Bluegrass Farmers Market

Saturday is the last day of the National Farmers Market Week and the perfect way to celebrate homegrown goodness is to shop at the largest local 100% homegrown/produced farmers market...the Bluegrass Farmers' Market! Yup, that's correct, our farmer members are inspected and we can guarantee that they grow, raise, produce, make or bake what is sold at our market! We do not allow any member to go to auctions and resell. We think that is the true meaning of a farmers market! So, we are proud to celebrate National Farmers Market Week with all of you by offering the very best and the freshest available.

Here's a partial list of what you will find this week at one of our markets...
