Über diesen Titel

A farmers market can change a city. Josh England, who runs Lexington's 50-year-old member-owned market, walks us through how the city shifted from fearing "messy" agriculture to embracing a vibrant Saturday scene where coffee, flowers, and conversation sit beside corn, beans, and tomatoes. He walks us through the real variables shaping your shopping list, hyper-local weather, hoop houses extending the season, and the dance between price and supply. Plus, a fun looks at "veggie trends" like kale fatigue and cabbage's comeback, with practical moves to keep costs low and flavor high.

We also explore the market's strategic pivots: the move to the Warehouse Block created a welcoming weekday hub, while the Cold Brew Coffee Festival turned a late-August slump into thousands of visitors and protected farm income. As Lexington grows, Josh is eyeing winter options, expanded weekday vendors, and possible satellite markets, while partnerships with Seedleaf and FoodChain help new growers and kids connect with seasonal food.
