Weblog from some of our Grower’s:

East Fork Farm:
Calling all gardeners and plant lovers!!! Are you preparing your seeds for growing season?

Amend your soil now with worm castings from East Fork Farm. Worm castings are a gentle, effective, natural fertilizer that provide essential nutrients to plants. Grow significantly larger, stronger, and produce more abundant and better-quality flowers, fruit, and vegetables.100% safe around children and pets.

Bean Man: We trust you are getting through the colder weather well. If you saw our Facebook and Instagram posts this week, you’ll see where Bean Girl put a twist to her normal recipe for white beans – bay leaves – along with the ham, excellent as always. We have our Fresh Dry Beans, Chili Mix, 4 Bean Soup Mix available as well as our Gluten Free Flours including 4 different Pizza Crust Mixes, Pancake Mix, Refried Bean Mix and Black Bean Dip Mix all of which are easy, delicious, Gluten Free (some are Vegan) and perfect for the season.

We are finishing up on our upcoming Gluten Free Sourdough Bread Mixes as well as 2 Soup Mixes to add to your choices in the coming weeks. For this week, please notice we’ve added an option to purchase our 4 Bean Soup Mix at a lower price – you will just need to turn in the jar at the market during pickup on Wednesday so take advantage and continue to enjoy a really delicious soup. It will be titled “4 Bean Soup Mix – Jar Exchange”. Thank you again for your support of our Stones River Market!

Oakview Farm:
We are gearing up for Spring with lots of greens!! We have radishes, spinach, salad mix (with kale, lettuce and young mustard greens), and spring onions. Since it’s been so cold, we have also been baking and will have fresh sourdough focaccia bread with garlic, rosemary and olive oil drizzled on top! We also have a variety of jams available: apple butter, rum raisin apple preserves, green tomato marmalade and more!

Barefoot Acres Herbs: We are keeping busy, even in the winter. That’s the beauty of storing those dried herbs immediately after harvest. Our CBD with Anti-Inflammatory Herbs Salve is super fresh, along with the Healing and Respiratory Salves. Check out our other products. Glycerides have a shelf life of up to two years, while tinctures have been known to last 10 years under proper storage conditions. There are lots of yucky things going around right now; help support your body with Vitamin C Tincture and Elderberry Syrup.

Quarter Spring Farm:
Cold weather is hard on your skin. Protect your body’s largest organ with goat milk soap or lotion from quarter spring farm. We also have lots of delicious chicken to warm your belly on these cold winter days.

Body & Soul Teas:
I made a batch of Shoo-Flu this weekend. This blend combines, elderberry, hibiscus and red raspberry leaf, ginger and mints.

Whenever I am sick, I like to prepare several servings at a time and pour it into a thermal bottle so that the tea stays hot and I can sip it throughout the day. I also like to enjoy broths or soups; my favorite is Tom Yum soup (spice level 2 with extra ginger)

Pat’s Sore Throat Tea
Juice of half a lemon
1-2 dried sage leaves(can also use fresh, but maybe use just 1 leaf)
Fresh ginger, about 2t, chopped
8-12 oz water
Honey
Cayenne pepper(optional)
Add the water to a pot along with the above ingredients. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer 15-20 minutes. Strain and add honey to sweeten.

This is made to taste, so adapt ingredient accordingly. If I am using organic lemon, I will add chop up the lemon and add it to the mixture as well. I like ginger, so I add a little bit more than 2t. I add cayenne for it’s numbing effect. Just a dash will do ya! I like honey as a sweetener, not just because it taste good but because it has its own healing properties. Its soothing to the mucous membrane of the throat and fights germs. Did you know it was used in WW1 for wounds? And, when it comes to honey, local is best, so be sure to check out the Singing Bee honey available here on the market.

Everybody is different so if you are a person that is more warm/ natured, I would omit the sage, ginger and cayenne and add peppermint to the lemon and honey.

I also have herbal steams available. These are great for nasal congestion and coughs. Steep herbs in a Mason jar or pot or add them directly to hot water and drape your head with a towel to inhale the steam for 5-10 minutes.

May you be blessed body & soul! Pat Greene

Ewe and Me Creamery:
We have launched some new products from their store. Usually focused on sheep milk and dairy products, they now have sheep milk soap. They currently have their Valentine’s Day Sheep Milk Soaps available. Great for Valentine’s Day too! Scents like Dusty Rose, Kentucky Bourbon, and Sensuous Sandalwood. They also provide unscented soaps for those with sensitive skin. The soaps that are dotted have coffee grounds that make it very exfoliating. We will be milking in April. Hoping to have on the market for sheep milk around then.

Flying S Farms: Fresh Farm Eggs, Music Garlic, Jams and Jellies, and our popular 10" Cast Iron Skillet Yellow Cornbread. Stay tuned, more Jams and Baked items ‘COMING SOON’

Quinn’s Mercantile:
We are always receiving new items each week, we have several great Spring clothing items and Valentine items for you or that special loved one in your life. Many of our local products proudly represent Murfreesboro and Tennessee.

Bluhen Farm:
We will be in taking a brief break for this month of February. We hope to be back early March. The cold weather and lack of sun have hit us hard this winter.

Five White Oak: I was hoping to back on the Market with my items but unfortunately still requiring more rest and healing time. A quote from her Dad…this is just for now not forever!
