Buying local is about more than what you take home!

Every purchase at the market supports local farmers and small businesses, helps keep dollars in the community, and strengthens the connections between the people who grow food and the people who enjoy it.

It also gives YOU the opportunity to shop with the seasons, discovering fruits and vegetables when they're at their freshest and most flavorful.

Small choices add up. Every purchase has a ripple effect. And when you buy local, you're investing in the people, businesses, and farms that help make our community unique.

Cars on one side, cotton planting on the other. 🌱🚜

That’s everyday life here at Agricenter International, where research like this is taking place right in the middle of Memphis at the nation’s largest urban farm.

This no-till trial is planting cotton through a cover crop mix that includes rye, oats, and clover as researchers continue studying soil health and conservation practices in the Mid-South.

Farmers markets aren’t grocery stores, and that’s the point.

And while you’ll definitely find fresh produce here, the market is so much more than what’s on the table.

It’s a place where local farmers, makers, and small businesses come together, and where the community can connect directly with the people behind the products.

It’s where you can ask questions, try something new, and get a better understanding of where your food comes from.

Whether you’re stopping by for your weekly groceries or just taking a walk through, there’s always something to discover.

Welcome to the Agricenter Farmers Market. 🌿
