Well, they did and they are completely doing it right! I can't imagine the time and energy that has gone into this amazing dream. You will find them at the Market Square Farmer's Market selling their beautiful produce. Their goods are in Three Rivers Market. And my most recent discovery has pushed their awesome level off the freakin' charts. A few days a week, you can stop at the farm and purchase fresh produce from their Market Stand. It's so easy and it doesn't get any fresher. Once I placed my order, the cool cat that was working turned around, went and picked what I ordered, washed it, and handed it over to me. Prices seem even cheaper than they would if you purchased these goodies at the farmer's market. I can't say enough about how fantastic this place is. Their people. Their vision. Their produce. It's all as good as it gets!

It really is little things like this that keep me happy. This Farmers' Market is located in the UT…read moreGardens on Neyland drive and is literally just a stone throw from where I work. It operates every Wednesday (closed in the winter months) from 4PM- 7 PM. I've walked across the street a handful of times to indulge in the pleasure of getting local products from the hardworking farmers/craftsmen in the area. It is not as big as the Market Square Farmers' market but it has a good representation of produce, food, plants, crafts and a handful of other random things. The Tootsie food truck actually also shows up here sometimes, although they are not consistently there. Quite a few of the vendors are actually not represented at the market downtown so it is nice to get some variety. What inspired this review was the heavenly sandwich I got yesterday. I had been stuck at work all day, didn't bring lunch and I had no idea when I was going to be able to go home. I realized it was 5 PM on a Wednesday and decided to grab a late lunch/early dinner. The Tootsie truck was not there but this wonderful Vietnamese stand had warm food. I had actually not noticed their stand before yesterday. I got a vegetarian banh mi sandwich that totally knocked my socks off. I don't actually remember a sandwich that was that good and only cost $5.00. I went back to work and tried to get everybody I could find to go buy one. They also had egg rolls (which were a little on the oily side), fish tacos and pork banh mi sandwiches. That meal was definitely a lifesaver and it was delicious. I really like the convenience of this Farmers' market and I encourage anyone close to campus to consider visiting. It is in a well shaded area and provides an opportunity to walk around and appreciate the beauty that is the UT gardens. It is also a wonderful opportunity to buy and support local!

The vendors were exceptional--high-quality offerings across the board, with an abundant selection of fresh vegetables, honey, blooming flower stands and artisan booths.

A vibrant, well-balanced space that blends community charm with open-air elegance.

So I had it bookmarked here but the address is WRONG. I spoke with the people at the information booth and showed them the yelp page and they said they have submitted numerous times an address change. The address on here on Howard Baker was where they had it during covid. They changed it to 10 Market Square. The only reason why I know this is because I bookmarked a Facebook event and showed that to the girls at the information booth also. Anyways, I was really shocked that when I got here, this place was HUGE. There were probably around 150 tents there with so many items from fresh produce, bakery items, crafts etc. So it was like a craft fair and farmers market on steroids. I would have never known it was here if I didn't see it on facebook events. If Im in the area again I ill definitely come back

We arrived an hour after opening and everything was being freshly restocked. There are so many wonderful choices but since we were trying to cram as many places as we could into the weekend we limited ourselves to 2 pastries. We tried the almond croissant and the lemon one. The almond was good but maybe a tad over baked. It didn't have that tender flakiness I expected of a croissant. Flavorful yes and still worth a try. Next up was the lemon filled croissant. OMG!!! this was perfection in a pastry. Tender flaky and just the right amount of the filling. The filling was sweet and tart but in an addictive way. I wanted to go back and buy several more it was that good. If all the other fruit filled croissants are like the lemon, you won't be disappointed. They have a varón options including coffee. We skipped coffee since we had another place picked for coffee. If you're in Knoxville give this place a try. I'm sure you will find a delicious option you'll love. We will definitely be back when we return to the area.

The only blueberries that were left, with an hour and a half to go, were the blueberry plants. From the pictures I saw, this was the only vendor that had blueberries and therefore, sold out. With that being said, there were many vendors to choose from offering a variety of fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. There was even a darling lady set up offering essential oils! Every single item I purchased was DELICIOUS! The herbs, veggies, fruits were all tasty and juicy with great aromas. Everyone at the stations were kind and helpful and had no issues talking with me about the different varieties of food they were offering. Very thankful for this market. I wish they were open further into the fall season.

Of course everyone here in Knoxville know them by their amazing LEMON Cookies... though the food is equally amazing ! The bread on both our sandwiches was to die for!

It's a very small bakery, but the moment you walk in, you're hit with the most delicious smells. You're surrounded by freshly baked cookies everywhere, and there are old-school toys displayed in a glass case, which makes it really unique and charming. It was so hard to choose from the display case because everything looked amazing. I ended up picking three different kinds of cookies to try, and they did not disappoint--they were all delicious. If you ever find yourself out on Chapman Highway, this place is absolutely worth the stop. Definitely one of the best-kept secrets around. If you want it shorter or more casual (like for Google reviews or Facebook), I can tweak it too.
