Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away, be sure to get your Turkey deposit orders in and stock up on your favorite items.

News from our Growers:

Also we available 1" chops in 2#-packages of 2 chops with thin fat rind, 1-pound package ground pork sausage, great sliced into breakfast patties or fried up into crumbles for tacos, spaghetti, or stir-fry. Plus, 1-pound packages of lean cutlets for chicken-fried pork steaks. Still have ground pork and bratwursts for sale. All our pork is from heritage pigs on NonGMO diet.

Carole Herbs (CS3 Farm): We have more white egg turnips, chives, and both farmed and foraged salad greens and farmed and foraged cooking greens.

Our white egg turnips are (as the name implies) about the size of an egg. Turnips are known for high nutrient count and low calorie density. If you haven’t tried them cubed and soaked in an herbal vinegar and sautéed, or roasted with potatoes, kohlrabi, or beets in olive oil and drizzled with herbal honey, you are missing out!

Check out our chives for a nutritious and delicious onion flavor for omelettes, salads, or dinner meals. They add just the right kick!

Tired of a lettuce-only salad? Our Farmed and Foraged greens are a blend of hand-picked seasonal tame & wild hybrid salad complement or substitute. it’s awesome on sandwiches, and it is quite delicious topping a burger or other sandwich or cooking like spinach or kale. It’s highly nutritious and super fresh!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
It’s Christmas time in Tennessee! Well, not really, but it is time to put in your order for decorations from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. This year I will be selling at Wildwood Christmas Tree Farm in Woodbury, but I want to be sure all my local friends receive the items they want before I take any to the farm. So here is how this will work: prepay the total cost now, and reserve a delivery date. Note: it will be easier for me to fill your order on a later date. I promise I will not run out of wreaths and kissing balls, but it’s hard to make as many as are wanted early in the season. They should last about a month if outside, and will be just as beautiful after Christmas as before. Delivery will begin the first Wednesday of December and continue till all orders are filled. Also available this year: beautiful table basket centerpieces and herb plant baskets. Order and pay now, pick up and enjoy in December. Coming in a month or so: Christmas cacti.

Fungalicious:
As the holiday approaches we find ourselves wondering who would like to have gourmet mushrooms to
pare with their dishes for a wonderful thanksgiving meal. Here at Fungalicious it takes us four weeks
start to finish in order to produce these wonderful delicacies. We would love to make sure that any and
all who wish to have them can so we need to get an idea of what to plan for in the growing cycle. If you
could please send us an email letting us know what you would like and how much it would be greatly
appreciated. This will allow us to plan the harvest for that week.

Body and Soul Teas:
Herbal tea blends for sipping and soaking. My current product line includes herbal tea blends, bath teas, and herbal steams.

Flying S Farms: Cauliflower; Romanesco, Cheddar, Purple and White Holds color better if roasted or baked. Blanch and freeze for later use. Sweet breads, assorted brownie and lemon bars, pumpkin bread as well as cookies are back on the market. Limited time Rosemary Bread. As well as our Artisan Breads and Sour Dough Breads. Other produce include Radishes, Turnips, Daikon’s, Kale, Turnips Greens, Winter Squash: Spaghetti, Butternut and Carnival. As well as our Sour Dough Breads in loaves and rolls. We’ll be Jammin’ again this week so be sure to check back. Be sure to watch for our Christmas Jam (Cranberry + Strawberry) and Cowboy Candy (Candied Jalapenos) returning soon.
