News from our Growers:

Short Mountain Cultures: we are best known for making a wide range of small batch fermented foods and beverages such as sauerkraut, kimchi, coconut Kefir(non-dairy), tempeh (soy & soy free), water kefir and kombucha. SMC also offers a varied selection of organic bulk foods from their shop ranging from beans and grains to dried fruits and raw nuts. Also amongst many locally made/ sourced options are Hatcher Dairy Milks and Alchemy of Sol Soaps.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Spring has sprung! Or is it still Christmas? The seasons are on a collision course at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! This week we have a few pink and a couple of red Christmas cacti (technically Thanksgiving cacti, but no one really calls them that!) blooming again. These are not huge plants, but each one has at least half-a-dozen buds coming on. When given cool growing temperatures of 55-60F and not watered for a month, they will bloom multiple times in a year, but each bloom cycle will be less prolific. These plants will brighten your windowsill or plant area nicely.

And finally, the long-awaited daffodils are opening! If you need some bright yellow cheer on your dining table as badly as I do, grab one of these beauties! The early ones will last another week if the weather is not too warm. Then the later, multi-colored ones will bloom. Get yourself a now-and-later! And if you have a vase left over from last year, I will be glad to take it back.

Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week! We have Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread(with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts(cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies(chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!

Sassy Cassie: we are rolling out a special casserole for St. Patrick’s Day. Our Reuben Casserole has layers of root veggies, homemade sauerkraut, corned beef, Russian Dressing, Swiss cheese and buttery Rye breadcrumbs. It will make your Irish eyes smile!

M&S Farms Angus Beef Producers: At M&S Farms we take our time growing our cattle. It’s a traditional program, that allows for a better yield and quality beef. Only the best cattle for you the consumer. Tender & tasteful is the goal. We enjoy the feedback from you and will continue to provide a time-tested product for your dining experience.

Fungalicious: Have you tried our Mushroom Powders? We have Cajun Seasoned Oyster that is awesome on steaks coated with olive oil before grilling or roasting. Hickory Smoked Oyster is good on just about everything – not overpowering,* Lion Mane Powder* – add to many dishes without having to actually prepare them from fresh. Also have Oyster Powder that can be added as a thickener to soups or sauces, very good on scrambled eggs.

Body & Soul Teas:
I have added a few new delicious teas that will help with Spring arriving soon.
Rooty Tooty: A blend of roots including Sarsaparilla give this blend a slight root beer taste.
Cool It: Anti-inflammatory herbs Turmeric and Meadosweet combined with Marshmallow and Ginger.
Glow: Beauty comes from within. Elderberries, Red Rooibos, Rose, Cardamom, Hibiscus, and Orange peel combine to lend anti-inflammatory support to skin and digestive system.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farm): Back on the Market this week with several of their beneficial teas and more.

Flying S Farms:
We have several selections of Sour Dough Breads and Sweet Breads and Bars and of course Biscuits and Cornbread. Are you in a Jam? You can’t go wrong giving a jar of our Jams just to cheer someone’s day up. New this week ‘Burst of Berries Jam" Blueberries, Strawberries, Black Berries and Black Raspberries, it is ’BERRY GOOD! Warm up with our HOT Pepper Jams:…Ghostly Pear Jelly it is milder than or other pepper jams, Jalapeno Cowboy Candy, these all go well with our Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread’s they are great for spicing up many things! Christmas Jam (because it contains Fresh Cranberries + Strawberry) not just for Christmas its delicious anytime, Almost Seedless Black Raspberry and Wild Fox Grape. Check back I’ll be ‘jammin’ somemore the next couple day, maybe bringing back some old favorites. Do you have a favorite jam that is not on our list? Let us know, we can probably make it for you.
