PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU WILL BE LATER THAN 6:15..we can make arrangements for you to pickup your order..
Welcome our newest Grower, “Safe and Sound Soap”: We want to offer people more natural options for cleaning supplies, body products, and beauty products. Everything I sell is homemade with essential oils.
Sow’s Ear Piggery: We just picked up a new pork order from the butcher. This pork was finished on acorns, and the samples we’ve tried have a rich flavor and light marbling in the cuts. Restocking this week: ground pork, breakfast sausage, and chops. More to come soon, including pork roasts for Christmas and New Years.
Oakview Farm: We have a variety of fresh, tasty food this week: Chess pie, peppermint patties, radishes, and scallions! We also have our sourdough bread, focaccia, and new sourdough garlic bites! And, our high tunnel is busting out with greens, so we are bringing the greens to you in our Salad Greens Mix! It has a beautiful lettuce blend as well as mustard, turnips, arugula, collards, and kale!
Yentz Family Farm:
Love our jarred items and snacks? Share them with your loved ones for the holidays. Our goodies make great Christmas gifts and can be ordered alone or in a gift basket. Check out our new listings including our holiday candy options!
Did you know that our pies and baked goods can be frozen until Christmas or New Years? Our Apple and Mixed Berry Crumb Pies Freeze great, as do our rolls and breads. I do not recommend freezing the pumpkin pie though.
Simple plastic wrap or ziplock bag and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to use them simply defrost in the fridge the day prior.
Carol’s Herbs (CS3 Farms):
We are back on the market from a wonderful anniversary break. 32 years and the good Lord keeps our marriage strong.
This week we have a few elderberry cream cheese pies ready. They are a great addition to holiday parties. They come to you frozen and you can take it out of the freezer an hour before serving.
We also have a few elderberry syrups left and lots of all in one honeys to help prevent or limit cold and flu. Stock up. They last the whole season.
Don ‘t forget about our nut varieties – they are perfect for gifting being 10 oz & in resealable bags. Be sure to grab them for all your holiday events to fill those snack bowls, charcuterie/grazing boards or even road trips. Our sweet & spicy pecans and herbed & spicy mixed nuts are unlike anything you’ve ever had and our cinnamon sugared pecans are WAY better than Buc-ees!
For all your holiday baking, or for the baker/foodie in your life, be sure to check out our homemade vanilla extract & organic vanilla sugar. Together they make magic and a truly unique gift, we’ll call it a baker’s bundle.
Also new this week is our organic chocolate dipped Norwegian krumkaker cookies. These are an old-world Nordic tradition and are as beautiful as they are delicious. Available plain as well, both can be enjoyed as is, filled with whipped cream & chocolate chips or berries…your choice!
Finally, check out our espresso & regular peppermint barks, organic chocolate syrup (I promise you this is our new favorite product!!!), house blended teas, shower steamers & bath sachets (listed in wellness section). I think we can all agree that we can use some of these treats in our lives this time of year.
Quarter Spring Farm: Not sure what to get for everyone on your list this year? Everybody uses soap. Or at least they ought to. And Quarter Spring Farm has a wide selection of superb skin-softening soaps available on the Stones River market. All of them are made with our fresh goat milk, which is great for your skin. And the scents are unique and delightful. We also have a full selection of pastured poultry, grown and processed on the farm. It tastes better than conventional chicken, and is better for you too. In addition, we just received 2 lambs back from our USDA inspected processor. We are fully stocked with all of your favorite cuts, roasts, and ground lamb. Order some today and find out why home grown is so much better.
Flying S Farms: All of our Wheat and Plain sourdough is available this week whole or sliced, full size or half. Several varieties of Friendship Bread, will add a new flavor- Red Velvet, perfect for upcoming gifts or parties, they will make wonderful gifts. Experience all our Friendship Breads lightly toasted, great treat. Our chicken eggs are also available.
Pinky’s Micros: 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 packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness. Put them on your sandwich, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.
We love putting them on avocado toast, salads, wraps, B.L.T. Sandwich and more!
Our Fall Seasonal Chef’s Blend: Pink Lipstick Chard, Rutabaga, Purple Kohlrabi, Nasturtium Leaves as well as what we grow all the time. Peas Shoots, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic Salad Mix and Sunflower Shoots.
