Farmers Market Set to Open Saturday

The Newport Farmers Market is set to open Saturday in a brand new location. You’ll remember that we didn’t have a local Farmer’s Market last year, but this year, the efforts were spearheaded by the City’s executive assistant Regina Thornton who is the coordinator of the Newport Farmer’s Market. The Newport Farmers’ Market will be downtown in the city hall parking lot on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm starting May 3rd and the vendors can set up from 8:00- 8:30 am. A non-refundable application fee of $25.00 to the City of Newport is required and payable in advance of your requested market dates. All vendors will pay $10.00 per space per market day. Applications and the market policy will be available on the City’s Facebook page, at city hall and on the city website, www.cityofnewport-tn.com. Some of the items available at this Saturdays Market include fresh sourdough bread and a variety of other breads, fresh flowers, jams and jellies, farm fresh eggs and more. Items will vary from week to week depending on which vendors are available.
