News From Our Growers:
Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): We have more forage greens – get them while they are available! They blend well in salads and sandwiches with rosemary thyme hummus, your choice of our gourmet mustards or shrubs, and a dollop of one of the tasty krauts from Short Mountain…It’s about time to pick up the last batch of elderberry and fire cider for the season.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: I’m suddenly finding myself into the beginning of the spring season. Who knew it would come on this quickly?…
Surprise! The very early perennials are in bloom at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, and they could brighten your garden too. This week’s beauties include: Lenten rose, wild ginger, green Jacob’s ladder (Greek valerian), lavender woodland Phlox stolonifera, vinca (periwinkle or creeping myrtle), and candytuft. They are all in limited supply, so order early. The weather should be great for planting this week. But warm enough to plant means too warm for daffodils. This will probably be the last week of blooms, but I should have lots this week as they come on fast in the warmer weather. Get yours right away!
Mushamo Valley: Smoked Mozzarella Buns are a little nuggets of cheesy, bready goodness. Soft, tender yeast dough pillows are stuffed with chunks of smoked-mozzarella cheese, brushed with garlic butter, then dusted with Parmesan. When cheese loves bread very much, it’s a beautiful thing…Added The King Trumpet Mushroom this week they are a part of the Oyster Mushroom family. In fact, it’s the largest member of the family! They have a long shelf life and will happily hang out in a paper bag inside the refrigerator for a week, sometimes longer.
Short Mountain Cultures: Offering a range of Hatcher Dairy Milk on SRM!! Includes cream top whole milk, chocolate milk, half and half and heavy cream. Support local milk! It is some of the BEST milk around!… Also be sure to check out our Tempeh (pronounced TEM-pay)it is a cultured, fermented plant based protein native to Indonesia. Delicious, versatile and quick to prepare tempeh readily accepts your favorite sauces, marinades and dry rub seasonings.
Nom Noms Dog Treats: Samples Available this week during order pickup on ‘The Porch’ My name is Sandy, I’ve done dog rescue since I was a kid. I started the dog treat business 6 years ago when all those treats were killing dogs and making others sick. I wanted to provide something safe and tasty to my rescue. Once I saw how much others liked my doggie treats I went into business. I do this to not only make a living but to provide free spay/neuters to cut down on all the dogs who end up in shelters or worse. I love being able to provide healthy, safe, yummy treats while helping the pet overpopulation problem. I make them gluten/wheat free so almost all dogs can eat them. 4 ingredients in each, pure and simple ingredients.
Caney Fork Farms: Our Winter Season schedule with the Market is monthly, next times will be March 25th, returning weekly in April 2020.
