Farmer’s Markets of NKY – May 2016

Farmers markets are great for small farm producers, who are unable to participate or compete effectively in larger wholesale channels. As consumers learn to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into their diet, the farmers market will increase the probability of repeat sales.

These markets offer quality products and on-farm experiences. They include greenhouses, garden centers, agriculture tourism, festivals, pick-your-own, wholesale, roadside stands, community supported agriculture, and farmers markets. These places are becoming destinations that provide fun for the whole family. Local farmers markets allow farmers additional economic profits while strengthening community and farm-to-table concepts.
