In the past five years, IBIS Worldfarmers markets grew 7.5% to become a $1.3 billion industry. It creates a personal connection between farmers and shoppers, and by cutting out the middleman, farmers get more for their food dollar, shoppers get fresh, locally grown food, and local economies get a boost.
The most commonly purchased items are fruits and vegetables, followed by meat and dairy products, with miscellaneous foods such as sauces, artisanal pastas and flavored oils coming in third.
The Maury County area is home to numerous farmers markets offering locally grown produce, meats, cheeses, other foods, plants, fine crafts, and more.
