Notes from our vendors:

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse

This strange spring weather continues, resulting in all the spring perennials blooming at the same time. The woodland and sun phlox, columbine, coreopsis, vinca, and catchfly are still glorious. Joining them in bloom this week are the astilbes, early carnations, Sweet Williams (dianthus), Foam Flower & Jacob’s Ladder, as well as a few early azaleas. You can definitely set these perennials in your garden now, although I would wait a couple more weeks to add any annuals you might want. We also have lots of different herbs and several nice varieties of hanging baskets for your summer porch or patio.

We will soon have tomato and pepper plants in several varieties. It’s a bit early to plant them now, but you are welcome to email me at tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com for a list of varieties and to reserve your vegetable plants.

Happy Spring Everyone!

Botanical Harmony Farm will have part of a new, natural baby care line on the market this week. Cloth diaper safe rash cream with organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, arrowroot powder, beeswax, Calendula, Plantain, Chickweed and Pure Essential Oils and local, raw honey . This formula is non-greasy and is a wonderfully moisturizing, protective and healing for sensitive baby skin. Comes in two convenient sizes.

Baby Breathe (suggested for use with babies 3 months and older) – same incredible formula as our regular Breathe but with less concentration of essential oils due to the delicate nature of baby skin. 1 oz pot.

We are adding more to this line in the next week along with gift sets for baby and one just for the new mom.

As always, we thank you for supporting our family farm business. We are doing what we love with our loved ones because of you ! <3

Tracey, Ashleigh, Callum, Katherine, Wil, Benjamin, Andrew and all the farm animals.

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse -

Spring has come on with such a rush that this will be the last week for daffodil bouquets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. We also have several beautiful succulent planters which will be a great table or desk decoration or Easter gift. They can also be moved outside for the frost-free time, from early May until October. What wonderful, cheerful gifts for a friend, or for yourself!

Market News

We dodged a bullet this past week. We did receive the snow that was predicted but fortunately it arrived after everyone had picked up their orders. Temperatures are warming some this week so maybe Spring is not too far away.

Many of you know that I like to keep the Market open all year round. This month I am having to change that. Due to some logistics issues later this month, we will be closed the week of March 15th. Begin planning for that one week closure and stock up on needed items. I will send a reminder notice next week as well.

Frontier Family Farm has added a couple new lettuces. We have really enjoyed having his greens all winter long.

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too!

It has been a while since I have posted a recipe. Our recipe today comes from Chef Jenny using products from the Market including Jenny’s SOS Seasoning.

Quinoa & Mushroom Omelet
The quinoa gives this omelet a nice bite and the SOS Seasoning and mushrooms pair nicely with the eggs.

• 1 tbsp olive oil, for sautéing
• 2 cups mushrooms
• 1/4 cup oregano, dried
• 1 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
• 1-2 tbsp SOS Original Seasoning
• 8 large eggs
• butter, for cooking the eggs
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Pour olive oil in a fry pan. Heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and oregano. Cook mushrooms for 4 -5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add the cooked quinoa and SOS Original Seasoning. Remove from heat.
2. Preheat oven to warm.
3. Whisk 2 eggs at a time in a bowl. Put some butter in the bottom of a small non-stick pan. Heat over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the 2 eggs.
4. As the eggs begin to set, scrape the eggs on the sides of the pan towards the center. Tilt the pan until the raw egg flows to the bottom to cook.
5. When it is almost done, place a fourth of the mushroom/quinoa mixture and some cheddar cheese on one half/side of the eggs.
6. Fold the other half over the filling and allow the cheese to melt. Slide omelet onto a plate. Keep omelet warm in the oven as you prepare the other omelets.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 three more times.
8. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and additional SOS Original Seasoning to taste.

Servings: 4
Degree of Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Tips

• Quick-N-Easy Version: Pour all the eggs into a large oiled or buttered pan and scramble. When the eggs are almost done, add the quinoa/vegetable mixture and top with cheese
• Rice can be substituted for the quinoa.

Market News

The Market is back open this chilly morning and with a threat of our first major snow this winter.

We are still waiting for some warmer weather so that more produce will be available. You can still find plenty of baked goods, eggs, meat and poultry, and skin care products from our local growers and producers.

Chef Jenny’s message for the week:

Valentine’s Day brings out the sweetness in everyone. NEW this week from the Seeds of Success: Cuckoo Cocoa Bits. A snack that satisfies your sweet tooth and provides protein by combining toasted seeds with agave, cocoa, and a hint of peppermint. It’s a crunchy, chocolatey treat that is reminiscent of a cookie.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

It has been a while since I have posted a recipe. Everyone likes using slow cookers so I found this one from Yummly and A Year of Slow Cooking for you to try. You can read the entire story here.

Honey Garlic Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
serves 4

The Ingredients.

• 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 or one thigh per family member)
• 3 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup soy sauce (La Choy or Tamari wheat-free are gluten free)
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/3 cup honey

The Directions.

1. Use a 4-quart slow cooker (if using a 6-quart, this will cook faster. Check after 3 hours on high, 5 hours on low).
2. Put the chicken into your cooker. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, then pour evenly over the top.
3. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 (I’d go with low—-).
4. Serve with basmati rice and steamed or roasted vegetables.
