BLUE MOON FARM***Sustainably Grown***
Madison County
Saturday's the day!!!!! April 9th!!! The rain in the forecast has been moved to afternoon, so we'll be looking for you all between 7:30 AM and 2:30PM on Short Street behind the Lexington History Museum!!! Be there or be square!!! The first BABY GREEN GARLIC of the year.....remember how yummy it is?? We'll have our recipe sheet to give you ideas of how to use it, but you don't need a recipe! Just chop into any place you would use onion or garlic....salads, soups, stews, sauces. Saute some in olive oil to top your burger or steak, or your cheese sandwich!!
Horseshoe Bend Mushrooms in Bracken Co. will stock us up with their beautiful fresh OYSTER MUSHROOMS which would be great in the green garlic saute!
Personally, I am very much looking forward to getting my hands on a GARLIC BAGEL, warm from the ovens at Sunrise Bakery.....the stash in our freezer has been gone a long time!
We'll also be bringing GARLIC SCAPE PESTO, our own "knock-your-socks-off" GARLIC POWDER, regular and SMOKED (by LFM's own Chef Jacob of Cookin' Up KY). Stone Cross Farm's terrific PORK in all shapes and sizes, Colcord Farm's Grass Finished BEEF, Kenny's Farmhouse CHEESES (a couple of new ones, too!), Sunrise Bakery's ARTISAN BREADS and PASTRIES (Mmmmm..CINNAMON BUNS), Bourbon Barrel Foods SOY, WORCESTERSHIRE and KENTUCKYAKI sauces, Bourbon Smoked Salt, Pepper and Paprika, and more! And don't forget the lovely handmade SOAPS from Stone Cross Farm.
We'll start bringing HERB SETS as the weather allows....if there's anything you're especially looking for and would like to reserve, please drop us a line and we'll be glad to put an order together for you!
We are so excited about the start to the new season! Can't wait to see you all and hear of your winter adventures!

"Local Raw Honey" by NICK and BEV NICKELS Fayette County The 2011 season for the outdoor Lexington Farmer's Market is fast approaching. The outdoor market begins April 9th downtown at Cheapside Park and April 10 on Southland Drive. We will be at both markets when they open, so come on out and replenish your local honey and pollen supplies. You may still purchase honey, pollen, and/or beeswax candles from us anytime from our home at 1909 Nicholasville Road in Lexington until we return to the Lexington Farmer's Market in April of 2011. Call us first at 859 276-0258, and we will put what you want on our back porch for you to pick up. You may also call to make an appointment to look at Bev's candle selection. Out home is located one block north (toward downtown) of the intersection of Southland Drive and Nicholasville Road. Turn on Goodrich Avenue and take the first driveway on your right, and you will be in our back yard. There will be a silver travel trailer (Airstream) under an awning directly in front of you. Your honey will be on the back porch. If we are not home, just leave the money on the counter. There is change in a small jar on the counter if you need some.

MEATS and POULTRY our inventory of grassfed Angus organic beef has been restocked, along with a full selection of certified organic hens and packs of cut-up chicken pieces: breasts, thighs, legs, wings, half-hens, whole hens, Cornish hens, chicken liver, and both ground chicken and ground turkey. Feel free to order ahead for quantity amounts, and we'll have it ready for pickup at any of the farmers markets.
EGGS we offer our certified organic eggs from free-ranging hens on grass pasture each market. Both whole dozen and half-dozens available. Our hens are always outdoors, enjoying the green growing spring season and rewarding us with beautiful big brown eggs packed full of flavor, orangy color, and healthful omega-3-fatty acids.
Growing your own this season? Try some Elmwood Stock Farm COMPOST, available at each market, 12 quart bags for $5. Add a little when building raised beds, incorporate some to the root zone when planting seeds or transplanting live plants, or just scatter some on top of the soil for perennial plants, trees, and houseplants. Add some microbial life to your soil!

BLEUGRASS CHEVRE
Fayette/Clark County
The weather is looking great, and we'll see you at the market with loads of cheeses. This season, just think of our market as "a little artisan cheese center." We have a new vendor with cow's milk cheeses, and a sheep milk vendor will be joining us early summer. It's going to be downright exciting!
Cheers,
