Franklin Farmers Market
The growers' market that ran at The Factory for almost 24 years moved on January 3, 2026 to the campus of Franklin First United Methodist Church, where Franklin Road meets Mack Hatcher Parkway. Every vendor makes, bakes, raises or grows what they sell, and it opens every Saturday morning of the year.
