Forest Hills UMC Farmers Market

Forest Hills UMC Farmers Market brings a church-ground setting and a farm-focused roster together on summer Saturdays in Brentwood, with about 15 vendors gathered at Forest Hills United Methodist Church near the Granny White Pike intersection. The market runs at 1250 Old Hickory Boulevard from June through September, giving this part of Brentwood a compact seasonal stop for produce, meats, seafood, baked goods, drinks, and prepared meals. Its mix feels rooted in small-scale food buying rather than browsing alone: farms anchor the lineup, while bakers and ready-to-eat vendors round out a short morning shop.

Why it matters locally

Feed America First is built into the market’s purpose: growers are asked to donate portions of their fresh produce, tying weekly shopping to food distribution beyond the market itself. That mission sits alongside a roster centered on participating local farms, including Delvin Farms, Real Food Farms, Howell Farms, Blue Berry Ridge, and Pinewood Farms.

The market is also organized through Forest Hills United Methodist Church, with Jim Hughes identified as market manager and Leigh Ann Pettus as coordinator. In practice, that means this is not just a Saturday sales point at 1250 Old Hickory Boulevard; it is a church-hosted market with a stated produce-donation link to Feed America First and a vendor mix that keeps the emphasis on nearby farm sellers.

What you'll find there

The lineup here leans farm-first, then fills in with proteins, baked goods, drinks, and a small prepared-food presence. With roughly 15 vendors, the market reads as a focused weekly shop rather than a sprawling roster, and the named sellers give a clear sense of that balance.

Under a 200-plus-year-old Burr Oak tree in the church yard, the market has a physical setting that is unusually specific: not just church grounds, but a long-established tree named as part of the market’s usual spot. That detail pairs with its location near the Granny White Pike intersection, giving the market a recognizable landmark-driven identity before you even get to the vendor tables. The church host, the burr oak, and the produce-donation connection to Feed America First all point in the same direction, making the market feel tied to place and purpose rather than only to weekly transactions. Even the short summer season reinforces that sense of occasion: this is a Saturday morning market with a defined window and a defined setting.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest visit rule, so plan to leave pets at home. The market meets on Saturdays from 8am to noon at 1250 Old Hickory Boulevard, at Forest Hills United Methodist Church near the Granny White Pike intersection. The season runs from June through September, so this is a summer market rather than a year-round stop. Restrooms are not available, which may matter if you are planning a longer family outing or combining this stop with other errands. Payment methods are clearly posted, but no SNAP/EBT detail is provided here.
