Additional Information: The Fresh Mess Farmers' Market is getting ready for the upcoming season, June 5th until October 2nd, 2025. The farmers market takes place every Thursday afternoon from 3 until 6PM at Harton Park in downtown Monteagle. Stop in to buy, sell, or barter fresh produce, crafts, clothing, jams, candles, boutique goods, flowers, and other creative products from local artisans. Watch Facebook for information on weekly vendors and rain day calls. This is the fourth year that Fresh Mess will be operating. The weekly market was started as a way to support local gardeners and craftsmakers and has grown into a community gathering spot in a central, convenient, and visible location where visitors can eat, barter, and enjoy the Harton Park playground. Fresh Mess does not charge vendors to set up a booth, though vendors are asked to apply by all applicable laws and food safety regulations. Food Trucks vary from week to week.
