Collierville defines a “Farmers Market” as “a designated area on public or private property where, on designated days and times, growers and producers, often paying booth rental fees, sell certain locally-grown agricultural products directly to the public from open or semi-open facilities” per §151.003 of the Zoning Ordinance.  Anyone interested establishing a farmers market should contact the Planning Division to apply for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Allow sixty (60) days or more for the processing of a CUP application for a farmers market, as two public meetings (Planning Commission and Board of Mayor and Aldermen) are applicable. During the CUP review, the Town will make sure that the market will meet the definition of a farmers market per §151.003 of the Zoning Ordinance and will comply with special conditions and specific standards for Farmers Markets as established in §151.024(M). Nonrefundable review fees apply.

Town Square Produce Permits, which are administered by the Town’s Development Department to individuals for the limited sale of locally-grown agricultural products on the south Side of the Square, are separate from farmers markets.

Collierville has only granted a CUP to one farmers market to date as of May 2011, which is the Collierville Farmers Market (CFM). CFM is not formally affiliated with the Town of Collierville and is administered by volunteers. Vendors that want to participate in the CFM should contact the organization directly at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
