The Frenchtown Farmer’s Market is BACK!

We will have popular, returning vendors and a variety of new vendors from the local area selling their products for the first time, including our own Urban Farmer Training Program graduates.

Our first market will be Saturday, August 29th from 10am – 2pm at the Frenchtown Neighborhood Improvement Association (524 N MLK Jr Blvd, Tallahassee, FL).

This is an excellent opportunity to see what changes we’ve made, what new vendors will be joining us, and how you can be more involved in the local food scene here in Tallahassee.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. We want to serve the community as best we can, and that begins with listening to each other. Additionally, if you or anyone you know would like to participate as a vendor, please reach out! We are waiving vendor fees for the rest of year to make the market more accessible for everyone, and we would love to have you participate on the vendor side of things.

We hope you’ll join us as we bring everyone back together!
