London-Laurel County Farmer's Market
2020 Farmers Market Season
Our Farmers Market has decided to open early for the 2020 season. The market officially opened on Saturday, April 4, to allow farmers to start selling whatever locally grown foods they have ready. Last Saturday's market included beef and pork meat, and one local producer had several garden plants (cabbage, cauliflower, brussels sprouts and broccoli) ready to add to your own backyard garden.
Market hours are 9 AM to 1:30 PM, or while supplies last. The vendors will set up based on their product availability. Product availability is posted on Saturday mornings on the Farmer's Market's Facebook page.
Please see our events pages here and on our Facebook page for Laurel County Extension Events held at the London Laurel Farmers Market throughout the season.
The market is located at the corner of Main and Dixie Streets in London.
If you have any questions, please call the Laurel County Extension Office at 864-4167.

Farmers Market Feast 2019
The London - Laurel County Farmer's Market sponsored its third annual Farmers Market Feast to benefit God's Pantry Food Bank on August 29, 2019. Local farmers donated fresh locally grown vegetables which were prepared "trash can boil" style by the Laurel County Cattlemen. $4500 in proceeds went toward God's Pantry Food Bank to provide food for hungry folks across Kentucky.

All produce sold at the market is locally grown and the selection will depend on the season. For a quick reference guide to seasonal vegetables, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture has developed a Kentucky Proud Produce Availablility chart.
