Develop New Albany’s Farmer’s Market

New Albany, Ind. (April 16th, 2024) – The Develop New Albany Farmers Market presented by Duke Energy will kick off the summer season this Saturday, April 20th, 2024. The market is open 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturdays at the City Square Pavilion located on the corner of Market and Bank Streets in downtown New Albany (202 E. Market St). The Farmers Market runs year-round at City Square.

“We’re excited to welcome both our long-term vendors and new ones.” said Westley Fair, Farmers Market Manager.  “Come and enjoy free activities for the kids and enjoy live music.”

In addition to the longer shopping hours, the summer season brings many activities for the community. Duke Energy Kids Day at the Market features scavenger hunts, big games, story time, giveaways, and more. Sponsored by Duke Energy, these activities will take place on the third Saturday monthly, April 20, May 18, June 15, July 20, August 17, and September 21 from 8 am to noon. Stay up to date on events by visiting our social media channels. Be sure to sign your children up for the POP CLUB starting April 20th thanks to a donation from the Caesars Foundation of Floyd County.

“Farmers markets provide a variety of fresh food while promoting good health and supporting local farmers,” said Lisa Huber, government and community relations manager for southern Indiana. “Duke Energy appreciates the contributions of small business and family farms to the area economy”.

The market accepts SNAP benefits, and we also have Double Up Indiana. Consumers can come to the information booth and use their SNAP card to withdraw money and through a generous grant, we are able to match that amount for the purchase of additional fruits and vegetables (up to $20 per market day). The Double Up Indiana program is made possible by donations from the St. Joseph Community Health Foundation and the Indiana Department of Health.
