Louisville has a new Farmers Market Association (LFMA). The
purpose of the new association is to support farmers markets, farmers and local
food producers to promote access to a healthy and sustainable food system. LFMA
does this by providing assistance such as marketing, financial advisement,
vendor and volunteer recruitment to increase the capacity of farmers markets.
It also helps to facilitate better access to healthy fruits and vegetables for
everyone by helping the markets support SNAP (food stamps) participants through
the Double Dollars Program and Free EBT Equipment and seniors through the
Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. There is also now a new Guide to
Local Food Resources that provides a map and list of all of Louisville’s
farmers markets, Fresh Stop markets and Healthy Corner Stores. Click here to see the guide.
