A “Growers Only” Market
in historic Berea, KY.
What do we have to offer?
The Berea Farmers' Market is a year-round market that provides you with fresh and local fruits, veggies, plants, eggs, meats and more! We are a "growers only" market, which means if a farmer sells it, he or she raised it!
In addition to our farmers’ fresh goodies we also have value added and local artisan vendors. Our value added vendors offer prepared foods like breads, desserts, kombucha tea, coffee beans, and other items. Finally our local artisans make our market complete by selling their uniquely crafted artwork and handmade items like soap, jewelry, sewed items (like aprons and bags), and so much more.

If you are visiting our website I hope you will have time to visit the Berea Farmers Market. We always seem to have a collage of activities going on and love it when the community comes out to see the farmers and artisans. The Berea Farmers Market captures the very best particulars of being an authentic “Grassroots Destination”. We are excited that our vendors have the Chestnut Street Pavilion to market their homegrown and handmade goods. There is a deep dedication and appreciation for the staff and representatives of the organization to ensure that we personally know each vendor before and after they apply to participate in the market. Those of you who venture into the Pavilion, will be met with a colorful array of the area’s greatest growers and producer’s fresh fruits and vegetables. Not to mention, many other choices like native flowers, home brewed drinks and coffees, and a stunning collections of hand-crafted goods from our artisans. We are glad that we can call ourselves “A Producer Only Market”. As we make our way into our 50th year we value our long timers who have dedicated their time, wisdom, and knowledge to making our market a success. We strive to carry out these values and traditions of the Berea Farmers Market and will continue the commitment for years to come. I want to thank you in advance for shopping local, along with supporting the farmers and our community.
Sincerely,
Rene’ Poitra-Riley
Berea Farmers Market President
