The countdown continues...
only 3 more weeks!
It seems like we were just announcing the opening of the 2011 market season and now here we are counting down the weeks until we close for the season! It's kinda sad and it makes me wish we had a longer warm season, but...we do live in Kentucky and you never know what the weather will be like! Lol Heck, parts of the state have already had frost. EEK!!! Then you travel a mere 20 miles and they are having a heat wave. Welcome to Kentucky! :)
I guess what I am trying to say is I can only give you a hint of what will be available this week because all of the farmers said it depended on the weather.
Here are the “for sure” items...
Jams
Baked Goods
Herb Seasoning
Garlic
Pumpkins
Cut Flowers
Homemade Soap
Eggs
Potatoes
Sweet Potatoes
Winter Squash
Cabbage
Onions
Here are the “depends on the weather” items...
Tomatoes
Corn
Green Beans
Squash
Peppers
Okra
Cucumbers
Raspberries
Eggplant
Melons
Shiitake Mushrooms
Honestly, that's not such a bad list of “for sure” items and Mother Nature has been fairly nice this week so I anticipate the “depends on the weather” items to be at the market as well. You can be assured that whatever makes it to the Bluegrass Farmers' Market is 100% homegrown or produced...we guarantee it!
~*~ 2011 MARKET HOURS ~*~
Richmond Rd. Market
Saturday 9 until 2 or until sold out
Tuesday 3 until 6:30 or sold out
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!
