TL;DR

Memphis farmers markets run nearly every day of the week: the flagship downtown Memphis Farmers Market (Saturdays, April–October, at Central Station), the year-round Cooper-Young market, Agricenter's Monday–Saturday farm market, Overton Park on Thursday evenings, and the Black Farmers' Market on Tuesdays — plus verified suburb markets in Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown, and DeSoto County. Every day, hour, and season here is checked at the source.

Memphis farmers markets are having a moment — there's one running almost every day of the week somewhere in the metro — but the guides ranking on Google list seasons loosely and miss half the suburbs. So we verified all of it at the source: every market's 2026 days, hours, and season, plus the SNAP double-match programs that make fresh produce cheaper than the grocery store.

Here's the whole metro, city and suburbs. For what's happening beyond the market stalls this week, our events page updates every weekday.

Market mornings, planned by Friday.

In the city

Six real markets inside Memphis — including one that never closes for winter.

  • Memphis Farmers MarketDowntown / South Front

    The flagship since 2006: Saturdays 8am–1pm, April through October, in the pavilion at Central Station (567 S. Front St). Produce, local meat and dairy, flowers, live music, cooking demos — and EBT tokens at the info table.

  • Cooper-Young Community Farmers MarketMidtown

    The year-round one — Saturdays at First Congo (1000 S. Cooper), 8am–noon in summer, 9am–1pm November through March. Its Double Greens program matches SNAP dollars on fruits and vegetables — the best produce deal in the city.

  • Agricenter Farmers MarketEast Memphis

    Not a once-a-week market but a daily one: Monday–Saturday, 8am–5pm, May through October at Agricenter International (7777 Walnut Grove) — running since 1986. The place for a Tuesday tomato run.

  • Overton Park Community Farmers MarketMidtown

    The after-work option: Thursdays 3–7pm, April–October at the East Parkway pavilion — a Rhodes College + Overton Park Conservancy collaboration with 24+ vendors, SNAP accepted with double-match on produce.

  • Black Farmers' Market MemphisSouth Memphis / Soulsville

    In its fifth season: Tuesday afternoons through late September at Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church (491 E. McLemore) — local Black farmers and makers, live music, real community. A program of the Center for Black Southern Culture.

  • South Memphis Farmers MarketMississippi Blvd

    Supplied by Green Leaf Learning Farm, the USDA-certified organic urban farm — runs Thursdays in season at 1400 Mississippi Blvd; check their Facebook for current hours before you go.

The suburbs — verified 2026 dates

No 'seasonal hours, call ahead' here — these dates come from the markets' own pages.

  • Bartlett Station Farmers MarketBartlett

    Saturdays 8am–noon, May 23 through September 26, 2026 — exact dates straight from the market's own site — at W.J. Freeman Park on Bartlett Blvd.

  • Collierville Farmers MarketCollierville

    Thursdays 8am–noon through September 24, behind Collierville United Methodist on West Poplar — with a free yoga class every market morning. More next door in our Collierville guide.

  • Farm Park FridaysGermantown

    Germantown's short-and-sweet series: every other Friday morning, 9am–1pm, at the Bobby Lanier Farm Park — produce, makers, food trucks, and the farm animals next door. The 2026 run wraps July 24, so it's a next-summer plan after that.

  • Olive Branch Farmers MarketOlive Branch, MS

    Saturdays 8am–noon, June through September, in the City Hall lot on Pigeon Roost — 60+ vendors on the DeSoto side. (Our Olive Branch guide has the rest of the town.)

  • Hernando Farmers MarketHernando, MS

    The prettiest setting in the metro: Saturdays 8am–1pm, May through October on Hernando's historic square, with a kids' day the last Saturday of every month.

  • The farm standsMillington

    Not markets but worth knowing: Jones Orchard's farm stores run Monday–Saturday 8am–6pm (peaches are in right now), and Lightfoot Farm Market pops up the first Saturday of each month, March–November.

The honest answers

Which Memphis farmers market is open year-round?

Cooper-Young — Saturdays at First Congo all twelve months, 8am–noon in summer and 9am–1pm in winter. Everything else runs seasonal, roughly April or May through September or October.

Which markets take SNAP/EBT?

The downtown Memphis Farmers Market runs EBT tokens at its info table, and both Cooper-Young (Double Greens) and Overton Park (Double Green$) match SNAP dollars on fruits and vegetables — meaning your produce dollars go roughly twice as far. Check each market's booth for current program details.

What market is open today?

Quick cheat sheet: Monday–Saturday there's always Agricenter (May–Oct). Tuesdays add the Black Farmers' Market, Thursdays add Overton Park, Collierville, and South Memphis, and Saturdays are the big day — downtown, Cooper-Young, Bartlett, Olive Branch, and Hernando all run Saturday mornings.

Which one is best with kids?

Hernando's square market with its monthly kids' day is the charmer, Germantown's Farm Park Fridays come with farm animals next door (while the season lasts), and the downtown market's live music and pavilion setting keep short attention spans fed.
