UofL's farmers' market is back to at our original location in 2024, in front of the School of Public Health at 400 E. Gray 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 6 - Sept. 26, 2024.
The market is operated by UofL's School of Public Health and Information Sciences in partnership with Catholic Charities’ Common Earth Gardens. Access our collection of delicious recipes for local products.
The market is designed to increase access to fresh healthy food and offers several programs:
- Double Dollar (SNAP) program - 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) (New in 2024) - The WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program helps bring locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables into the homes of WIC participants. Each summer, local health departments issue $30 to eligible WIC recipients for the purchase of locally grown fruits, vegetables, and fresh-cut herbs.
