DAYCREST FARM Est. 1983

Kentucky Proud, family owned since 1983

Good things grow slow in Lancaster, Kentucky.

Daycrest Farm is a family farm on Kennedy Bridge Road with u-pick flowers, lavender, naturally grown produce and berries, and a Saturday farm market that still runs on conversation.

From our fields

What we grow at Daycrest

Everything at the stand was planted, picked, or raised on this farm. No resellers, no middlemen. Here's what to look for through the season.

Cut Flowers & U-Pick

Tulips in spring, then zinnias, dahlias, and sunflowers all summer. Pick-your-own days, wreath workshops, and buckets by the row.

Flower seasons

Produce & Berries

Naturally grown tomatoes, sweet peppers, watermelon, and berries, picked the same week they land on the market table.

Shop the market

Pantry & Preserves

Local honey, pickles, blackberry and strawberry jam, tomato juice, lavender products, and sweet treats like cake pops and peanut butter pie.

Market Saturdays

Farm Animals & Beef

Cattle and horses have been part of this ground since 1983. Ask at the stand about pasture-raised beef, and say hi to the animals on market days.

Meet the farm

Every summer Saturday

Market mornings, the way you remember them

Tables of just-picked produce, buckets of flowers, and jars from the pantry, set up right on the farm with the gardens in view. No lines, no scanners, just slower days and good conversation.

Come early for the best of the tomatoes and berries; the sweet treats have a way of selling out first.

  • Saturdays 10 AM to 1 PM, or until sold out
  • Summer through fall on Kennedy Bridge Road
  • Grown, picked, and put up by our family

Call (859) 339-4385 to ask what's on the table this week, or follow @daycrestfarm for market-day news.

Cut flowers & u-pick

A flower season in three acts

The flower gardens change with the calendar. U-pick days and workshops are announced on Facebook and Instagram as each crop comes on.

Spring

Tulips first

The season opens with rows of tulips: bunches at the stand and the first u-pick mornings of the year.

Summer

Lavender, zinnias & dahlias

The main event: lavender in bloom for June wreath workshops, cutting-garden rows at their peak, and buckets you fill yourself.

Fall

Sunflower fields & mums

Sunflower fields, field-grown mums, and specialty pumpkins carry the farm into fall, capped by the Sunflower Festival.

Kind words

What folks say after a visit

The prettiest zinnias I have ever grown a bouquet from. We filled two buckets and my kids got to say hi to the horses.
Sample review, Lexington
The lavender wreath workshop was the highlight of our June. Everything was set up for us, and we left with wreaths and a carload of tomatoes.
Sample review, Danville
Worth the drive from Lexington every single Saturday. Get there early for the peanut butter pie.

Since 1983

Two generations on Kennedy Bridge Road

In 1983, George and Sue Evelyn Day bought the family farm that would become Daycrest. George built it up the hard way with dairy, cattle, and tobacco, through decades when small Kentucky farms had to earn every acre.

Today the next chapter grows on the same ground: naturally grown produce and berries, cut flowers, and a farm market that brings neighbors up the drive every summer Saturday. Slower days, good conversation, and you can see the gardens your food came from.
