We are on the Tennessee Farmers Market Trail!

Exciting news! The Murfreesboro Saturday Market is one of five Tennessee farmers markets on the new Tennessee Farmers Market Trail, launching this weekend. This unique experience connects five vibrant farmers' markets, each offering its own mix of fresh produce, handmade goods, and community charm. From seasonal fruits and vegetables to baked goods and artisan products, every stop along the trail is a chance to meet local farmers, support small businesses, and explore something new. Visit each location, check in, and collect a one-of-a-kind sticker as you go. Complete all five stops and earn a special Farmers Market Trail tote—plus, every QR code check-in at the market enters you to win a $200 farmers market gift card to the market of your choice. Start your trail adventure this Saturday by checking in at our information tent. We will have details and your free trail sticker.

The Murfreesboro Saturday Market is excited to be a part of this first step in creating a state-wide trail of farmers markets. The trail connects farmers markets and agritourism destinations across Tennessee, inviting visitors to explore local food, meet farmers, and experience the rich agricultural heritage of our state.
