Schnitzelburg Community Farmers Market

This Farmer's Market is still in its infancy, but it's got a great nucleus of vendors. If you live in the area and you're not stopping in, you're missing out.The staples are all here. Several farms come loaded with veggies. Three good breadmakers (including Klaus and his famous pretzel loaves). A couple places to buy eggs. Grasshoppers. Steel City Pops. Monnik crowlers. Kombucha. Quiches. We came home with an armful of pawpaws last week.Are you scared off by expensive farm-raised chickens? Well, $1 might still get you a watermelon or a pair of bell peppers or cucumbers.You're more into cocktails than drum circles? Well, last week at the market we had a demonstration from a local Maker's Mark rep, showcasing market ingredients. Yes, cocktail sampling.I can't promise that will happen frequently, but I can promise that the leadership behind this market isn't sleeping on the job. I'm so happy this market is taking shape.

This rating may seem harsh, but I am hopeful I will be able to bump in up soon enough.I moved to the neighborhood just under a year ago and was excited when I realized there was a weekly Farmers Market so close to my home. I just have to, you know, wake up early enough on the weekend to get to a Farmers Market in time to enjoy it. I stopped by a couple times over the summer. It is still pretty small and seems like it is still establishing itself. I hope it continues to grow and gets bigger and better. As it stands, there were a few CBD booths, a couple bakery/pre-made stuff booths (muffins and quiches and cookies, oh my!), sometimes a meat booth, and usually one produce booth. There is also a sort of pop-up food booth so you can get something for breakfast or brunch and eat it there.The vendors and all the people I have encountered while here are super friendly and nice. There just haven't been the kind of stock or variety that I am hoping for.Still, it all just feels small and incomplete. And I will absolutely be back! I really hope it grows and becomes more established and draws both more vendors and more customers!

I just went to the opening day for the Schnitzelburg Community Farmers Market expecting to find a market still finding its legs and working to attract vendors and folks from the neighborhood. Nope. This market opened in full force. Produce, baked goodies, eggs, shelf stable items, flowers, not to mention food to eat while you are there. Louisville has several good markets on Saturday mornings and this is no exception. The vendors will probably evolve and maybe even change week by week but today we were pleased to see Finn's, Grasshoppers, and Steel City Pops. We walked away with bread from Aunt Susan's and Common Table, pretzels from Klaus (who had some Garey Farm's shelf stable items with him), eggs, dried lavender (as decor, did not ask if it was food safe), lots of greens, and pickles. I'm looking forward to many visits this summer.Also, they do have a sign saying no pets, so while this market is definitely worth checking out, leave the furbabies at home!

This Farmers Market is still up and coming, but it has some local gems. Since moving to this area in May, I've gone a dozen or so times. They have their staples, including the pretzel bread folks (I've gotten way too many pretzel breads here, but they are just so delicious!), Bean Coffee (where I first discovered my new love for this coffee), produce, baked goods, eggs, etc. What I love most about this Farmers Market is the intimacy of it since it is still relatively new and the strong sense of community. They also have different features, including bunnies (to pet) and a local horticulturalist came last weekend. I really cannot say enough positive things about it. I think they are only going to be there a couple more weekends before winter sets in, so definitely head on over. 10am-1pm on Saturdays.
