Every spring and summer during the growing season, thousands of people across Sumner County participate in some of the most popular activities around – shopping at local farmers markets. Timed to coincide with the growing season, area markets are filled with large selections of produce and goods including farm fresh fruits and vegetables, arts & crafts and specialty merchandise.
“Markets such as our Hendersonville Farmers & Artisan Market feature local farmers, food artisans and craftspersons who offer a wide variety of locally produced products,” says Cheryl Puryear, market manager and community events coordinator for the Streets of Indian Lake. “For example, our farmers offer naturally raised meats, produce and eggs, our food artisans bring their custom jams, jellies, cakes and pies and our craft vendors showcase such items as creative home décor, pottery, woodworks, leather goods and handmade soaps.”
From Hendersonville to Gallatin to Portland, Sumner Countians love shopping at farmers markets, and they eagerly return week after week.
