Franklin County Farmers Market

Community Farm Alliance is part of the network around Franklin County Farmers Market, including the market’s support for shoppers using SNAP/EBT, P-EBT, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program funds. In Frankfort, the market centers its in-person shopping at the market pavilion on Holmes Street while also running Thursday online ordering, curbside pickup, and Farm to Frankfort deliveries. The market also identifies itself as featuring products grown and made in Franklin and surrounding counties, with vendors that include farmers, orchardists, beekeepers, and other producers.

Why it matters locally

Products grown and made in Franklin and surrounding counties are the core of Franklin County Farmers Market. The market’s vendor structure is built around farmers and producers from Franklin and adjacent counties, with room for a more distant Kentucky producer only when that vendor offers something not already available at the market. That producer-only emphasis keeps the market closely tied to nearby farms and food businesses.

Local access is also built into how the market operates. Beyond the Tuesday and Saturday in-person markets, the Farm to Frankfort workplace delivery program brings fresh, local farm products to area workplaces on Thursdays. Participating delivery locations include places such as the State Capitol Annex, Paul Sawyier Public Library, Frankfort Regional Medical Center, and the KY Transportation Building.

What you'll find there

The market describes a broad producer mix rather than a short specialty roster, with food coming from growers and makers in Franklin and surrounding counties. Its own overview names staple market categories that shape what regular shoppers can expect to see under the pavilion.

• -Find fresh produce at the market.

The calendar extends beyond the regular market days with a Holiday Market on December 12, Winter Markets every other Saturday from January 10 through April 18, monthly Kids Days on the second Saturday, and a Food Share every other Tuesday evening at 203 Holmes St.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit rules to plan around. In-person shopping during the 2026 regular season happens on Tuesdays from May 5 through September 13 and Saturdays from April 25 through November 22, both from 8:30 a.m. to noon. The market pavilion at 203 Holmes St. is the named site for the market and related programs including Food Share.

If you are shopping outside those in-person windows, the market also offers Thursday morning online ordering, curbside pickup, and Farm to Frankfort deliveries during the regular season. For Food Share, customers can order a share on the website or at the Farmers Market Welcome Table on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to noon.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Franklin County Farmers Market. The market also states that shoppers can use credit and debit cards, Simon House and Food Pantry Vouchers, and WIC and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program funds. SNAP, P-EBT, WIC, and Senior FMNP support is tied to the market’s partnership with Community Farm Alliance, and payment details and SNAP/EBT doubling are handled through the WesBanco Welcome Table.
