The forecast of freezing temperatures means an end of this year’s Cannon County Farmers Market. Local producers have provided a variety of fruits, vegetables, canned items and baked goods in spite of adverse weather conditions. We appreciate the support the local community has provided to the Market and look forward to what next season has to offer. We are in the planning stage of a permanent structure which will be home of the Cannon County Farmers Market. Construction of the building will begin early in 2013 and should be completed prior to the 2013 season.We appreciate the support of the Cannon County Commission, Arts Center of Cannon County, USDA Rural Development, Tennessee Department of Agriculture, Cannon County Chamber of Commerce and especially local businesses and restaurants for utilizing locally grown, farm fresh fruits and vegetables; Chilango’s, Blue Porch, Parley’s Market and Save A Lot. If you need more information concerning the market or would like to become a vendor, contact Bruce Steelman at the Cannon County Extension Office (563-2554), bsteelman@utk.edu or www.cannoncountyfarmersmarket.com.
