This Saturday May 6 is the 2023 opening day for the Depot Street Farmers Market located in the Greene County Partnership parking lot on 115 Academy Street, behind the Greeneville Energy Authority building. The new hours will be from 8 AM to noon.
We are expecting thirty vendors to be setting up with a good variety of items to choose from. There will be many returning vendors and some new ones joining us. There will be an assortment of spring salad greens, kale, mustard greens, cilantro, dill, spinach, and dried flowers along with chicken, eggs, beef, and a new pork vendor. Zucchini relish, green tomato relish, pickles, jams, jellies, infused vinegars, local honey, and homemade seasonings will be available. Sourdough bread, pastries, strawberry-rhubarb and pecan pie, and macaroons will be part of the choices of baked goods. A variety of herbs, flowers, and vegetable plants will be sold.
The Big Springs Master Gardeners will be presenting information on the historic New Hope Cemetery. As part of the kids booth, located between the Spider and the Bee and Not Your Grandmothers Jam booth, children will be able to plant a flower, decorate the pot and plant a seed to take home to watch it grow.
The Twisted Sister Snack Shack will be selling food, specializing in hamburgers, hot dogs, Philly Cheese Steaks, Frito pie and a breakfast item. All American Coffee will be there with their specialty coffees and snacks. Aaron Dingus will be providing the music. May is National Beef Monty and to honor this Fairwinds Farm will be having a special on their ground beef.
Again this year, they will be accepting SNAP benefits and will be participating in the Double Food Bucks, where SNAP customers can receive up to $20 to be used on produce. For more information call Heather at 423-525-2621.
