Farming is about family for us. We started at the farmers market in 2012 sharing space with our family members at BLT Farms, selling a few extra vegetables from our home garden, and helping with sweet corn. Since then, we have grown and expanded each year, bringing more to the market every week. In April and May, we bring seedlings to help you plant your own garden, our vegetables start making an appearance at the beginning of June, and we end the season with the best of our garden canned up for you to enjoy. Every week, we also have our eggs (duck and chicken) and canned goods.
Goodin’s Garden is comprised of 2 family farms located within a half mile of each other - one on Middle Creek Rd and one on Red Mill Rd in Elizabethtown. In 2015, the majority of our vegetables began being grown at Red Mill Rd; while the chickens and ducks live at Middle Creek Rd. The greenhouse is also located at the Middle Creek Rd farm. In 2017, we introduced our homemade jams to the market, and have since expanded to include pickles, relish, salsa, infused vinegar, seasoning blends, and hot sauce.
In describing our farm, the words unique and creative come to mind. We want to offer something different than what you would find at the supermarket. For us, we love growing new varieties of vegetables, creating flavor pairings and new twists on classic jams, and showing how much fun it can be to eat local. Our enthusiasm extends to our daughter, who loves being at the farmers market each week to play with friends, eat her favorite foods, or be first in line for POP club. We love being a part of the Hardin County Farmers Market because it is a family friendly environment that helps kids learn where their food comes from.
