Brentwood is getting a farmers market
June 6, 2018
Brentwood is getting its own farmers market.
The Brentwood Farmer’s Market is kicking off its first season on Thursday at the CityPark mixed use community at 278 Franklin Road.
The market will be open every Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m. through August 30.
CityPark is located at the intersection of Franklin Road and Executive Center Drive. The market will be held on the green space in front of Mooreland Mansion.
It will be a “producer only” market, meaning all items sold must be grown or made by the merchant.
But there are a few exceptions: The Peach Truck, which sells Georgia-grown peaches and pecans, and Virgin Bay Seafood, which sells wild-caught Alaskan seafood, said Kristin Cales, marketing director for Boyle Investment Company.
The owners of both those businesses are Williamson County natives, Cales said.
Boyle is sponsoring the market. It will be managed by Kasi Haire, who also runs the Berry Farms and Nolensville farmer’s markets.
