The market was founded in 2009 by community volunteers. The Collierville Farmers Market continues to operate entirely by volunteers who believe local markets build community. "CFM" operates for the benefit of Collierville, its citizens, local farmers, and the local community. In addition, the market's mission is to provide a reliable source of fresh, locally-grown fruits and vegetables and related agricultural products and to educate the public about relevant topics including nutrition and the benefits of buying locally.

Getting involved with the farmers market is easy! You can become a volunteer, become a vendor, and/or support the market by becoming a Friend of the Market sponsor. Request a volunteer application at www.colliervillefarmersmarket.org
