Market News
Welcome back to another week of local products. Produce is slowly appearing on the Market. due to the cold winter, we are still a couple weeks away from more varieties becoming available. However, Rocky Glade Farm has the first offering of strawberries this week. West Wind Farms has sliced ham and chicken available this week. Sicilian Bratwurst with Lemon and Orange is a new product from them. Chef Jenny has a new seasoning today. Tur-miracle Seasoning which blends sunflower seeds with turmeric, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, dehydrated onion, and sea salt.
Notes from our vendors:
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
This strange spring weather continues, resulting in all the spring perennials blooming at the same time. The woodland and sun phlox, columbine, coreopsis, vinca, and catchfly are still glorious. Joining them in bloom this week are the astilbes, early carnations, Sweet Williams (dianthus), Foam Flower & Jacob’s Ladder, as well as a few early azaleas. You can definitely set these perennials in your garden now, although I would wait a couple more weeks to add any annuals you might want. We also have lots of different herbs and several nice varieties of hanging baskets for your summer porch or patio.
We will soon have tomato and pepper plants in several varieties. It’s a bit early to plant them now, but you are welcome to email me at tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com for a list of varieties and to reserve your vegetable plants.
From Sean with Nuance Coffee & Tea:
Nuance Coffee & Tea has added 2 new coffee offerings this week. An organic Sulawesi Peaberry, from Indonesia, and a Fair Trade Certified Rwandan from Africa. Enjoy!
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.
