KS farmers market applications open for 2024 season

Applications for the Kingston Springs Farmers and Artisans Market are now open for the 2024 season, which begins May 25. 

“Do you like Farmers Markets? Ever thought about being a vendor? Our 2024 Farmers and Artisans Market will be here before you know it and we'd love to talk with you,” the Town of Kingston Springs wrote on its Facebook page on Feb. 14. “Whether you have a farm or grow in your backyard we have a spot for you.”

The markets take place on Main Street in downtown Kingston Springs on Saturday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon. The season will run from May 25 through Aug. 31. 

The following items may be offered for sale at the market: 

• Farm fresh products grown in Tennessee - such as fruits, vegetables, eggs, meats, plants, flowers, honey and the like; 

• Baked goods, candy, jams, jellies, sauces, cider, and the like, made by the vendor;

• Handmade craft and artisan items made in Tennessee such as soaps, candles, crafts, clothing, photography and more; and

• Advertisements for off-site vendors’ offerings, such as live animals. Live animals and their sale are prohibited at the market.

Vendors can choose to participate during the entire season for $75, or on specific weekends for $15 each time. If interested, please click here for a 2024 Vendor Application, or email citymanager@kingstonsprings-tn.gov for additional information. 

2024 will be the town’s 11th farmers market season. 

“You'll find our Market is a place where people come to relax, listen to live music, talk with neighbors and friends, and even make new friends as they shop for fresh local food and beautiful handmade crafts,” the event's website reads. “We think of it as hosting a friendly little party on Saturday mornings in beautiful downtown Kingston Springs.”
