Calico Farm: UPDATE OOPS! I apologize to Calico Farm I missed getting their news in the Weblog this morning – Catherine

Here we are enjoying beautiful spring weather & Easter is only 2 weeks & markets’ away. Do you have all your baking essentials ready to go? If not, or you’re running low, be sure to get our ever-popular homemade vanilla extract and organic vanilla sugar. Both are made with organic Madagascar vanilla beans and will add special, rich flavor to all your baked goods. They also make perfect, unique hostess gifts.

Back this week are our famous lemon blueberry scones – if you know, you know lol. They are one of 2 products that started our entire business as they are the moistest, most flavorful scones you’ve ever had. These are our customers’ words, not ours! This particular flavor is so bright & bursting with flavor, why wouldn’t you try them? Added bonus? They’re all organic & made with dairy-free butter from heart-healthy coconut & cashew oil – not canola or sunflower/safflower oil like most. Add a 3 or 6 pack to your cart today.

Kumaika Coffee: If you have not woke up with our Coffee, you are missing out! We hace Dark, Medium and Light Roasted Beans. We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler.

Backyard Tailz: Treat your birds arriving from their winter break with my new Cardinal, Chickadee, Woodpecker snacks. Variety of mixes. Still have a few hanging wreaths availabe.

Tailwynds Farm:
Several cuts of Beef on Sale and other assorted cuts of beef available, Coconut Pie, Oreo Cookie Pie and Strawberry Pie.

Valley View Farm & Garden: Crocheted Baby Blankets and Decorative Eastern Bluebird Nesting Boxes and several selections of Dried HOT Peppers along with dried Floral Bouquet.

Safe & Sound Soap Co.: All of my products I have created with my own recipes, using non toxic all natural ingredients. I offer my all natural Laundry Soap, which is made with castile soap and essential oils. This laundry soap cleans your clothes very well without using harsh chemicals or fragrances. I also have available my Whipped Sugar 2 in 1 Body Scrub and Wash. This scrub produces a rich lather that leaves your skin soft and smooth hours after using it.
This week my featured items are:
Small Batch Lye Bar Soap
This soap is carefully hand crafted in small batches using all natural ingredients. This week I restocked the Honey & Oat scent. This soap is made with honey from my family’s bee hives, and a special colloidal oat blend, and sweet almond oil. These ingredients combined help fight dry skin and heal blemishes leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated and smooth. I also have Tea Tree and Mint, as well as my Citrus soap and I offer Unscented bars for those who may have skin sensitivity to essential oils.

Lavender Cottage: We are excited to be adding a few more new items. Some seasoning mixes as well as a new powder to our line up. When weather permiting, we plan to be on the porch Wednesday during pickup so you can view and purchase from our inventory.

Pinky’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.

RC Farms: We have several items restocked and frozen produce, and
delicious desserts, we’ve been working and preparing our tunnels for spring produce. Spring will be here before you know it!

Triple LLL Farm: We have our “MARCH” and a few February specials posted. We also have added Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks still on sale. We also have added more eggs available

Nash Philly: Nashville Hot Chicken Parmesan? My creative twist on two great dishes. It’s everything you would expect from a chicken parm dish. Tender pan fried chicken cutlets, pounded out, and seasoned with garlic, onion, cayenne, paprika, white pepper and freshly crackled black pepper. Breaded and pan fried to golden brown and delicious. And covered with homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Served with spaghetti noodles. For those of you not keen to spicy things we are also doing a regular chicken Parmesan as well.

Beef Wellington a true American classic. Seared 6 oz sirloin steaks that are wrapped in prosciutto exclusively being sold from the Hammery here in Murfreesboro. And a sautéed mushroom and onions mixture ( mushroom duxelle) wrapped in puff pastry. As you bake this dish watch it come to life with its flakey buttery crust. Surely to wow yourself, significant other or guests.

Collard greens done differently but well. Try these creamed collard greens. It’s like a hardy spinach and artichoke dip but without the need of having chips, but a good piece of bread goes very well with this side.

Flying S Farms: FRESH FARM EGG SPECIAL, WE LOWERED OUR PRICE THIS WEEK…We have a few new Happy Chickens added to our flock, don’t be surprised is you see a different colored egg in your carton! The ladies are very happy with the weather getting warmer, we are overrun with eggs! So we have a really good Eggcellent Special this week, single dozen or 3 dozen Fresh Farm Eggs Special. Also our have our delicious Sour Dough Breads, along with delicious Brownies, Biscuits, Friendship Breads, still have few Jams available, we will Jamming soon updating our inventory.
