Fayette County Farmers Market

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the Fayette County Farmers Market, alongside Produce Perks, Senior Nutrition Coupons, WIC Farmers Market Coupons, and ADENA Fresh Food Rx’s. That payment mix stands out because the market’s vendor roster runs from seasonal produce and native plant plugs to pasture-raised meats, apples, sorghum products, breads, pastries, flowers, soaps, and sewing or crochet work. In Washington Court House, the market gives shoppers more than one way to buy directly from producers during its May-to-October season, with Saturday and Wednesday market dates listed in two different city locations.

Why it matters locally

The Fayette County Farmers’ Market Association is organized as a non-profit, nonstock cooperative association of vendor members. Its stated purpose is to provide a place where locally grown agricultural products, locally made baked goods and other cottage foods, and value-added agricultural products are sold directly from producer to consumer. That local emphasis shows up not just in the mission but in the board and vendor overlap: Red Maple Goats and Soaps vendor Cindi Grover serves as president, Jim’s Premium Ground Beef vendor James Hobbs serves as vice president, and Greens & Greenery vendor Katrina Bush serves as secretary.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans broad rather than narrow: produce and plant vendors sit alongside meat producers, bakers, honey sellers, coffee roasters, soap makers, and craft vendors. Shoppers looking for dinner ingredients, garden starts, and pantry goods can build a market bag across several categories without leaving the same row of stalls.

Saturday market dates are listed at 101 E. East St., while the Wednesday market is listed at 1650 Columbus Ave..

Know before you go

The biggest planning detail is that the market uses two different in-season locations: Saturday market listings point to 101 E. East St., and Wednesday market listings point to 1650 Columbus Ave.. The market is also described as having moved to the City Municipal Parking Lot at the corner of East Street and South Main in downtown Washington Court House, which helps orient the Saturday setup. Dogs are not allowed. For questions before you go, the market lists David Persinger as market manager and provides a phone number and email for contact.

Payments & SNAP

The market accepts cash, credit cards, SNAP/EBT, Produce Perks, SFMNP Senior Nutrition Coupons, WIC Farmers Market Coupons, and ADENA Fresh Food Rx’s. For shoppers using food access programs, that means multiple benefit types are recognized at the market, not just SNAP/EBT.
