Farmer's Market

The farmer's market is a compelling reason to look forward to summer. These markets are not huge, selling only the freshest of the season, but it gives Old Louisvillians an opportunity to purchase farm fresh produce never available any more in local groceries. It's somewhat mind-boggling to realize how many (especially) younger people have little idea about simple pleasures of the sweet fully-developed flavor of a fresh tomato, strawberry, blackberry or peach. Be discriminating, but, by example, we have gone to the market on Wednesday and purchased flavorful cucumbers at three for $1.00, because they were Monday's cucumbers, and not Wednesday's cucumbers for $.50 each. And don't miss the honey lady, with her delightful variety of home-made honeys, berry-flavored honeys and honey salsas. Come early in the season for the more robust Kentucky wildflower honeys. Fresh herbs/plants and flowers are also sold when available. The selection changes weekly.
