Week of July 14

The bounty continues! Come get fresh, locally grown tomatoes, corn, beans, zucchini, onions, potatoes and lots of other items. We have been presenting recipes for theses veggies over the last few weeks. Here are a few more:

Cheese Cauliflower
Fried Corn
Garlic Green Beans

We go to a farmers market to get great tasting produce, but we also go to suppor our local farmers. Here is an interesting article that you might like to read on Kentucky Farms and Foods.

Most of the markets have a vendor selling locally produced honey.

A 4-H group called "Be the 'E'" (as in entrepreneur) is selling fresh cut flower bouquets created from flowers in Horticulture's cut flower trial going on here at the Durr Center on Marshall Rd. This 4-H group is raising money to take a trip to the Longaberger Basket Factory. A freshly cut flower bouguet really brightens up a table or some other spot in your home, or can bring a smile to someone's face. Get a bouquet today and support this group!

Drying is another preservation method that, once complete, consumes no electricity to retain. Reduce that carbon footprint!

You might be lucky enough to find some peaches this week. There were plums available last week, as well as blackberries. Raspberries will soon be here. Freezing these is a great way to preserve!

Stay cool and hope for a some rain. We need our fruits and veggies to keep coming on for us!
