McKenzie, Tenn.–The recent rains have helped local produce and the McKenzie Farmers Market still has okra, peas, beans, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, delicious melons and more. If you don’t feel like making your own pickles, jams, and jellies, we have you covered. Delicious bread and butter pickles, dill pickles, hot pickles and sweet pickles are available in addition to a variety of relishes.
They also have farm fresh eggs, and Baker Birds is taking orders for their fresh poultry. Once you try a Baker Bird, it’s hard to go back to anything else. Shoppers have their choice of delicious breads, pies, rolls, cookies, tamales, and all natural cleaning products, candles and more.
