Bluegrass Farmers Market
30 Aug Tue 2011
Terrific Tuesday at the Bluegrass Farmers' Market!
The cool weather is sneaking its way into Kentucky. I really don't mind except for the fact that it means those veggies that love the summer heat will start to dwindle. But, the cool air also means those great veggies that love the cool air will be abundant. It won't be long before I say goodbye to my beautiful basil while welcoming that crisp broccoli. I guess it's a win win situation and one that farmers and shoppers look forward to each year...season changing and the thought of different varieties at the market! I was reminded of this on Saturday...the first pumpkins made a showing!
But, not to worry...we still have plenty of summer goodness available at Lexington's largest 100% homegrown/produced farmers market! Yup, honest to gosh homegrown corn, tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, squash, onions, garlic, eggplant, potatoes, raspberries and more will be available at the Richmond Rd. market today from 3 until 6:30!
We're asking for your support one last time...the voting for America's Favorite Farmers Market ends on August 31st at midnight. That means you only have 2 more days to vote for the Bluegrass Farmers' Market. We were voted #1 in Kentucky last year and we're out in front this year...but only by a small margin. So we need your vote!

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.

The parking lot is also paved and that makes it very stroller and wheelchair friendly!
