Farmers Market in Chattanooga (2025)

America's Biggest Farmers Markets Are Must-Visits

Held every Sunday from April to December, this producer-only market requires that all goods be made or grown by its roughly 200 participating vendors, offering just-harvested produce, cheese, meat, herbs, baked goods, artisanal foods, and local arts and crafts. Themed weekends like Strawberry Festival and Oktoberfest bring big crowds and live bluegrass, and the market’s family-friendly vibe draws about 6,000 weekly visitors. Don’t miss smoked barbecue sliders from local pitmasters and sweet fried pies from regional bakers. - Veronica Stoddart
