Bluegrass Farmers Market

Finally...I think spring has sprung! Mother Nature has decided that the folks in Kentucky have waited long enough for some warm temperatures. :) The sunshine and warmth can only mean one thing...those spring fruits and veggies will finally be appearing at the market this week!

I am talking asparagus and strawberries! Shop early because they will be in short supply. I also need to mention all of the other beautiful spring goodies like spinach, bibb lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, arugula, mixed lettuce, mustard and collard greens! It's gonna be a great Saturday at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market.

Just a few more goodies from our gardens to entice you...green beans, butternut squash, zucchini, cucumbers and even tomatoes...green and red!

It's also warm enough to plant those annuals and tender herbs! Think vegetable plants like tomatoes and peppers. Don't forget your porch or patio. We'll have plenty of hanging baskets, herb planters and decorative pots full of color.

How about some grass fed, no GMO veal, beef or pork! Add some goat, rabbit and lamb and you've got a bunch of great choices...don't forget the farm fresh eggs!

How about some extra added attractions like honey, beer cheese spreads, cut flowers, bean soup mixes, wonderful baked goodies, herb seasoning blends, jams and homemade soaps including laundry detergent!

And, who knows what else you might find!!!

We'll be set up in the beautiful tree lined parking lot of Pedal the Planet and Fast Signs, right next door to the Glenn Auto Mall on Richmond Rd. It's just a hop, skip and a jump outside of Man 'O War Blvd. Parking is right there so you don't have to drive around hunting for a spot to park. The parking lot is also paved and that makes it very stroller and wheelchair friendly!
