MURFREESBORO, TN – A beloved local tradition hits a major milestone this year as the Rutherford County Farmers’ Market celebrates its 50th anniversary when it opens for the 2025 season on Friday, May 9.

Held at the Lane Agri-Park Community Center in Murfreesboro, the market will welcome visitors every Tuesday and Friday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. through October 31, offering fresh, local goods and a half-century of agricultural heritage.

As a Producer-Only Farmers’ Market, every product available is grown, baked, or handmade by vendors who come from more than a dozen counties across Middle Tennessee. Marketgoers can shop an abundant selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables, farm-raised meats and eggs, baked and canned goods, flowers, and ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees.

“Reaching 50 years is a testament to the incredible community support and the dedication of our local growers,” said organizers. “We’re proud to continue providing a space where local agriculture and community spirit come together.”

The market’s open-air and indoor setting at Lane Agri-Park makes it an inviting destination rain or shine, and special activities and recognitions are expected throughout the season to mark the golden anniversary.

Don’t miss the kickoff to this landmark season. Grab your tote bags and join the celebration of 50 years of fresh food, local farms, and community connection at the Rutherford County Farmers’ Market.
