Week three of the Bluegrass Farmers' Market 2013 season and we're progressing nicely...if only Mother Nature would cooperate! The cold weather has not helped the growth of our usual spring veggies. The heavy rains have swamped fields full of beautiful greens. But, somehow our farmers are still coming to the market with everything they can harvest! Heck, we even had green beans last week!
It looks like customers might be shopping in between raindrops this Saturday. Hey, that's why they make raincoats and umbrellas! Bust out your rain gear and head out to the Bluegrass Farmers' Market for some honest to gosh homegrown goodness!
Here's a sampling of what you'll find this Saturday...
Lettuce
Kale
Zucchini
Cucumbers
Mustard Greens
Sweet Taters
Butternut Squash
Asparagus
Jams & Jellies
Baked Goods
Herb Seasoning
Homemade Soaps
Homemade Laundry Detergent
Honey
Eggs
Dried Peppers & Tomatoes
Bean Soup Mix
And, in the meat department look for...
Lamb
Goat
Veal
Pork
All different cuts, sausages, hams, bacon, brats and hot dogs! You'll even be able to enjoy some “cooked at the market goodies” while you shop!
And, a whole bunch more!
