Stones River Market
Murfreesboro, TN

Market News

Welcome back to another week of locally grown and made products. Last week was another interesting week of weather and fortunately, the Market was not drastically affected. I hope everyone made it safely through the snow.

I started Stones River Market in 2008 with just a handful of vendors. Farmers and producers have come and gone through the years. Progressively we have grown to where we are today and there have been many changes along the way.

All this time I have had a full-time job in Nashville. Now that I have “retired,” I am busier than before. With one of my current jobs, I have the opportunity to travel to places I have never been and can no longer give the Market the attention it needs.

Effective immediately, management of Stones River Market is being transferred to Tracey Burks and Ashleigh Newnes. They have been a part of the Market for several years as Botanical Harmony. As I have been training Tracey and Ashleigh these last couple of weeks, they have been focused on making the transfer as smooth as possible for both the vendors and our customers. They bring with them some new ideas for expanding our vendor base and I am excited to see the potential growth for Stones River Market.

You will still see me at the Market since I will continue to grow produce and flowers. I will also be assisting Tracey and Ashleigh as needed as we move forward. Many of you have been with the Market a long time and I consider you friends not just customers. Please give Tracey and Ashleigh the same support that you have given me all these years.

Sincerely,

John
