Local Food Guide
Partnering with the City of Martin and the University of Tennessee at Martin, a small group of locally minded citizens started a food guide in 2016 to find food that is locally grown, raised and marketed in and around Weakley County.
Now residents throughout the region use the Northwest TN Local Food Guide Magazine to find family farms, farmers markets, locally owned restaurants, food artisans and bakers, farm stores and stands, pumpkin patches, u-pick farms, CSAs, animal products, beekeepers, processors, locally owned plant vendors, and food relief organizations.
The Local Food Guide is published and available at the Martin Farmers Market and the Martin City Hall.
