Bartlett Station Farmers Market

Bartlett Station Farmers Market is shaped by a clear mission: improve public health and nutrition, provide access to locally grown food sources, and assist local farmers, artisans, and producers as they distribute their goods. Established in 2011, the market also ties that mission to Bartlett Station itself by bringing together citizens, businesses in the area, and community leaders around fresh produce and value-added foods. Its seasonal Saturday run at W.J. Freeman Park gives the market a defined warm-weather rhythm, with vendors set up at 2629 Bartlett Blvd. in Bartlett.

Why it matters locally

Established in 2011, Bartlett Station Farmers Market describes its role as bringing together Bartlett citizens, businesses in the Bartlett Station area, and community leaders in one place. That local emphasis is built into the market's mission, which centers on access to locally grown food sources and support for local farmers, artisans, and producers selling their goods.

The market's lineup reflects that wide lens. Alongside farm names such as D & R Farms, Red Lizard Farms, Rhodes Farm, Ripley Produce, Meltons Heirloom Gardens, and Vessel of Veggies, the roster also includes bakers, prepared-food vendors, makers, and civic partners. The market team itself names a manager, assistant manager, advisory committee member, and Kathy Carl of the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce, connecting the market to local organizing as well as weekly selling.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix stretches well beyond produce alone, with farm stands, bakeries, sweets, coffee, prepared foods, woodwork, bath and body goods, and rescue or church booths appearing in the market roster. That means a Saturday stop here can look less like a single errand and more like a pass through several small local businesses gathered at W.J. Freeman Park.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest rule likely to change how you plan a Saturday visit. The market is set at W.J. Freeman Park, 2629 Bartlett Blvd., so head to the park rather than the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce contact address on Elmore Park Road.

The season is limited to late May through late September, with shopping on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Restrooms are not available in the market's visit details, so plan your stop accordingly. If you need a direct contact, the market team names Lyn Whitson as market manager, and the listed phone number is (901) 372-9457.
