Michael and Tonya Bradford of Una Acre Farm interact with a customer at the Amqui Station Farmers Market.
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?
