Growers Reports:
Welcome back M&S Farms: Bringing Families back to the supper table! Our little family farms was created to provide a healthy alternative to buying protein for your family. We have a small herd of Angus cattle. We feed a high quality grain based feed and we do vaccinate our livestock to protect against infection and disease. We believe that the animals health is just as important as our own health. We do breed our cattle right here on our little farm. All of them are gentle with the minimum amount of stress. This ensures a better quality of product then you’ll ever get from a grocery store.
Quarter Spring Farm: Do you want to know a great way to warm up in this frigid weather? Eat some farm fresh meat from Quarter Spring Farm. Our pasture raised chicken and grass fed lamb are a great way to pack in some extra calories on these cold days and nights. And you know our meats are great for you, with no antibiotics or growth hormones. Our all natural goat milk soaps and lotions are a great way to protect your skin when the thermometer dips so low. Try one of our amazing scents today to see for yourself why goats milk soap gets such great reviews.
Oakview Farm: Oakview Farm is excited to be back after the holidays! We hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and have stayed warm. We have our Salad Greens mix again this week (the precious greens survived the cold in our high tunnel with no problem!) We also have our homemade Chess pies, Peppermint Patties, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups! Of course, our famous non-yeasted Sourdough bread is on the market- both our regular sourdough boules and a Sourdough Banana bread.
Safe & Sound Soap Co. : If you want to experiment with switching over to natural products in your home check out my products! I first started making my natural body care and laundry products for my family and friends, but now it’s available from my family to yours! All of my products are made from natural ingredients. I also use high quality essential oils to scent all of my products.
Item of the Week: Hanging Car Diffuser!
These hanging diffusers are perfect to freshen up your car! These have a lighter scent than most car air fresheners, and you can control the amount of scent you want by simply tipping the bottle and letting the oils soak into the cap. These are made with essential oils and diffusing oils, and one of them will keep your vehicle smelling fresh for 2 weeks or more!
Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): Welcome to the post subarctic blast. I am writing this email before our hilly sheet of ice road has melted having faith the much warmer temps will melt the shady spots by Wednesday. We have freshly made elderberry syrup and plenty of elderberry spilanthes tincture to fight the colds. We use the tincture daily to keep any viruses at bay. They come in 4oz and 2oz sizes.
Pink’s Micros:
This is our WINTER microgren blend! Every season we create new blends to represent the time of year. OUR WINTER blend has ’YELLOW BEETS, RED PAC CHOI, IGLOO CAULIFLOWER and CURLY WATERCRESS.
What better way to start the New Year than with highly nutritional greens called Mirogreens? They pack 40 to 100% more vital nutrients than the adult verion. We grow organically with NON-GMO seeds and nutrient-dense soil. We look forward to providing the best for you in 2024.
NashPhilly: Soup season is here and I added a new soup, a hearty Manhattan clam chowder. Filled with juicy clams and tomatoes, chunky potatoes and carrots. Sure to warm you right up!
Some more hearty and warm dishes are my green bean casserole. And I am now making chicken rosemary pot pie. The casserole is sure to be a delightful side to any dish. I make my own cream of mushroom soup for this and finish it with Parmigiano cheese. The pot pie is what you would be expecting loaded with peas, carrots, potato with the added flavor of rosemary. Puff pastry is laid on top and acts as the pie crust.
Finally if you haven’t had a Philly cheese steaks in a while. Try one of mine! 100% 1/2 pound of rib eye meat, delicious homemade cheese wiz sauce, sautéed onions, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sure to be one of the best sandwiches you have ever had!
Calico Farms: Our dairy-free maple sea salt cookies are available in 6-packs & unlike any cookies you’ve had before. They are all organic & the perfect blend of sweet maple with a touch of pink Himalayan sea salt sprinkled on top. Get your hands on these customer favorites before they’re gone!
Our organic vegan chocolate syrup is SO rich in chocolate, it’s sinfully delicious & makes the perfect cafe mocha, chocolate milk or ice cream topping. Available in or canned 8-oz jars.
Be sure to check out our spicy herbed mixed nuts & sweet & spicy pecans – a mouth watering snack straight out of the resealable bag, thrown in chicken salad, or topping your favorite mixed greens.
