Forgot N Tymes Farm

Ever wanted to go to a farm and be able to pick the vegetables yourself? 

Many farms do this, but Forgot N Tymes Farm is one of the best places to do so! They host entire events dedicated to allowing people to come out and pick berries.

FNTF grows blueberries and strawberries open for “berry picking,” as well as seasonal flowers and herbs. 

Lots of the plants grown at the farm are produced in greenhouses, where temperature, water, and pests can be better controlled. 

The flowers grown at the farm are sold as living plants, whereas some farms sell cut flower arrangements, and they also offer a large selection of decorative pots.

Valley of Hope Farms

Meet Valley of Hope Farms in Grayson, Kentucky!

“We are a family-owned farm, and we offer products customized to our clients. Our CSA boxes are exactly what our clients want!

We are a family farm, and we strive to serve our communities with the best quality products we can produce.

Our CSA starts on 5/1 and runs thru 10/31. Although—we can offer some boxes year round. We are growing, and therefore we are extending our growing season. Also, keep in mind we not only offer produce, we also offer beef, pork and lamb. We have a full line of baked goods featuring our signature cookies— white chocolate ginger- we are nearing the 2000 dozen mark!! Stephen has a wide assortment of wood products that he offers including charcuterie boards. This year, he is introducing wind chimes, fan trellises, and garden obelisks. Since we raise peacocks, we are now offering peacock feather earrings. This year, we are especially excited to offer our FOODIE BOX— this box will include unusual products that are becoming more sought after by folks who love to cook different foods. We have 15 of these available, and this is the first announcement of this, so we expect these to go quickly. Also, another first announcement— we are now approved to accept EBT, so we can now offer more produce to more folks to get those farm-fresh products in our KY bellies!!!”
