It’s farmers market season! Nashville is lucky enough to have two year-round farmers markets, but many more pop up in spring.

Farmers markets are a way for food growers and other vendors to serve the community directly, outside of big box grocery stores. So who are these farmers and other vendors? Who are the community members that come out to support them? And how do farmers markets intersect with food justice?

GUESTS

  • Michael Bradford, Farmer and co-owner of Una Acre Farm
  • Gretchen Trast, Co-founder of The Honey Collective
  • Ben Piñon, Richland Park Farmers Market patron
  • Karen Overton, Farmer and owner of Wedge Oak Farm
  • Patricia Tarquino, Director of Community Agriculture, The Nashville Food Project; Board member, Cosecha Community Development
