Saturday's weather forecast looks downright incredible by our standards. The goats are back to work with plenty of milk, and we will be at the market.

We will have our cheeses at the Market this Saturday.
Our cheese is made from all natural JD Country Milk, a family owned Mennonite 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 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.
This week we will have over a dozen different cheeses available. Stop by and sample our Butterkase (Amish Butter Cheese), Mama Mia, Sassy Redhead, Tuscan Sun, Smoked Cheddar and of course our bourbon infused Kentucky Derby. Oh, and don't miss the Caerphilly, a tangy traditional Welsh coal miners cheese.
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 all winter long! Feel free to phone ahead for special orders.
PRODUCE we are offering now includes Fall Squash, Onions, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes and more. Cold temperatures are a challenge, but a few green items under cover are producing successfully.
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.
BEEF, LAMB and POULTRY Each week we bring a complete inventory of our 100% grass-fed Angus organic beef and our 100% grass fed lamb. We also offer certified organic whole chickens, cut-up chicken pieces, and flavorful hearty stewing hens. In addition, we have specialty beef sausages, chicken liver, beef broth bones, roasts for soups and stews, 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 quantity packages to secure your winter supply of wholesome meats.
PANTRY We are grinding our own heirloom organic corn to offer you non-gmo fresh cornmeal. Other items include dried beans (ying-yang, black turtle, peregion, and red kidney), popcorn, dried tomatoes, and dried chile peppers. We sent our organic tomatoes to be professionally packed into Salsa and Marinara, all available in BPA-free glass jars.
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.

This year the winter has certainly been one to try a person's patience. We're starting seeds for the garden and hoping that we can find weather favorable to prepare ground for planting. In years past we've already had peas, lettuce, beets and many other veggies planted. Not so this year. But rest assured that when the time comes, planting will begin and things will escalate to a frenzy on the farms. Right now our barn is bursting at the seams with new lambs and kids with more still to be born. We're looking for some nice weather and drier pastures to turn the newborns out to become acquainted with the great outdoors.
We continue to be down on Cheapside each Saturday with a good supply of goat, lamb and beef, all raised by us on our farm. This is some of the best meat that you will find in this area. Safely and humanely grown, we do our best to bring you the best. You can try our ground beef in a burger, brat or hot dog straight from the grill at the market. We're also serving breakfast each morning with plenty of hot coffee or chocolate to warm you up.
There's plenty of canned goods on the table; salsas, relishes, jams and jellies. These are canned goods made with wholesome fruits and vegetables, canned with no corn syrup, artificial preservatives or flavorings. Food that tastes good and is good for you. Breads are available each week. They're great for a brunch on Sunday or take one to work on Monday. It'll make the day a little brighter.
Check us out at our website or visit us on Facebook . We try to keep folks up to date on what we're doing and how you're food's grown. Our food is your local connection to healthy eating.
