That's Super Shrimp Saturday at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market! Yup, you'll be able to find local farm raised freshwater prawns or as we call them...shrimp, at the market this Saturday only. The graduate students from the Kentucky State University Aquaculture program will be at the market selling their shrimp that was raised in Frankfort. They'll have all sorts of information about preparing them, cleaning them and freezing them. And, the really great part is all of the proceeds from the sale will go back to the students for continued research! These are fresh shrimp, never frozen...so bring a cooler and ice!
Of course folks can't live on shrimp alone so bring your market tote too! We'll have plenty of farm fresh, 100% homegrown fruits and veggies available. Look for...
Green Beans
Tomatoes
Peppers...hot and sweet
Potatoes
Sweet Taters

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!
We are Lexington's largest 100%
homegrown/produced
