The Gray Street Farmers Market, situated at 400 E. Gray Street, commenced its seasonal operations on June 5. This year marks the market's 16th anniversary. It is a collaborative effort involving several organizations, including the University of Louisville School of Public Health & Information Services, the Louisville Department of Health & Wellness, and Catholic Charities’ Common Earth Gardens.

According to a release from Catholic Charities, the market has a dual mission: 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.”

The market offers triple SNAP benefits and senior vouchers as part of its services.

Operating every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the Gray Street Farmers Market will remain open through September 30, regardless of weather conditions.
