Bluegrass Farmers Market

Everyone knows that goodies purchased at a local farmers market always taste better...it has to, it's fresh! I have to admit that I was blown away this week by the eggs, even though I know farm fresh eggs from happy hens are always better than store bought. I purchased a dozen of the jumbo eggs and they were huge!!! I'm normally a “two egger” person but not with these eggs...one was more than enough for me. And, they were only $4 a dozen!!!! My thanks to John, our “egg man” for my spectacular breakfast.

I'm also amazed at the amount of garden fresh tomatoes still available considering some of our farmers got hit by frost. Another amazing feature for me was the flavor of the sweet potatoes...they just cannot compare with those that you buy in a grocery store. Think freshly dug vs. sitting in storage for who knows how long! In fact, the folks at Herb'n Renewal were so impressed that they decided to cook up some of Drew's special Jamm'n Sweet Tater soup to sample this Saturday!

While you are sampling, make sure you stop by McMaine's Riverhaven Farm booth and have a taste of the wonderful jams...both spicy and sweet! I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy foods but their pepper jam is to die for!

So, what else will you find at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market this Saturday? How about greens, potatoes, green beans, all sorts of winter squash, okra, eggplant, lettuce, peppers, raspberries, jams, jellies, baked goods, honey, gourds, pumpkins, herb seasoning, Indian corn, fall decorations and so much more!
