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!

ABIGAIL'S HONEY
Clover Honey is just now being harvested and is recently bottled. This is as fresh as it gets! Also, see me for more information about adopting a hive and know that you can always purchase "Death By Drowning" at the market.
Kentucky produces over 30 different honeys and the US- 300 different honeys. Abigail's honey is a varietal honey that is raw which means it has been strained but not filtered - so it will have lots of good stuff in it. We do not heat our honey. There are no pesticides used on plants that the bees harvest nectar so you are getting a wonderful pure product.

QUARLES FARM
Shelby County
Parades, red, white and blue streamers, swimming pools, fireworks. All makes you think of July 4th. So does hamburgers, steaks, brats and the smell of wholesome food grilling in your back yard. Quarles Farm is ready to help you with your July 4th menu by having a great selection of meats ready for the grill as well as breads, cakes and other value added products. We should have pickled beets back in our line of great eats this weekend as well as corn relish. Try adding some corn relish to your potato salad this weekend! Makes a flavorful addition.

BLUEGRASS CHEVRE
Fayette/Clark County
We'll have a bigger selection of chevre for the holiday weekend, plus feta with sundried tomatoes and basil to go with all the luscious tomatoes at the market. Feta makes a fabulous Caprese salad, maybe even tastier than mozzarella, and you can get every ingredient at the market, including the olive oil. (We are so lucky to have such a diverse market!)
We've been kind of low key and experimental with the sorbetto so far, but we purchased a gigantic blackboard this week to promote it and we are ready to expand. Hopefully, you can't miss it, and we'll have fresh raspberry again and another fruit flavor ... maybe ginger peach or blackberry with chevre, depending on what's available at the market tomorrow. So far, the raspberry has been the hands-down favorite flavor.
Don't forget Lucy has award-winning honey and old-fashioned sorghum. Doesn't a holiday weekend call for a special breakfast with hot biscuits, real butter and sorghum? With fresh eggs from the market?
We'll be on the Farm Tour again this year, and we have twice as many goats (We've added lots more Alpines), so be sure and get your tickets at the market this weekend. There are so many colors now, it's dizzying! And we still have some bottle babies that are so cute.
Come and enjoy a festive weekend at the market with us.
Cheers!

Boone Creek Creamery
Handmade Artisan Cheese
Boy are we glad that Spring is finally here, and we're excited to introduce our handmade cheeses to the Lexington Farmer's Market. This week we will have several cheeses available but be sure you check out our traditional Amish Cup Cheeses and our bourbon infused Kentucky Derby.
Boone Creek Creamery specializes in Old World cheeses that are often difficult to find - wonderful cheeses like Lancashire, Stilton, Cheshire, Wensleydale, Pyrenees, Cantal, or Beaufort. Of course we've added our own touch to create some new classics like our Ginger Stilton, Tuscan Sun, Abbey Road, and our exclusive Coffee Gouda.
You won't see hydraulic presses and fancy modern equipment in our micro-creamery. Instead, we make our cheeses by hand using traditional European techniques to protect the delicate curds. This is a lot more work and very time consuming, but we believe it creates better cheeses with rich complex flavors. We hope you agree.
Our cheese is made from all natural JD Country Milk, a family owned Mennonite dairy farm in Logan County. The cows are pasture grazed and never given any antibiotics or hormones. Instead they are fed a vitamin enriched diet and all the grass they can eat. The milk is not homogenized and is pasteurized at just 145 degrees, then quickly cooled to preserve the natural flavor and enzymes that Mother Nature intended. We think the milk tastes better because the cows are happy.
We also offer cheese making classes, supplies, and equipment. For details, call or visit our website.
