Pawpaws gain standing as Kentucky crop

By Shawntaye Hopkins - shopkins@herald-leader.com

When Ilze Sillers carried the pawpaws from her small farm in Versailles to the Woodford County Farmers' Market last year, some people — probably city folks — didn't know what they were.

But most people who stopped at the table wanted to share their pawpaw stories. Adults recalled pawpaws eaten as children, pawpaws picked from grandpa's farm and pawpaws stumbled upon in the wild.

"People shared lots of stories, and it brought back a lot of memories for some people," Sillers said.
