A Saturday morning institution will launch its 2022 season on May 7 when the State Street Farmer’s Market returns to Bristol , Tennessee’s Downtown Center , offering seedlings , early season produce , handmade crafts , locally raised meats , and fresh baked goods .
   “There’s always great excitement on opening day and we’re especially pleased to make our return to Downtown Center for this year’s Saturday markets , ” said Recreation Superintendent Mike Music , who oversees the market . “Our market provides the perfect opportunity to support the local farming community and take home the freshest products available . ”
   Saturday’s markets were moved to the Municipal Building ( City Hall ) parking lot in recent years to provide additional space for social distancing , but will return this year to the familiar location at 810 State Street in the heart of Bristol’s downtown . In addition to Saturday markets , which are open from 8 a . m . to noon through October , this location will host Wednesday afternoon markets , from 2 to 6 p . m . , beginning July 6 .
   For those new to the market , Musick suggests:
   Dress for the weather . The market is open , rain or shine .
   Bring cash . Small bills are appreciated and SNAP/EBT cards are also accepted .
   Bring a cooler or insulated shopping bag to keep temperature - sensitive items safe .
   Take time to ask questions and develop relationships with vendors . They’re a great source of information about the items available and can help shoppers plan ahead for fruits , vegetables and other products that will be available later in the season .
   Take pride in the fact that every purchase at the State Street Farmer’s Market is supporting the local economy and the region’s farmers .
