Bluegrass Farmers Market
01 Sep Thu 2011
Bluegrass Farmers' Market is #1 in Kentucky!
Thank you loyal customers! You voted and we won! The Bluegrass Farmers' Market was voted #1 in Kentucky for the second year in a row!!!
You have no idea how much our farmers appreciate your confidence and support. Being a small, totally homegrown/produced farmers market is not easy. We don't have the variety of fruits and vegetables available year round like the big markets. But, that's because we only sell what we grow, raise, make or bake! It's really nice to know that you all appreciate our homegrown goodness.
Wow, I am soooooo excited so just bear with me if I go off track and grin for a second while I am typing this. :)
~*~*~* Mark your calendars *~*~*~
Pumpkin Day
September 17th
Kids get to decorate their very own pumpkin!
This will be such a fun day for kids of all ages...
decorate a pumpkin and take it home to enjoy!
We'll supply everything except the imagination!
Okay, back to business as usual with a smile! :)
Folks have been asking how long the market continues. For some reason it seems like people think that we close once school starts. NOPE, we grow plenty of fall season goodness too! In fact, pumpkins and Indian corn made their first showing this past Saturday. The Bluegrass Farmers' Market is open through October 29th! :)
There is still plenty of summer goodness available this week...

Richmond Rd. Market

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!
