OUR
HISTORY
The
Lexington Farmers' Market is a cooperative run
by a board of directors elected by the membership.
It was established in 1975 as the Farm and Garden
Market Cooperative Association. We are not part
of nor are we supported by the Lexington Fayette
Urban County Government or any other entity.
We pay all our own expenses including, insurance,
advertising and portable toilets. We have the
market on leased land two days per week and
on a downtown street on Saturday.
The Lexington Farmers' Market, as we are known
to our customers, has developed into a four
day per week market during the season. The Lexington
Fayette Urban County Government has enacted
ordinances that have allowed the market to operate
and sell the products it sells.
We
have 65+ paid members at this time. Many of these
farmers come to the market only during the season
for their specialty, such as sweet corn or tomatoes
and others come year round with value added or
an expanded product line.
Our normal season is mid-April until late November. |
