In this new year an important way to support our health and wellness goals is to buy food from our local farmers. Locally grown food from our area tastes fresher, supports local family farms, and we know where our food comes from. There are two winter markets in our area offering an abundance of locally raised produce, meat, eggs, honey, preserves, pickled products and baked goods. Each Saturday until Spring, find quality locally raised goods at Nourish Market (Mary Costa Plaza, Knoxville Civic Auditorium-Coliseum) and the Grow Oak Ridge Winter Market (323 VERMONT AVENUE, OAK RIDGE.) Both of these markets accept snap benefits, observe Covid-19 precautionary steps, and offer the highest quality local products from East Tennessee producers. In this day and time It sure is reassuring to know who produces our food.
