The farmers market is open seven days a week from 9 am to 6 pm, though there are more vendors on the weekends than throughout the week. For less than ten bucks, you can walk away with huge bag of green beans, fresh corn, Roma tomatoes, eggplant, and green peppers. Speaking of peppers, I've never seen so many varieties. This place even beats Jungle Jim's as far as pepper species go. Habanero, jalepeno, and banana as well as sweet peppers in every color of the rainbow, all can be bought here. Heirloom tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplant are also available in varieties that aren't sold in most grocery stores. In addition to the fresh fruit and produce, a number of specialty vendors sell homemade pies, cakes, bread, salsa, jams, preserves, and pickles. Fresh potted herbs such as oregano, parsley, dill, sage, rosemary, and cilantro are often available for less than $3. Boone County Farmers Market is one of the best places in the region to buy holiday goods like Mother's Day flowers, Halloween pumpkins, and Christmas trees.

There was a great variety of items available; pastries, baked goods, meats, cheeses, milk, local beers and LOTS of vegetables. I loved how many vegetable stands there were. Pastry prices were a bit high across the board but the ones I purchased were good. There was even a small amount of local art available which I love to see at farmers markets. I assumed the market was contained to the pavilion but to my surprise I realized the market also lined portions of the streets and around the pavilion. If I lived here I would find it pretty easy to do the bulk of my protein and vegetable shopping here. I almost forgot the mention the plethora of flowers.. GORGEOUS flowers!

We got there around noon and there was so much to look at. I was drawn to the Dubai brownie but we had lunch right before walking to the market. At the flower table we stopped at I got three stems for 10.00. They do take cash or you can go to the farmer's market information table and buy tokens for your purchase. The fresh produce looked really good long with the baked items on several tables. There is a table that does handmade pasta that looked really good. Since I watch my carb intake sadly I past that table up they also had mini meatballs made with a mix of pork and beef. There was a variety of cheeses, wines, beer, some tee shirts, a food truck that had really interesting drinks and different flavored lemonade flavors. I love seeing all the dogs at the market and although we don't have a dog I thought about getting a cat backpack and taking our cat.

It's right across from the fire station (kids love fire trucks), in the church parking lot. Dogs aren't allowed so bring a friend to hold her while you shop. You can eat your breakfast together at one of the tables right there at the church outside of the Farmers Market. Parking is available on the street or across the street at another church. It's a great place to hangout for a bit, let the kids explore, eats farm fresh, literally, breakfast, get some great goodies for the week, and RELAX (it's the weekend). This Farmers Market is large enough to give you everything you need or want, and small enough to walk around and still keep an eye on your kids or quickly find a friend to compare your treasures. I love the breakfast omelet, the music is always good and sometimes really, really good. And the people are always friendly and fun. I walk there, but it is worth the drive, and then you can walk around a bit!

Previous experience…read morewith sandwiches from an Amish store led me to believe we would be happy with what we received, and we were not disappointed! We arrived about 1:00 pm., and still had to wait in line to order our food. All of the sandwiches are made to order, and have generous portions. Most of the patrons were wearing masks, and we tried to keep the 6 foot distance between us, but we couldn't always keep the correct distance due to the number of people inside. We also picked up a few grocery items, and some no sugar added milk chocolate peanut clusters that my hubby really enjoyed. They have a couple of shelves of no sugar added items, including a beverage mix, flavored gelatin, and various candy including fudge. We will definitely make a return trip here! Hubby and I sat outside on the covered porch to eat, and most of the crowd was gone by the time we finished. If I had waited to get my grocery items then, social distancing wouldn't have been a problem! On another note, they do accept credit cards, and power the grocery operation with solar panels.

I've been buying flowers from them for about a month now. (The secret to keep your flowers alive longer is to add a cup full of vodka to cold water and an ice cube). I change my water on a daily basis using this method and my flowers last a full 7 days). We also stopped at Nate's to get coffee. I got a cold brew with foam and a shot of toasted marshmallow. My friend got a drip coffee and a bagel with spinach artichoke spread. She said it was really good but on the messy side to eat. I also picked up a jar of carrot cake jam from salad days. There were jewelry booths, that included homemade soap, vegetables fruits, baked goods , fresh pasta, different condiments and spices, rubs, beer, cheese, and assortment of beef, chicken,pork, farm fresh eggs and so on. It was busier than normal today but I think that had a lot to do with people graduating and the fact that the previous weekend was derby so people were out of town. The people selling fresh flowers were extra busy because tomorrow is mother's day. We saw a variety of dogs too which is normal. I like that the main area of the market is sheltered so you have protection from the weather elements and shade for when it gets hot in the summer.

We stopped by on a Sunday morning in early October, and we were absolutely SHOCKED at the amount of people here! This is definitely the spot for families with young kids - and even though we don't fall into the category, we still had a pretty fun visit! We brought our dog with us (because we called ahead and they are dog-friendly!) but if we would have known how crowded it would be, we certainly would have left him at home since he gets anxious around lots of people. Everyone we interacted with that worked there was friendly! They seemed well-staffed for how busy they were - and I definitely appreciated the extra parking attendants. We opted to pick pumpkins ourselves, which included a hayride. This took us through much of the farm, which was beautiful and well kept! They even had fun facts on little signs scattered along the route. The best part of the visit was the actual pumpkin picking. They provide you with garden shears, and you physically get to remove your pumpkin from the vine. We had a lot of fun roaming around in search of the best gourd available - and I can't say I've ever had a pumpkin experience quite like this one. We would have ordered some food from the snack shack, but long lines led us to opt for some kettle corn to-go from a different vendor. No problems there - I'm always happy when there's kettle corn involved. All in all, we had a pretty good time, and I would consider visiting again if my little niece and nephew were in town!

We bought the family pass, where it's $25 for up to 5 people and includes 2 carving-size pumpkins. After showing our ticket, we were directed to the play area where they had a mini petting zoo of some cows and goats, a corn launcher, a corn pit, huge slides and a field of pumpkins to choose from. I was lucky enough to take my 3 1/2 year old nephew and by the time we left, we were WORN OUT! They sent a gator out to shuttle us and our pumpkins back to the parking area and we were glad to plop after the day's adventure. We will definitely be returning before the end of the season!
