Community Farmers Market Bowling Green

Kentuckians for the Commonwealth is one of the organizations backing Community Farmers Market Bowling Green, a year-round, producer-only market at 2319 Nashville Road near WKU South Campus and the Knicely Conference Center. That mix of steady schedule and named local partnerships gives the market a clear shape: food and farm goods sold directly by the people producing them, with access programs built into regular market days. With Saturday morning and Tuesday afternoon hours, it serves both weekly stock-up trips and midweek stops in Bowling Green.

Why it matters locally

Producer-only is the defining local commitment here: Community Farmers Market identifies itself as a year-round, producer-only farmers market in Bowling Green. That means the market is organized around growers, makers, and food producers selling their own work, from farm produce and meats to prepared foods and handmade goods.

The market also ties local food shopping to local support systems. Kentuckians for the Commonwealth is listed as a collaborator supporting the market. The market participates in the Kentucky Double Dollars Program, doubling WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program vouchers, Senior Farmers Market Nutrition vouchers, and SNAP/EBT benefits each market day, while also doubling WKU Big Red Dollars up to $5 each market and P-EBT benefits up to $20 each market day.
