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 shallots, 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 Saturday mornings until noon. For socially distant delivery to your car, you can pre-order through the Local Food Marketplace and pick up from the farmers' market on Thursdays. We accept SNAP, WIC, and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Vouchers and Double Dollars! We hope you'll stop by our booth!

And now, some of our items are available at the Salad Days Farm Store. Our friends at Salad Days Farm have set up a convenient little on-farm store at their farm here in Woodford County. It operates on a help-yourself model and is stocked with fresh vegetables and other foods grown and produced both by them and by other local farms.
