One of our blessings living in the Tennessee Valley is a bouquet of summer flowers. Our flowers are truly a treat for all the senses, with multiple deliveries a week from local growers Sarah’s Spice & Posies, Sugarfoot Flower Farm, and Little Mountain Flower Farm.

There are many benefits to buying local flowers. They are harvested at the peak of freshness, and with a smaller environmental footprint, they really do smell sweeter than imports. Flower bouquets reduce stress are the best kind of gift for a friend, spouse, or even yourself (#selfcare). You can also enjoy the fact that while you are helping yourself to local bouquets you are helping support local farmers, the local economy, and local bees🐝!

With flowers these fresh, who needs an excuse to celebrate? Treat yourself while they last!

Have you ever wondered why we are named Three Rivers Market?

Most folks are familiar with the Tennessee River which flows through downtown Knoxville southward to Chattanooga and beyond. What you might not know is that the Tennessee is formed by the Holston and French Broad Rivers which flow from the Southern Appalachian Mountains and meet on Knoxville’s eastern edge.

Our name comes from the confluence of these three rivers. Like the rivers for which we are named, Three Rivers Market nourishes not only our immediate community but also our bio-region of the Southern Appalachians and our whole Southeastern Region.

To commemorate this regional heritage, we have a stylish new tote bag featuring a topographic map of our three rivers coming together. Show off your Three Rivers Market pride wherever you go while reducing your environmental footprint with this unforgettable reusable bag!
