Community favorite Strawberry Festival returns to The Cottage in Western Daviess County this summer June 8th & 9th. It will be bigger and better than ever.

The Cottage Farmstand

Located at 6819 Highway 56, Owensboro, KY  42301, The Cottage Farmstand and restaurant is a little piece of heaven in the Sorgho area. You can enjoy their baked goods, dips, pickles, coffee, and so much more daily and you can find them at the Owensboro Regional Farmer's Market on Saturdays. That's where I get my mini muffin fix! If you know, you know! If you don't, what are you waiting for?

What is Truck Town?

For the first time ever, Truck Town, sponsored by Ohio Valley Insurance, will have a whole collection of large farm equipment, cool trucks, and construction equipment to explore and see up close. There will be demonstrations as well for all big machine enthusiasts. I know there are lots of kiddos big and small who will be pumped about this.

Field of Flavors

According to the fabulous Ms. Marlene Knight of the Cottage, you better come hungry! "Many, many food offerings from our own Owensburger® to pork chop sandwiches and other meats locally produced to unique and delicious strawberry themed offerings.  Strawberry Slushies in a souvenir cup are always a favorite.  New this year, a pie shop with a variety of pies, whole or by the slice.  Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Beer (Brew Bridge), Strawberry cake pops, cookies & muffins, Chocolate covered strawberry lattes, etc."
