The Covington Farmers Market mission is to provide an economically viable direct-marketing opportunity for KY producers offering nutritious, locally grown food to the residents of Covington and the Ohio River Valley. This direct-marketing approach connects the Covington community to its food source. The community gets fresh, locally grown foods and increases the quality of life for the farmers with income.
The Covington Farmers Market is a member of Kentucky Proud and is the only Kentucky-based Farmers Market within a 15-mile radius that accepts food assistance cards. Being able to offer this is a unique opportunity in more than just the obvious reason, fresh food for our low-income neighbors and customers. It also is an opportunity to educate and expose those customers to new vegetables and how to prepare them. Healthy and fresh food availability is a good practice for a healthy community.
The Covington Farmers Market also serves as a startup catalyst for small businesses, growers, and local farms. In 2023, the Farmers Market vendors brought in over $200,000 in revenue and over the years multiple vendors tracing their roots to a market booth have created brick and mortar, successful businesses here in Covington.
