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!
  
• The Chevy Chase Farmers' Market at Apostles Anglican Church, 200 Colony Boulevard
  Lexington, Kentucky. The market is held Wednesday mornings from 8 until noon. We will be at Chevy Chase on an occasional basis; stay tuned for our schedule.

Summer Flavors Year-Round

From Roasted Tomatillo Salsa and Lizzie's Chow Chow to Sage & Thyme Butternut Pickles and Pomodoro Tomato Jelly, 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 and herbs 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.

Stay tuned for a range of preserves throughout the year!
