Our producer-only market represents approximately 5,000 acres of regional farms and dozens of local food manufacturers. Fresh on Sundays you’ll find an abundance of fresh fruits, herbs, flowers and garden-ripened vegetables; gourmet beef, chicken, sausage and pork, lamb, and goat; cheeses, artisan breads, honey, fresh-roasted coffee, small-batch jellies, salsas, candies, fudge, cakes and more."
"Handmade world-class artistry at small town prices – Our artists are the ones you’ll meet and buy from directly at Chattanooga Market. They’ll chat with you about their craft and educate you on the pieces you buy. Some of the treasures you’ll find will be hand-blown glass jewelry; original photography; paintings on canvas; wood carved toys and furniture; hand-dyed and woven textiles; custom clothing for children and women; homemade candles; luxurious lotions, soaps and beauty products; sculptures made from recycled materials; and the list goes on and on…"

At 10 years old Jack was inspired by a book to shave his head in support of children with cancer. The book is Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick. To view Jordan's website, click here. In Jack's third year he is partnering with Children's Hospital Foundation to help local kids!
Join Jack on Sunday, June 26, 2011 for a day full of fun and helping the pediatric oncology patients of the Chattanooga region. All funds raised at this event will go to Children’s Hospital Foundation to support Children’s Hospital’s pediatric oncology care.
Get started by signing up today at www.jackschattanoggins.org and help us get one shavee closer to reaching our goal of $20,000.
Shavee's choose to shave their heads in solidarity with the children who typically lose their hair during treatment. In return, shavees will receive pledges of financial support from their friends and family and in turn their generous donations will help Children's Hospital Foundation ensure pediatric oncology patients receive the highest standard of care.
