Market News

The Market is back open this chilly morning and with a threat of our first major snow this winter.

We are still waiting for some warmer weather so that more produce will be available. You can still find plenty of baked goods, eggs, meat and poultry, and skin care products from our local growers and producers.

Chef Jenny’s message for the week:

Valentine’s Day brings out the sweetness in everyone. NEW this week from the Seeds of Success: Cuckoo Cocoa Bits. A snack that satisfies your sweet tooth and provides protein by combining toasted seeds with agave, cocoa, and a hint of peppermint. It’s a crunchy, chocolatey treat that is reminiscent of a cookie.

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!

It has been a while since I have posted a recipe. Everyone likes using slow cookers so I found this one from Yummly and A Year of Slow Cooking for you to try. You can read the entire story here.

Honey Garlic Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
serves 4

The Ingredients.

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 or one thigh per family member)
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (La Choy or Tamari wheat-free are gluten free)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup honey

The Directions.

  1. Use a 4-quart slow cooker (if using a 6-quart, this will cook faster. Check after 3 hours on high, 5 hours on low).
  2. Put the chicken into your cooker. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, then pour evenly over the top.
  3. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 (I’d go with low—-).
  4. Serve with basmati rice and steamed or roasted vegetables.

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!
