Busiest Month of the year…Graduations, Mother’s Day, School ending, various markets opening, it gets hectic!

Our Online Farmers Market is the easiest location to find gifts, produce, baked goods, plants, Herbs, soaps, meats and essentials, with the Spring and Summer Season starting few of our Growers attended the weekly markets during the summer months but still have their items available for those that don’t want to fight the growds or find a parking space. If you are looking for something special find their listing in the Growers Section and send them an email.

NOTE: Please if you are unable to pickup your order let us know, we can make arrangements to get it to you. If we are not notified your order is donated and you will be billed for it!

Growers News:

Welcome back:

McIntosh Field & Flower: We are so excited to be back in action at the Stones River Market! We farm all of our flowers right here in Murfreesboro and keeping them as local as possible is our goal! We’ve got farm fresh cut flower bunches, gorgeous bright blue edible flowers, and loads of colorful floral confetti in the market this week! The growing season is in full swing after all this great rain and sunshine! Don’t miss out!

East Fork Farm/Worm Castings: Had a bit of delay from the tornado damage at our farm area but it didn’t stop our worms from making beautiful Castings.

Organic worm castings sold in 3 lb and 10 lb bags. Bulk orders are available by contacting us. Can be used on anything that grows: household plants, gardens, lawn. 100% pet and child friendly.

Worm-tea-ni is a “brew” that can be made from worm castings. NOT INTENDED for human consumption.

Sap Creek Gardens: Do you need Herbs for your garden or porch, we have a large selection to choose from.

Rainbow Hill Farm: We are back with a large selection of starter plants for your home gardens. Tomato, Peppers, Cucumbers and more. Plants are in biodegratable cups, you only need to put them in the ground.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: we have a large selection of house plants, hanging plants, herb plants, several items for your home and garden.

Quarter Spring Farm: is very excited to be processing new birds for the spring. We have several cuts back in stock this week, and should have even more on the market next week. We also have our usual collection of skin softening goat’s milk soaps and lotions. They would make a great gift for Mother’s Day (hint, hint)

Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens and sprouts are extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals and vitamins, and chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are fresher. Put them on your sandwich, top your salads with them, or use them in place of lettuce.

“*Our new Spring Seasonal Chef’s Blend*:
•Leeks, Dill, Purple Radish, & Golden Pea Shoots.
Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with Peas, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic salad Mix, and Sunflower.

We are also offering our Freshly Juiced Frozen 2oz Wheatgrass Shots or Freshly Cut 4oz Wheatgrass.

Enjoy a dazzling array of new flavors. Plants are at their absolute peak of flavor intensity at this stage of life. They pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Come check us out!"

Shroomegy Gourmet Mushrooms: is growing some beautiful Rocky Top Blue Oysters this week! I replaced the button mushrooms in a Chicken Marsala with my blue oysters, and the flavor was fantastic. We also have some Lion’s Mane available. A great use for Lion’s Mane is to sauté it with butter and garlic. Toss with prepared spaghetti and parmesan cheese.

We are offering house dried, pesticide and chemical free Lion’s Mane powder! Lion’s Mane mushrooms contain bioactive substances that have beneficial effects on the body, especially the brain, heart, and gut. Research is being conducted into their possible effectiveness against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, neurological disorders, and even depression and anxiety. Add 2 teaspoons of powder to your coffee for a great nutrient boost!
