Farmers Markets near Shelbyville, KY

Shelby County Farmers Market has run out of Stargazer Plaza on Main Street since 2003, open Saturdays from 8am to noon, year-round rather than the seasonal schedule most Kentucky markets keep. Vendors sell produce, flowers, eggs, poultry, beef, pork, turkey, honey, baked goods, roasted coffee, and soap, plus woodcrafts and art. The market posts a monthly vendor newsletter and offers service in Spanish, reflecting Shelbyville's mix of longtime growers and newer arrivals.
