Market News

Once again, I am on the road. Greetings from San Francisco. I am here for a little relaxation and some work. Trying to adjust to the time change has been a challenge.

We have a couple of producers return this week and several others taking a vacation. Rocky Glade Farm returns with spinach and mixed head lettuce. Ridiculous Chocolate also returns and has restocked his cayenne pepper and peanut butter varieties of chocolate.

Carol’s Vibration Cooking, Meadow Branch Beef, and Wild Flours are taking vacations from the Market. Watch for their return.

I want to thank Chef Jenny for her cooking demonstration last week. She provided two very tasty samples at pick up. This may become a regular event for Market night.

Here is a message from Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is listing the last of the daffodil bouquets this week. As I’m writing this on Saturday, we still have some nice blooms, but who knows whether they will last till market day? I appreciate your orders, but want you to be aware that I may have to remove these from your order. The half-price hanging baskets are now gone. I will have this season’s beautiful hanging baskets, including some new types, available in about a month, in time to put out on your porch or patio after last frost. Just about all the perennial plants are now available, young, vigorously growing plants that have not yet reached full blooming size – just right to brighten up your garden this spring.The flowering almond bushes are beginning to bloom. At 4-5 feet mature height, these beautiful bloomers would be a great addition to the midground or background of your landscape.

From West Wind Farms this week:

Easter is April 20. Start planning now for your Easter dinner!

You will find our spiral-sliced hickory smoked ham is easy to serve. We also have a couple other fully cooked smoed hams available. For an intimate family supper or a large dinner party, you will find just the ham for a special Easter meal!

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

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!
