Frequently asked questions
What's in season right now in Tennessee?
It changes week to week — the "at peak now" strip above reads today's date, so it never goes stale. For the classics: strawberries peak early May through late May; sweet corn peak early July through late July; apples peak mid-August through late September.
When does the market season start in Tennessee?
The first local crops (spinach) show up around mid-March, and the boards fill from there.
Where can I go u-pick in Tennessee?
We chart timing, not farm listings — but the u-pick planner will tell you when any crop is worth the drive in Tennessee, and any search for "u-pick near me" works better once you know the week to aim for.
