It’s like going home to visit the family farm every Saturday morning. Bring the kids and even your WELL BEHAVED dog. There is something for everyone in the family from 8am to 1pm behind The Factory in Franklin, TN
Be prepared to spend some time and money because these farmers are working hard and get up at the crack to bring the best produce to Franklin just for you. Plus you are going to run into old friends you haven’t seen in years and it is fun to catch up.
Fill up your cloth shopping bags with seasonal vegetables, fruit, farm fresh eggs, meats, cheeses, milk and those oh so wonderful baked goods…yum. Stroll through the rows of vendors and be amazed at how many great things are available.
From art to soap to plants to jewelry to canned goods to maple syrup…and on and on and on until you get to the fresh cut flowers – beautiful and irresistible, I know this personally.
Once you’ve covered half or so, sit a spell with an out of this world all natural personal cheese cake and a glass of organic ice tea from Lucy’s Kitchen

or a breakfast crepe from Rebecca’s Crepes while you listen to live music. You can watch this family of crepe makers build your crepe which adds to the fun.

Now you are ready to visit and shop with the other half of the vendors, pick up a few more foodstuffs to get you through the week. On your way out don’t forget to pick up your box of organic produce from Delvin’s Farm…the one they were so kind to hold with your name on it so you didn’t have to carry it around with you. Look at the amount and the variety of produce that Ruthie Mayhew is about to take home – it’s no wonder she looks so happy!
I grow lots of produce in my own kitchen garden but I always find I need just a few more things to get me through till next Saturday like the lima beans and smiles from Norton Family Farm, and grass fed beef from Rocky Glade Farm. Oh and if you haven’t signed up for Julie Vaughn’s newsletter do it today. She writes stories of real farm life that will warm your heart and make you laugh out loud. www.rockygladefarm.com.
Bloomsbury Farm has wheatgrass and just look at those colorful tomatoes!
A trip wouldn’t be complete without a loaf of bread and some Hatcher Dairy milk.
A Big Thanks and virtual Hug to all the local farmers in our community who work so hard so we don’t have to and provide everything we need close by.
If you live near Franklin, TN and haven’t been or been lately to the Franklin Farmer’s market…roll by this coming Saturday. You will be glad you did.
