Tractor Supply hosting national farmers market

Tractor Supply will host a nationwide farmers market on Aug. 19 in more than 2,100 communities.

The farm and ranch retailer said the event will showcase the talent and products of local farmers, growers, craft makers, artisans, and other producers. 

The free event takes place outside Tractor Supply stores with local vendors selling products like fresh fruit and vegetables, arts and crafts, accessories, specialty food and drink, and more.

This is the third year Floyd Vanderford, owner of Floyd’s Hobby Shop, will sell his custom wood pieces at the farmers market held by the Jasper, Georgia Tractor Supply store.

“I appreciate the way the Tractor Supply Farmers Market showcases the many talented people with creative ideas and skills in the community,” said Vanderford.

Mayra Durante of Zip Paw will be at the Madawaska, Maine Tractor Supply Farmers Market for the second year in a row, selling unique and customizable dog accessories.

“It was great to see all of the local businesses gathered at Tractor Supply, and eye-opening to see the wide variety of products and services that are available in the community, Drante said, regarding her previous participation at the market.

Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, the retailer operates 2,181 stores in 49 states, including  81 stores acquired from Orscheln Farm and Home in 2022 that will be rebranded to Tractor Supply by the end of 2023. Tractor Supply also operates 192 Petsense by Tractor Supply stores in 23 states.
