Once
they had settled in ... well, hardly - once they had the coffee pot and the
kettle unpacked, Jack was sent into town to visit CaffeMarco.
The
streets, not as tidy as those at home, the citizens, not as tidy, either, but,
the seductive aroma of a dark roast in progress kept our man Jack on his happy
task.
For

"FRESH LOCAL HONEY" by NICK and BEV
NICKELS
Fayette County
We WILL BE at the Lexington Farmer's Market downtown on
Saturday, October16th and on Southland Dr. on Sunday, October 17th
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.

Just 3 more Sundays
at Southland. Stock up!
Sorry that I was not at
Southland last Sunday but sold plum out of honey. Will have plenty this
coming week.
FALL SOAP
It's time to stock up wood and do those last minute
tasks before cold weather shows up. The trees are showing color and fall
is in full bloom. Time for my Chocolate Amber Soap and Pumpkin Spice Soap
which are great fall soaps. Just made a new batch of Mint Julep and Forest
Green. Also will have Sandalwood, Hyacinth, Supermoist, Oatmeal Body
Scrub, the last of Spring Rain and Flowing
River.
HONEY
People
are starting to stock up honey for winter. I will have plenty of honey
this week. It will be an amber clover with some ironweed, sunflower and
goldenrod nectar as well as all the summer flower nectar in it. Great
honey for allergy sufferers to take. This will be the last type of honey
for the year.
We have some 12 lb honeys jugs for those who
store over winter.
What
to do when honey crystallizes - put jar on dashboard of car on sunny day and
let the sun re-liquefy it.
NEWS FROM
THE RIVER BLOG - for pictures click on
The
WEG people are gone now, so you can come back to the Market at your regular
hours. I met some interesting people of the past three weeks and thought Lexington looked
great. I am very proud of our city and its people did a wonderful job
hosting.
I
went to Nashville
last week to speak about fiction writing at the Southern Humanities Book
Festival. I met other writers and courtly southern gentlemen whose
manners were impeccable. Click on my blog to see pictures.
See
you at the Market this weekend!

HILLSIDE HERITAGE FARM
Garrard County
*PLEASE NOTE Because of the Race for the
Cure, Hillside Heritage Farm will be set up on Short St. this Saturday. Look for the
orange and white truck.
Hello
everyone. I am sorry I was not there
last week. Maria and Clay had to
work. Dorthy and Hannah were in Missouri at a Family
Reunion. Boone's didn't have my bacon
ready. So, I took the day off. I really wasn't up to driving up there with
my leg anyway.
Unless
there is a change in what Boone's told me, we will have bacon, and pork chops
(bone in and boneless) this week. We
should have most everything else as well.
We are still selling lots of Brats and Italian Sausage for cooking on
the grill, as well as a whole lot of pork chops. As the weather cools, it seems that more of
you are interested in Breakfast sausage - we have plenty. Get something that you can cook in the crock
pot so that you don't have to cook all day.
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.

3
weekends left for garlic!!
Last
Saturday morning I took our dogs for a walk at about 3:30AM before leaving for
the market. It was a beautiful fall morning (night!) very cool, and quite
dark with no moon at all. As we wandered out the driveway I realized that
there was absolutely NO sound! I guess it was cold enough that the frogs
in the pond had buried themselves in the mud. The crickets were eerily
still too. No airplanes were going over, no cars or tractors moving
around. We stopped walking and just stood and listened, and I thought
about all of you who live in Lexington
and how you never get to hear that.....silence. It is amazing.
This
Saturday the Race for the Cure will take place in downtown Lexington. Access to the market from
7AM-11AM could be tricky, and we suggest approaching from north of Short St., as Main and Vine will be closed, as well as Short, High, and
Limestone. On the up side, the market shouldn't be too crowded!
:-) Of course you also have the alternative of
shopping at the Sunday market on Southland Drive from 10AM-2PM. The
weekend weather looks perfect again, and with luck maybe we will even
have had a little rain before then!
The
BELL PEPPERS continue to flourish! Time to make SAUSAGE and PEPPERS....
one of my favorite New York
dishes! We've got great Stone Cross Farm ITALIAN SAUSAGE (hot or sweet),
as well as the PEPPERS and GARLIC! Here's a link to a great NY
recipe http://www.squidoo.com/SausageandPeppersRecipe
If you look at the whole page you will find sausage for sale, and you can see
that it contains MSG and a few other additives. All our sausages are
MSG and nitrate-FREE!! (not to mention that ours cost about $10 a pound
less!)
We'll
have lots of other sausages too, BREAKFAST LINKS, CHORIZO and ENGLISH
BANGERS, BRATWURST, POLISH SAUSAGE and KNOCKWURST (hotdogs). There's also
SMOKED BACON, PORK CHOPS, ROASTS, and GROUND PORK!
Now
that the weather is cooling off, many of you are beginning to stock your home
freezers with pork and BEEF for the winter. We carry Colcord Farm GRASS
FINISHED BEEF. These steers are totally grass-fed.....never fed any
grain....just the way nature intended. We'll have STEAKS, ROASTS, BURGER
and FILETS.
The
response to Kenny's Farmhouse seasonal variety "CHEDDAR / APPLE"
was amazing last week! We completely sold out, and had to disappoint many
of our Sunday shoppers. We've got a big supply in now, so everybody who
wants some can get it this weekend. Stop by and try a sample! Lots
of other varieties too.
BASIL BASIL, BASIL!!!
We will have it in "pesto quantity" this weekend! Get it before
the frost hits us! It's easy to freeze in ice cube trays....after
it's frozen pop the cubes out into a freezer bag. When you're making
spaghetti sauce this winter, drop in a frozen cube or two.....a nice taste
of summer!
GARLIC
BRAIDS for gifts, decoration, or eating! GARLIC SCAPE PESTO! Keep a
few containers in your freezer for quick and easy dips when company drops by,
or to use as seasoning in your favorite dishes....everything from green beans
to steak! Try it as a sandwich topping to perk up a lunch box. Our
"knock-your-socks-off" GARLIC POWDER makes the best oven roasted
fries you ever tasted! The recipe comes on the package! Also
available HICKORY
SMOKED. To make your own rubs, mix our garlic powder with our GROUND
CHIPOTLE PEPPER, or SPICY PAPRIKA, and maybe a little Bourbon Barrel SMOKED SEA
SALT. Good on chicken, pork or beef!
We'll
have other Bourbon Barrel Foods products too! WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE-
vegetarian friendly (no anchovies), SOY SAUCE- aged in bourbon barrels, KENTUCKYAKI-
their yummy teriyaki. SWEET or BOURBON VANILLA SORGHUM, and Bourbon
Smoked SALT , PEPPER and PAPRIKA.
Sunrise
Bakery will be supplying us with all your favorite ARTISAN BREADS, PASTRIES,
MUFFINS, BAGELS and more! We have items you can't get at the
bakery! Come have a look!
Don't
forget- Blue Moon's last week at the market will be October 31st!!
Market
weather just doesn't get any better than this! Come stroll around and
enjoy the day. We'll be glad to see you! Special order? garlic@bluemoongarlic.com

BlEUGRASS CHEVRE
Fayette/Clark County
We plan to be at both the Saturday and Sunday markets if all is well in
the goat maternity ward on both mornings. As farmer's crops wind down, it's
time for us to start all over again with new babies and lots of fresh
milk.
Let us know if you need anything special - such as chocolate chevre - which has
taken on a life of its own!

ELMWOOD STOCK FARM
Scott County
Look for Elmwood moving "under
cover" in the Pavilion 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:
We'll have certified organic 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.

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! Remember
to visit our website at http://www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.com for more
information about the market. If
