"Baby, take a chance with me, baby, take a chance with me." the singer begged. "Not likely, mate," replied our Princess. It had been a wearying week already. Three horses at Churchill Downs vanquished, inferior cakes consumed, coldish autumn weather turning snowy and Jack having lost his ardor apparently, I'm ready to return to that airy, sensual, smoky, coffee-obsessed hide-away in Paris, on the Rue Jacob and forget my myself after a few bowls of CaffeMarco. Life provides much; I just wouldn't know it on my own.

HAND BALMS
DON'T FORGET YOUR HANDS THIS WINTER. Get my Lavender or Honeysuckle hand balms to protect your skin. Also comes fragrance free.
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
I will have the last of the Comb Honey for this year at the Market. It makes a great Thanksgiving Day treat or house gift.
When does honey go bad? I used to tell people - never, but have since learned that if a yeast spore gets into the honey - that will cause the honey to ferment. Otherwise honey stays fresh for centuries - theoretically.
What to do when honey crystallizes - put jar on dashboard of car on sunny day and let the sun re-liquefy it.

After the Market, come to Frankfort for the Kentucky Book Fair from 9am to 4pm in Frankfort. I will be there signing books and my husband, Peter, will be manning my booth at the Farmer's Market.
See you at the Market this weekend.
"FRESH LOCAL HONEY" by NICK and BEV NICKELS
Fayette County
We WILL at the Lexington Farmers' Market downtown on Saturday, November 13th. The Farmers' Market on at Southland Drive concluded Sunday, October 31st.
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. Web Site www.KentuckyHoney.com

Greetings! It is a bittersweet moment, but we regret to inform you that our offerings for the year have been depleted. We revel in the fact that our mouth watering produce arrived earlier and departed later than any other market season since we have participated, but this is it for us. Thank you so much for all of your support and love in the historic 2010 Lexington Farmer's Market season. We anxiously anticipate providing our pesticide free, 100% homegrown goodness to all of you in April of 2011. Thanks for a great year and happy holidays!

HILLSIDE HERITAGE FARM
Garrard County
Sorry for not being there last week. Too many irons in the fire for the family! We will be there this week with a full assortment of products - Dorthy is going to Boones' today to pick up pigs I took two weeks ago.
We should have most everything this week, but we are low on bacon - so come early. 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.
This has been a great season and we have really enjoyed getting to know so many of you.

TURKEYS we are still taking pre-orders for Elmwood certified organic heritage and traditional broad-breasted turkeys. Due to outstanding demand the last few years, we have more available this season. We suggest ordering now for Thanksgiving or your December holiday celebration.
The turkeys are processed at KY's small USDA inspected certified organic facility outside Bowling Green and will be ready for pickup the weekend prior to Thanksgiving - Saturday Nov. 20th.

SCHEDULE Elmwood Stock Farm will be set up on Saturday mornings at the outdoor Cheapside Park market through Thanksgiving. We then move indoors inside the Victorian Square Shoppes Saturdays during December (not Christmas Day or New Years Day, however).

BlueMoon Farm ***Sustainably Grown***
Madison County
We would like to thank our friends and acquaintances at the Lexington Farmers' Market for a great year. You will not find our booths at the market anymore in 2010, and we will miss seeing you all! This Saturday we will venture over to Louisville to set up one time only at the Bardstown Road Farmers' Market, to be sure our old friends there get the garlic they need to survive the winter! Then comes garlic planting time, which, depending on weather, could go on into December or longer.
We can still arrange delivery of bulk orders of Stone Cross Farm Pork, Garlic Scape Pesto and more, as we will be travelling to Lexington once a week all winter to deliver to restaurants. Please don't hesitate to drop us an email anytime and we'll be happy to put something together for you to stock your freezer, or for your family holiday celebrations!
We will be posting our "Not Your Average" Cranberry Sauce recipe again in a couple of weeks. It's a fantastic complement to a turkey (or pork!) dinner. Stay tuned!
By the way, if you're dining at Dudley's and craving some Blue Moon Farm garlic, try the Blue Moon Garlic Soup! It's delicious! A creamy, garlicky soup, served with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and a poached duck egg! Yum!
I'm sure we will be running into many of you at Good Foods in the coming months! :-) They are now carrying our Garlic Scape Pesto in stock.
Windy Corner Market (corner of Muir Station and Bryan Station Rds.) also has the pesto in stock. Take a short drive out there for a delicious lunch or dinner, and pick up some pesto too!
Thank you again for all your support and encouragement in a less than ideal growing year. It means a lot to us!

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!
