Market News: Last market in September – where did September go, seem that it has zoomed by us! Fall is definately in the air and several ‘live’ markets are closing BUT NOT US! Stones River Locally Grown Market is a year-round market with great ‘Growers’! Everyone that sells through the market is called a ‘Grower’, they either grow it, make it or produce it and it is local, within a 30 mile radius of Murfreesboro! Some of our Growers only sell a few items and others have several things to select from. We have a great assortment of items to offer our customers, from Art to Vegetables. Please share our news with your family and friends.
