Simpsonville is a small Shelby County community on US 60 between Louisville and Frankfort, in the middle of Kentucky's horse and bourbon country. This market at 6791 Shelbyville Road is a county stop rather than a big-city operation, a few miles from the larger Shelby County Farmers Market in downtown Shelbyville.

Shelby County Farmers Market has run out of Stargazer Plaza on Main Street since 2003, open Saturdays from 8am to noon, year-round rather than the seasonal schedule most Kentucky markets keep. Vendors sell produce, flowers, eggs, poultry, beef, pork, turkey, honey, baked goods, roasted coffee, and soap, plus woodcrafts and art. The market posts a monthly vendor newsletter and offers service in Spanish, reflecting Shelbyville's mix of longtime growers and newer arrivals.

It's run by the natural foods grocery chain, not a city or nonprofit, so the same team that stocks the store organizes the stalls.

This market sits on Dixie Highway in far southwest Louisville, near the Valley Station and Fairdale area of Jefferson County — a working-class corridor of the city that doesn't get the market density of the Highlands or St. Matthews.
