“From Farm To Table” Getting To Know SKY Farmer’s Market Feature Dog Biscuits.

About 8 years ago Jim Sears was close to opening the first Dog Biscuit bakery in Ashville, North Carolina. Lucky for Bowling Green, he became the first to start selling dog biscuits in Bowling Green at the SKY Farmer’s market. A move that has made this writer’s dog very happy.
It started on a trip to New Orleans, Jim Sears first laid eyes on the Dog Biscuit bakery and thought, “That’s weird.” Needless to say the weird became an inspiration. One where ‘Zutrav Dog Biscuits’ was born. Jim often times will source locally his products in the dog biscuits and when possible he uses natural ingredients as well. Often times Sears tries new recipes to help keep his customer dogs healthy, happy and as brilliant as their owners insist that they are.

Endless posts refuting the rather ridiculous notion that Bowling Green is “Boring” Green. Ask us why we love it here…

Check out the “wacky pizza” at Greener Groundz every Wednesday. It changes every week-don’t ever ask what it is. Make it a surprise.
Definitely the Thai Pizza at Greener Groundz!
Long live the GG’s veggie pizza with white sauce!
Also, check out Shake Rag Barbeque–pulled pork and corn cake that’ll make you want to slap yo mamma!
You can’t go wrong with “Griffs”. It’s a simple deli, but it’s full of options!! The Chipotle chicken sandwich is usually my meal of choice!
If you like Italian/Greek food, you may want to check out Geno’s Italian Deli. It is located a few stores to the left of Hobby Lobby. Their gyros and sandwiches are σπουδαίος! (That means awesome, or delicious…I think)
A Taste of Europe on the square serves a really good gyro too. Their tzatziki sauce makes it especially tasty!
The Gallery Hop comes around several times a year…I believe the next one is in August. The Garden Patch in Smiths Grove is a very quaint setting–farm animals, lovely flowers, and cool antiques. Also, don’t forget the SKY Farmer’s Market–get your kids faces painted, hot breakfast under a tent, wine, meat, farm fresh eggs, homemade dog treats, endless veggies & flowers and sometimes live music.
Vinos. Where the Happy Inn used to be (the intersection of Kentucky and Adams streets), except now there’s real atmosphere. Equally important – the windows and floor are clean (that must have taken at least a week). Excellent food and a full bar. Great place to trash talk your backwards relatives.
This winter I bought a one of a kind vintage (quite warm) coat from Labold’s new place and some silver tinsel for my Christmas tree that was still in the old box stickered .44 cents. I love digging through the variety of things she has there. Last time I went, the basement was opened up for customers–tons of vintage bikes and antique sewing tables…Go see it all.
