No matter how wonderful and fresh the fruits and veggies are the the Bluegrass Farmers' Market, sometimes you just need a little nudge to prepare something new and different! Well, the Richmond Rd. market is trying to help by having Recipe Day this Saturday. Farmers will have recipes available for many of the summer goodness at the market! Try a melon salsa, a zucchini crisp or maybe a fruit dump! Who knows, you might just discover a new family favorite at the market this Saturday. :)
