West Homewood Farmers Market changes setup to improve parking

The West Homewood Farmers Market will be more visible — and, organizers hope, more accessible — when it returns June 6.

The market will still be at Shades Valley Community Church, 160 Oxmoor Road, but this year the vendors’ tents and food trucks will be in the church’s front parking lot rather than the side. 

Organizer Kenyon Ross said this will allow vendors to park behind the church and give shoppers easier access to parking.

This summer, the market will be on Tuesdays from June 6 to Aug. 1 from 5 to 8 p.m. It will include nearly 60 vendors, with a variety of foods, crafts, farm produce and more. 

There will also be three food trucks per market, Ross said. Part of the parking lot will be a designated kids zone, and a stage will host live music.

A full list of the musicians to perform is available on the West Homewood Farmers Market website, but a few of the acts booked so far include the Lamont Landers Band, The Old Paints, Joe Breckenridge and Robert Abernathy. 

On Aug. 1, the West Homewood Farmers Market will partner with the police department to present Homewood Night Out.
