Nourish Knoxville

Nourish Knoxville, Inc. is a Knoxville-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization cultivating healthy communities by supporting relationships between local farmers, producers, and the public.

With a decade of dedicated service, Nourish Knoxville has strived to build a more just and equitable food system. Our work includes:

Farmers Market Work - We operate the Market Square Farmers Market (every Wednesday & Saturday, May - November), the New Harvest Farmers' Market (every Thursday, April - September), and the Winter Farmers' Market (every Saturday, December - March). Our producer-only markets provide low-barrier, direct-to-consumer access for more than 150 small businesses, year-round economic opportunities for farmers, and access to locally grown foods for our community.

Food Access Work- Everyone has the right to nourishing, affordable, local food. Our food access programs, including Nourish Kids, Nourish Moves, and Double Up Food Bucks, empower people to make their own food choices. By increasing spending power at farm-direct sites for underserved individuals, we not only address immediate food insecurity but also foster a sense of belonging and community while increasing revenue for farmers.

Regional Food System Work - A thriving local food system means supporting the entire East Tennessee region. Through our East Tennessee Local Food Guide, we promote local farms, farmers markets, and other local food businesses in 31 counties in our region. We partner with more than 15 regional markets to provide nutrition incentive programs like Double Up Food Bucks and Nourish Kids across East Tennessee, improving access to local food for rural residents and increasing economic opportunities for farmers in their own communities.

Food Recovery & Donation Work - Many barriers still exist for marginalized communities to access locally grown foods. By partnering with community-based organizations and leveraging our relationship with local producers, we purchase fresh produce directly from local farmers to donate to underserved individuals where they live, all while generating new income for local farmers and reducing waste.
