    We first discovered Hampton Ridge Farm at the Covington Farmers Market last summer. They're one of…read morethe regular vendors - and we purchased some of their infamous Cottage Bacon, and a dozen farm fresh eggs. My fiancé also picked up some of their pamphlets, and had been carrying around the idea that we should buy all of our meat directly from the farm ever since. He'd brought it up a few times, but finally let me know a few weeks ago that he'd placed an order for chicken, pork, and beef, and that we'd be picking it up on the farm from a man named Earl. At first, I was skeptical about visiting the farm. I am so on board with sustainable, organic, local farming, but I didn't exactly want to see "how the sausage gets made" ... literally. My fiancé assured me that we didn't have to see any of the actual animals, and that he just wanted to check out the space and meet the farmer. I hesitantly agreed, and I'm so glad I did. The farm is down in Glencoe, Kentucky ... probably 50 minutes outside of Cincy city limits. We set up a pick-up time, and were welcomed to the farm by a few sheep crossing the road in front of us (I don't eat lamb all that often, so I didn't mind seeing these particular animals). We were then officially greeted by Earl, who is probably the most down-to-earth and inventive man I've ever met. Earl gave us a small tour of the farm, explaining his resourceful processes, and how he keeps the animals cared for in different seasons. I was also grateful to know that he doesn't do any of the "processing" on site: that's handled by a middleman, who then returns the meat back to Earl to sell online and at the Farmers Market. Unfortunately, Earl explained he had just given all of his cows to his daughter and son-in-law for them to start their own farm, so he was fresh out of beef products. He did, however, stock us up on all sorts of chicken, pork sausage, chorizo, pork chops, and two dozen eggs. All of his products come frozen, and we brought an insulated bag with us for easy transport back to our home. While his prices are a little more than what you'd pay at the grocery store, you have to consider the quality and care you're paying for. Most people have no idea where their meat comes from ... even if it's organic. Even though I didn't want to actually see the animals, it's a remarkable feeling to know we're supporting a local farmer. And of course ... the proof is in the taste. Earl encouraged us to compare a store-bought chicken breast side-by-side with one from Hampton Ridge - and there's definitely a clear winner. If you're not looking to take a farm tour, don't worry, you don't have to! Visit their website and place an order for pick-up at the Covington Farmers Market. Or, just stop by the market and see what they have on hand: I promise you won't be disappointed!

I'm very excited Taste of Belgium, ice cream, butcher, and lots more will be in there by end of August. Right now they have outdoor farmers set up with fresh veggies, homemade jalapeño jelly, meat, flowers, honey, wine, etc. Super nice people were there today. I got a few of my favorite things (see photo). I'm reserving the fifth star for when the building is full.

The farm fresh produce is just that farm fresh. the amount and variety is dependent on the time and weather. They could do a better job posting hours, however this info is available by liking them on facebook. I understand the inside area will feature an new ice cream store where they will make ice cream on-site, The Colonel's Creamery. Plus Taste of Belgium, Colonel D's Herbs and Spices, butcher shop, vinegar and olive oils, an Italian store where they will make pasta...whoa! Can hardly wait. Owner says they should be opening mid-August.

    The Fairfield Farmers Market is a small market located in Village Green Park across from the…read moreshopping center with Kroger, Om India, La Pinata. It's between the Fairfield Arts Center and the library. The market runs on Wednesdays from May 14th to September 24 in 2025. I think the overall word I would use to describe this market is quaint, lol. When I first drove by I got excited because both sides of the park had lots of stands up. I was excited to see what kind of variety the market had to offer. I parked in the library parking lot, not sure if that was allowed. I'm not sure where the intended parking for this event is. Unfortunately as I drew closer, I realized that all of the stands on the right side were run by kids, and they were all selling lemonade or sweets, or trinkets they (or their parents lol) had created. Later I saw a sign that it was actually a kids farmers market. This is very cute, but it's not what I expect when I think of a farmers market and it was a bit of a bummer for me. Call me a hater. It's great that kids are learning about entrepreneurship or whatever. On the other side of the park, there were more stands, but not very many. Less than 10. There was a bakery stand, Pickled Paradise was there (probably the biggest brand present), a honey stand and maybe a couple of others. There was one entire stand selling produce. One. I am happy that Fairfield offers a farmers market and I would love to support it and the local businesses that show up, but I really hope they are able to attract more vendors, especially with fresh produce. I think food trucks would really help draw more people to this as well. We have almost 50,000 people living in Fairfield - we should have a farmers market more representative of a population this size. I'm rooting for this event to grow in size & popularity and become something great!
