" hand-crafted, Fair Trade, certified organic, and utterly delicious " - The Lexington Herald-Leader Trieste, Italia, which claims a coffee roasting tradition going back to 1683 and the defeat of the Turks at the Battle of Vienna is the birthplace of CaffeMarco. The inspiration, the respect, and the exhilaration are all there - and they can be felt and recognized in the first cup of coffee. The passion and the attention are evident. This is our tradition. In downtown Paris Kentucky, roasting the finest arabica coffee beans in a ten pound coffee roaster and using the proven and traditional methods, Mark Newberry keeps the inspiration of Trieste alive and well. Possessing a palate from his years in the San Francisco wine trade, he understood the art of blending different grapes to make a better wine. Various winegrapes complement each other to create a more complex wine, a more memorable and satisfying glass of wine. Coffee beans, he discovered, are similar agriculturally and culinarily, so blending coffee beans from different regions of the world produce a finer cup of coffee. Blending, in the wine trade, is considered an art. You can enjoy some of the artfully produced coffees here at the Lexington Farmers Market. Black Bag - mellow, soulful dark roast Brown Bag - Caffe Journey Gold Bag - Marco's Finest Plus a Breakfast Blend. ( Blue Bag ) and, a water-processed Decaf ( Green Bag ) All coffees are roasted on Thursday for the Saturday Market. Thank you.
CAIN'S STRAWBERRIES

At Cain's Strawberries we bring only the ripest, juiciest, oh-so-good strawberries from our farm in Madison County to you. Out in Bybee (That's right "Bybee" is the little town we are from), we don't use pesticides to ensure a beautify berry. Instead we use love and attention and farming wisdom passed down through the years. Make your Memorial Day truly memorable with a quart of our sweet strawberries. -William and Gladys Cain

Everyone is welcoming the late spring this year. We appreciate seeing so many familiar faces returning to the markets on Saturday and Sunday outdoors. We will continue to attend each week, rain or sun or something in between - hope to see you as well! We've had great feedback on our jarred Salsa, Ketchup, and Marinara Sauce, all professionally packed in BPA-free glass. We'll continue to offer these items each week until sold out - and we'll be planting enough for a bumper crop of organic tomatoes this summer to restock the pantry. NEW, NEW We have found a professional charcutier to make delicious sausages and bratwursts for us from Elmwood organic beef. It has been several years since we had our all-beef sausages to offer, and we are really excited about these tasty and high quality offerings. 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. MEAT and POULTRY We have restocked our inventory of grass-fed Angus organic beef, along with our certified organic whole chickens, cut-up chicken pieces, and flavorful hearty stewing hens. In addition, we have chicken liver and ground turkey. 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, and other quantities packages. 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.

Peaches! Peaches! Peaches! Our sweet juicy peaches are ripe for the pickin'. Good every day, all day! Even help soothe your afternoon hunger pangs with Mrs. Mary's tree-ripened peaches! No need to reach for the vending machine change, instead sink your teeth into some peachy goodness. And while you're at it, get enough for the entire office or even your crabby great-great-great uncle John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. These peaches are so tasty they'll even put a smile on his face!

Wow, thanks so much to everyone who took home flowers last week! It was an amazing day and we sold out much faster than we ever anticipated. Hope they helped make your Memorial Day just a bit sweeter.
This week we will have a very limited amount of cut flowers it looks like. The beautiful coral 'Gluwhein' may give us enough blooms to bring. The Sweet Peas are just beginning to bloom and we hope to be able to bring a few bunches of these fragrant beauties over the next few weeks. We are setting out Lisianthus and will have a few six packs of blue, blue blush, white and rose.
By the way, if you know someone who's planning a wedding and values fresh, fabulous and locally grown seasonal flowers, we hope you'll send them our way.
Thanks again for your support and we sure hope to see you Saturday.
