First Day of the Market in 2022 is Saturday, May 7
Hello and welcome! We are currently in the planning phase for this upcoming market season. We will open on Saturday, May 1st and will continue through October 30th before changing to our winter market format (details TBD). Our operating hours will stay the same… 9am-12:30pm. We will still require all customers, vendors and volunteers to wear masks at all times while in the market space and to encourage social distancing… hopefully these COVID policies can “go by the wayside” as soon as possible
On November 11, 2021 the Montgomery City Council had a meeting to elect the officers of the Board of Directors and recogniize certain businesses and activities. This year the Montgomery Farmers Market was the receipient of the Gerri Harbison – Spirit of Montgomery Award for 2021.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet …
To borrow the phrase from the Greek historian, Herodotus, spoken about 2500 years ago “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.” Or in this case, Montgomery Farmers Market shoppers.
Customer relaxation tent. Right infront of the band!!
Thanks to the generous donation of a patron, we now have a music tent that can be used as a meeting and eating place for customers of the market (when it is not being used by the band).

Thank you and see you Saturday!
Reusable Market Bags Available With Your Favorite Vendors!
The Market is beginning a new environmental effort this week to reduce the use of plastic bags, and we need your help.
Here’s how it works. When you buy something from a vendor who usually puts your purchase in a plastic handle bag, they will offer you a FREE colorful market bag. We hope you will use it instead, and bring it back each week when you come to the Market.
MFM is joining with other markets in our region, and with CORV, to reduce the use of plastic, which has become a world-wide environmental problem. We received a grant from Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District for 80% of the cost of the bags. MFM is paying the rest, so there is no cost to you or your favorite vendors.
There are so many wonderful options at the market during this time of the year. Sometimes it makes it difficult to make a choice!
Lots of options to choose among… give them a try on Saturday!
See ’em all at farmers and food artisans
Hey kids, find those hidden peas!!!
Get rewarded with a Farmers Buck that may be used anywhere in the market. The Farmers Bucks have no expiration date. You can save them for a return visit
Hey Kids, THE PEAS ARE BACK!
Piper, Penelope and Pru are back from their winter holiday and are hiding around the market. They will be in different locations each week! Locate all three and tell Adrienne, our Market Manager, where you found them to win a special prize! (make sure to leave them in their hiding spots for other kids to find)
In addition to the the “3 peas” game, we have brought back live music. We hope to see you at the Market!
We love our doggies at the market!!!
A friendly reminder to our dog-loving friends to keep dogs on a leash and maintain control of them at all times while visiting the Market. Also keep the temperature in mind as the asphalt can get extra hot. More than anything, we want to be sure that all of our visitors (both 2- and 4-legged!) and vendors have a safe and enjoyable time at the Market.
We appreciate your cooperation and support.
