Bluegrass Farmers Market

It's the last weekend of May and that means the unofficial start of summer. It also means that we get to remember those who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces...it's Memorial Day! I like to think of it as a day to celebrate the lives of those brave men and women. They were sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and dear friends. They were loved and we should all honor them.

I know that my dad and uncles always chose to spend Memorial Day by being thankful for our freedom. That meant they made us all smile with our annual family picnic fare. And yes, we always bowed our heads in thanks for the brave men and women who helped allow us to have our feast! And, what a feast it was! I still take time to remember and thank our brave service men and women and hope that you will too.

Now on to the Memorial Day feast! Why not snack on some great beer cheese spreads. How about a crisp lettuce and greens salad. Delicious grilled beef, pork, chicken, lamb or goat seasoned with some great hand blended herb seasoning. Throw some zucchini or sweet taters on the grill too. Don't forget the fresh strawberries and marvelous baked goods. Or, the beautiful cut flowers for decorating your picnic table. Don't forget a bar of soap to wash those dirty hands before eating! :)

From our farms...we thank all of our military families for their service and sacrifices.
