Oliva Bella

"Capers, and eggplant, and chocolate, oh my! Dorothy wouldn't have run away from these tasty items, and neither will you. They are just a few of the wonderful ingredients in our new Caponata. It's base on an Sicilian recipe, and has been a huge hit since we started making it about a month ago. Stop by the Oliva Bella booth at this Saturday's market and give it a try.
While you are there you can also sample our delicious Italian extra virgin olive oils and Balsamico. We look forward to seeing you!"

BLUE MOON FARM***Sustainably Grown*** Madison County Our GARLIC SCAPES were our hottest seller last Saturday, while they lasted! There will be more this week, Siberian and Belarus. Get some of each and do a taste test! You could be the only Derby party in town serving Garlic Scapes!! :-) They are so great steamed in with ASPARAGUS, and there should be lots of that this weekend too, from our friends at Colcord Farm in Paris. We also sold out of our MIXED LETTUCES and SPRING MIX last weekend, but with this nice warm weather and some much, much needed rain this week, we'll have lots more for your Derby parties and dinner salads. There will be ARUGULA from Nicholas Co. to eat alone or mix in, and our BABY GREEN GARLIC to chop on top. We'll have some FRESH LEEKS too. Colcord Farm has put some pre-formed GROUND BEEF PATTIES in our freezer. They're great for singles, as you don't need to thaw the whole pound of ground beef to make one burger! I can just taste one with sauteed BABY GREEN GARLIC and SHIITAKE or OYSTER MUSHROOMS on top, and maybe a little cheese melted over...we'll have all kinds of Kenny's KY MADE CHEESES...JACK, SWISS, CHEDDAR, GOUDA, BLEU and many more. FRESH CUT CILANTRO!!! Baby leaves so tender you can use them stem and all. If you usually buy your cilantro at a supermarket, you owe it to yourself to try some that's really fresh. The smell and flavor are far superior! You'll never go back! We make a cilantro pesto to use on pasta, chicken or fish.....outstanding! The STEAK SALE continues! We sell Colcord Farm GRASS FINISHED BEEF. These animals have never eaten grain, only grass, as nature intended! The steaks are RIBEYE, NY STRIP, SIRLOIN and FILET, and they are all 30% off the regular price. In addition we'll have GROUND BEEF, GROUND ROUND, CHUCK and RUMP ROASTS, and the previously mentioned PATTIES. We've got Bourbon Barrel Foods Worcestershire Sauce, Kentuckyaki or Bourbon Smoked PEPPER and PAPRIKA to season your beef when you're broiling or grilling. Our market neighbor Roland will be back this week with the first Kentucky TOMATOES....hydroponics from Lee Co. They're delicious and go great with steak and burgers, and make great salsa with the cilantro! Stone Cross Farm makes wonderful HANDMADE SOAPS in 9 different varieties, as well as producing great PORK products. We carry CHOPS, SAUSAGES of many kinds including nitrate-free hot dogs, BACON, ROASTS and more. Have you tried one of our GARLIC BAGELS yet? They come to us from Sunrise Bakery around 9AM, warm from the ovens. Stop down in the pavilion and see Susan at Bluegrass Chevre for some soft goat cheese to spread on your bagel for a can't-be-beat breakfast! There will be lots of other ARTISAN BREADS including HERB & CHEESE and GARLIC -TOPPED FOCACCIA. For your sweet tooth, ARTISAN PASTRIES including CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS, CINNAMON ROLLS and yummy MUFFINS. Are you planting an herb garden this year? We have lots of HERB SETS to fill it up! The smells are wonderful! Stop by to pinch and sniff! You can find us behind the old courthouse/Lexington History Museum on Short Street from 7 until around 2:30, and on Sunday we're on Southland Drive in front of Goodyear from 10-2. Hillside Heritage Farm Garrard County Hillside Heritage Farm once again thanks all of our customers who came out on this past weekend. The truck will be re-stocked with all of our delicious cuts of pork and sausages. We had bacon at Boone's which I will be picking up later this week - so don't despair there should be plenty of bacon! Remember, all of our pork is raised by our family on our family farm in Garrard County. This is an exciting time around the farm. The turnips, rape and clover that we planted about a 6 weeks ago is up and growing with the recent rain. The piglets are everywhere, getting in to everything. There is no way on a pasture based hog farm to keep baby pigs in. We will be at the Saturday market and hope tom see you all there. This weekwe will not be at the Sunday market! Clay is garduating from Berea College on Sunday and we cannot not miss this historic day. We hope to see you all this coming weekend. John Contini

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 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 will have the following:
-Heirloom and hybrid tomato transplants, multiple varieties
-Baby lettuce mix
-Large basil pots
-Fresh cut mint
We look forward to seeing you at the market!
Proper Plants Russ and Lyn Madison We have lots to do in the greenhouses, so our trip to Farmer's Market on Saturday will be dependent on the weather. We have herb plants, vegetable plants, annuals in several sizes and 5 sizes of hanging baskets. We also have wonderful material to make up your own pots. Remember, during this "iffy" weather, portable containers, (pots, hanging baskets, etc.) are a great way to get early color! We have a huge selection of plants at the greenhouses on Military Pike in Lexington. Check out our website for directions, pricing, etc. Come by and shop the greenhouses out of the weather. "Like" us on Facebook for weekly specials to be used at Proper Plants. Happy Spring and hope to see you either at Farmer's Market or at Proper Plants.

Boone Creek Creamery Handmade Artisan Cheese Fayette County Wow, are we excited about the opening of the Market and we're looking forward to seeing all of our old and new customers. We'll be downtown on Saturday and on Southland Drive on Sunday. This week we will be introducing some new cheeses like our American Oak, a cheddar infused with oak barrel aged white wine and our Blackberry Serenade, an alpine Gruyere infused with blackberry wine. Delicious. You'll love our new Finnish Bread Cheese. When served warm, this Scandinavian delicacy is absolutely amazing. And check out three of our cheeses that were recently in the World Cheese Championships. -Kentucky Derby - A cheddar infused with Woodford Reserve to give this cheese a nice oaky finish. -Sassy Redhead - An American style cheddar with whole peppercorns and red pepper flakes, then dusted with red paprika on the top to give it a distinctive "red head". Spicy, but not flaming hot, it leaves a nice glow in your mouth. -Tuscan Sun - A taste of Italy with organic sun dried tomatoes and basil. We also offer cheese making classes, supplies, and equipment. For details, call or visit our website. See you at the Market. Boone Creek Creamery 859-402-2364 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!
