The Franklin Farmer’s Market is growing up and growing out to a beautiful new modern facility to the benefit of our farming, artisan, and bakery communities. By raising $4.5 million to construct our new modern pavilion home, we will provide the community with farm-fresh food, local artisan wares, and deliciously baked goods for generations to come!
Main Goals of the Market
The Franklin Farmers Market works to support a diversified, sustainable agriculture system by operating with three main goals:
Keep local family farms productive and profitable by providing a reliable venue for farmers to sell what they grow or produce. By doing that, the market strengthens and builds financial sustainability for both farmers and the local economy.
Give the public easy access to healthy, locally-grown fresh food. All vegetables and fruits; meats, dairy and herbs at the Franklin Farmers Market come from local farms.
Educate the public about the positive impact that farming has on their community’s health, economy, aesthetic values and the environment.
Open Saturdays from 8 AM to noon, all year round.
Hundreds of thousands of shoppers each year.
Over 100 vendors attend the market each week.
