Market News

The Market is back open this week and we have a couple of farmer’s taking a vacation this week. Cedar Thicket Farm will be gone for several weeks. Rocky Glade Farm will be gone but return next week in time for the Fourth of July holiday. Farmer Brown and Meadow Branch Beef are still gone and hopefully will return soon.

All the farmer’s markets in the region are now open. You can enjoy local grown and made products all week long. If you are tired of the heat and crowds, Stones River Market is here for you. You can order from the comfort of your house. Some of our products are very unique to the region. Then pick up on Wednesday only takes minutes in most cases. We are here for you.

White City Produce and Greenhouse brings back the Mountain Fresh tomatoes.

Wedge Oak Farm has introduced a ham slice from their pasture raised hogs this week.

A note from Chef Jenny with JENuine Health:

Thank you for trying my Seeds of Success last week. I hope you enjoyed the wildly addictive snack mix. I am not only an inventive snack creator, but also a natural chef.

There’s a new Seeds of Success mix for you to try this week. It’s a Breakfast To-Go Mix with seeds, oats, flax, raisins and morning spices. It is great on it’s own, mixed in yogurt, with milk, or on top of toast with peanut butter.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!

Recipes

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too! I am taking a break from recipes this week. If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.

Our recipe this week comes from Mandy with Ridiculous Chocolate using the coconut flour that they have on the Market.

Coconut Flour Waffles

Ingredients

4 TBSP melted butter, ghee, or coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut flour
6 eggs Tag a Market Product
2-4 TBSP pureed apple, pumpkin, banana, pear, or other mix in (optional)
2 TBSP honey
1/4 tsp salt

Step by Step Instructions

Preheat waffle iron (I always use high), grease generously with coconut oil or ghee. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter onto waffle iron, and using a butter knife or the back of a spoon, spread the batter to evenly distribute over the iron. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles covered with foil in a 200 degree oven to keep warm if you wish.

Top with nutbutter, boiled fruit, or honey for a quick meal on the go.

I thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
