Welcome to the 2026 season!

We’re BAAAA-AAAACK! It was a great offseason. We worked on many projects, reviewed performance, researched new recipes, rested, and now it’s time to go again.

The 2026 market season opened this past Saturday. To be honest, the weather forecast was horrible – rain, chance of storms, gloomy, wet, yuck. But you guys showed up! We sold out of biscuit and gravy by 10am, and lamb sliders not long after. We reunited with customers we hadn’t seen in a while and met many new customers. The morning flew by!

Our “$10 bite” (weekly special) for last week was meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy. It was a big hit, so I’m sure we’ll offer it again at some point this season. This week’s “bite” will be chicken and dumplings – bring your appetite and come early.

Thank you to everyone who braved the wind and rain to visit us at the market. We really appreciate you!

Until Saturday….

Then and Now…

First market booth, 2014
Current market booth set up.

We set up at our local farmers’ market for the first time in 2014. It was one table, a cool door sign with our prices, and a dream. We transported everything in our Ford Explorer. Eleven years later, we have a double booth, tables, shelves, a POS system, a truck, a trailer, lots of equipment, and two employees. The fun doesn’t end there! Our goal is to transition to a food truck when it becomes financially feasible.

In the meantime, we’ll be setting up every Saturday and The Owensboro Regional Farmers’ Market through November 1, 2025. We still sell our lamb meat, jams, jellies, honey, handmade items, fresh cut herbs, and (when available) produce. However, our primary focus is THE FOOD! Lamb sliders made with our Jake’s Run lamb, scratch made biscuits and gravy, breakfast bowls cooked to order, and a weekly special that’s always delicious!

  • Biscuit and gravy
  • Asian braised pulled pork
  • Our amazing lasagna!

We love local! We strive to use as much locally grown ingredients as possible. We grow the lamb and the herbs used in the sliders and tzatziki. Our lettuce comes from Fischer’s Family Farms. The tomatoes and cucumbers are grown by Dakota Edge Farms. We use produce from other vendors at the market, depending on what we’re cooking and availability.

If you love local, scratch made food, give us a try! We’d love to see you at the market!
