ABIGAIL'S HONEY
Fayette County
I will be back this coming Saturday. Will be happy to see everyone.
HONEY - I have a limited supply of honey left for the season. A wonderful dark WILDFLOWER HONEY that is good for allergies, baking or just putting on your biscuits.
SOAP - I am making holiday soaps so be looking for them. Have soaps for everybody's taste. Very mild and lather wonderfully.
HAND BALMS - Time to start stocking up on hand balms for winter. Before you know it, the cold will set in and you will need to keep your skin moisturized.
BLUE MOON FARM***Sustainably Grown
Madison County
We have really been enjoying the cooler days at the markets after so many hot and humid ones! The vegetables stay crisp, the basil doesn't wimp out, and the shoppers aren't trying to get done fast so they can get back to air conditioning!! It makes everything a little more leisurely, and conducive to browsing!
We're noticing more PORK and BEEF sales with the cooler weather, too. It's been so cool at night it's nice to run the oven again! The Stone Cross Farm PORK CHOPS, LOIN or TENDERLOIN ROASTS will fill your house with a wonderful aroma while cooking....especially if you sprinkle some GARLIC POWDER or CHIPOTLE on them first....or insert little slivers of FRESH GARLIC right into them. Take some of our BABY LEEKS and chop them into 1 inch sections, or whole bulbs of GARLIC to roast along with the meat.
Our BABY SQUASH MEDLEY makes a beautiful and tasty side dish which is quick and easy to prepare....a quick saute, or steam and a splash of soy sauce to dress, and you're done! If you want to make it fancier, cut up some of our beautiful RED and GREEN BELL PEPPERS to cook in with the squash.
The fresh EGGPLANTS are so gorgeous....they look like they're made of porcelain! And they're so tender and delicious! Slender lavender or white Japanese varieties, or dark purple Italian.
Just imagine the smell of BASIL in the middle of January! It's time to make pesto and freeze it for your winter meals! Our BASIL is beautiful....and we have GENOVESE, THAI, ARARAT (red) and LIME! Lime basil pesto is delicious with fish, chicken or on a burrito! We'll have more FLAT LEAF ITALIAN PARSLEY this week too!
The Bracken County OYSTER MUSHROOMS and SHIITAKES were gorgeous last weekend! We'll have more this week!
All kinds of EUROPEAN SAUSAGES from Stone Cross Farm in Spencer Co. and, BURGER and STEAKS from Colcord Farm in Bourbon County.
ARTISAN BREADS from Sunrise Bakery make good use of our herbs and garlic in the HERB & CHEESE, 8 GRAIN WITH HERBS, and GARLIC-TOPPED FOCACCIA, as well as the yummy GARLIC BAGELS.......if you're lucky in your timing, you'll get one warm from the oven! It's time for you to break down and try a GARLIC CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE before our season at the market is over!
GARLIC BRAIDS made with love by Leo and Jean, and lots of BAGGED GARLIC and loose BULBS. GARLIC SCAPE PESTO, and garlicky CHAMPAGNE DRESSING.
KENTUCKY MADE CHEESES from Kenny's in Barren County, and Bourbon Barrel SOY, WORCESTERSHIRE and KENTUCKYAKI SAUCES from Bourbon Barrel Foods in Louisville. They make great holiday gifts for your loved ones whose favorite place is in the kitchen!
Come enjoy the market this weekend! Saturday downtown at Cheapside Park (7AM-2PM), Sunday on Southland Drive near Goodyear (10AM-2PM).
Henkle's Herbs and Heirlooms Jessamine County If knowing the origin of what you consume is important to you, as it should be, then we are the folks to shop with. EVERYTHING we offer is started from seed and grown by us just 15 miles away at our farm in Nicholasville. We opt to use biological controls and to release beneficial insects like lacewings and lady beetles (We recently released 70,000 of them) instead of spraying with pesticides that kill honey bees and other beneficial predators to create a pest management system that is friendly to the food we bring to market as well as the environment. Look for us and our big box truck at the corner of Short and Upper on Saturday and at Southland Drive on Sunday. All of our offerings are sustainably grown, Kentucky Proud, 100% homegrown, and pesticide free. We are delighted to inform you that we do not sell anything that we do not grow. We will have the following: -Homegrown tomatoes, numerous varieties, mostly heirlooms -Multi colored cherry tomato pints -Heirloom Roma tomatoes, great for sauces and salsa -Fresh cut basil, pounds are available (for pounds, call ahead so that we can accommodate you) -Doyce Chamber's heirloom greasy beans -Fresh cut flat leaf parsley -Multi colored bell peppers, sweet banana peppers, and assorted hot peppers -Numex green chilies for roasting -Eggplant, multiple varieties - If you are unsure how to prepare them, we can offer suggestions and recipe cards -Fresh purslane - Contains more beta carotene than spinach and high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, ask for a recipe card -Fresh, homemade salsa -Our popular Uglies But Goodies We will also be taking orders this Saturday for Velvet's famous heirloom tomato pie, which will be available the following Saturday. Look for our new Henkle's Herbs and Heirlooms page on Facebook! We look forward to seeing you at the market!

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.

(859)684-7555 www.caffemarco.com Boone Creek Creamery Handmade Artisan Cheese This week we will have a limited supply of fresh Mozzarella. It sold out by 9:30 last week, so stop by early. On Labor Day weekend, you can hand stretch your own Mozzarella at the Market, so come join in the fun. Boone Creek Creamery specializes in Old World cheeses that are often difficult to find - wonderful cheeses like Lancashire, Rhapsody En Bleu, Cheshire, Wensleydale, Pyrenees, Cantal, or Beaufort. Of course we've added our own touch to create some new classics like our Ginger Rhapsody, Tuscan Sun, Abbey Road, Wildcat Blue, 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. Boone Creek Creamery 859-402-2364
