Aug 15-16 Market is OPEN -- See you Wednesday!
Welcome to the August 15-16 Stones River Locally Grown Online Farmers Market!
Please copy and share our web address with at least three of your health-conscious friends before the end of the day, via text, email, or social media. https://stonesriver.locallygrown.net The more healthy members we have, the more variety of produce and product we can provide!
The Market opens at 8:00 am on Sunday morning and closes at 10:00 pm Monday evening. Order early before we run out of that one item you “must have!” You can always come back to order more (and some growers may identify added produce while the market is open).
We look forward to seeing you on the Porch this Wednesday from 5-6:30pm, with deliveries following. Know that our growers have the hour prior to get their products organized so things might be a bit hectic (and crowded) if you come early.
Please comment to the Manager when you checkout if you require curb service, and include your anticipated time of arrival so we can have your order ready and watch for your arrival.
Delivery Service is available for $10 within a 10 mile radius of Murfreesboro, outside areas additional $1.00 per mile is added. Delivery is also available to Woodbury at a host location. If this is the first time you’ve requested delivery please put your address in comments before you check out. Methods of Payment are Cash, Checks or Credit/Debit Cards or we can email an Invoice including a $1.00 Invoice fee. We are working on getting a Venmo account operational. Let us know if that would be something you would use. For Delivering Invoicing please make sure your account information is current.
News from Our Growers:
Carole Herbs/CS3 Farms: We have lots of pumpkins/winter and summer squash and some herbal and regular tea, all of which is delicious cold or on ice for a hot summer day. The winter squash will keep for a couple months if not too warm, so stock up now for fall! We also have a little bit of ginger fig shrub available. Check our our FB site /CS3Farms for our recently launched culinary herb lessons. You can learn about herbs to cook with that are also medicinal and test your knowledge!
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: We have several nice varieties of African violets, returning to the market after a few months’ rest. In the coming weeks I will be adding a few additional older varieties. I’m also abundantly blessed with herbs to cut this season. Consider picking up some freshcut herbs loaded with flavor to dehydrate or freeze for winter use. If you’d prefer growing your own, I still have a good selection of herb plants available as well.
Mama D’s Bakery: We have a Sourdough Sandwich Loaf, Oatmeal Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberry Swirl Bread, Raspberry Swirl Bread, and Apple Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread(with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts(cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies(chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!!
RnR Farms: New this week are our Crimson Sweet watermelons and surprise melons. We call them surprise melons because we grew these from saved seed, and so we have no idea what each melon will be. They are a honeydew/cantaloupe cross, and they have both orange and green flesh and are absolutely amazing. You may get a pure cantaloupe, or may get a pure honeydew. But chances are you will get some type of cross. Order multiple and we will make sure you get as many different melons as possible.
Short Mountain Cultures: We have many delicious and usable items to select from its hard to just select a few to highlight. Our Bulk Dry Products are plentiful, Fermented and Culture Products are always delicious and beneficial. We feature Hatcher Dairy Milks and various other products for body and health.
Flying S Farms: We have some delicious eggs. We will have more soon!
