Montevallo Farmers' Market
Award-winning weekly market every Monday afternoon featuring fresh produce, baked goods, handmade soaps, honey, jams, live music, and children's activities.
The Montevallo Farmers’ Market has been a community institution since 2010, running every Monday afternoon from June through October behind First Baptist Church on Main Street. Named Shelby Living’s Best Farmers’ Market for multiple consecutive years, the market has become a defining feature of the Montevallo community calendar.
What You’ll Find
The market brings together local farmers, bakers, artisans, and producers for a Monday afternoon gathering that is part shopping and part social event:
- Fresh produce — seasonal vegetables, fruits, and herbs from local farms
- Baked goods — fresh bread, pies, muffins, and pastries
- Handmade soaps and body care products
- Local honey — from area beekeepers
- Jams and preserves — made from locally grown fruits
- Handcrafted artisan goods — jewelry, pottery, and handmade gifts
- Live music — performances throughout each market day
- Children’s activities — family-friendly programming
Themed Days
Throughout the season, the market features themed Mondays with special vendors, demonstrations, or activities tied to seasonal events and community highlights.
A Community Gathering
The market’s Monday schedule means it draws a consistent crowd of after-work shoppers, university community members, and families making it a weekly routine. The atmosphere is relaxed and social — a genuine community gathering point rather than simply a retail transaction.
Season
The market runs Monday afternoons from June through October, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Check the Montevallo Chamber of Commerce website for the exact opening and closing dates each season.
