Wilson Farm

 

Having had a bonus day off on Wednesday, Thatcher and I took a trek to Lexington to meet my dad at Wilson Farm to pick up some yummy extras for our Thanksgiving meal.  I’ve been meaning to check out Wilson Farm for quite a while now and will certainly have to head back on a day when the crowd isn’t so large.  Thanksgiving Eve found the farm super crowded with Thanksgivingers grabbing last minutes fixings, fully prepared dinners, and everything in between!

We grabbed some stuffed mushrooms, cranberry sauce, gravy, nuts, and gorgeous flowers.  It was well worth the ride just to poke around and I look forward to going back as Christmas carols play and holiday cheer is in the air.
