"FRESH LOCAL HONEY" by NICK and BEV
NICKELS
Fayette County
We WILL BE at the Lexington Farmer's Market downtown on
Saturday, September 25th and at Southland Drive on Sunday, September 26th
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.

Well,
here we go....World Equestrian Games begin! After all of Lexington's preparation and hype, it will be
interesting to see what ultimately comes of it! We hope to see lots of
people at the market from all over our country, and from some other
countries too! Looks like there will be all kinds of entertainment going
on downtown for the duration. Come join the party!
Our
BABY SQUASH MEDLEY got just a tiny drink last week, but it seemed to be enough
to keep it going a while longer! The miniature squash in many varieties
are beautiful and SO delicious! They're easy to prepare....saute, roast,
or grill! Our BELL PEPPERS are booming right now- time to put some in the
freezer for winter meals! Did you know that peppers are one of the few
vegetables you can freeze without blanching? You can wash and slice or
dice them, or even leave them whole, and pop them in a freezer bag.
That's it!
Our
GARLIC supply is holding up well, and we've noticed folks starting to stock up
for winter. Our GARLIC BRAIDS are the very best way to store garlic for
the long term. The entire plant is left intact, which slows the
evaporation process, and keeps the cloves succulent much longer.
We'll have a great selection of GARLIC BRAIDS this weekend.
For
those of you who don't want to chop garlic, we have our own
"knock-your-socks-off" GARLIC POWDER. It's 100% GARLIC- with no
fillers. Use it carefully until you get used to how strong it is!
We have it HICKORY
SMOKED as well.
Check
out the Stone Cross Farm A.S.H.-free , pasture-raised PORK products we have
every week! Delicious BACON, CHOPS, ROASTS, and lots of kinds of SAUSAGE,
from BREAKFAST SAUSAGE to CHORIZO! Something for every palate.
Kenny's
KY Made CHEESES are vegetarian-friendly.....made with vegetable rennet!
We carry over 15 varieties, from COLBY to BLEU!
Colcord
Farm supplies the GRASS FINISHED BEEF. Their Angus steers are never, EVER
fed any grain. "Beef the way nature intended". They are
also pasture raised, and Antibiotic, Steroid and Hormone-free.
BASIL,
BASIL, BASIL!!!! The plants are loving the cooler mornings and evenings
(me too!!) and it is really beautiful right now. Want to preserve some
for winter use? Here's a link to a good article with 5 different ways to
preserve.... http://www.herbcompanion.com/herbs-in-the-kitchen/how-to-preserve-basil-5-ways.aspx
If you
want an easy way to make pesto, just use our GARLIC SCAPE PESTO as a
base! Add basil pureed in olive oil, and it's done! Our
CHAMPAGNE DRESSING is from the Coach House Restaurant recipe, and makes not
only a terrific topping for your salad, but a great sandwich spread, or
coleslaw dressing!
Bourbon
Barrel Foods in Louisville is the producer
of the ONLY small batch SOY SAUCE in the U.S.! Matt Jamie, the owner,
ages the soy in bourbon barrels, which gives it a unique flavor. The
WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE has a bit of bourbon in it, as does the teriyaki, which he
named Kentuckyaki! The flavors are delicious! He also produces
Bourbon Smoked SALT, PEPPER and PAPRIKA! They make great KY gifts!
Sunrise
Bakery provides the crusty ARTISAN BREADS, the scrumptious PASTRIES and
MUFFINS, the best around GARLIC BAGELS and GARLIC TOPPED FOCCACIA, and the
truly unique GARLIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!
If
you like to eat, you really should check us out! Saturdays on Short
Street behind the museum, from 7:30-2PM, and Sundays on Southland Dr. in front
of Goodyear from 10 AM til 2 PM.

Miss Abigail has won 16 KY State Fair ribbons for honey.
I will be at Southland if I don't sell out on Saturday. |
Why is it recommended that you purchase honey from local beekeepers?
Here is one reason - honey laundering from China.
Click on - http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2010/09/01/the-buzz-on-honey-laundering/?hpt=Sbin
Buy honey from beekeepers you trust!
MEAD MAKERS
We have some 12 lb honeys jugs for those who make mead.
We did our last honey harvest last Wednesday.
While it is the best honey harvest we have ever had due to the profusion of clover this summer, it is still limited. So it may be time to look at your needs for the winter and decided how much honey you will need. We will stay at the Market this fall into November unless it gets cold. After that we shut down until April of 2011.
What to do when honey crystallizes - put jar on dashboard of car on sunny day and let the sun reliquify it.

ELMWOOD STOCK FARM Scott County Look for Elmwood moving "under cover" in the Pavillion near Short Street as spaces open up - hopefully we can provide you a more sheltered shopping experience as we move into the season for cooler weather. We will continue attending each of the 4 farmers market (Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun) so please stop in to see the new fall crops that are coming ready for harvest each week. We continue to offer a full selection of our organic meats and eggs along with our produce at each of the 4 markets also. Elmwood and your other farms will continue to be set up on Saturdays downtown at Cheapside Park just like normal during the WEG games (and after - remember our outdoor location goes through Thanksgiving!) This week we are featuring a new bounty of hard shelled Fall Squashes - Green Acorn, Butternut, Spaghetti, Delicata, Sweet Dumpling, and a small, but nice, selection of Pumpkins. Decorative pumpkins and specialty gourds are also ready and with dry weather this year, they should last through the holiday season. Other crops we are harvesting including Stringless Green Beans, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Patty Pan Squashes, Okra, Eggplant, Bell Peppers, Hot Peppers, Cucumbers (new patch), Raspberries, and fresh cut Herbs. We'll have some Kale and Swiss Chard, possibly some Radishes, and who knows now what other items will be ready the end of the week? Update on Organic Meats: Our next weekend for fresh, not-yet-frozen, certified organic hens and packs of cut-up chicken is September 10th-11th. And, we'll have frozen hens at every market. We have a small selection of Lamb that has been picked up at the butcher and now ready as well. Email if you have a specific cut in mind. Our 100% grass fed, organic beef is fully stocked so now is the time to begin to think of stocking your own freezer! Special News: We do take pre-orders for Elmwood certified organic heritage and traditional broad-breasted turkeys either in person or through email. They are processed at KY's small USDA inspected facility outside Bowling Green and will be ready for pickup the weekend prior to Thanksgiving. Just contact the farm (best by email) and we'll share more details with you on expected available sizes, the differences in taste and appearance dependent on heritage or broad-breasted breeds, and pricing. Elmwood Stock Farm will be set up on Saturday mornings at the market through Thanksgiving. Look for us to secure your own share of locally grown, organic, wholesome, healthy farm food each week of the growing season. These days, more than ever, it's important to know the source of your family's food and you can look to a local organic farm to meet your body's nutritional needs resulting in good health. We offer our certified organic eggs from free-ranging hens on grass pasture, organic poultry, and grass-fed beef from our organic Angus cattle. Elmwood's meats, eggs, and vegetables are produced by us on our organic family farm in Scott County. Visit our website to learn more, review our price lists, and pre-order your special items. http://www.elmwoodstockfarm.com/ HILLSIDE HERITAGE FARM Garrard County It was great to see so many of you on Saturday. I have grown to look forward to the time when we are at the Lexington Farmers' Market. Yes, I made it to the market just 11 days after my knee replacement surgery. I only climbed into the back of the truck about 5 times and if you were there when it happened, I want you to know it wasn't as bad as it looked! Although we were out of bacon when we started, we had a great day and I want to thank all of you for your continued purchases. Unless we have trouble getting to Boone's, we will have bacon this week. We are still selling lots of Brats and Italian Sausage for cooking on the grill as well as a whole lot of pork chops. Consider getting something that you can cook in the crock pot so that it doesn't heat up your kitchen too much. A Fresh Ham roast or Boston Butt roast cooked all day in the slow cooker makes great pulled Pork or the world's Best barbeque when you add your own special sauce! Don't forget to look through our recipe collection and find just what you need for a meal in the coming weeks. Of course our recipe collection is all about PORK! If you find a recipe you like, we have copies we can give you. We invite you to visit our website (which still needs updating) www.hillsideheritagefarm.com and also ask you to join us on Facebook. Our entire family looks forward to getting to know each of you. John Contini VVF CONFECTIONS Fayette County John and I will be at the market this Saturday. Thanks Marianne Swintosky VVF Confections

LA PETITE CREPERIE Fayette County La Petite Crêperie brings a little taste of France to the Bluegrass The idea for opening a walk-up crêperie was hatched many years ago when I was a student in France. After discovering crêpes 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 crêpe 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 crêpes. 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 crêpes to our friends, family and my French students, we think we've hit on a good combination. La Petite Crêperie hopes to recreate the experience of ordering a French crêpe à 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 crêpe fillings include honey and jam from Farmers' Market vendors, and the butter and sugar crêpes are made with homemade butter from the market. We also make a hearty breakfast crêpe with market eggs, cheese and vegetables. Our menu will vary as other fruits, berries and vegetables come into season. La Petite Crêperie 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 appétit! THREE TOADS FARM Clark County Visit us at the Lexington Farmers' Market on Saturdays. We'll have cut lilies, sunflowers, lisianthus, jams and jellies. Feel free to give us a call (859-771-2085) if you have questions or want to reserve flowers. We can deliver them locally, too.
