Market News

Welcome to August and hard to believe that school starts this week for many people. We have tomatoes and peppers galore this morning. We start off with 24 different options of tomatoes for you from Cedar Thicket Farm, Flying S Farms, Rocky Glade Farm and White City Produce and Greenhouse.

My wife Tish has returned from summer travels and is making bouquets from Erdmann Farm flowers. Apples and peaches make their first appearance of the year from Rainbow Hill Farm. Kelly Creek Farm returns with her granola this week.

Wild Flours needs to take another week off but will return next week.

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! I am taking a break from recipes this week. If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.

The recipe this week is actually suggested back to school snacks from Jenny with JENuine Health.

After school snack ideas using the Seeds of Success:

  • Tuity Fruity Tuna – Mix tuna, diced apples and Greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey. Enjoy tuna on crackers or honey wheat bread topped with Early Bird Mix.
  • EGG-elicious – Mix chopped hard boiled eggs, bread and butter pickles, celery, and mayonnaise. Serve on Flying S Farms Wheat Blend Sourdough with Sweet & Salty Seagull mix on top.
  • Hummus Heaven – Spread a layer of hummus on a piece pita bread. Top with Munchy Mockingbird Mix
  • PBB – Peanut Butter & Bananas – Slice bananas into coins and top with your favorite nut butter. Dip bananas in Cuckoo Cocoa Banana mix. Serve with a tooth pick. You can freeze them for a frozen delight.
  • Avocado Skewers – Cut avocado into chunks. (Make sure it’s not too ripe.) Alternate avocado and grape tomatoes on a long tooth pick. Squeeze lemon or lime juice on the skewers and serve with Sweet & Spicy Love Birds.
  • Cucumber Crackers – Slice cucumbers into circles. Mix whipped cream cheese with dill and spread on top of the cucumber “cracker”. Top with Munchy Mockingbird Mix.
  • Peanut Butter Toast – Toast whole grain bread and spread almond butter on top. Sprinkle Cuckoo Cocoa Banana mix on top for an Amazing Super Snack.
  • Chicken Salad – Top your favorite chicken salad with the Early Bird Mix. Serve in a wrap for a snack that kicks it up a notch!
