The good people at the Madison City Farmers Market know it’s more important than ever to take care of ourselves and eat fresh, healthy food.

Plan to have Fresh Local Food for Your Table!

The Madison Farmers Market has so many staples families need, and is a truly local market, offering only products that are grown or made in the Tennessee Valley. You’ll get the warm-fuzzies for supporting local farmers and small business owners that live and work right here in North Alabama. It’s a win-win!

In addition to a huge variety of seasonal fruits & vegetables, here’s what else you’ll find at the Madison Farmers Market:

Farmers Markets vs Big Box Stores

But why is it even important to shop at Alabama Farmers markets? It’s these three reasons that do it for us…

1.) When your food is produced, processed, distributed and sold all within the same region, more of those dollars stay local, leading to economic development and job creation – all good things we want for families in North Alabama! The Madison City Farmers Market provides opportunities for these small family farms and businesses to sell their harvests, and they help meet the growing demand for locally produced food.
2.) Taking your kids to visit a farmers market connects them to their local food system – it’s a great chance to talk about where food comes from and how it’s grown with little ones.
3.) Buying locally-grown produce can also be more nutritious. Vivid colors in fruits and vegetables are a reflection of the nutrients they contain. Have you ever compared a grocery store tomato to a vine-picked Alabama tomato? Many local farmers can cultivate extremely nutritious produce through their careful farming methods.
