Come inside to the Lexington Farmers Market at the Depot this Saturday

It may be dreary outside, but Saturday will be much better and something to look forward to at the Lexington Farmers Market as we all brave the rain and storms.

If you have been following the Lexington Farmers Market on Facebook or Instagram, you have seen that it's National Farmers Market Week,and we've been celebrating with features on our market members. Farmers markets make such an important difference in our community and food system,and the more you support Farmers markets, the more they can give back. Stop by and show your support for our amazing vendors this weekend. Also, remember to take pictures of what you buy at the farmers market and how you use it and tag us, including the hashtag #LoveMyMarket!.We want to see your favorite purchases and yummy recipes.

From produce, baked goods, eggs, dairy, honey,and meats (including delicious local wagyu beef), to wine, mead, flowers, and much more. The Lexington Farmers Market has just about anything your heart could desire at this weekend's market.
