Our Aloe vera plants will help heal cuts and burns from winter-time cooking. And our wandering Jews and spider plants in two colors will fill your windows with green and colorful foliage. I also have two very large hanging baskets, one Swedish ivy and one blooming flame violet, which would make spectacular gifts for the gardener with a winter birthday. Check out our beautiful houseplants, and add one to your home, or that of a friend, this week!

PLEASE NOTE————-We will be CLOSED the week of December 28 with no ordering. -—————————————

Good morning and we hope you are all warm and safe after last night’s severe storms.

We have many new items listed this week from Valentine Family Farm: seasonings to herbal remedies!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a light pink and a red Christmas cactus listed. These are GORGEOUS plants to have or to gift! My mother gave me some several years ago and they continue to provide much needed winter cheer with their right-on-time for Christmas showy blossoms! I have even forced a second bloom by repotting!

White City Produce & Greenhouse will be with us this week.

Ann E May’s Gluten Free Goodies has listed several new items this week and will have a table set up for tasting! EVEN if you aren’t “gluten free” these baked goods are wonderful treats!

As I type this and try to think of all the wonderful items to mention on the market… I think of ALL our vendors because everything is wonderful!!

Nature’s Wealth added popcorn that has been grown “on the mountain” for over 30 years! It is small-grained, tender, and hulless. It is DELICIOUS!!!

we have jams, jellies, tempeh, meat of all kinds, milk, yogurt, eggs, baked goods, soaps, and so so much more to choose from!

If you don’t usually take time to browse for a new staple item, please do.. we probably have it!

Always wanted to help someone understand that eating naturally raised, produced or locally made foods/skin care has many benefits? Give them a market gift card, stock their fridge, pantry, freezer and bathroom with a basket of goods from a variety of growers/makers! Who wouldn’t love that gift? It gives to the community by supporting the vendors of the market (then they are able to provide for their families) and gives a wealth of knowledge through experiencing!

All done shopping :D

We will have vendors set up until Christmas each week. This week is Ann E Mays Gluten Free Goodies , Botanical Harmony Farm and possibly several others! We hope you will take an extra moment to browse their products and get to know the people behind the order buttons and photos!

Have a wonderful week!

See you Wednesday!

Good morning!

You know that amazing space we have for market pickup? L & L Contractors graciously extends a community welcome to us each week! What a gift and a blessing! We thank them so very much for the hospitality!

We hope this note finds you well and ready for a new week! We have still so much local goodness available from our incredible community of growers/makers/fishermen! This market has such beautiful abundance doesn’t it?

White City Produce and Greenhouse* is with us this week and next!

Frontier Family Farm continues to provide tender peas and out of this world brussel sprouts. The peas are great raw and in salads. If you are unsure of Brussels sprouts, try steaming and with butter and seasoning. Don’t overcook, that is what gives them a bad name.

Flying S Farms has added several delicious-looking cakes to their lineup. A red velvet and white layer cake which could be a wonderful holiday desert addition.

The Krafty Kupboard added more giftables to the selections at amazing, mark-down prices.

Dylem and Caleb will be back next week with eggs!

Need gift ideas?

Valentine Family Farm pickled anything, Short Mountain Cultures hot sauce and tempeh, Seeds of Success seasonings all in a basket and viola!

I think my gift-giving has never been so simple this year!

Good morning all!

Are you thinking about Christmas now that Thanksgiving has passed?

Stones River Market has you COVERED for so many gift options!

First:
Stephanie with The Krafty Kupboard has fantastic ideas:

Before creating organic, local foods, The Krafty Kupboard was in the hand-made gifting business. She specialized in hand-made gifts for mothers, Babies and young children, but also made other items. While she loves to sew and create, she no longer has time to maintain this business. She’s clearing out her inventory and selling her hand-made gifts for 50%-75% off their original prices for the holiday season. Look under “hand-made & gifts” to see her products. You can find things such as child aprons, baby blankets, burp cloths, breastfeeding covers, pacifier clips, child leg warmers, infinity scarves and more.

Then there is ALWAYS a chance to pull together an amazing “locally produced” basket assortment of Seeds of Success seasonings, Short Mountain Cultures sauces, Valentine Family Farm pickled delights, "Flying S Farms* sweet bread along with Wild Flours loaves and Marcy Jams jellies. Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has wonderful, hand-made “kissing balls” featuring incredible greenery! Double Star Bar Farms* candied ginger (it’s addictive!) and Ann E May’s Gluten Free Goodies has listed new thumbprint cookies along with Fresh roasted, organic coffees from E & B Coffee would be delicious!

Even giving someone a stocked fridge or freezer of meats from Farrar Farms, Wedge Oak or West Wind Farms, producefrom Frontier Family Farm and Rocky Glade Farm and Virgin Bay Seafood would be appreciated! Check out all the options available!

The ideas are nearly limitless for each person on your list!

How about sending someone a gift certificate and paying to have their order shipped to them! All done and always appreciated!

Third, there’s Botanical Harmony Farm who is listing two gift sets. One is a soap/spray/hand balm assortment and the other is a kitchen/bath set.

Finally and so important, there are gift certificates for not only Stones River Market as a whole but also several other vendors have them listed for their products!

I know I am forgetting so many items and many different gift ideas but all this to say, check it out… your shopping is complete right here with Stones River Market!

One more item of note!
We are giving away TWO free tickets to the Christmas Schooner at The Center for the Arts all you have to do is order this week to have one entry. The tickets are for the December 16, 7:30 show.

Based on the true story of the Rouse Simmons, a Great Lakes schooner whose captain risks life and limb to transport fir trees from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to Chicago’s German immigrants during the late 19th century. Notable songs from the musical include “We All Have Songs,” “Pass it On,” “What is it About the Water?,” “The Christmas Schooner,” “Questions,” and “Hardwater Sailor.”

Extremely touching story and sure to be a Christmas favorite!

See you Wednesday!

As always, we thank L & L Contractors for their hospitality and generosity in hosting our market! Please remember them in your contracting needs! They support us so please return the support to them!

See you Wednesday!

Good Frosty Morning!

We hope your holiday was wonderful and to kick off the back to regular-life schedule, be sure to get your healthy, locally produced goods right here!

Ann E Mays would like to thank all of the generous customers who bought pies and cakes from the girls last week! My girls are baking their fingers off trying to make Christmas money for gifts and we truly appreciate your support. We will be taking a much needed vacation this week but will be back with pies, cakes and delicious Christmas cookies on December 4. We look forward to seeing you all then!

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has been working hard to be ready for your holiday needs! She sends this note

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some things to help with your Christmas decorations. This year, in addition to our kissing balls, we also have centerpiece baskets of greenery. They’re selling as fast as I can make them at this time, so place your order soon.

Botanical Harmony Farm has added an Organic Green Tea and Sea Clay soap to their lineup. Amazing antioxidants and pulling power to help clear oily skin yet not leave it dry! Goat milk is nourishing and helps repair skin cells!

They also have a new Eco-Soy Candle in a variety of Fragrances.

“While we don’t use any fragrance oils in our skin care, Phtalate-free fragrance oils along with exceptionally clean-burning, renewable, soy-oil and paper core wicks are a great choice for burning in the home.
We love the scents we have chosen and hope you will too! There will be seasonal favorites, themed gift sets and more to come! We are working hard to be ready for your holiday gifting!”

THANKSGIVING week (ONLY) we will have delivery and pickup on TUESDAY, November 22, 2016. Same place and time… just switching to Tuesday.

Lovely, strange-weather days! I will take this and enjoy beautiful nights with friends and family. We have been using our local produce in a variety of quick soups so we can stay on-the-go. If you are short of time,

Chef Jenny with Seeds of Success offers her Dill-icious potato soup (along with other incredible soups/snacks. The potato soup is a hearty and “dill-icious” blend of yellow and red potatoes, locally grown garlic, homemade cashew cream, and SOS Dillicious. It is a quick and convenient comfort food to enjoy from a bowl. Defrost, heat and eat.

Rocky Glade Farm has added a few “newish” things to the market…Starbor Kale is back and hakurei turnips make a return. Also time to start thinking about Thanksgiving and that means sweet potatoes. We have Carolina Ruby, purple skin, bright orange flesh, great all purpose for casseroles, baking etc. Also, Covington is popular with bronze skin and orange flesh, again, great for all applications. We have them available by the pound, 5 pound bag or by the half bushel. Half bushel of course being the best deal of the day for all the sweet potato fans out there!

Flying S Farms has added Rosa Bianca Heirloom Eggplant- Lovely and delicious Italian heirloom: ideal for slicing, baking and roasting. Rosy-lavender with white shading, the fruits of this beautiful Italian heirloom small type 3/4-1 pound. With a mild, non-bitter flavor, the fruits’ robust shape is ideal for slicing, baking or roasting.
They have also added frozen blackberries,a tart cherry jam, and shallots to their amazing market offerings.

Sweet Pea is new this year and we love the offerings they bring. Bamboo stakes, FRESH CUT herbs, tomatillas that have been a salsa staple at my house for weeks now and delicious peppers.
Linda will be set up with her handiwork this week to get a jump start for cold-weather and holiday shopping.

West Wind Farms and Wedge Oak are taking holiday turkey reservations and have different size options available. You place the order, pay the deposit with your normal pickup and that is subtracted from your total when the turkey arrives! FRESH and local for the holidays!

Rainbow Hill has several varieties of apples! Don’t miss your chance to have these incredible, local, in-season apples while they last! Carol said that she thinks/hopes they will hold until Thanksgiving so there are a few more weeks!

As always, we thank L & L Contractors for their hospitality and generosity in hosting our market! Please remember them in your contracting needs! They support us so please return the support to them!
