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 Thursday and Saturday mornings until noon. 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 hope you'll stop by our booth!

And check out our new online shop for local deliveries!
