Fall is darn near here and the Bluegrass Farmers' Market is going to celebrate the season change a wee bit early. In fact, it's this Saturday at the Richmond Rd. location. We're going to be celebrate a curcurbit variety...a little round, orange one to be exact. It's Pumpkin Day at the market! Kids of all ages get to decorate their very own pumpkin. We'll supply the markers, the stick-ons and the pumpkin...you supply the creativity! I can't wait to see what our kiddo customers come up with. :)
Just because fall is headed our way doesn't mean that the summer goodness has left the market. There's still plenty of fruits and veggies that we associate with the warm months, like tomatoes and melons.
Here's a bit of what you'll find at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market this Saturday...
