Our Offerings

We grow a range of versatile and flavorful crops that fill in gaps in the basic farmers' market fare. From fresh cut herbs and edible flowers to onions, celery, and tomatillos, we aim to make your tastebuds smile!

It's hard to beat eating and cooking with fresh herbs and vegetables in season, but what about when you're short on time or don't have fresh produce handy? We carefully season and preserve what we grow in the form of sauces, relishes, pickles, and jellies for those times when you need a shortcut to a quick. flavorful meal. Our preserves bring a vibrant burst of summer to your table any time of year!

During the farmers' market season, you can find us at:

• The Franklin County Farmers' Market at Frankfort's Riverside Park Pavilion on Thursday and Saturday mornings until noon. We accept SNAP, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Vouchers and Double Dollars!
• The Anderson County Old Depot Farmers’ Market in Lawrenceburg. It’s a unique market located in an old train depot, and is open Friday 12pm to 6pm, Saturday 9am to 3pm, and Sunday 12pm to 3pm.

We hope you'll stop by our booth!

We also provide produce to Good Foods Co-op in Lexington, KY and The Glitz restaurant in Nonesuch, KY--just down the road from us at Irish Acres Antiques.

Summer Flavors Year-Round

From Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and Curried Tomato Sauce to Sage and Thyme Butternut Pickles and Lizzie's Chow Chow, we carefully craft our preserves both from time-tested recipes passed from generation to generation and from fresh and flavorful recipes farmer Abbie and chef Kevin develop in our own kitchen. Dandelion Ridge Farm vegetables, seasoned with our own Chef Kevin Archer's Zelda & Bramble Superlative Seasonings, bring you shortcuts to deliciousness in every jar!

We also offer sun-dried tomatoes and other dried specialty items that we make from the crops we grow.
