Good information for all of our dog loving and dog walking friends. If you plan on walking your dog this summer, please remember how hot the asphalt can get very quickly. Better to walk your dog on grass or dirt trails.

Our sweet and crunchy salad mix is our farmers market feature this week!

Some salad mixes (hint: the ones you often find at the grocery store) like to sneak in bitter or spicy greens but we make sure ours is mild through and through so there are no surprises. This is one of our most popular farmers market picks and we frequently sell out before the days end so you’ll want to get there quick! We’ll be at the Lexington Farmers Market on Saturday from 8am-2pm and the Hyde Park Winter Farmers' Market on Sunday from 10am-1pm.

Lexington Farmers Market

At the market this week and only available for a limited time: endive!

This is a leafy green with a lot of names. Sometimes you’ll see it referred to as chicory or frisée but any way you say it, endive has a mild, slightly bitter flavor with a delicate texture. We love to mix into salads with other lettuces and pair with creamy dressing, add it to sandwiches or even stir it into soups.

Find it at our farmers market stand at the Lexington Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8am-1pm and the Hyde Park Winter Farmers' Market on Sundays from 10am-1pm.

Millions of women are 'under-muscled'. These foods help build strength We start to lose muscle in our 30s, and the loss accelerates with age, putting us at risk of frailty later in life. But what you eat — specifically how much protein — is a big part of the solution.
