The Crescent Hill Farmers Market, at the corner of Frankfort and South Peterson Avenues, is now open two days a week, bringing fresh fruits and vegetables from Southern Indiana to Crescent Hill customers. The market is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 am to roughly 11:00 am in the parking lot of the Crescent Hill United Methodist Church.
Charles Hambley of Hambley Farms has been the mainstay of the market. For nearly 30 years, Hambley Farms has been helping keep Kentuckiana stocked in locally grown produce. A family owned and operated vegetable farm in Corydon, Indiana, Hambley sells at several farmers markets, including the St. Matthews market, and specializes in dirt-grown tomatoes and other hearty vegetables. More about Hambley Farms is here: http://www.hambleyfarms.com/.

Shopping at farmers markets is a great sustainability practice. As the Farmers Markets Coalition says “Sustainability is the overarching theme…. Farmers engage in sustainable farming practices to produce healthy food to sustain the local community, who in turn provide the money necessary to sustain the farmers. Each shares in the success of the other in a mutually beneficial relationship that has become a model for sustainability. “
We are fortunate to have several farmers markets in District 9 - the award-winning St. Matthews Farmers Market at 4100 Shelbyville Road on Saturday mornings, https://www.facebook.com/SMFarmersMarket/, which we’ve featured earlier this year; a market at Rainbow Blossom, 3738 Lexington Road, on Sundays from 12:00 – 4:00 pm (more about that next week); and the Crescent Hill market on Monday and Friday mornings.
We’d like to feature your sustainability story - a resident or business doing good things for the environment. Riding the bus, bicycling, walking, gardening and more - our eNews will feature practices which can benefit all of us. Send your story to Bill Hollander or Kyle Ethridge.
