Grower News:

SPRING MEADOW FARM: Welcome Back on the Market with some of their great items. Fresh cut Cilantro along with Fresh Cut Dill and Fresh Cut Mint, Granola, Kale, Red Leaf ettuce, Romaine and Sugar Pod Snap Peas.,

Valley View Farm and Garden: this week added Radishes, Pak Choy both fall crops grown organically. We also have added Potpourri using the dried flowers all grown on the farm. We also have added various essentials oils to provide a wonderful scent for the home or office.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): We have shifted to making herbal supplements that come in dropper forms. The Lion’s mane is known for its help with brain cognition. The Reishi is known for helping with thyroid issues. They are both also known for helping with the immune system.
This week I have more elderberry syrup. I have plenty of elderberry/ spilanthes tinctures on hand for those who do not prefer the syrup for their fight against viruses through the winter months.
Herbal honeys that I am straining out this week are the Tulsi honey and a lavender chamomile honey.
Finally we have a large sweet basil and a tall Thai basil that will be made into pesto to beat the frost. We will have several of those on the market. They are great to set out a few hours before ready to enjoy them.

Yentz Family Farm: I am doing my best to upload my lettuce this evening. I am guessing a bit and hope to not run short but weather permitting we should have a good lettuce show this week. We are going to cover for the frost and hope for the best. We have several delicious ‘treats or desserts’ items.

Rainbow Hill Farm: We have several varieties of apple this week:

Rome – Dark Red, Mild Flavor, good for both cooking and baking
Jonagold -This apple is a cross of Jonathan and Golden delicious, a tart flavor with some sweetness.
Winesap – A hard tart apple. Great for cooking

Lavender Cottage: Several of their items would go great as Holiday Gifts!

We have added Freeze Dried: Bell Pepper Powder, Tomato Powder, Kale Powder and Tomato. Also have Dried Salsa Mixes. We also have several Freeze Dried fruits and veggies. If anyone is looking for a particular freeze dried candy please by all means send me an email and I’ll do my best to have them available for next week. Freeze Dried Cantaloupe Bites, Golden Watermelon Bites, Gummy Geeks (Originally Nerd Gummy clusters), Dried Jalapeno Pepper, Dried Mixed Color Bell Pepper, Dried Rancher Puffs (Originally Jolly Ranches), Dried Scuttles (originally Skittles), Dried Strawberry Bites, Dried Sun Kist Cherry Tomatoes, Dried Taphy Bombs (aka Originally Salt Water Taffy), Dried Tomatoes and Dried Watermelon Bites, always check back, consently adding new items.

The Natural Nook:
Start buildng up your immune system. I will be offering homemade elderberry syrup as an effective remedy against colds and viruses as well homemade bone broth packed with collagen that can be used as broth in soups or just warmed to drink as is for health benefits.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present pounds and pounds of perfectly pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. Our scintillating skin softening soaps are suavely secented and smell supberb. We also have lamb products.

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.
