Bluegrass Farmers Market

It's Tuesday and that means our farmers will be bringing their homegrown goodness to the Bluegrass Farmers' Market!

The tomatoes are plentiful and come in all sizes, colors and shapes. Why not try a yellow, pink or green striped one for a change...they are wonderful too! Our knowledgeable farmers will be able to tell you which tomato is best for your needs...just ask them!

If you haven't treated yourself to a freshly dug potato, do it! Believe me, they are not your “stored for months” grocery store variety. The flavor is amazing and they are not just potatoes...each variety has different qualities. Some are great for frying, some are great for salads and some are wonderful “mashers!” Talk to your farmer, they know cause they grew them!

And, oh my gosh...who knew there were so many different types of squash! Yellow, green, long, skinny, short, fat, “bakeable,” “stuffable” and some just perfect for a saute' pan! Once again...talk to the grower and ask questions, who knows you might just discover a new found favorite!

If you happen to love cucumbers as much as I do you'll be in seventh heaven this week! I love bread and butter pickles but the thought of canning scares the heck out of me so I found this fabulous recipe for a freezer pickle...easy and wonderful without the fear of canning! Thanks Sherry! :)

If you are a jam and jelly lover but again, hate the thought of canning...why not let the expert farmers do it for you! You'll be able to find homemade jams, jellies and butters in all flavors...even spicy ones!

Now, how can anyone pass up a melon! As they say, 'tis the season! Lol Watermelon and cantaloupes galore and all just ready for you to enjoy!

I know I have missed a bunch so take some time and visit the Bluegrass Farmers' Market today on your way home from the office...you'll be glad you did!
