Want some fresh and locally grown food? Save your gas money and come to the Dandridge Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8 AM to 12 PM at the parking lot on the corner of Meeting and Gay Streets near the caution light (Hwy 92 South and US 25/70—one block north of the Jefferson County Courthouse). The market starts June 12th and is planned to end in November, dependent on this year’s growing season. The market is about two miles from I-40 Exit 417.

This is a way you can support our local economy and at the same time have the freshest fruits, vegetables, eggs, honey and other farm products. All vendors are local farmers and none are reselling items. Many of them are organically growing their produce. So, come on down and stock up and eat local produce.

 The market is presented by the Dandridge Main Street Program in cooperation with the Town of Dandridge, and the UT Jefferson County Extension. Sponsors are Farm Bureau, Farm Credit, and Jefferson Farmers Cooperative who are helping to match grant funds from a Tennessee Dept. of Economic and Community Development Main Street Innovation Grant.  

 Many merchants in the historic downtown Dandridge are offering discount coupons to Farmers Market shoppers. The market will help retain agricultural lands in Jefferson County, support the Jefferson County economy, and offer consumers the best in locally grown fresh foods.

 Some of the events that in planning are programs by the Jefferson County 4-H Club, cooking demonstrations, tomato contests, and other fun and informative activities.
