Bluegrass Farmers Market

Super Bowl Sunday is almost here and that means that many of you will be throwing a party and inviting family and friends over to watch the big game on TV. Football and food go together! A tailgating favorite is burgers! Okay, so it's a bit chilly this time of the year but what the heck, it's Super Bowl Sunday! Bust out the grills and try using items from some of your favorite farmers from the Bluegrass Farmers' Market!

How about something a bit different off of the grill like lamb burgers or lamb brats! Stone Burr Farm has plenty of ground lamb and lamb brats available. You can reach them at stoneburrlamb@gmail.com

Maybe you're more of a traditional beef burger kinda person. The folks at Kelly's Kobe Beef have ground Wagyu beef that's perfect for a juicy burger! Or, maybe you'd like to try a sausage pork burger from Herman's Happy Hogs! You can contact both of them at kellyfleckvieh@yahoo.com

Don't forget that any of these burgers can be topped with the wonderful pepper jam from McMaine's Riverhaven Farm! If you don't have any in your pantry, you can contact them at lmmcmaine@gmail.com to order some more!

Another great topping for any burger is the wonderful Bourbon Smoked Pepper Pimento or Traditional cheese spreads from JP Foods! The great news is you can find them at numerous places in the Bluegrass! Look for them at Liquor Barn locations in Lexington, Danville and Louisville, Cork and Barrel in Lexington, Capital Cellars in Frankfort, Marksbury Farms Market in Lancaster and Town Branch Market in Lexington.

And, don't forget to season those burgers with an herb blend from Herb'n Renewal! You can reach them at rubnseason@aol.com or order online at www.herbnrenewal.com

Stay tuned for some great recipes and party ideas! And, may your team win! :)
