TRUNNELL’S

TRUNNELL’S FARM MARKET has been in business since 1990, when the family started selling sweet corn at its Utica farm stand. Finding an audience for locally-grown produce, the family began expanding their vegetable crops. Business was good enough for the family to open a new farm market building in 2008 and to open the Family Fun Acre the following year.

The Family Fun Acre features 30-plus attractions such as a corn maze, a jumbo jumping pillow, pumpkin patch, peach orchard, blackberry patch, the Grain Train and a pedal tractor track for children and adults.

The farm hosts special events for children and adults in the spring, fall, summer and holidays. Trunnell’s also has a Farm Market & Gourmet Deli just off Kentucky 54, near Lake Forest.

REID’S ORCHARD

REID’S ORCHARD was established when the family patriarch, Allan Reid, immigrated from Scotland and settled in Kentucky. The east-Daviess County orchard grows several varieties of apples, freestone and redskin peaches, strawberries, vegetables and flowers from the greenhouse.

The orchard is also home to Reidland Play Area, a children’s activity area featuring corn and soybean mazes, inflatables, games, the Berry Bouncer, gemstone mining and more.

HAYDEN FARMS

HAYDEN FARMS is a cattle and poultry farm that has been in business since 1983. The farm specializes in raising herds and flocks with a priority on animal welfare and received Beef Quality Assurance certification, which is awarded to farms that raise cattle under optimum management and environmental conditions.

The farm sells freezer beef by the quarter and runs D2 Meats, which offers more than 20 cuts of beef, including steaks, brisket, stew meat, ground beef patties and short ribs.

Tours of the farm are available by appointment.

RINEY FARMS

Keith Riney has spent more than 40 years in produce — and RINEY FARMS continues to offer fresh produce to the community.

Well known for its regular booth at the Owensboro Regional Farmer’s Market, Riney Farms also operates a produce stand in West Louisville.

The season runs from February to November, and offerings include several varieties of tomatoes, onions, peppers, green beans, potatoes and much, much more.

REGIONAL FARMERS MARKET

With a permanent, covered location on Triplett Street, THE REGIONAL FARMERS MARKET opens every April and runs into the fall.

Early in the season, shoppers can find baked goods, local meat products, fresh-cut flowers, greenhouse vegetables, locallyproduced wines, craft makers and more. As the growing season progresses, vendors will sell a variety of locally- and regionallygrown fruits and vegetables.

Over time, the market has seen an increase in both attendees and vendors and has evolved to include night markets on Thursdays during the height of the season.

The market also hosts events throughout the season, with themes such as Back to School, Halloween and the popular Holiday Market.

THE COTTAGE FARM STAND

THE COTTAGE, owned by Marlene Knight, is in a 1,000-square-foot home that’s been part of the Knight family farm for a century. The rural retail shop and restaurant sells coffee, including local roaster Big Turkey Foot Coffee, and much more.

The Cottage also offers canned vegetables, local honey, lunch and breakfast sandwiches and Knight’s baked specialty — mini muffins of assorted fruit and chocolate flavors packaged in egg cartons.

HILL VIEW

HILL VIEW FARMS MEATS was established in 2013 by the Gilles family — who can trace their roots through five generations of Daviess County farmers.

The farm raises cattle that are free of antibiotics and growth hormones. In addition, the farm’s chicken flocks are free range and free of growth hormones and antibiotics, as are the pork products the farm sells.

In addition to meats, the market sells milk and cheeses, eggs, baking ingredients and sauces and a variety of other Kentucky-produced products. The market is open Wednesday through Saturday, and items can be ordered online for pickup.
