Court & Main Market

Author: Audrey Myers

Planning Unit: Taylor County CES

Major Program: Economic Development

Plan of Work: Family, Community and Financial Stability

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

In our community of Campbellsville we have a number of very talented artists, makers & musicians. We also want to grow our farmers market to promote local foods and farmers throughout our county and central Kentucky. As a Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, one of my tasks is to provide programs that improve community and economic development. The FCS Extension Agent collaborated with the Campbellsville Main Street Association to bring a new market to Campbellsville called Court & Main Market. Court & Main Market was created to showcase local farmers and makers in the quaint setting of historic Downtown Campbellsville. Fresh, locally grown produce, along with handcrafted and curated goods are featured at each of our events. Court & Main Market is held on the first Friday of the months of June thru October and is located just off Main Street in downtown Campbellsville. Court & Main has three goals: 1. To feature local makers, artists and musicians. 2. Feature our local farmers and encourage people to buy local foods. 3. To increase foot traffic on Main Street in downtown Campbellsville. According to the survey sent out to all of the vendors, approximately $3,897 was sold in the span of the market. We also used social media sites, Facebook and Instagram as a tool to attract visitors from all over. A total of 18 vendors set up at the first market, with over 30 vendors signed up for the second market in July. The market will continue until October, featuring many talented people from all over central Kentucky.
