Orange County HomeGrown Farmers Market - Valley Market

Orange County HomeGrown traces its roots to 2002, when residents created a space connecting local family-owned farms and businesses with people in the community, and the nonprofit still frames that work around small-town neighborly values alongside the county’s natural, cultural, and recreational assets. In French Lick, the Valley Market carries that mission into a Saturday market centered on local growers, food producers, and makers from around Orange County. The result is a market where produce, baked goods, plants, woodcraft, soap, wine, and farm products all sit within the same local network rather than in separate specialty stops.

What you'll find there

The Valley Market’s vendor mix leans wide rather than narrow: multiple produce growers appear alongside bakers, plant sellers, livestock vendors, woodworkers, fiber artists, and craft tables from named local businesses and families. That breadth makes this a practical stop for both staple groceries and handmade goods in one pass.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, so that policy may shape your plans before you head to West Highway 56 in French Lick. The market runs on Saturday mornings from 8 AM to 12 PM during the May-to-October season, making it a morning stop rather than an all-day browse. Restrooms are not available on-site. The market is located on West Highway 56, which is the key detail to have ready if you are navigating directly to the Valley Market location in town. If you want the fullest vendor selection, the vendor lineup spans produce, baked goods, plants, crafts, and meat, so arriving with a flexible shopping list makes sense here.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Valley Market, an important detail if you’re planning a grocery-focused trip for produce and other eligible foods. The market also lists its payment methods clearly, which helps set expectations before you arrive. Since the vendor mix includes both food and craft sellers, eligibility will matter on a stall-by-stall basis even when SNAP is available at the market.
