Farmers markets bring fresh food to NKY Nancy Daly ndaly@communitypress.com

At least three Northern Kentucky farmers markets have already opened for 2017. Covington Farmers Market opened for business on Saturday, April 22. The Dixie Farmers Market in Erlanger welcomed customers for the season on Thursday, April 27. Independence Farmers Market was next to open on Saturday, April 29, in downtown Independence at Courthouse Square. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays through Oct. 28. Northern Kentucky has ample outdoor venues to link the farm to your dinner table. Whether you have a specific recipe in mind or you’re looking to be inspired by seasonal fresh produce, why not buy fruits and vegetables directly from the farmer who just picked them earlier this morning. While most farmers markets are once-a-week affairs, Boone County Farmers Market will be open seven days a week after the 34 vendor booths kick things off on Saturday, May 6. Located beside the Boone County Extension and Enrichment Center, 1961 Burlington Pike, Burlington, Boone County’s daily hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. through May 28. Midsummer expanded hours of 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. run through Sept. 3. The year’s farmers market winds down Sept. 4 to Oct. 31 by returning to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. hours. Here’s a schedule of 2017 Northern Kentucky Farmers Markets made available by Kentucky Department of Agriculture on its Kentucky Proud Farmers Market Directory. Let us know if any farmers markets are missing from this official “Kentucky Proud” list.
