Growing Forward Farmers

Did you sleep through the Saturday markets? That’s okay! July — sept this market is open Sunday morning during and after the service.
The produce sold here is a wonderful quality. I love the bunch of loooong purple green beans I bought here. They even shuck your peas if you’d rather have them ready to boil.
Farmers are sweet! Note that this is a very small market only a couple tables long coming from one farm. Truly a place you’ll have to try! They have interesting prepared foods if you get there early enough!

Not Deer Park Farmers Market.
Try not to confuse this lot with the Deer Park Farmers Market, as I started to in my reviews in photos. I have attended this Farmers market and found they have a great selection of produce, but there are less vendors then Deer Park.
Great thing is that these are all a couple blocks from each other and they are open Sunday’s.
Yay for Farm to Table!

Sitting outside of St. Francis of Assisi Church on Bardstown Road on Sundays from 10 am to 12:30 pm, this farmer’s market is one of the few Sunday farmers markets in town – and the only one in the highlands area. It runs from July through September and is part of a program that gives refugees agricultural opportunities in Kentucky. Super awesome! I went here for the first time this morning and was surprised and impressed at the variety of food. Lots of different types of tomatoes, squash, greens, onions, potatoes and more. Heads up: it’s all veggies, so it’s not a one stop shop.
My favorite thing: since this market features vegetables from just one farmer, I didn’t have the price/​produce quality comparison that happens at other markets where I end up buying potatoes from one vendor and greens from another. Nope, all my purchases went to support one farmer and it was a nice relief not to have to pick through all the stands selling tomatoes to figure out which one to buy from. All of her food is locally grown (her farm is somewhere off of 264) and chemical-​free, yay!
Oh also, I hadn’t seen purple tomatillos at any other markets recently and they were recommended by everyone hanging around so I grabbed several for a salsa. I love seeing out of the ordinary crops, so I couldn’t resist. Plus, I’m a sucker for a recommendation.
