Few GROWERS NEW:
McIntosh Field & Flower: We’ll be popping up this week at Market Pick-Up! On Wednesday June 14th you’ll find us on the porch at Quinn’s – be sure to order your flowers in advance for first pick or come in person to choose your own on Weds!
We farm all of our flowers right here in Murfreesboro and keeping them as local as possible is our goal. This week you’ll find farm fresh cut flower bunches, gorgeous edible flowers, and loads of colorful floral confetti. We’ve also added a straight bunch of our thick stemmed, sturdy snapdragons. The growing season is in full swing – don’t miss out on this early summer bounty!
East Fork Farm: Luffa
What is a luffa? Think of a “scrubby” used in the shower. Maybe you think of a “sponge”. Luffa is a vegetable and a member of the squash family. When small (about 6") it can be eaten like okra. But at East Fork Farm, we allow them to remain on the vine and grow all summer long until right before the first frost. At that point, they are pulled, dried out, shucked of their outer hard flesh and stripped. This provides long cylindrical shaped sponge to use in many ways. We love our luffa. It has SO many uses. From cleaning your pots, pans and dishes, scrubbing showers, floors, to even a safe chew toy for dogs.
Shroomegy Gourmet Mushrooms:
We are proud to provide truly local and fresh mushrooms from our farm right here in Murfreesboro. Our grow room is overflowing with delicious fresh mushrooms! We also have Lion’s Mane powders and tinctures. Preliminary studies show Lion’s Mane mushrooms help with memory and brain function. I put a dropper full of tincture or a teaspoon of powder in my coffee each morning to help with concentration and focus. THIS WEEK ONLY – get a Lion’s Mane powder sample with any order.
Yentz Family Farm: We are a small family owned farmed based in Shelbyville, TN. Our mission is to provide fresh local produce and goods to serve our local communities while improving our footprint on the earth. Having been raised on a dairy farm in New England, I have longed to return to the farming community, and this second career has provided me with the opportunity to continue that dream while serving others.
