Urban Cookhouse practices its “buy local, eat urban” motto not just in its restaurant but also in its farmers market held at The Summit.
“We want to show support for local farmers,” Market Manager Victoria Underwood said. “Urban Cookhouse even buys from them for the restaurant.”
Underwood said that while the market does get some competition from Saturday farmers markets, it is good for guests and farmers because it is in the evening. The market usually averages 20-25 vendors a week.

Opens May 17

Six years ago, members of Faith Presbyterian Church decided the Oak Mountain community needed a closer farmers market. Since they launched the Valleydale Farmers Market, local farmers have joined others from Chilton and Blount Counties to sell their produce and goods to the community from the church parking lot.
At the market, customers can find a great line up of growers selling fresh produce, honey and jams/jellies. Homemade goods including handmade soaps, handmade art, artisan pasta, woodworks, metalworks, jewelry, clothing and accessories. Pet supplies are also featured.
