Hi all! I hope you enjoyed your Fourth of July and celebrating the freedoms and blessings we have in this great nation. One thing that we are incredibly blessed with in this country is access to fresh produce, especially in the summer. If you haven't been to any of the Farmers' Markets in the area, here are a couple to try out:
Market Square Farmers' Market-located downtown in Market Square. They run from May until mid/late November on Wednesdays from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm and on Saturdays from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm. There are several great restaurants and stores on Market Square and downtown as well.

UT Farmers' Market-located at the UT Gardens (2518 Jacob Drive, off of Neyland Drive). This one runs from mid May until mid October on Wednesdays from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm. If you haven't been to UT Gardens, definitely swing by. There is no charge to get into the gardens and they are open all year long.

Lakeshore Park Market-located in Lakeshore Park across from the Knox Youth Sports Building (and the baseball fields). Running from mid April until late November on Fridays 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. If you arrive shortly before 3:00 pm, you can usually find a good parking spot at the lot across the street.
