Mentelle neighborhood is about to get even better!
The Lexington Farmers’ Market is preparing for the grand opening of its Tuesday – Thursday market June 4 in the Warehouse Block. To get used to the space and allow the farmers and staff time to work on details, the market is hosting four neighborhood preview days — like a “soft launch.”
Neighborhood preview dates are May 21, 23, 28 and 30, roughly starting at 7 a.m. and continuing through around 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. The market will have many farmers but they may not be in the same spot each week. There likely will be adjustments to layout and logistics after each session, and the market will seek customer feedback on what is working and what isn’t.
But it will be great having the Tuesday-Thursday market, which formerly was at the corner of South Broadway and Maxwell Street near Rupp Arena, within walking distance of our homes.
