I tend to forget the Sunday morning Oakridge farmers market exists but it always feel great to support whenever I can 🙂
Get the Thai basil for $1.50 per huge bunch. They’re usually on the left in this picture. Then secretly make fun of the goofball selling POPCORN for $11 per bag.

Farmers Markets other than Market Square?
Hey friends - are there any other Farmers Markets besides Market Square? Like Oak Ridge or at a church or library parking lot or anything? We recently moved back to Knoxville after 10 years in Atlanta, where we got spoiled with about 8 different farmers markets around town…
Indoor Farmers market
Hi, everyone! I wanted to ask if anyone knows if there's any indoor farmer's markets in the winter here or nearby?

🍪 Sweet Tooth Satisfied
Don't miss the stuffed cookies from Cooky truck – they're top-notch!
Amish or farmers market
We are freshly moved here and trying to make the most of it while we are here. Are there any Amish or farmers markets within an hours drive worth checking out? Even found a couple of produce stands but if we’re driving a spell we’d like it to be worth the drive. Thanks!!

"Highly recommend visiting this local Farmers Market but go early while all the tables are fully stocked! After picking up veggies, mushrooms, sweet treats (VGs Bakery), honey and more, check out Jackson Square for coffee or breakfast."

"This is an awesome Farmers Market. Plenty of vendors to purchase from. We typically buy all vegetables. Zucchini, Squash, White Half Runner Beans, Cucumbers, Tomatoes 🍅 and last Saturday we bought a doz ears of WHITE 🌽 CORN. It was soo sweet. Also long green onions for salad. Also something I should be staying away from, VG's Bakery in Farragut is there every Saturday. I bought a Zucchini Bread that was scrumptious (put 1/2 in freezer) 4 different cookies, 1 scone, and 1 blueberry muffin all soo good, and all homemade with no preservatives."

"Easy parking good vendors, the NY strips are too high priced, but there is a spice guy there, Kanjulqa Gardens, they have great spices to throw into any dish. There is also a stuffed cookie truck, Cooky, top notch cookies"
