Farmers Markets on Derby?

We checked out the farmers market at NC yesterday with derby guests in tow... only about 5 or 6 booths there. The others I guess reasoned no one would be there because of derby. Instead, there was a fairly healthy crowd milling around asking where everyone was. Very embarrassing. I'll go back next week to see if their line ups show up and if not , I won't return. Back to the St Matt's farmers market for me.
On another note, we went to the movies at Tinseltown at around 4PM thinking they would be slow and instead found them packed. The young lady at the window said they had been busy all day.

I'll go back next week to see if their line ups show up and if not , I won't return. Back to the St Matt's farmers market for me.

We were vendors at that (NC)market when it started,but we found it to be inconsistent as well. We do the Bardstown and the St Matts now,and really appreciate that they put such a heavy emphasis on vendors showing up with regularity. As vendors weve always felt that no show vendors really hurt the market for everybody.Just a reminder St Matts starts May 16.

We got busy, and didn't make it to NC market yesterday, and now, I'm glad we didn't. Might try again next weekend, but thanks for the report, Carla!

Hey John - I should probably know this, but I don't. If I wanted to come to your place to just buy plants, etc., where are you?

for fresh local ASP.... give us a call at Corbetts, we receive a weekly delivery of them! they are what i wish for every time i try to order from local purveyors! and they come from 1 mile away

I didn't get any local asparagus this weekend, so I will definitely give you a call! Thanks, Chef! Maybe I can pop in for lunch sometime this week! Should I call first to verify that you will have local asparagus on the menu? It will probably just be me, as my DH will be working, but I assume it comfortable for 1 to sit at the bar?

Kim,

Unless it's absolutely slammed, I wouldn't sit at tjhe bar- I'd sit at a table solo. Nothing wrong with the bar, but the tables are absolutely lovely, and Corbett's is the kind of place where they'd welcome solo diners and not make you feel any thing less than t"heir best customer" when dining solo at a table.

Oh, I could probably make it down there tomorrow! If not, though, my husband and I like out-of-the-way places, and it could be a nice drive to check out your place. Thanks!

Thanks, Deb! Sounds like good advice!
