We look forward seeing you on the Porch this Wednesday, June 1st from 5-6:15 pm, with deliveries following. Know that our growers have the hour prior to get their products organized so things might be a bit hectic (and crowded) if

New’s from a few of our Grower’s:
Sow’s Ear Piggery: We will be off the market this week for restocking pork products. Please look for our return next week with some new cuts and usual favorites.
Bean Man: We’ve been planting our beans for the last few weeks so it’s been very busy on the farm. Our oats are doing very well and if you follow us on instagram or facebook at @tnbeanman you can see pictures of both throughout their seasons.
This week for the market, we will have our Gluten Free Cassava and Coconut Bread Loaves available. These are wonderful shortbreads (about 2-1/2" high at the crest x 5" wide and 8" long) which make nice sandwich breads or sides. Unlike a lot of gluten free breads, these are not crumbly so you can slice them thick or thin to your preference.
We also have our Fresh Dry Beans, Bean Mixes, Scottish Oatmeals, Gluten Free Flours and Ready to Mix Products. With the warm weather and more time outside, don’t forget our Black Bean Dip or Refried Bean Mixes for a quick and healthy snack or meal addition. Along with our Scottish Oatmeal, we have two pancake mixes available for some nice breakfast options.
Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and see you at the market!
