Kingsport Farmers Market: Saturdays with a Chef
An event every week that begins at 9:00 am on Saturday, repeating until June 29, 2024
Popular cooking series at Kingsport Farmers Market highlights local chefs
Saturdays with the Chef makes its return to the Kingsport Farmers Market on June 1. Discover how to take advantage of those peak season produce items with creative tips and new recipes from local chefs.
“We’re excited to bring in the summer season with this wonderful program,” said Market Manager Kristie Leonard. “The Kingsport Farmers Market is a great place to shop, but we also strive to be a place where people can learn something new too.”
Saturdays with the Chef is a free cooking demo series showcasing local chefs and their recipes using produce available at the Kingsport Farmers Market. Free samples of the recipes will be available at each demo.
The series takes place every Saturday morning at 9 a.m. in June at the Kingsport Farmers Market.
Come sample cooking from featured chefs from local businesses, then buy the ingredients to make it at home while you’re at the market. Purchasing from local farmers not only boosts the local economy, but also is a great way to provide healthy and fresh food for you and your family.
The series is sponsored by Food City, Healthy Kingsport and the City of Kingsport.

Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 55,400) is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the eastern United States. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,750-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.” For more information, please visit www.kingsporttn.gov.
