Ken Folks Farm

Ken Folks Farm Ken Folks Farm is a small family farm operated by Ken and Vernice Black. We use resources on the farm to produce maple syrup, jams, jellies and breads.

Everything is very small batch, hand-produced and labor intensive. But the results are delicious!

Are you ready for another Old Pioneer Farmer's Market? It will be warm but the latest forecast has removed all but a slight chance of a shower. We will be there with our maple syrup, jams and jellies. We have a new batch of shagbark hickory syrup. Here's a picture of a shagbark hickory tree. It's pretty obvious how it gets its name. The syrup is sweetened with cane sugar, so it's not 100% natural like maple syrup. But the finished syrup has a delicious smoky flavor that comes from roasting the bark. Be sure to ask for a free sample. Finally, we'll have Vernice's blueberry bread, a people's choice favorite. We hope to see you there tomorrow (Thursday) from 4-7 in the library parking lot at the corner of US 42 and 4th Street in Warsaw. Look for the blue canopies. Free admission and plenty of free parking.

Here's a quick update for today's market. In addition to what we posted yesterday, we'll also have several loaves of apple zucchini bread and three dozen eggs from the happy hens of Ken Folks Farm. If you haven't been out before, the market is easy to find in the public library parking lot at the corner of US 42 and 4th Street in beautiful Warsaw KY. There is plenty of free parking in the lot and on the street. Expect to find over 20 local vendors with a wide variety of products. A few vendors may accept credit cards but most prefer cash or Venmo. Just look for the blue canopies. We hope to see you later today.

We'll be back at the Old Pioneer Farmer's Market in Warsaw tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. We'll have our small batch, made-on-the-farm maple syrup, jams and jellies. We sold out of shagbark hickory syrup last week and haven't had a chance to make more. We'll try to have that again for week 3. We have a few jars left of our wild ramp seasoning salt. When it's gone we can't make more until next spring. Vernice will have chocolate zucchini bread and blueberry bread. We hope to see you there

Thank you to everyone that came out yesterday afternoon to support this year's first session of Warsaw's Old Pioneer Farmer's Market. We had a large crowd, the weather was great, and the hot dogs were delicious (and free!). We had over 20 vendors on hand with a wide variety of products for sale. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get around to see what everyone had to offer, but I know we had several repeat vendors from last year as well as several new folks. The mix will change some as the year goes along, with local farmers bringing in fresh garden produce as it becomes available. If you weren't able to make it out this week, plan now to join us soon. You don't have to buy anything (although we appreciate it when you do!). Just come on out and visit, enjoy our beautiful home town, maybe have dinner at a local restaurant or a picnic in the riverfront park. If you've never been to Warsaw you need to see what you've been missing.

We're all set for tomorrow's start of the Old Pioneer Farmer's Market in Warsaw. As a final reminder, the market is held in the library parking lot at the corner of US 42 and 4th Street every Thursday afternoon from 4-7 pm. We'll be there with a good supply of maple syrup, jams and jellies, shagbark hickory syrup, and our new sample packs with maple syrup, shagbark syrup and Crigger Farm honey. We'll also have our wild ramp seasoning salt. Vernice will have four kinds of bread - pineapple zucchini, apple zucchini, mulberry and blueberry. She will only have 4-5 loaves of each, so plan to come early for the best selection. Or you can Venmo payment if you want us to hold something for you. Just let us know if you want to do that. (Cindy, don't worry. We'll save two loaves of apple zucchini bread for you!)

Fingers crossed, right now the forecast for Thursday is a mix of sun and clouds (no rain!) for the start of the Old Pioneer Farmer's Market in Warsaw. KFF will be there with a full line of our products including this year's maple syrup (light amber or dark), jams and jellies (strawberry rhubarb, apple cinnamon, blackberry, mulberry, dandelion and red bud blossom), and dessert breads (apple zucchini, pineapple zucchini, mulberry and blueberry). New for this year we have shagbark hickory syrup and wild ramp seasoning salt. We are also introducing sample boxes containing 4 ounce jars of KFF maple syrup, KFF shagbark hickory syrup and Crigger Farm honey. Everything is small batch, homemade, using ingredients from here on the farm whenever possible. We'll have free samples of almost everything so you can try before you buy. The market is held every Thursday afternoon from 4-7 pm in the public library parking lot at the corner of US 42 and 4th Street. You can't miss it. There are currently 20 vendors planning to participate and more will likely join us. And this week, to celebrate the start of summer, the market will have FREE HOT DOGS! We hope you will come out, support your local farmers and artisans, visit a while, enjoy a scenic drive along the river, and grab a free hot dog.

The last seven days have been all about rain here at KFF. Last Saturday we skipped the peony festival in Warsaw due to the heavy rain. Since then, over 4 inches of rain has fallen and there is lots more on the way. While we wait for the rain to end, we are getting ready for the Old Pioneer Farmer's Market. The market starts next Thursday May 28 in Warsaw KY. We will have all of our products available, including maple syrup, 6 kinds of jams and jellies, and Vernice's dessert breads. We'll have several items that are new this year, including our wild ramp seasoning salt, shagbark hickory syrup, and new "sweet sampler" boxes that include maple syrup, shagbark syrup and Crigger Farm's honey. Watch for our posts next week where we'll give you lots more details about the market and the items we'll bring.

We hate to cancel plans based on the weather forecast. It seems like every time we do this then the forecast changes and we regret our decision. But with that said, we've decided we will not set up at tomorrow's Peony Festival in Warsaw. The weather just looks too unsettled to take a chance on everything getting wet. Now that we've made that decision, we expect the forecast to change and tomorrow to be a beautiful day. You're welcome!

We'll see you in a couple of weeks at the Old Pioneer Farmers Market in Warsaw.

The forecast for this Saturday's peony festival is not looking good right now. Of course, we all know the forecast can change overnight, so we are keeping an eye on it. If rain and storms are still in the forecast by Friday evening we'll have to sit this one out. We put too much work into our products and packaging to risk having them get wet. We'll make a final decision on Friday evening and will post our decision here. Hopefully the forecasts are wrong and we'll have a beautiful day for the festival.

Mark your calendars! We will be a vendor at Warsaw's annual peony festival this Saturday. The festival takes place on the courthouse square from 10-4 with lots of vendors, live music, food, free horse and carriage rides, riverboat rides for only $5, and more. We'll have our full line of "farmer's market" products including our local maple syrup, jams and jellies, and baked goods. New this year we'll have our shagbark hickory syrup and wild ramp seasoning salt. We may also have another surprise or two. We'll post again later this week with more details. We hope to see you there.
