Do vendors at the market offer community supported agriculture (CSA) shares?
Yes. Some of our vendors use the market as a pick up point for their CSAs. See our Community Supported Agriculture page for more details. How did the market get started? In June of 2005, a community-based committee formed a Board of Directors to create and operate Memphis Farmers Market to respond to a growing demand for a local farmers market downtown. The Memphis Farmers Market (MFM) is a seasonal outdoor market located in the Pavilion at Central Station in the historic South Main Arts District. The all-volunteer Board of Directors has created a Tennessee nonprofit corporation, and has an application pending with the IRS for 501(c)(3) status. Are there other farmer markets in the Memphis area? Yes, and we encourage you to visit them as well. The Memphis Farmers Market is always looking for opportunities to partner with other community farmers markets. Many of our vendor also sell at other markets. Other area markets include the Agricenter Farmers Market, Farmers Market at the Garden
