Farmers Markets near Somerville, AL

DECATUR

The Church of the Good Shepherd, Episcopal, sponsors this free-to-vend market on Monday afternoons in fall at its Spring Avenue location in Decatur. Tables run to pumpkins and gourds alongside vegetables, honey, goat cheese, baked goods, and handmade woodwork and pottery. Because there's no vendor fee, it draws home producers who don't sell at the bigger markets downtown.

HUNTSVILLE

Set up next to the railroad tracks at Latham United Methodist Church on Weatherly Road, this is the only state-certified market inside Huntsville city limits. Tuesdays from 3 to 6 p.m., May through September, bring fresh fruit, produce, meat, eggs, cheese, bakery goods, and roasted coffee and tea to South Huntsville.

Decatur

The Morgan County/Decatur Farmers Market runs Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 7 a.m. until 1 p.m. or until vendors sell out, whichever comes first. The market's original 1984 building on 1st Avenue SE was torn down in January 2024 and rebuilt on the same lot. Local produce, baked goods, and crafts fill the stalls most mornings in season.

MADISON

Madison City Farmers Market started in 2007 as the area's original producer-only market, meaning everything sold is grown or made by the vendor standing behind the table, not resold. It runs Saturday mornings from mid-April through early November on a grassy, partly shaded lot on Hughes Road, with produce, eggs, meat, honey, and baked goods from local farms.

Huntsville

Bailey Cove Farmers' Market sets up Saturdays, 8 a.m. to noon, April through early September, on the grounds of St. Thomas Episcopal Church in southeast Huntsville. Vendors sell produce, meats, eggs, baked goods, honey, flowers, pickles, coffee, and dog treats. Call (256) 880-0247 for details.

Arab

Arab Farmers Market runs April through November at 307 N. Main Street, open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Vendors sell baked goods, cheese, eggs, vegetables, honey, jams, and plants. Call (256) 586-3866 or email [email protected] for vendor information.

Huntsville

Huntsville

Held every Wednesday, 4 to 7 p.m., on Meadow Drive, this cash-only market is organized by the Terry Heights and Hillendale Organization as part of a summer-long push to get fresh produce into a neighborhood that needs better access to it. It's a community food-access project first and a shopping stop second — bring cash, since cards aren't an option here.

Huntsville

Huntsville Hospital hosts this market at the Plaza Resource Center tram station on Governors Drive, open Thursday mornings, 7:30 to 11:30 a.m., April through October. It's cash-and-check only, so plan ahead before loading up on fresh produce, artisan bread, gourmet slaw, cheese, jams, local honey, and coffee.

Huntsville

Huntsville Food & Farm Hub isn't a market stall — it's an online order window that bundles products from more than 30 north Alabama producers into one delivery. Shop Thursday through Sunday, then pick up Tuesdays or get it delivered; the list runs from grass-fed beef and pasture-raised eggs to sourdough, goat cheese, and honey. Producers set their own prices and keep 95% of the sale, which is the model's whole pitch against typical grocery markups.

New Hope

Big D's Curb Market sits on Highway 431 South in New Hope, in the Tennessee Valley area of northeast Alabama, and carries USDA-certified organic products alongside its regular produce stand. Specific hours weren't confirmed online — call ahead or check in person for what's currently in stock.

Athens

Athens Farmers' Market sets up at the Green Street pavilion, with Saturday hours 8 a.m. to noon from June through September and Tuesday hours 3 to 6 p.m. from May through August. It's a state-certified market with produce, baked goods, music, and crafts. Contact Main Street Athens at (256) 232-9040 or [email protected].

Athens

The Limestone County Farmers Market runs Tuesdays and Fridays from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through November, under a covered, open-air facility in downtown Athens. It's one of the longer-running county markets in the Tennessee Valley, drawing growers from the area's row-crop and produce farms. Cash, card, and SNAP/WIC benefits are accepted.

GUNTERSVILLE

Three market days a week keep this Sunset Drive market busy from April through November: Tuesday and Saturday mornings, 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., plus Thursday afternoons, 2 to 6 p.m. Vendors bring local fruit and vegetables, artisan bread, preserves, canned goods, fried pies, and homemade ice cream, and the market takes part in the Senior Farmers' Market Nutrition Program.
