Today is pickle day, well I got over 200lbs.. so tomorrow too.

These are local pickling cucumbers, out of hoptown, as they are starting to hit the market in bulk as the heat goes up.

We should get some more Saturday out of Cadiz.

The other things I saw yesterday was Okra... just only about 8 pecks and exceptionally expensive. I don't think you want to pay $14 for a jar of pickled okra, and I don't want to charge it.

But hopefully next week. Okra has an incredibly short shelf life for pickling, it has to be in jars fast. It requires dumping whatever we have planned. Jalapenos? eh... they'll hold, but Okra and Pickling cukes too... I think it also makes a better product.

Local peaches are coming in too, but they're clingstone, and if you've ever de-pitted a clingstone, it's like trying to get the favorite toy from a 3 year old, and for 10lbs... not a problem.. 300lbs... that's a problem. So we wait for freestones that can be taken out by hand, instead of with a floor jar or engine hoist like clingstones.

We don't hit this very often, but aside from Mt. Dew Jelly and Dr. Pepper Jelly (on the board for production btw) and the BBQ sauce which uses an ingredient in worshes... workshetter, wor... that black sauce we like on meat.... All of our products qualify as all natural.

Some also have organic components too. The organic stuff is good, usually not quite as full of flavor, but where it helps us, is generally it's not full of the crud with names we can't pronounce.

We'll see you at the Murray Downtown Farmers' Market this weekend, Saturday from 7-12.

Oh... with refrigerator pickles too... we are going to try a 1 or 2 gallon "bucket of pickles", but we'll see if the buckets arrive. We have some true fans and some of you I think would bath in pickle juice if I had enough.... that's a joke... or is it???

Pickle on!

We made BBQ sauce last night as the lids finally arrived. Today was Bread and Butter Jalapenos. We are making some more BBQ sauce tonight or tomorrow early.

-------------------------------------

The orders from the weekend and a couple back orders for BBQ Sauce and Kentucky Candy are out the door. I still have 3 to finish.

In general, I try to get orders out the same week. There are times we have walk up sales or silo store sales that cause inventory issues.

We should be quicker in the coming weeks as having a part time employee has allowed us to up our production 20%.

Thanks again, and orders can be made at www.kentuckyfreshjam.com.

I need to update inventory, so if you don't see it.. as always... send a pm saying.. "I want X, I don't see it...." and I'll check as we have the farmers' market supply, the wholesale supply and website. And if not... we'll make it.

Jam on!

Pina Colada and Mango Pineapple Jam back on the menu, got done this week. I'm here at 5:45pm, still waiting for BBQ sauce lids... if they come in, I'll have that too tomorrow.

Becca will be with us... and we have about 100 refrigerator pickles, Baja Pickles and Garlic. Good stuff fo' sure.

Schedule:
Every weekend (almost), Saturdays 7-12 until August, The Murray Downtown Farmers Market.

July 4th weekend, we'll be in Murray (Paula) and I'll be in Calvert City, Kentucky for the Ameribration, our 5th? year.

July 23-25th The Great Texas Mosquito Festival in Clute, TX, just south of Houston. It was local, so I thought Paula loves Mosquitos... Joking of course.... Our daughter lives in Houston, TX and we wanted to visit her, but this way we can sell jam to pay for it and see her too.

Great American Farmers' Market. We were invited as of December to set up in DC for a week event the first week of August. No details yet, they are busy doing the 250th, but we plan on being there.
