News from The Manager: Can you believe it will be June 1st…tomorrow! Several local area Farmers Market are open or planning to open soon. Several of those market have restriction before entering their market area. Our On-line Farmers Market only restriction is you have 2 days to place your order at your leisure from home or work.
Several of our Growers have been struggling over the past month getting their crops in due to the unbelievable amount of rain we’ve all had. Some items might be a littler later than others coming in but I’m expecting some wonderfully delicious items coming soon.
Thank you for supporting our On-Line local growers and artisans.
News from Our Growers:
Farrar Farm LLC: taking a short break this week, will return next week with more delicious cuts of our Pasture Raised Beef.
Trinity Rose Oberhasli Dairy Goats:
Milk, Cheese; Garlic Dill, Spicy Italian, Kefir available this week, our Goat Ladies are back in business, more selections coming soon.
Sow’s Ear Piggery: has posted some additional pork products this week, including two Boston Butts (a summer time BBQ favorite), two tenderloins (a prized cut), and 3-pound packages of chops (these are the last 3 packages of chops we will have until late June!).
In addition, we still have quantities of pork stew meat, pork cutlet, shoulder steaks, ground pork, and fresh ham steaks (these are simply thin cuts from back leg of the pig. Brown in a skillet, cover with some liquid and seasoning. Simple!).
As always, our pork is Non-GMO fed, no antibiotics or any other additives.
SPECIAL NOTE: We have two large pork bellies (for cooking as is or making bacon). If anyone is interested, please shoot me an email. With notice, I can cut into slabs of 2 or 3 pounds if anyone is interested. I will inform you when the listing will post in the future.
Rainbow Hill Farm: It is never to late to get your garden or containers growing from the selections of our seedlings. They are delivered in Peat Pots, just drop them in the ground and the soil is worm castings which gives them a great boost during the growing season.
Quarter Spring Farm: has a full selection of chicken cuts and products, including gorgeous multi-colored eggs, available on the market this week. Check back soon for updated soap scents and new patterns of reusable napkins.
RnR Farms: For this week we continue to have an abundance of the best naturally grown lettuces and greens in Middle Tennessee. Green leaf, red leaf, romaine of all colors, kale blend, and butterhead. And this week is a great week to be a lettuce connoisseur at Stones River Market. Because RnR Farms is having lettuce week!

I have lots of beautiful herbs, available both as plants and as ‘Fresh-cuts’. But if you need one I haven’t listed, let me know and I’ll try to find it.
The letter of the week is ‘S’: sedum, shasta daisy, and Stokesia aster! All will make the more sunny areas of your garden shine! I still have a good selection of perennials for shady areas too.
