We are only a few days away from the Rutherford County Farmers’ Market reopening for the season. The opening day is set for this Friday, May 13th!
This is a Producer-Only Farmers' Market and it is located at the indoor open-air Community Center at the Lane Agri-Park in Murfreesboro on John R. Rice Blvd., down from the Sam's Club and Tractor Supply.
According to the Agriculture Extension service, the local farmers’ market will be open from the second Friday in May through the last Friday in October, between the hours of 7am and 12 noon - every Tuesday and Friday.
