Harrison Ford engages in some forbidden dance moves with Kelly McGillis in an outtake from the film, Witness.

We’re having a fundraiser at the historic Thoroughbred Theatre in Midway on August 22nd at 7 pm with food that celebrates some farmers near and dear to my heart.
At ‘Dinner and a Movie’  we’ll be preparing ‘An Amish Feast’ to celebrate the cuisine and culture of our Amish friends in Kentucky. The movie is Witness, starring Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis. We’ll be serving and eating family style with lots of fresh produce from Ellen and Sam Mast of Crab Orchard, KY, as well as from Honest Farm. Cost of the dinner is $30 and will benefit Honest Farm’s education projects. Honest Farm is a 501c3 organization with a mission of promoting locally grown foods. For reservations, call 846-9827.

In other new we made the front page of the Woodford Sun this week. Thanks to the writer, Bob Vlatch, for such a terrific article on the farm and a fairly decent photo to boot (notice the perspiration on my brow). There’s a copy of it in the store window. In October, we’re part of an article on Women Farmers in Worth magazine, you know, the publication for millionaires? Go figure.

And a tasty improvement to our menu: We now use Sunrise Bakery bread for all our sandwiches!

Hard to believe we’re already a week into August. The corn and peaches have never been sweeter and the tomatoes just keep coming!

On the farm stand this week:

Canteloupe, Galia and Watermelon

Savoy and Head Cabbage

Homegrown Heirloom Tomatoes

Peaches & Cream Corn
