Peaches are abundant at Swaffords farm at The Nashville Farmers' Market.

Produce, honey, meats, olive oils and seasonings abound in these summer recipes from the Nashville Farmers' Market.

These recipes, developed by Edible Executive Chef Skylar Bush, use produce and ingredients at their peak from the Nashville Farmers' Market in downtown Nashville. Opened every day except Christmas, it highlights the best of our farmer, artisan and independent business community. Visit the indoor Market House for a slice of pizza from Bella Nashville (reputed to be some of the best pizza in town), a local brew at The Picnic Tap,or a bubble tea from Bubble Love, or stroll the outdoor vendors with produce and other artisan crafts.
