Farmers Markets near Franklin, TN

The market meets on the lawn of Forest Hills United Methodist Church at Old Hickory Boulevard and Granny White Pike, under a Burr oak more than 200 years old.

Dogs aren't permitted on the grounds.

Thompsons Station

A small-town market in Thompson's Station, a Williamson County community just south of Franklin on Columbia Pike. Growers from the surrounding countryside bring seasonal produce and homemade goods during the warmer months. The town has grown quickly as Nashville's suburbs spread south, and the market gives residents a local source close to home. Market days run seasonally, so confirm before heading out.

A producer-only market at the Historic Nolensville School on Nolensville Road, this one runs year-round — Saturdays 8 to noon May through October, then 9 to noon in winter. Vendors sell grass-fed beef, pork, chicken, eggs, produce, baked goods, artisan cheese, coffee, and goat-milk soaps. Indoor space keeps it going in bad weather, and live music plays most weeks.

Spring Hill

A seasonal market on Main Street in Spring Hill, the fast-growing town straddling the Maury and Williamson county line south of Nashville. Local growers sell produce and other homegrown and homemade goods through the warm-weather months. Dates and the vendor roster shift each season, so the market's Facebook page or the City of Spring Hill is the place to confirm hours before driving over.
