Dear Editor,
The 2024 season of the La Grange Farmers’ Market and Artisans begins this Saturday, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
The market is proud to present over 50 vendors this year, with a wide range of local farmers, bakers and artisans. The market is held at La Grange Springs Park, located at 110 South Second St.
The market manager, board members and vendors have been working hard on improvements for this year. An information booth will be located at the entrance to the pavilion. Special events have been planned, and focused efforts will be made on education and communication this year. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
The La Grange Farmer’s Market and Artisans is a Kentucky Proud Market. All produce is grown locally, and vendors are not allowed to supplement with products from produce terminals or auctions. As a result, produce is only available when in season. Currently, you can expect to see asparagus, greens, lettuce, green onions, radishes and other early spring crops.
Our vendors are eager to share information about their businesses and processes, so please take a few minutes to chat with them if you have any questions or concerns. Lots of entertaining stories and mishaps occur behind the scenes on the farm and in running a small business, so you might walk away with a few chuckles as well.
Visit lagrangefarmersmarket.com for produce availability, vendor contact information and a map of the market layout. Please follow us at facebook.com/lagrangefarmersmkt for weekly updates and vendor spotlights.
We hope to see you on Saturday. Bring your family, friends and your pups ... all are welcome.
The sense of community at the market is refreshing and a great way to start the weekend.
Jennifer Taylor (on behalf of the La Grange Farmers’ Market and Artisans)
