Depot Street Farmers Market

Depot Street Farmers Market in Greeneville is tied into Nourish Knoxville programming, with Nourish Kids Days scheduled across the season and family activities built into several market dates. The market runs as a 100% producer-only market, a detail that sets expectations for who is selling and what kind of direct connection shoppers can expect on Saturday mornings. Its calendar also gives the season a distinct shape, from opening day in May to themed dates like the Great Tomato Tasteoff, apple tasting, and Halloween trick-or-treating at the market.

Why it matters locally

The 50-mile vendor rule keeps Depot Street Farmers Market closely tied to Greeneville and the farms and makers around it. Vendors must both reside within that radius and produce the items they sell, and the market describes itself as producer-only or grower-only rather than a resale outlet. That local boundary matters in practical terms: when shoppers come for produce, meats, or handmade goods, they are buying from the farmers and artisans connected to this part of East Tennessee.

The market’s partnerships also stay rooted in local organizations. Nourish Knoxville appears throughout the season through Nourish Kids activities, while the Big Spring Master Gardener Association is part of the market’s 10th Anniversary apple tasting event. Taken together, those details point to a market that emphasizes local production and recurring educational programming rather than a one-off shopping stop.

What you'll find there

The market’s own event calendar points to a mix centered on fresh food and handmade goods, with recurring family activities layered onto the regular Saturday shop. Rather than listing broad categories only, the season highlights a few products directly through tastings and crop-themed kids programs.

• -Find fresh local produce at opening day and throughout the season.
• -Shop quality meats as part of the regular market lineup.
• -Browse handmade goods from local artisans at the market.
• -Taste tomatoes during the 2025 Great Tomato Tasteoff.
• -Sample apples during the 10th Anniversary Celebration with Big Spring Master Gardener Association.
• -See cucumbers and pumpkins featured in Nourish Kids activities later in the season.

Seasonal events include Nourish Kids Days in May, June, July, August, and October, plus Halloween trick-or-treating at the market and a Holiday Market at Eastview Recreation Center in November.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest policy detail to factor into your visit plans. The market takes place at 200 West Depot Street in Greeneville on Saturday mornings during the main May-through-October season. If you are planning around a specific weekend, the calendar matters here: the market lists a closure during Iris Festival Weekend, and it also schedules special dates such as opening day, anniversary programming, and holiday market activity at Eastview Recreation Center later in the year.

Restrooms are listed as unavailable on site, another practical detail that may shape how long you plan to stay or whether you pair the trip with another stop downtown.

Payments & SNAP

Depot Street Farmers Market accepts SNAP/EBT for approved products, and its materials also reference Double Up Food Bucks alongside the SNAP/EBT program. Payment information is presented clearly as part of the market’s visitor details, which makes this a workable stop for shoppers planning to use food assistance benefits on market day.
