Good Morning Market family!

Marcy Jams! is away this week and returns next week with new stock!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added several aloe potted plants— This is a larger plant, and includes several ‘pups’ in the pot. Aloe vera is a succulent plant with a clear gel inside the leaves that is used often used as an alternative medical treatment for burns and skin care. Grow inside in bright light, or outside in shade in warm weather, watering every 2-3 weeks. Aloe vera does not like wet feet. To use, remove leaves at the base with a sharp knife, then put in a sandwich bag, wrap in foil, and store in the fridge to reuse for 4 or 5 days.

Good Morning Market family!

White City Produce & Greenhouse and Wild Flours return this week while Double Star Bar Farms is still off. Seeds of Success will also be off this week.

There is plenty to be found on our incredible market!

Virgin Bay Seafood is all about sustainability and bringing products to the mainland that we couldn’t otherwise find so fresh! Wild Alaskan Seafood in TN!! 100% wild caught/ 100% sustainably harvested and available year round. Virgin Bay Seafood offers salmon, whitefish and shellfish. The even have a quarterly seafood CSA. Look under the new “seafood” category.

From The Krafty Kupboard

The Krafty Kupboard has been working hard restocking many of your favorite products. She has soups (split peas, lentils, chili), breads (cornbread, biscuits), snacks (granola, trail mix) breakfast items (pancakes, cream of wheat), various types of hummus and much more. All of her products are organic, most are gluten-free, and many are vegan.

I will add that they are ALL healthy, delicious options!

Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse says:
This crazy weather has finished off the daffodils, sadly, but that just means that the greenhouses at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are coming alive, with the early spring things beginning to bloom. Your garden will delight in the addition of some color to welcome spring very early each year. And can the herbs be far behind? We also have some really nice hanging baskets available, which will need to stay indoors till end of April. Watch the “Live Plants” category, as new plants will be made available each week. Since these are listings from previous years being made available again for this season, they will not show up in “What’s New” at the top of the page.

Ferris Family Farms has lots of delicious greens listed!

Frontier Family Farm also has plenty of delicious spinach!

This week we made a mushroom/spinach cheese stick that was out of this world! Did take any photos but wish we had!

Botanical Harmony Farm will have alfalfa and broccoli sprouts this week.

Good Morning!!

Lots on offer this week and a couple vendors away!

Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this:
Spring is almost here! The daffodils are in glorious bloom at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! Brighten your dining table or bedroom with one dozen beautiful long-stemmed garden-fresh blooms, in a pretty vase tied with a bow. Flowers have white petals and yellow centers, and are very fragrant, my garden favorite for many years. This bouquet is perfect for gift-giving to someone special or to yourself.

The late winter-flowering perennials are also beginning to bloom in the greenhouse. Look for weekly additions to the market under “Live Plants”.

Wild Flours wants everyone to note that their elderberry syrup and ground flours/meal is available each week. The breads are available every other, this is an off week. Than you!

Rocky Glade is away this week as well as White City Produce & Greenhouse

Frontier Family Farm is with us and continues to provide superior greens!

Marcy Jams is away this week and returns next week.

Flying S Farms has a new muffin listed!: Their Delicious Bran Raisin Muffins are a great way to start your morning or have a delicious snack during the day. Wonderful balance of Bran and Raisins with a hint of cinnamon to enjoy with your coffee or a glass of milk.

I want to take a moment to thank our gracious host, L & L Contractors for setting aside time and space in their office home to allow market pickup! If you see Tammy at the front desk or any of the welcoming staff, please say hello! When you are considering remodeling or home improvements/repairs, please speak with Donnie Lester to find out what they can do for you! Just looking around in their building says a lot about their care and craftsmanship!

This week brings White City Produce & Greenhouseback and Rocky Glade off.

Frontier Family Farm is providing some amazing Brussels Sprouts, spinach and lettuces to get us through the winter produce needs. We have used the spinach in soups and fritters! YUM!

Jenny with Seeds of Success has a new, updated and gorgeous website: sostn.com
Try some, or all, of her seasonings on your own gourmet creations and check out some customer favorites such as the chick patties!

Farrar Farms has you covered in the beef department with steaks, chorizo and bones for your stock pot! A 5th generation farm in Lynchburg: “We allow our cattle to grow up naturally without the use of any artificial growth hormones, steroids, or other additives. In addition to leisurely grazing the beautiful pasture on the rolling hills of Farrar Farm, our cattle also get an additional (and, at least if you’re a cow, delicious) supplement feed of spent mash from the local distilleries. The outcome is tastier, more tender beef, happier and healthier cows, and a better environment.”

Check out the duck sausage from Wedge Oak it gets rave reviews from customers!

Benjamin’s Organic Sprouts is Back with the alfalfa, broccoli and zesty mix! All great for sandwiches and salads or just popped into your mouth for a delicious snack.

Wild Flours will be off for 2 weeks and then back the second week of February! They will be with us every other week so be sure to stock up.

Flying S Farms and Double Star Bar Farms also have incredible breads!

Want to try Botanical Harmony Farm soap but not commit to the large bar? Try the sale cuts (which actually we have run out of so are cutting perfect bars in half because the cuts are so popular!). They are $2.50 a cut and we choose the scent. What a deal! \Organic, all-natural AND affordable.

This weather is gearing thoughts towards gardens and flowers!! Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a few lovely hanging baskets and house plants to keep your fingers green until time to dig deep in the soil!

Don’t forget that we can deliver to your door! Select delivery and add to your cart just as you would any product check that your address is correct in the system, set a cooler out and we will deliver during the normal pickup hours on Wednesday.

See you Wednesday!
