Bluegrass Farmers Market

Before I start to tell you about the wonderful goodies that will be available at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market this Saturday, let me say thank you again to all who voted for us in the America's Favorite Farmers Market contest. We are so proud to be voted #1 in Kentucky and in the top 20 in the entire United States. We sure couldn't have accomplished this feat without our customers and loyal followers. We just want you to know how much we appreciate all of you.

Okay, now on to the Saturday goodies! :) There's still plenty of summer goodness but the fall treasures are starting to make their way into the market too!

In the veggie department, look for...

Tomatoes – red, yellow, green, pink, striped, small, large and in between!

Peppers - hot, sweet, red, green, yellow, short, long, skinny & plump!

Potatoes – white, red, golden, fryers, bakers, mashers!

Sweet Taters – good for ya, need I say more!

Okra – think gumbo!

Onions – all sizes, shapes and colors!

Squash – summer, winter, exotic, odd, common, yellow, green & always good!

Eggplant – purple, white, big & little!

Greens – kale, Swiss chard & mustard...maybe even some spinach!

Green Beans - get them while you can!

Corn – second crop is starting to come in but it will be in short supply so shop early!

And, in the fruit area, look for...

Watermelons – yellow, red, seedless and with seeds for those spitting contests!

Raspberries – red, plump and delicious!

Why

Because we think everyone who shops at a farmers market deserves to be talking to the farmer who grew, baked, made or created what they are selling!

Our farmers are also trained and certified in the GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) program!

It's just another way that we show you how much we care about what we do!
