Fairfield to hold first Farmer’s Market on April 4th

The City of Fairfield is holding its first ever Farmer’s Market at the Fairfield Memorial Park Plaza on Saturday, April 4 from 9AM to 1PM.

City Councilor Courtney Turner told Bham Now that the city hopes the market will energize downtown:

“We want to attract businesses and attract new energy to the city. We want the market to bring vibrancy back to the community and show off Fairfield.”

Flirting with Fairfield and Easter egg hunt

The theme of the Saturday Farmer’s Market is “Flirting with Fairfield.”

As of March 25, 23 vendors have committed to participate. Turner expects up to 30 to take part in the inaugural event, which will also include an Easter egg hunt beginning at 11AM.

“We want people to come ‘Flirt with Fairfield,’ get to know Fairfield and see the opportunity in Fairfield.”

Courtney Turner, Fairfield City Councilor

About Fairfield

Founded in 1910, Fairfield was established as a planned “model industrial city” built by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company to house workers at the local steel mill.

The community has been hit hard economically from the decline of the steel industry over the years.

The new mayor, Herman Carnes, Jr. has initiated a new motto for the town of just over 10,000 residents — “A Clean City is a Safe City.”
