The Healthy New Albany Farmers Market isn’t just a place to find fresh produce; it’s a hub of community support, where your purchases directly impact local businesses and families. 

For vendors like Kyra and Wes, who operate MaKyn Farms, the market is a lifeline. “We love supporting the New Albany community,” says Kyra. “And we wouldn’t be able to do as much as we are if we didn’t have the support from the other vendors who offer us such great guidance and wisdom.”

MaKyn’s story is a testament to the market’s importance. Starting in 2023, the family-owned business was born out of a desire to spend more time together. 

“My husband worked long hours at a factory, just trying to do everything he could to support our family, but we didn’t see him often,” explains Kyra. Discovering a passion for microgreens, they saw an opportunity to build a sustainable business and create a better work-life balance. 

The market has been instrumental in their success, fostering a loyal customer base. “There have been so many repeat customers who have come back to us so quickly,” Kyra shares. “We feel so valued.”

Beyond supporting local families, shopping at the market offers unparalleled nutritional benefits. MaKyn specializes in a variety of microgreens, which are packed with nutrients. “We know they are good for us, but what a lot of people don’t know is that the first two leaves that pop up have 10 to 40 times more nutrient density than the flower,” Kyra says. “They are superfoods, and so much more versatile. You can toss them into your pasta or in a smoothie.”

Whether you’re looking to boost your own health or support local families and their farms, the Healthy New Albany Farmers Market is the place to be. You can find versatile microgreens, like those offered by MaKyn, along with other fresh, local products. Our summer market launches on June 5! Visit the market and taste the difference that fresh, local, and nutrient-rich food makes in your life.
