The results are in and the Bluegrass Farmers' Market came in second place in the Commonwealth of Kentucky according to the America's Favorite Farmers Market contest. We were number one in the mid-size category! Heck, our little 100% homegrown/produced market has been voted #1 in Kentucky in 2010 and 2011 and this year the big guys finally beat us. Congratulations to the Lexington Farmers Market. It just shows us, the Bluegrass Farmers' Market, that we are going to have to work harder next year to educate the local public that there is a difference between the two markets. The great part is, Lexington has the top two markets in the Commonwealth! WTG Lexington!
Don't forget...
The Bluegrass Farmers' Market will be open, at the Richmond Rd. location, through October 27th!
The SFMNP (Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program) and the FMNP (WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program) vouchers will expire soon, make sure you check the date on your voucher!
Mark your calendars, October 20 th is going to be a special day to say thank you to all of our customers. We thank you all of the time but we kinda thought a special day was in order. We'll be giving away some really neat new market tote bags, pumpkin decorating for the kids, singing and dancing along with a DJ, etc. It'll be a great day and a great way to say thank you to our customers for a great 2012 market season.
