Welcome to the second week of JUNE dust off your grills and prepare your firepits for some great cookouts and products from our Great Selection of Growers! There have been many local Farmer’s Markets that have opened, beat the heat and crowds and the challenge of parking and support the Growers on Stones River Market. Grower’s on our Market are local, within a 35 mile radius and a few of our Growers only sell through our Stones River Locally Market, thank you for supporting our local Grower’s.

Please share our market web address with your health-conscious friends, via text, email, or social media (and/or forward this message). https://stonesriver.locallygrown.net The more healthy members we have, the more variety of produce and product we can provide!

We look forward seeing you on the Porch this Wednesday, June 15th 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:

RC Farms: Along with a great assortment of produce and BEEF we now have some popular fruit available and more to come. Find Cantaloupes, Peaches & Cream Corn and Peaches this week. We’ve restocked our Beef selections.

Quarter Spring Farm: we have a plethora of plump chickens for your culinary escapades. We just finished processing our first batch of the year, so these are some fine fresh fowl. We also have our usual assortment of skin softening soaps and lotions. And we just introduced a brand new scent of lotion: coconut lime. Now you can smell like the beach, even if you’re actually stuck inland with the rest of us.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: we are back on the market this week with ‘NEW’ Non-GMO pork products, including pork tenderloin, cutlets, and chops, as well as roasts, ground pork, and mild pork sausage (no MSG).
You will notice some packaging changes with the ground products, as our butcher was unable to source the typically tube-like sleeves we are accustomed to getting. Also, this order was from a pig with a higher fat percentage due to its heritage breeding. In the past, if you have needed to add a little oil to fry our sausage or ground pork, this will not be necessary. In fact, you will be able to drain a couple of tablespoons of oil from your skillet. This rendered lard is excellent for sauteing garlic, onions, mushrooms, or cooking eggs. Studies have shown that outdoor, pasture-raised pigs have higher omega 3 and lower saturated fat than commercial pork raised in warehouses on concrete with no access to foraging. As always, Sow’s Ear Piggery pork is non-GMO fed and USDA inspected.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farm): We’ve got onions, radicchio, and giant red mustard! Also check out our pestos, gourmet mustards, and our beautiful wildflower arrangements.

Bean Man: It’s baking time again for the market! We will have our Gluten Free Cassava and Coconut Shortbreads this week and we will also offer a taller loaf for each one. Each is listed under Gluten Free in the Baked Products section of the Market as either a Short Bread (approximately 4.5 wide x 8.5 long x 2.5 high at the crest) version or Standard Version (approximately 3.5 wide x 8 long x 3.5 high at the crest) with each giving you 10-16 slices depending on your preference. BTW, the Coconut Bread is considered low carb (2.4 g net carbs at 10 slices per loaf).

Of course we have our full selection of Fresh Dry Beans and Mixes available along with our Scottish Oatmeals, Gluten Free Flours and Ready to Mix products covering a broad range of healthy dietary needs that you can truly enjoy. If you follow us on social media, we have been planting our next crop of beans and our last plant of oats is working its way to harvest. Remember, we are a Gluten Free farm and we grow or make all of our products that you see offered so everything is fresh, without chemicals and only offered in the same season of harvest.

Spring Meadow Farm: this week Bacon Cheese Quiche, Brussell Sprout Leaves, Cauliflower Leaves, Garlic Bulbs, Shallots, Yellow Onions.

Flying S Farms: This week we have our Fresh Farm Chicken and EGG BUNDLES-3 dozen, great savings! Green Garlic Bulbs and Garlic Scapes still available, Curly leaf lettuce, Several different varieties of Kale, Kohlrabi. Yellow Straight neck Squash, Cucumbers, Onions and Potatoes, Sour Dough Breads, Plain and the our Wheat Bread is Back. Few popular Jams are back with more to come this week – Just Strawberry, Seriously HOT Strawberry, Habanero Peach, Muscadine Grape Jelly and more!
