The Birmingham Farmers Market is a farmers market located on property owned and managed by the Jefferson County Truck Growers Association at 344 Finley Avenue West in Birmingham's Acipco-Finley neighborhood.

The market was founded by brothers Milton and Frank House and Bob Wright, operating as the Farm House Produce Company in 1957. Milton bought out his brothers early on and ran the operation with his son Mark until turning it over to him. Mark sold the company to his cousin DeWayne House in 2001.
