"Local Raw Honey" by NICK and BEV NICKELS
Fayette County
We are in the fall season of Lexington Farmer's Market, so come out and stock up for the winter. On Saturday November 12th we will be downtown at Cheapside Park. We will be at the Saturday market unless it rains. Come on out and replenish your local honey, pollen supplies, and beeswax candles.
You may also purchase honey, pollen, and/or beeswax candles from us anytime from our home at 1909 Nicholasville Road in Lexington. 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.

ABIGAIL'S
Fayette County
THIS WILL BE MY LAST SATURDAY FOR THE SEASON. PETER WILL BE MANNING THE BOOTH.
I HAVE MOVED!!!!! RIGHT ACROSS FROM ELMWOOD STOCK FARM OR KREIGLE FARM CLOSE TO SHORT ST. SEE YOU THIS WEEKEND.
STOCKING STUFFERS - LIP BALMS, HONEY BEARS, SOAP, PEPPERMINT FOOT BALM, GIFT CERTIFICATES, MYSTERY BOOKS AND MORE!!!!!!!
HONEY - More fall honey. I will have 1lb and 8 oz sqeezable bottles plus something new. A teeny honey bear - just right for stocking stuffers.
HAND BALMS - If you are storing up on soaps, you probably should go ahead and get your hand balms for the winter too. LAVENDER, HONEYSUCKLE AND HONEY NATURE (FRAGRANCE FREE) made with all natural ingredients - olive, coconut, canola, and tea tree oils, honey, beeswax and Vitamin E plus essential oils or fragrance. Nothing you can't pronounce or don't know what it is. Put just a little on, spread (goes on a little oily) and let soak in. Will keep your hands wonderfully soft in this bad winter that I think is going to come.
GIFT IDEAS - Yes, it is that time of the year to start getting ready for the holidays. Why not just get the shopping out of the way. Get a gift certificate from Abigail's, or make your own basket with Abigail's hand balms, honey plus my books - very different and unique gift. How about a Lexington Farmers' Market bag stuffed with goodies from Abigail's. Don't worry. My stuff will keep. See you at the market.
SOAPS - LEMONGRASS, SUPERMOIST SOAP, FRENCH VANILLA ALMOND SCRUB, AQUA, HYACINTH, LAVENDER, OATMEAL BODY SCRUB, NOIRE, APPLE CINNAMON, PUMPKIN SPICE, MINT JULEP, BEE POLLEN, AND SUNRISE. I am not making any more soap this year, so soap bars are limited. Just wanted to let you know.
GOING MORE GREEN - We are doing everything we can to go green - so we are reusing clean plastic bags for our customers. Another way we can help our honeybee friends.
DEATH BY DROWNING AND DEATH BY A HONEYBEE have both been placed on USA Book News "Best Book List of 2011" This is quite an honor for a little mystery series about a curious, fat, middle-aged sleuth who sells honey at the local farmers' market in Lexington, KY. Want to thank everyone who purchased a copy and help spread the word about it.
Thank you for a wonderful season. After this Saturday, I will not be attending until next April. If you need something, just order on the website www.abigailkeam.com. You all treat Peter nice this Saturday and I will see you next April. QUARLES DAYLILLIES AND FARM
Shelby County
Winter is approaching and though the summer has passed there's still plenty to keep us busy. We've weaned the spring calves and we're busy trying to get the daylily field ready for the winter. We still need to trim the blackberries and get a few potted plants in the ground that have been sitting patiently since the middle of the summer. We're canning green tomato relish and processing pumpkins for all our breads. We still have lots of beef and breads at the Saturday market as well as winter squashes, kale, mustard greens, collards, turnips and turnip greens. We've got some nice potatoes to go with a chuck roast for some real comfort food. We'll have hot coffee and hot chocolate for sale if you need a little "warming up" while shopping!
Those of you who aren't keen on a traditional turkey for Thanksgiving might want to think outside of the ordinary just a little this year. What about a lovely rump roast cooked to perfection with red potatoes on the side? Or a big juicy ribeye and a stuffed baked potato and a fine salad? Doing something different can cause a new tradition to begin! Follow us on Facebook, visit our website at quarlesfarm.com or give us a call at 502-803-7292.

mswintosky@roodandriddle.com ELMWOOD STOCK FARM Georgetown, KY We will be attending each Saturday farmers market this fall and hope to
see you there too! Yes, we are outdoors until Thanksgiving, so plan ahead
to Eat Locally for your holiday celebrations!
At the Saturday morning downtown market (year-round), we will have a
selection of Certified Organic produce, organic chicken, organic beef,
organic farm eggs, jarred products, dried pantry staples, and much more!
TALKIN' TURKEY? At the farm, our Heritage breed and broad-breasted breed
Certified Organic turkeys are sizing up nicely. Elmwood is one of just a
few farms in the US that grow heritage breed turkeys that are also
Certified Organic, making these holiday turkeys a very special item.
We keep the breeding stock hens and toms here year-round. The American
Livestock Breeds Conservancy recognizes some of our breeds as in danger of
extinction. In order for farms to afford the costs and upkeep of keeping
heritage breed animals without a supporting source of income to offset the
expenses, Slow Food USA is helping to spread the word and promote heritage
breed products as a food source. By creating demand for heritage foods,
then farms can work to produce and maintain heritage breeds such as
Bourbon Red and Narragansett turkeys.
We take pre-orders for Elmwood turkeys either in person at the market or
though email. They are processed at a USDA inspected facility and will be
ready for pickup the weekend prior to Thanksgiving or for December
holidays. Just contact the farm 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.
Certified Organic PRODUCE we are harvesting includes seasonal fall items
such as Potatoes, Onions, Garlic, Beets, Savoy Cabbage, Swiss Chard,
Celery, Leeks, Daikon and other Radishes, Kale, Collard and Mustard
Greens, and Fall Squashes of Acorn, Sweet Dumpling, Butternut, Stripetti,
Buttercup, and Spaghetti.
MEAT and POULTRY We have restocked our inventory of grass-fed Angus
organic beef, along with a full selection of certified organic hens and
cut-up chicken pieces. In addition, we have chicken liver and ground
chicken. Feel free to order ahead for quantity amounts or a particular
cut for that special meal, and we'll have it ready for pickup at any of
the farmers markets. View our website for special Beef & Chicken Bundles,
popular this time of year going into cold-weather baking and stew season.
EGGS We offer each market our certified organic eggs from free-ranging
hens who live outdoors on grass pasture. Both whole dozen and half-dozens
available. Our hens are always outside, enjoying the green growing grass &
clover and rewarding us with beautiful big brown eggs packed full of
flavor, orangey color, and healthful omega-3-fatty acids.
These days, more than ever, it's important to know the source of your
family's food and you can look to our local organic farm to meet your
body's nutritional needs resulting in good health. Visit our website to
learn more, review our price lists, pre-order your special items, or to
contact Elmwood for more information.

CAFFEMARCO Bourbon County "Fair Trade, organic, hand-crafted, and utterly delicious." -The Lexington Herald-Leader I pulled over and cut the engine. Slumped beside me in the passenger seat, the famous mystery writer, lecturer and bee expert. I needed to gather my wits. Some evil was afoot and the Lexington Farmers Market will never be the same if we can't solve this one. Something had happened to the famous LFM street musicians. Those artists and free spirits who make our commercial arena such a joyful, musical place. Something, perhaps sinister, was plucking them from amongst us making the marketplace less gay. I needed most urgently to consult one of the keener minds around town when it concerned anything murky or criminal, but, oh, here she is, awakening somewhat from her honey-induced stupor. " it's the cold weather " she said and fell back asleep.

FOREVER FAMILY FARM Madison County Though we haven't made it to the Lexington Farmers' Market as much as we would have liked this season, you can still celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with one of our turkeys! The turkey price is $3.90 / lb. for turkeys under 18 pounds and $3.75 / lb. for turkeys over 18 pounds. Most of the birds will be around 20 pounds. The breed is broad breasted bronze. Folks can call Bryce at 859.661.1501 or email at bryce@stewardsoftheland.com. I'll plan on being at the Saturday market during the month of November for folks to pick up their birds. Boone Creek Creamery Handmade Artisan Cheese We were recently featured in the Lexington Herald-Leader. To read the article follow this link: http://www.kentucky.com/2011/09/29/1901107/lexington-cheese-maker-becomes.html 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

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! HOME PICKINS Jackson County I'll have plenty of delicious fresh eggs and hormone free, free range hens. I also have fresh picked potatoes and wonderful flower arrangements. Come see me this Saturday at Cheapside Park. Thank You for your support! Remember to visit our website at http://www.lexingtonfarmersmarket.com for more information about the market.
