Market News
Happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers out there. We appreciate everything you do especially feeding your family locally grown and made products.
There are several items of interest for the Market this week. Meadow Branch Beef is on vacation. Wedge Oak Farm has re-stocked their offerings of pork and chicken. With the weather warming up, there is an abundance of fresh produce this week including several varieties of kale and lettuce.
The marvelous weather and hens growing up nicely have left Rock Hill Road Farm with extra Junior sized eggs. RJ is running a sale on young pullet eggs for $3.00 per dozen.
Still more plants for your garden are being added. These include cucumbers, potatoes and peppers from Rainbow Hill Farm and White City Produce and Greenhouse.
Many of you were able to enjoy strawberries from Rocky Glade Farm last week. They have once again made them available to order. They will go quickly though.
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! There is an abundance of springs onions on the Market this week, so we are featuring a reciping using them from Yummly and Kalyn’s Kitchen.
Val’s Sweet Cabbage Slaw with Green Onion and Parsley
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe from my sister Val.)
Ingredients:
1/2 large head green cabbage (about 6 cups coarsely chopped cabbage)
3/4 cup chopped parsley (or more, you can use curly or flat parsley)
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (or more)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar or white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar or Splenda (use Splenda for South Beach Diet)
salt to taste (I used about 3/4 tsp. sea salt)
freshly ground black pepper to taste (I used about 1/4 tsp.)
Instructions:
Cut out core from cabbage, then thinly slice and coarsely chop slices until you have about 6 cups chopped cabbage. Wash and coarsely chop parsley, and thinly slice green onions.
In small bowl or glass measuring cup, stir together the canola oil, white balsamic vinegar or white vinegar, sugar or Splenda, salt, and pepper.
Put chopped cabbage, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions into salad bowl and toss to combine. Add just enough dressing to moisten salad, and toss again. (You may not need all the dressing.) Taste to see if you want more salt or pepper, then serve.
This will keep for a day or so in the fridge, although I think it’s better freshly made when the cabbage has more crunch.
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!
