2016 Farmers Market Season Kick-off
June 4th from 8:30 until noon @ the Covered Bridge in the Glades
The Gatlinburg Farmers Market would like to invite you all to join us for our Season Kick-Off event featuring Bluegrass music, plant-give-away, door prizes, and children's activities in the Great Smoky Arts and Craft Community at the Covered Bridge (849 Glades Road, Gatlinburg).
Products: Now in its seventh season, the market provides Tennessee grown produce, local products, and foods in a friendly social environment. Patrons will find a variety of in-season goods that may include fruits, nuts, berries, honey, jellies and jams, and vegetables. Also available are plants, baked goods and natural health and wellness products.
Events: Join in on the fun every second Saturday with music and special events featuring the best of the natural and cultural resources of the Smokies. Kids will enjoy participating in market activities every fourth Saturday conducted by a local business and a scavenger hunt for local food treasures. (Look in the Market Calendar tab for these events.)
Internships: As part of the market's goal to enhance the quality of life in the Gatlinburg area and to educate people on nutritional, economic, environmental, and social implications of eating seasonally and locally, we have developed internship opportunities for youth and young adults interested in earning community service merits. (Look in the Internship tab for job descriptions and more information.)

Local Choices for Healthy Mountain Living
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, who are focused on 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 |
