This Weekend at the Memphis Farmer's Market Learn How To Make Food into Art and Celebrate Mother's Day this Saturday!
Food as Art
Enjoy the creations of vendors and patrons with the first ever MFM Food as Art contest.

Watermelon Carving
Watch the famous Robert Hayes as he takes a whole watermelon and carves away bits and pieces until an incredible work of art unfolds.

Kids can have fun painting with fruit and flowers from the Market and take home a special card they made just for Mama.

Products available this week
Find even more strawberries this week as May 1st through 10th is peak strawberry season for local growers.
Look for a bounty of greens, kale, chard, spinach, romaine lettuce, arugula, mesclun mix. Try mild spring onions, french radishes and broccoli rabe and sweet potatoes.

Need a gift for Mom? Think about hand made herbal soaps, a recycled garden luminary, hand thrown pottery, or an engraved reusable bottle for water, olive oil or dish soap.

Grab Mom some sweet treats directly from the baker, a bouquet of fresh cut flowers or a rare single stem rose.

Planting a kitchen garden? You'll only have a few more weeks to pick up vegetable plants or herbs and get them planted in the ground.
