1. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and extracts.=
2. Add flour and salt to the bowl and mix them into the butter-sugar mixture at low speed until dough is just combined. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Preheat oven to 325F.
4. Divide dough in half and keep the portion you are not using in the refrigerator.
5. Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8-inch thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out 2-inch rounds.
6. Place rounds on a baking sheet, put a teaspoon of jam on each of them and cover with another round of dough. Press edges down lightly, pinching the edges onto the cookie sheet. Use a toothpick and poke two small holes (like a vampire bite) in the top of each cookie.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies are set.
8. Cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Dip a toothpick in some extra red jam and re-insert in the "bite" holes you made before baking to emphasize them, if not already red. Draw a blood trick down from one of the bites with the jam, if desired.

Cookies are best the day they are made.

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.

You won't see hydraulic presses and fancy modern equipment around here. 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.

Thanks for your support. See you at the market.

Everyone at Elmwood wants to thank you for your support of local farms and let you know how much we appreciate your attendance at the Lexington Farmers Market week after week.  As the seasons change, we continue to work to offer you the highest quality USDA Certified Organic produce, eggs, and meats that we can.

We will be set up each Saturday downtown (Cheapside Park outdoors through Thanksgiving and Victorian Square indoors all winter long), and each Sunday on Southland Drive through October.

PRODUCE we are offering now includes Green Beans, Beets, Cabbages, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Summer Squash, Fall Squash, Kohlrabi, Leeks, Garlic, Bell Peppers, Hot Peppers, Turnips, Onions, Green Onions, Sweet Potatoes and more as new things are coming on each week.

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, each egg is hand washed and inspected for cracks. 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.  Each hen's diet includes certified organic grain which is non-gmo.

MEAT and POULTRY  Each week we bring a complete inventory of our 100% 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 specialty beef sausages, chicken liver, bones for broth, and even bones for your pet!

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.

HERITAGE TURKEY TIME  We take pre-orders for our holiday turkeys in person at the market or by email.  At Elmwood, we care year-round for our own breeding flock in order to raise Bourbon Red (named after Bourbon County KY), Narragansett (the oldest known American turkey breed), and the Slate turkeys (also found on Slow Food's Ark of Taste that promotes the survival of near-extinct foods).  Stop by the market or email the farm for more details on breeds, sizes and pricing.

ALL TURKEYS are Organic Certified free ranging turkeys that are raised outdoors on grass pasture.  They are raised the old-fashioned way, on fresh green grass and clover pastures with wholesome grains, resulting in moist, flavorful turkey.  Not only are Elmwood turkeys raised naturally, free from any synthetic inputs, flavor additives, or stimulants, but everything that every turkey eats is organically raised grain or grass pasture.  You can taste the difference and you will know you are serving the best!

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 contact Elmwood for more information (scroll up a little for a quick

There's still lots of things going on at the farm even though the garden season is slowing down a little.  New calves dot the pastures and the first fall lamb was born yesterday.  We know our customers have lots of activities to choose from in the in fall but don't forget that there's still lots of great food at the market.  We continue to have the summer vegetables and are starting to add fall vegetables to the tables.  Lettuce mixes, mustard greens, collards, kale and other greens are on the table as well as parsnips.  If you have never tried them I think you'll enjoy the carrot-like flavor. 

  

We still have plenty of succulent beef and lamb cuts in the coolers.  It's turning into chili, stew and roast weather and we have ample supply of each cut.  Want something different for Thanksgiving?  Try leg of lamb or grill up some big ribeyes.  There's nothing that says the meal has to be turkey!  Change it up this year! 

  

Our grill is still smoking at the markets making breakfast and grilling burgers, brats and hot dogs made your way.  There's lots of baked goods on the tables, jams, jellies, salsas and relishes too. 

Follow us on Facebook or visit our website at quarlesfarm.com.  Better yet, stop in at the markets for a chat.  Eat well.  Eat local.
