Our History

Trunnell's Farm Market is owned and operated by Kevin Trunnell and his wife Julie. Kevin is the fourth generation to farm the land located near Utica, KY.

While the Trunnell Farm has been in the family for four generations, Trunnell's Farm Market began in 1990 when Kevin planted 1 acre of sweet corn and sold it in the front yard out of the back of his truck.

In 1993, as the business grew, sales of sweet corn and tomatoes were moved to an old tobacco barn on the property. A simple lean-to shed was built on the side of the barn facing the road. Each year more acres and a variety of vegetables were added. Pumpkins, mums, and other fall decoration items were added in 2000.

The early spring of 2006 brought a storm that damaged the old tobacco barn and lean-to beyond repair. The 2006 and 2007 seasons were handled by using a temporary tent to house and sell produce. Construction on the new market building began in September 2007, with a grand opening in June 2008.

In 2009, Trunnell's Farm Market expanded to include the Farm Experience, designed to provide an absolutely fun experience for kids and adults alike.

In 2016, Trunnell's opened a new Market with a full scale deli on HWY. 54 in Owensboro. This market offers the same fresh-picked high quality produce, the best deli meat and cheese in town, mouth watering sandwiches and party trays, gifts, homemade fudge and more!
