"FRESH LOCAL HONEY" by NICK and BEV
NICKELS
Fayette County
We WILL BE at the Lexington Farmer's Market downtown on Saturday,
July 31st and at Southland Drive
on Sunday, August 1st if it doesn't rain.
We
offer the highest quality raw clover honey, pure beeswax candles and
pollen. Our delicious raw honey comes only from the fields and orchards
surrounding Lexington, Kentucky. Our raw honey is unheated, and
unprocessed so that all its attributes are fully preserved. Honeycomb in a jar
with strained honey is also available. Our candles are 100% unbleached, all natural beeswax. Beeswax candles
are long lasting and clean burning. They contain no toxins or soot common to
commercially produced paraffin candles. They are the candles of choice for
those who have asthma, allergies, or headaches due to paraffin or scented
candles. They are naturally fragrant with a subtle honey scent. They are made
with filtered beeswax; so they produce a bright, clear, steady flame and
beautiful illumination. Bee pollen is nature's most complete food, rich in vitamins, minerals,
amino acids and a complete source of protein. It can give us that extra edge to
stay healthy. An all-around nutritional supplement, bee pollen is ideal for
daily use. The bee pollen granules can be sprinkled over salad or cereal, added
to liquids or eaten as is.

I am
writing this quickly today before Leo and I go in to Richmond to visit with my parents. They
are moving on Thursday to Georgia
after about 15 years here. We are both excited for them and terribly sad
to see them go. This afternoon will be our last time together before they
go, so we are anxious to get there!
We've
been busy putting together more of our beautiful HANDCRAFTED GARLIC BRAIDS for
this weekend.....the perfect kitchen decoration, and the best way to store
garlic! We'll have a nice selection of both hardneck and softneck braids
from which to choose.
If a
braid is too much garlic for you, we'll also have our 100% cotton French string
bags with single varieties, or our CHEF'S DELIGHT, a string bag containing 6
different varieties (all marked), and of course our individual bulbs of
MUSIC. The extra large ones are perfect for roasting.....we'll give you
the recipe!
We
are glad to say that we will have OYSTER MUSHROOMS back this week. We've
partnered with a grower in Northern
KY to, hopefully, have a steadier
supply for you.
We'll
have all the "regulars" again this weekend, from A.S.H.-Free Pasture
raised KY PORK and BEEF in lots of different cuts, Kenny's KY-made CHEESES,
Sunrise Bakery's fresh ARTISAN BREADS and PASTRIES, including their famous
CINNAMON BUNS, and GARLIC BAGELS topped with our Music Garlic (warm from
the oven around 9:30AM). We'll even have some fresh soft
Italian GOAT CREAM CHEESE for you to put on top!
Bourbon
Barrel Sauces and Seasonings, Handmade Soaps, GARLIC SCAPE PESTO and CHAMPAGNE
DRESSING and lots more.
It
seems like Leo's birthday keeps falling on a market day year after
year, and Saturday's the day! He's not numbering them anymore, but
salutations would surely make him smile!

you have any special orders, please drop us an email [email protected]

RAGGARD
CREEKSIDE FARM
Shelby County
The
animal encounters have been slow so far this year, but that doesn't mean
everything has been short of excitement. Ed barely chugged the red and white
truck home Saturday night after some technical problems.... It wasn't too much
of a hassle, depending on how you look at it. We only had to take everything
off the truck and put it in a trailer attached to our other vehicle, a
Pathfinder, after emptying the trailer of items we had stored in it. The Season
begins!!!
We
have some of our own tomatoes starting to turn so we should have some before
long!!! We'll have big red tomatoes along with our juicy smaller
varieties, and heirlooms again this year (German Pinks, Black
Russians, etc.) We now have zucchini, squash, cucumbers, green onions,
beets, cabbage, kale, collar greens, and some banana peppers! Other great
veggie's coming along!! We have Bray Orchard Kentucky Peaches!! They were great
this week. Sweet and juicy!!!
We'll
also have some tomatoes, beans, and corn from our southern states
until ours are ready!! We will also be starting on Tuesday and Thursday at
Maxwell and Broadway on June 29th!! We'll still be at Saturday and Sunday
market.

LA PETITE
CREPERIE
Fayette County
La
Petite Cr�perie brings a little taste of France
to the Bluegrass
The
idea for opening a walk-up cr�perie was hatched many years ago when I was a
student in France. After discovering cr�pes they became a staple of my diet because as a hot, quick meal
they fit right in with the poor student budget. The best part was that they were never far
away. Walk-up cr�pe windows are like
hot dog stands in New York;
they are everywhere.
My
husband Mark and I took many more trips to France and ate countless more
cr�pes. We decided that the good people
of Lexington
should be able enjoy them here. After
years of tweaking batters and looking for just the right griddle, and after
serving hundreds of cr�pes to our friends, family and my French students, we
think we've hit on a good combination.
La
Petite Cr�perie hopes to recreate the experience of ordering a French cr�pe � emporter. Half of the fun is watching, smelling, and
anticipating how delicious it's going to be.
Our batter contains only eggs from the market, Weisenberger white and
wheat flours, Kentucky
produced whole milk, water, canola oil, sugar and salt. Our sweet cr�pe
fillings include honey and jam from Farmers' Market vendors, and the butter and
sugar cr�pes are made with homemade butter from the market. We also make a hearty breakfast cr�pe with
market eggs, cheese and vegetables. Our
menu will vary as other fruits, berries and vegetables come into season.
La
Petite Cr�perie will be open most Saturdays at Cheapside
from 7:00 am until 2:00 pm. and most Sundays at Southland from 10:00 until
2:00. You can visit our website, www.petitecreperie.com to find out
exactly where we will be and when. Bon
app�tit!
