Unlike what someone else said, the vendors here absolutely do take your credit/debit card; wooden…read moretokens are not necessary as most vendors do Apple Pay etc. If you want to pay $5-$6 for one dozen eggs, this is the place for you! I bought three dozen eggs, two bunches of spring onions, and a cookie and cupcake for my daughter and paid over $30! The sellers really overcharge their customers and cash in on the "organic" "Kentucky grown" concepts. Everything looks great, smells great, and tastes great, but you'll easily pay double to triple what you'd pay at your local grocery stores. The meat is especially outrageously priced (think $15 for just one average sized steak). Vegetables may be organic and locally grown etc. but again, you're paying double to triple what you'd pay in the grocery store. With daily rising costs in gas, food, etc. who has the money to throw away on ridiculously overpriced farmers markets? The original point of a farmers market was to acquire quality locally grown foods at a better rate than the grocery and you're also supporting local business. Greed has really overtaken that and everyone at this market are just making $$$ off the "organic" labels. Definitely not worth going unless you like throwing your money away. I gave it a 2 because the eggs were good quality. However, there was literally zero difference in taste between the farm non-graded eggs and the graded eggs from the local big chain grocery store. Felt ripped off.

I've been buying flowers from them for about a month now. (The secret to keep your flowers alive longer is to add a cup full of vodka to cold water and an ice cube). I change my water on a daily basis using this method and my flowers last a full 7 days). We also stopped at Nate's to get coffee. I got a cold brew with foam and a shot of toasted marshmallow. My friend got a drip coffee and a bagel with spinach artichoke spread. She said it was really good but on the messy side to eat. I also picked up a jar of carrot cake jam from salad days. There were jewelry booths, that included homemade soap, vegetables fruits, baked goods , fresh pasta, different condiments and spices, rubs, beer, cheese, and assortment of beef, chicken,pork, farm fresh eggs and so on. It was busier than normal today but I think that had a lot to do with people graduating and the fact that the previous weekend was derby so people were out of town. The people selling fresh flowers were extra busy because tomorrow is mother's day. We saw a variety of dogs too which is normal. I like that the main area of the market is sheltered so you have protection from the weather elements and shade for when it gets hot in the summer.

Apparently, I am an idiot who does not know how to feel inside a carcass of a turkey for giblets…read moreand a neck. Sarcasm people! How do you miss a neck and giblets in a turkey? Not only did they rob me of my neck and giblets and cut out a chunk of the turkey, most real farms include herbs from their garden for brining. This heritage turkey had absolutely no flavor of game to convince me it was raised wild. I have prepared and roasted goose, duck, and wild turkey for over 20 years for my family, and this farm is not authentic. They are a mass prouder that can't keep their facilities straight enough for quality control! Hello Via, Thanks for your message, I am thinking you are not finding the bag of giblets in your turkey? We use a local USDA butcher to process all of our meats, and he packages the giblets and neck from each turkey and then adds them back into the cavity. The package can be difficult to reach and you may have to try from both ends of the turkey. You will also need to wait until the turkey is completely thawed to reach the pack as it will be frozen and stuck inside. We have never encountered a situation where the neck and giblets are missing, but it is not impossible, as each turkey is handled by a person, not machines. Because of your distance, we are unable to get you another package of giblets today. If you don't find them, do let us know. We can offer you a $5 credit towards a future Elmwood purchase. This could be put towards another shipping order or next year's turkey. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please reach out if you have any questions and I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving! Thanks, Ann Elmwood Stock Farm $129 for a 7lb heritage and $70 for shipping. Do not make the same mistake I did.

This is a tiny Farmers Market located in front of Honeywood…read more It pops up on Wed., 4-7 PM. The vendors rotate, and you can go on the website to see who is selling on a particular day. Tonight was rather scant -- two veggie vendors, Pojo's (popcorn), Edley's Q with free pulled pork sliders, a rep from the new Origin Hotel opening this summer, and a DJ. I wouldn't make a special trip. If you're already at The Summit, stroll by. As Farmers Markets go, it's barely an OK.

Located at 1447 Woodlawn Rd in Shelbyville Kentucky is Blues End Farm. This is a family owned…read morefarm that specializes in U-pick blueberries, maple syrup and pasteurized eggs. I will start with the location, i'm from eastern Kentucky so going out in the country on a small narrow road is nothing for me. For some it might be like am I going into BFE? Don't be scared with the narrow road it's in excellent shape...just take your time. The location is beautiful. Once you pull up to the farm, you will see a sign that says pick to the right and you can park in the pasture right before you get to the blueberry bushes that are knitted off. There was four different types of blueberries when I visited. The girl was very nice showing me where to go to pick. I was looking for blueberries that would make a good jam and also ones that I could freeze for blueberry lemon scones. I did appreciate that they only sell so many tickets per day so you can really take your time and enjoy the blueberry picking. This is the first time that I have been blueberry picking, and it's definitely more delicate than a strawberry or blackberry. it was the perfect day to be one with nature, picking such a delicate, beautiful fruit. They do have buckets to pick blueberries if you don't have one of your own. After you pick your blueberries, you can drive down to the main house where they will weigh your berries you can pay with cash, Venmo, or Apple Pay. Blues End Farm also had different varieties of maple syrup and jelly that day. I'm so fortunate to have this gem close to home. You can go online and purchase your pick tickets. Please give them a visit and support your local farmer. Overall it was a Berry Good Time!!!!
