Jonesborough Locally Grown (JLG) was awarded a $200,926.44 Project Grant from the US Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marketing Service under the Farmers Market and Local Food Promotion Program (FMLFPP). JLG operates two producer-only markets, Boone Street Market and Jonesborough Farmers Market, that source primarily from within 100 miles of Jonesborough, Tennessee. The markets support over 100 vendors, many of whom are small or beginning farmers.

This Project Grant will allow JLG to build on marketing initiatives from a previous FMLFPP award and add an online ordering component. Funding will support sampling events, advertising, and the development of online ordering to increase sales at the two markets by 15% by the end of the three-year project period. Rising costs threaten the long-term financial stability of the markets and viability of the farmers that rely on them; increased sales through expanded marketing and online ordering are intended to maintain the markets' ability to serve vendors through their low-fee structure.
