Murray's Saturday Downtown Farmer's Market!

Murray, Kentucky's downtown transforms itself on the south side of the square on Saturday mornings in the summer and fall. It becomes the site of the Saturday morning farmer's market selling fruits, vegetables, flowers, home made goods and even fish! This 10 plus year tradition gives local folks a place to come, get some good fresh produce, visit and even let their pets intermingle.

Earleene, I love Farmers markets. Your pictures were great! Did you take them with your new camera? I just found out that we have a farmers market here locally. Up until then the only time I made it to a Farmers market was when I visited my daughter in NYC and we went to the one in Union Square.

Marchel Yes, I used my new camera for the pictures. It was my first day out playing with it. Thank you for taking the time to look at them. I just love going to the market on Saturdays and getting fresh fruit and vegetables. I always run into people I know while there. It's just a good laid back place to go.

Chuck - Thanks. I enjoy going there because it is just a good feeling seeing people mingling and the farmers selling their wares all around the court square.

We have a great farmers market too, it is just too bad that it is only on Saturday morning and I often have appointments at the time it is open!

Mary,

I know what you mean. This on is only on Saturday also. They have opened another one that is on Tuesdays now out at our fairgrounds so that helps.
