From Eric Poland’s series of historical Birmingham Alabama landmarks. The image shows a sign for the Jefferson County Truck Growers Association Farmers Market, also known as the Alabama Farmers Market. This market is located in Birmingham, Alabama, and has been a staple in the community for over 100 years. Here are some key details about the market: History: The Jefferson County Truck Growers Association was founded in 1921 by 18 produce growers in Jefferson County to sell their produce.

It is the largest market in Alabama, housing over 500 farmers and vendors. Operation: The market is open 24/7 and 365 days a year, offering fresh produce and a family-oriented environment.
