Those living in the apartments near downtown Knoxville, TN often look for fresh produce to serve up to their families. Although this produce can be bought at most of the larger supermarkets, one must ask themselves, how fresh it really is?
You can find all sorts of great produce at the farmers market!
See the thing is, large supermarkets often import their produce from other sources and it really does not stay fresh in transport, which can take 3-7 days. This is why people living in the local vicinity choose to shop at the Market Square Farmers Market in Knoxville every Wednesday from 11a.m. to 2p.m. and Saturday from 9a.m. to 2p.m., May through November.
The Market Square Farmers Market is open all year round, however, the sale of produce only takes place in season. When the produce season arrives, local area farmers rent booths or outside stands to sell their wares. And might I add, they are fresh from the farm.
Residents of the apartments near downtown Knoxville, TN know that not only are they getting the freshest produce they can get, they are getting it at wholesale costs, without the grocery store markup.
So go ahead and save yourself some money and shop at the Market Square Farmers Market in Knoxville, TN.
