Who We Are
About the Collierville Farmers Market
Founded in 2009 by community volunteers, the Collierville Farmers Market provides a festive and family friendly gathering spot for the community to shop and linger, complete with live music, kids activities, food samples, painting demonstrations, special events and more. We are a “producer only” market which mean products must be grown or produced locally, and not bought elsewhere and sold as their own. Our farmers are able to offer some of the freshest food around—usually only hours from the field—so customers get the most nutritious and delicious flavors available.
Our outdoor location at Collierville United Methodist Church offers convenient parking just steps away from the market, indoor restrooms and access to a coffee shop. We are the only farmers market in the area that operates on a Thursday morning, giving our customers the chance to stock up early for the weekend.
The CFM has become an important destination for family outings. We believe there is great value in educating children about where their food comes from. We try to make it fun by offering kids activities and scavenger hunts. There’s nothing like seeing the excitement on a child’s face discovering funky shaped pumpkins and rainbow colored produce grown “on a real farm”. We welcome preschool and home school field trips anytime!
We are pet friendly and love seeing our leashed four legged friends!
History
2009 – A small group of Collierville residents were permitted by the Town of Collierville to start a farmers market in a public parking lot just off of the Town Square.
2011 – The Collierville United Methodist Church graciously offered to allow the market the use of its rear parking lot and the CFM was moved to 454 W. Poplar Avenue.
2020 – Covid-19 reminded the community about the importance of shopping outdoors for the healthiest locally grown food and products. We enjoyed a very busy and very successful season.
2023 – The market continues to grow with around 40 of the best growers, bakers, makers and producers in the region.
2024 – The Collierville Chamber of Commerce helped us kick off our 15th Anniversary in May with a special ribbon cutting ceremony. It has been a very exciting year and we are enjoying our busiest and most successful season to date. With the addition of food trucks and many new vendors (over 50 total) we relocated to the very back parking lot of CUMC to allow more room for parking, shopping, picnic tables and vendors. We are proud to be known as Collierville’s favorite gathering spot for families and friends to meet!
