Franklin Farmers Market

1:23 pm | Wednesday, Aug 19th

| No Comments

The Franklin Farmers Market is a real farmers market, with a “grow it, raise it, make it or bake it” standard. Know your farmer; know your food. Meet Tennessee’s best farmers, bakers and artisans at the Franklin Farmers Market and enjoy the very finest in locally-produced goods every Saturday.

————————————-

In 2002, eight farmers came together to create the Franklin Farmers Market, a 501(c)(5) non-profit agricultural organization with the mission to keep Tennessee’s beautiful farmlands green and growing. The FFM provides a connection between farmers and the public to create a partnership that assures a more sustainable future for everyone. The Franklin Farmers Market delivers a reliable means for local farms to stay productive and profitable. Farmland that is productive is less likely to disappear into urban sprawl or development.

With a large base of loyal customers, the Franklin Farmers Market has grown from a summer-only marketplace to a year-round operation and the number of farms participating in the market each year has increased from 8 to over 70 farms.

The Franklin Farmers Market works to support a diversified, sustainable agriculture system by operating with three main goals:

Keep local family farms productive and profitable by providing a reliable venue for farmers to sell what they grow or produce. By doing that, the market strengthens and builds financial sustainability for both farmers and the local economy.
Give the public easy access to healthy, locally-grown fresh food. All vegetables and fruits; meats, dairy and herbs at the Franklin Farmers Market come from local farms.
Educate the public about the positive impact that farming has on their community’s health, economy, aesthetic values and the environment.

COAST TO COAST BLUES NIGHT

8:00 pm | Thursday, Aug 13th

Mark Hummel, Charlie Baty and Anson Funderburgh Golden State Lone Star Revue. Sponsored by the Nashville Blues Society, this exciting double bill is a union of blues greats from across the country.

GOLDEN STATE LONE STAR REVUE

This new supergroup boasts harmonica legend Mark Hummel, Texas blues guitar hero Anson Funderburgh (Anson Funderburgh & the Rockets) and West Coast jump blues guitar virtuoso Charlie Batey (Little Charlie & the Nightcats), playing a blend of original songs and classics that set a high bar for musical excitement. Their collective name reflects this history-making union of outstanding veteran blues artists from the Lone Star State and California, two longtime bastions of the music. All three performers are Blues Music Award winners and among the most respected figures in contemporary blues today.

THE ANDY T — NICK NIXON BAND

The Nashville-based Andy T – Nick Nixon Band has quickly developed an international reputation for excellence in traditional blues, garnering a Blues Music Award nomination for their second album Livin’ It Up. California-born guitarist Andy T, a veteran of Smokey Wilson’s and Guitar Shorty’s bands, brings a pedigreed six-string approach stoked by the fires of T-Bone Walker and Albert Collins, among other guitar greats, to the fore, while veteran singer Nick Nixon, who emerged from Nashville’s Jefferson Street music scene in the 1960s and was signed to the historic Chess label, is a powerhouse whose voice can only be described as a force of nature. This show is a special album-release celebration for their new album Numbers Man, scheduled for August 28.

Please visit The Franklin Theatre for tickets and more information.
