The market, based in Fifth/Third Pavilion at Tandy Park on Main Street, next to the Historic Courthouse, will be spending the coldest months indoors this winter.

Market director Josh England said the market board voted to move after the holidays into Greyline Station’s atrium area, formerly home to the Julietta Market, which moved out in 2023.

The market expects stay at the pavilion downtown through the end of 2024.

The atrium of Greyline Station, once occupied by Julietta Market, will be home to Lexington Farmers Market on Saturdays in January, February and part of March in 2025.

Greyline developer Chad Needham said he welcomes the market’s arrival in the new year.

“Greyline is excited to offer our large indoor atrium space to Lexington Farmers Market this winter,” he said in a statement. “We realize farmers grow fresh food year round and we think an indoor LFM will create a warm and vibrant market experience for all our local residents and current businesses. We are excited this collaboration is happening!”
