Lexington Farmers' Market Report Podcast Logo with fruits and vegetables

The Lexington Farmers' Market Report on WUKY is brought to you by Kentucky American Water, a subsidiary of American Water, providing safe, reliable water and/or wastewater services to approximately half a million people in portions of 14 counties. Learn more at kentuckyamwater.com.

This week Joe and Josh talk Kentucky's mountain fruit, 'Paw Paws.' This distinctive tree fruit is indigenous to the area and has a very short shelf life. Fortunately, we are in peak paw paw season, so you may be able to find some at the Farmers' Market. Listen and find out some ways to use this delicious product in your recipes.

Joe Conkwright is a Leo...and hosts the 2nd half of Rock & Roots on WUKY - noon to 4 PM weekdays.
