Memphis Farmers Market Dinner Tour

Join all your friends and Executive Chef Chris Windsor featuring local products from the Memphis Farmers Market including Neola Farms, Whitton Farms and Ghost River Brewery on the Rooftop of The Madison Hotel. Featuring live music by MFM musicians Maria Spence and Alan Rankin.

One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday morning, especially since I live REAL close to it, is to go to the farmers market. The Farmers Market has been growing and growing over the years and has recently featured a TV Chef from the show "Lidia's Italy" who signed books a few weeks ago. I wasn't familiar with her, but many were and stood in line to get her book autographed and to meet her.



The market has a nice chalkboard now that details what's available, upcoming events, etc.


My friend Kitty is one of the great dog sitters you'll find at the market. If you need a dog sitter while shopping, stop by the tent and let Kitty and the other sitters take care of your dog. You'll also find the Hooper Troopers, a group of girls who demonstrate and teach you how to hula hoop with style!


There's also various workshops so you can learn about different things. During BBQFest weekend, my friend Erin had a table set up so you could learn about Meat, Beans, portion control and even how to make your own spices! I must say, by the 4th day of BBQFest, all I really wanted was veggies anyway.
