NEW LOCATION FOR 2026: LOUMED Commons (316 E Chestnut St)
With many unique local vendors and food trucks, you'll find the finest in farm-fresh products, including locally grown produce, honey, jams, pickles, granola, baked goods, desserts, crafts, grab-and-go lunch items, and more. Cash, debit cards, SNAP benefits, and Senior Vouchers accepted! Open rain or shine, lunch-time on Thursdays, June - September. The market is operated by UofL's School of Public Health and Information Sciences in partnership with Catholic Charities’ Common Earth Gardens. The market is designed to increase access to fresh healthy food and offers several programs:
-
SNAP Double Dollars - This program makes healthy food more affordable for individuals who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Using SNAP Double Dollars is simple. Customers visit the GSFM information booth, decide how much they want to spend, and swipe their SNAP cards. The market then matches this amount and gives them wooden tokens to spend directly with GSFM vendors. We match spending by the SNAP customer up to $20 per week. Customers can use the tokens to purchase any food for the household, such as fruits, vegetables, meat, breads, canned foods, and more.
>> On the first Thursday of each month, the GSFM will TRIPLE SNAP Dollars. - FreshRx -- The GSFM offers the FreshRx program in partnership with the Community Farm Alliance. The program serves expectant moms who receive Medicaid. After signing up, FreshRx participants get $26 in tokens each week to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables from GSFM vendors.
- Passport to Produce -- Qualified Medicaid recipients can receive complimentary fresh food and produce directly at the market. Inquire at the info booth or email Mateo Barnett at mbarnett@archlou.org.
- Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SrFMNP) -- Seniors (60+) who qualify are provided with $50 loaded onto a debit card to purchase fresh, unprocessed, locally grown fruits, honey, vegetables and herbs at approved farmers markets. Individuals can sign up for these benefits at Louisville's Neighborhood Places, the L&N Building on Broadway, and at the Nulu/Phoenix Hill Farmers Market. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture serves as the lead agency for SrFMNP. The GSFM also has double dollar vouchers for the SrFMNP.
- Ride Smart, Get Rewarded - Earn $2 in weekly Market Tokens for Biking or Riding TARC to the market.
