Bluegrass Farmers Market

Well, it's almost here...June! And, that means we'll be seeing more of the “summer” fruits and veggies to go along with our “spring” offerings. It's always one of my favorite times of the year. Once the zucchini starts showing up at the market, it means the corn and tomatoes can't be far behind! Yippee!

June also brings the closing of the school year. So, what do you do to keep those kids occupied during the summer months? How about some fun at your local library! The folks from the Eagle Creek Library will be at the Liquor Barn Hamburg and Beaumont Library will be at our Azur Restaurant & Patio market this Saturday. Stop by and find out what fun reading programs will be available this summer! A little more excitement at the Liquor Barn market...Roger and his “squeezebox” will be there to entertain everyone!

As I told everyone a few weeks ago, after six years of sharing the weekly market blog with you, I have decided that I really need to concentrate more on our farm and business. This will be my last market report. I am going to continue to share special market news, recipes, tips, etc. so check our Local Harvest page often. I thank you all for the support over the years, the comments, suggestions, etc. have helped us bring you a better market.

Signing off for the last time,

Karin, your friendly blog gal
