Weblog from a few of our Grower’s:
Keep a watch out….Strawberries are starting to make an appearance from several of our Growers, look in Fruits and Fruit Juice Catagory and scroll down to Strawberries. Best taste of Spring and a wonderful start to a whole new growing season.
Quarter Spring Farm: has as flight of fulgent eggs from our flock of free-range laying hens. We also have a scintillating stockpile of skin softening soaps, and a bevy of bold balms to cure your various ailments. We are lamentably low in stock on our chicken products, so load up your electronic carts while they are still available. And yes, I did get a thesaurus for Easter this year.
Bean Man: This week we have Gluten Free Cassava Flour Bread and Coconut Flour Bread in a loaf version. Both are great short bread loaves baked using our fresh flours and other ingredients. Look for them in the Baked Products category. In the coming weeks look for our Sourdough Bread in both a Vegan version and a version using eggs. As we mentioned last week, we won’t have the breads available every weekend but will have them for you as we are able. These will be a Stones River Market only offering.
We also have our Fresh Dry Beans, Mixes, Scottish Oatmeals, Gluten Free Flours and Ready to Mix products including 5 different Pizza Crust Mixes available for you to enjoy a healthy and delicious diet.
