Farm and Family

As summer comes to a close and as September approaches, the Henry County Farmers Market sees a shift in fresh produce. Not only does fall bring corn mazes, squash and pumpkins, it is also a perfect time to visit the farmers market for fall produce like apples. 

Henry County 4-Hers have been very busy at the Kentucky State Fair the past week.  Cloverville was full of great work completed by youth from across the commonwealth.  Here are the results from Henry County:  

It seems like the summer was hardly here and passed too fast. It is even harder to think that harvest season will soon be here. 

Grain farmers will be in the fields with combines, and cattle producers will be chopping corn for silage. 

This activity means that tractors and farm equipment will be on the roads, and drivers and equipment operators need to safely share the road safely.

Although berry season in Kentucky is almost over, you may still find some at our Henry County Farmers Market. 

Blackberries and raspberries, along with boysenberries, are collectively known as brambleberries. They get that name from the thorny, tangled vines from which they grow.  

Brambleberries are harvested from June through August in Kentucky.
