The Gray Street Farmers Market, located at 400 E. Gray Street, hosted its opening day on June 5.
The market, which turns 16 this year, is a partnership of several organizations. Currently, the partners are the University of Louisville School of Public Health & Information Services, the Louisville Department of Health & Wellness and Catholic Charities’ Common Earth Gardens.
Its mission is two-fold: to “make locally grown produce accessible to people living in an area with a high rate of food insecurity” and “nurture and support urban farming initiatives that provide our multicultural community of refugees land access,” said a release from Catholic Charities.
The market accepts triple SNAP benefits and senior vouchers.
The Gray Street Farmers Market is open every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. through Sept. 30, regardless of weather.
