As more and more Tennesseans seek out farmers markets for their produce, Tennesseans can now find the nearest farmers market within seconds through a new mobile app.  The Pick Tennessee mobile app is a free and easy app that can help you find farms and farmers markets nearest to you. It allows you to search by item (for example, “apples”), by region of the state, or by season.

Pick Tennessee will get you where you’re going through direct GPS mapping.  Some of the great farm direct and local items you can find on this app include local fruits and vegetables, wineries, greenhouses and plant nurseries, Christmas tree farms, plus local honey. You can find the farms where they’re produced, or the markets where they’re sold.
