Boone County Farmer's Market

Started in 1987, a handful of local farmers decided to get together and introduce the locals to a taste of Northern Kentucky farm raised fruits and vegetables on weekends. Since 2002, the market has expanded, with the help of the Boone County Cooperative Extension Service Office, to a membership of 50 plus with lots of community support to provide various locally grown plants, fruits and vegetables on a full time basis, 7 days a week from spring through fall. The market now has a permanent location on a paved parking lot next to the extension office at, 6028 Camp Ernst Rd, in Burlington (corner of KY 18 and Route 237) just west of Camp Ernst Rd. in Northern Kentucky.

Hours of Operation

The Boone County Farmer's Market is open seven days a week from April to October from 9:00AM to 6:00PM, and product availability is based on the current season.

What To Find

In spring, the market is a great stop for hanging baskets, perennials, bedding plants, vegetable plants, ornamentals, small trees and shrubs and spring strawberries.

In summer, you will find fresh, locally grown produce such as tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, peppers, egg plant, corn, asparagus, blackberries, squash, apples, peaches, cantelope, watermelon and more.

In fall, look for mums, pumpkins, corn stalks, gourds and winter squash among items and, no matter what the season, you will find great local hospitality and service.
