Other news from the farmers:
Ridiculous Chocolate is on vacation this week, but will return next week if you need any of his products for gifts or events you are attending.

Rainbow Hill Farm wants me to let you know this will be their last week on the Market for a little while. If you enjoy their apples, you need to get them this week. They want to thank everyone for their support this year.

Wedge Oak Farm has added some artisan sausages to the Market this week.

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

We are taking orders through December 22 for beautiful Christmas kissing balls. Made with live greens and other natural materials, these balls are about 18" in diameter and come in three styles, shown on the market. Each one is mounted on a sturdy hanger and includes a festive red ribbon bow. They are suitable to hang on a shepherd’s crook or from a chain for a beautiful outside Christmas decoration.

Make a collection of common culinary herbs, to give as a gift or to keep for yourself. Please see the description under ‘Gift Baskets & Certificates,’ ‘Herb Plants – Baskets & Planters,’ ‘Live Plants – Herb Plants – Baskets & Planters,’ or ‘Seasonal Items’; and specify your choice of herbs. We have a good selection of herbs available, and have expanded the list from last year. Included are:

• Mints (chocolate, peppermint, pineapple [variegated], spearmint, grapefruit)
• Oregano (Greek or variegated)
• Rue
• Rosemary
• Sage, Garden
• Thyme (Lemon, English, silver-edged, citrus, lime)
• Lemon balm
• Stevia (small but healthy)

If intended as a gift, please order your herb collection early to allow time for custom preparation. Please specify basket or planter (basket shown). Includes container, and will make a unique living Christmas centerpiece as well.
