Market News

Welcome back to another week of locally grown and made products. The pick up schedule for Murfreesboro customers returns to Wednesday. There is still no pick up available for Nashville customers this week.

Several vendors are taking a vacation this week. They include Botanical Harmony, Chef Jenny, Flying S Farm, Kelly Creek Farm and the Blue Porch. White City Produce and Greenhouse has completed their growing season and will return this spring. Tami sends this message to everyone – I just want to say thank you to everyone for your support this season. We’re looking forward to a great 2015! Happy New Year!

Rocky Glade Farm tells me they only have two to three more weeks left for sweet potatoes. They still have half and full bushel quantities on the Carolina Ruby. Covington variety is very limited.

West Wind Farm has re-stocked many of their beef products including ground beef.

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has this message:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some very nice herb baskets which will make useful as well as pretty table decorations this winter. With a little water and a little artificial light, they will produce clippings for your wintertime cooking. Available herbs are:

  • LEMON BALM
  • MINTS (chocolate, peppermint, pineapple [variegated], spearmint, grapefruit)
  • OREGANO (Greek or variegated)
  • ROSEMARY
  • RUE
  • SAGE, Garden
  • STEVIA (small but healthy)
  • THYME (Lemon, English, silver-edged, citrus, lime)

Please specify three herbs to be included. Finished basket is approximately 12" diameter and 6" tall.

We have a couple left-over kissing balls that will make good decorations for your winter garden for several more weeks. Right now these are on after-Christmas close-out special, marked half-price.

We also have some other nice houseplants, dish gardens, windowsill gardens, and hanging baskets to brighten up your indoor wintertime. Check them out on the market!

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!

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! If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.

I am taking a break from recipes. Look for them to return soon.

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!
