Market News
The Market is back open this morning. I return from my trip out west ready to get back to the farm and get more vegetables and flowers in the ground. April is not far away and should mean an end to this very cold winter we have had.
There will be normal deliveries this week for Nashville customers.
With my return, Carol’s Vibration Cooking and Meadow Branch Beef have listed their items on the Market. Wild Flours is still out this week.
I forgot to mention last week that Cedar Thicket Farm has re-stocked bay leaves.
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Recipes
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! Here is a simple recipe using Market produce that I found courtesy of Yummly and allrecipes.com. It is an easy roast that can be served with oven roasted vegetables. You can find the recipe here.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 pounds boneless chuck roast
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
2. Heat a heavy Dutch oven on top of the stove over medium high heat. Add oil, and sear meat in the center of the pan for 4 minutes. Turn meat over with tongs; sear all sides for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove meat from pan. Arrange onion, garlic, and 1 bay leaf in the bottom of the pan, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return meat to pan, place remaining bay leaf on top of meat, and cover.
3. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Reduce the heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove roast to a platter to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice, and top with onions and gravy.
I thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
