The Lincoln Trail Area Master Gardeners will host their 2012 Plant Fair this Saturday, May 19th at the Hardin County Extension Office. For the third year in a row, Hinton’s Orchard is happy to participate with a great assortment of herbs, perennials, vegetable plants for your garden, annual flowers & hanging baskets.

Many other vendors will be participating on Saturday as well. If you have not planted anything or are just looking for a few items to finish off your spring plantings, you are sure to find something at the Plant Fair.

Hours for the sale are Saturday, May 19th from 9 am – 3 pm at the Hardin County Extension Office located across the street from the Hardin County Farmer’s Market (201 Peterson Drive, Elizabethtown). Stop by to see what Hinton’s Orchard has to offer!

2012 Strawberry Festival

Joanna — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:08:02 +0000

It’s time to enjoy Hinton’s annual Strawberry Festival! As our first festival of the year, the day will be filled with U pick strawberries, our annual pie eating contest (adult and child divisions), Hinton’s famous strawberry ice cream and other strawberry treats, play time in Hinton’s FarmLand, and other special strawberry fun. Our greenhouse will be filled with herbs, flowers, and vegetable plants to get your own spring planting underway.

Due to the early spring weather, Hinton’s Strawberry Festival is being held earlier than usual this year — on Kentucky Derby Day, Saturday, May 5th. To celebrate Kentucky’s big race, in addition to our strawberry fun, we will also have a “Run for the Berries” stick horse race (adult and child divisions) and Hinton’s own “Horse Race Pie” on hand. Bring your own horse for the race or create one after you arrive at the farm.

The Strawberry Pie Eating Contest will begin at 1 p.m. with the Run for the Berries to follow at 1:30.

Market hours are 9 am – 6 pm with festival activities from 11 am – 3 pm. Come party with us before your Derby party. You will be a hit if you bring fresh strawberries!

Closed for the Season

Joanna — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 14:56:04 +0000

Hinton’s Orchard & Farm Market closed for the 2011 season on December 23rd. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with fresh fruits and vegetables, local meats and cheeses, unique gifts, fresh baked goods, and simple farm fun with your families during the past year.

In this winter season the quieter work of the farm begins with pruning in the orchards, planning for the spring vegetable plantings, and catching up on office work that is so often put aside during our busy fall months. Soon enough seeding will begin in the greenhouse as we prepare for spring flower and vegetable plant sales.

The on-farm market will return in mid-April 2012 with new products for the new season. Farmer’s Markets in LaRue, Hardin and Taylor counties will resume in late April or early May. From our family to yours, Happy New Year and we look forward to seeing you in warmer weather.
