The Covington Farmers Market mission is to provide an economically viable direct-marketing opportunity for KY producers offering nutritious, locally grown food to the residents of Covington and the Ohio River Valley. This direct-marketing approach connects the Covington community to its food source. The community gets fresh, locally grown foods and increases the quality of life for the farmers with income.
The Covington Farmers Market is a member of Kentucky Proud and is the only Kentucky-based Farmers Market within a 15-mile radius that accepts food assistance cards. Being able to offer this is a unique opportunity in more than just the obvious reason, fresh food for our low-income neighbors and customers.
The Covington Farmers Market also serves as a startup catalyst for small businesses, growers, and local farms. In 2024, the Farmers Market vendors brought in over $160,000 in revenue, and over the years multiple vendors tracing their roots to a market booth have created brick and mortar, successful businesses here in Covington.
The Covington Farmers Market could not exist without community support, and it is largely funded by donations, sponsorships, and partnerships. Farm to Fork is not only a festive celebration of local growers and makers, but it is a crucial way to ensure that the market continues to be a sustainable and thriving community asset in Covington. Farm to Fork 2025 sponsors include: KeyBridge Compliance, Emboss, City of Covington, and Covington Business Council.
