Open from mid-April through December, Boone County Farmers Market is a wonderful place to purchase…read morehigh-quality fruits, vegetables, flowers, and more from the people who have grown them.
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.
