It is with great enthusiasm that we present the Gatlinburg Farmers Market. We are residents of Sevier and Cocke Counties. Specifically Gatlinburg and surrounding towns, including Pigeon Forge and Sevierville who are focused on healthy food, lifestyle, technology, and major event productions throughout our careers. We all selected the Great Smoky Mountains as our home because of the beauty and offerings of the area and the wonderful lifestyle it brings and has the capacity to bring to its residents. The Gatlinburg Farmers Market is a dream and a vision to provide our residents and visitors with fresh, local produce for fair pricing while supporting and stimulating the local economy |
