My favorite morning of the week is Saturday. The day is full of potential and even if the LittleAprons have activities planned, I still love the morning. This is my favorite time to throw the door open wide, bake, and drink an extra cup of coffee. Living large, eh? Today I’m making a marbled pound cake loaf and some lasagna for friends whose son had surgery yesterday.
As summer approaches a trip to a local farmers’ market or u-pick farm makes an enjoyable Saturday morning activity, at least to me. So here’s to Saturday and taking time to slow down and bake and shop for fresh produce or whatever brings joy and smiles. Here are a few u-pick locations for strawberries in Northern Kentucky:
Fryman Farms in Burlington. 8a – 8p Wednesday through Sunday. 859-586-4576.
Keith’s Produce in Dry Ridge. 9a – dark Monday – Saturday and 1 p – dark Sunday. 859-391-4433.
Fresh Kentucky strawberries also available at the Boone Country Farmers’ Market and in the farmers’ shed at Findlay Market.
