Who doesn’t love a good farmers market? You’ll find fresh local produce, locally made arts and crafts and usually something quirky to bring home with you. And luckily for us, the Huntsville area has several farmers markets you can visit this spring and summer.

Here are 5 of my favorites:

Greene Street Market

327234825 1601627787024858 2382627638754888733 n — The Greene Street Market opens in May, and we cannot wait! (Greene Street Market via Facebook)

One of my favorite farmers markets is the Greene Street Market at Church of the Nativity. Their first market will take place May 18 this year and runs through September 29. I like this one also because it is one of the only farmers markets that takes place during the week (Thursday afternoons).

Where: 208 Eustis Ave SE, Huntsville, AL 35801
When: Every Thursday, 4PM-sundown, May-September

Madison City Farmers Market

The Madison City Farmers Market just opened for the spring and summer on April 8, and I unfortunately missed the first two weekends. This market became one of my go-to’s over the summer, as it is one of the larger and more diverse markets in the area.

Where: 1088 Hughes Rd, Madison, AL 35758
When: Saturdays, 8AM-12PM

Providence Farmers Market

There’s a good bit of variety at the Providence Farmers Market, which opened April 1 this year. From fresh produce to handmade goods and trinkets to bath products and jewelry, there’s a little something for everyone at this market!

Where: Town Center Dr NW, Huntsville, AL 35806
When: Saturdays, 8AM-12PM, April-November

The Market at MidCity

One of the best aspects of the Market at MidCity is that it takes place on Sundays, as opposed to Saturdays when most farmers markets take place. This means I can go to multiple markets in a weekend! The Market at MidCity is tons fun, too, with live music and all kinds of cool vendors.

Where: 5909 University Dr NW, Huntsville, AL 35805
When: Every Sunday, 1-5PM

S&J Produce Farms

337815272 539763978337774 1545252817970563097 n — S&J Produce Farms in Madison is smaller, but they have everything you need. (S&J Produce Farms via Facebook)

S&J Produce Farms is not a giant outdoor marketplace. Rather, it is smaller, mostly indoors and more select. In addition to fresh local produce, this Madison market also has local honey, Amish jellies and a field of zinnias and sunflowers that you can pick and purchase by the stem.

Where: 8126 Hwy 72 W, Madison, AL 35758
When: Sunday 9AM-4PM; Monday-Saturday 8:30AM-6PM
