Lexington Farmers Market hosts Summer Sizzle

This weekend, for Summer Sizzle, learn how to enjoy the last few weeks of summer veggies by getting some cooking ideas from the talented Veronica Tim's grilled veggie samples at 10 a.m.

In addition, enjoy a vendor list that is more diverse than ever. From special fall-themed coffee from Bush Hill, autumn scents from Crown and Heart Mercantile, and a kid's Farm Bingo event hosted by Silwood Soaps and Fiber Crafts and Southern Style Creations, to prickly pears from BN Acres, handmade ceramics from Hannah Goff, and muscadines from Riverside Workz, you will find unique, seasonal, quality products at our market.

Congratulations to Gobble Creek Farm on the birth of their beautiful son Archer. They are back at the market for the first time since his birth. Stop by and support this young family and share in their joy.
