Few Growers News:
NashPhilly: Nonnas updated pasta salad, a great flavorful and light snack or side dish for perhaps a steak or a baked chicken breast. I am more than happy to accommodate with specific allergies to the dish? Just add it to the notes when ordering.
Umbria Potato Salad, unlike other pasta salads with bright vinegar flavors, and slight spiciness. Will make a great and healthy snack or meal by itself.
Quarter Spring Farm: we have refreshed our inventory on the Stone’s River market. We have updated pictures and added a new selection of lamb cuts, including sirloin chops and neck slices. We also have a very limited selection of free range Muscovy ducks available exclusively at this market. And as usual we have a plentiful plethora of pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. We also have our usual assortment of goat milk soaps, shampoos, and lotions. So sooth your skin with our suave selection of splendid scents.
Sundae’s Best Dog Treatery
Excited to announce our NEW ….Doggy donuts ….Box of 9 donuts made with the pumpkin/peanut butter recipe. 3 are plain, 3 are drizzled with icing, 3 iced with sprinkles. The sprinkles are unsweetened coconut flakes and natural food coloring.
Our other Dog Treats are Gluten free banana & peanut butter dog treats Pumpkin & peanut butter dog treats Dog Treats – Sweet potato & applesauce they come in 2 oz. or 6 oz. packages.
Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week.
Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender.
Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes.
Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.
Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. YOu can cut them up and fry or sautee them.
Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good.
Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.
We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!
Our new SUMMER Seasonal Chef’s Blend: CANTALOUPE, CUCUMBER, THAI BASIL, RED AMARANTH.
Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with what we grow all the time.
Peas Shoots, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic Salad Mix, and Sunflower Shoots.
RC Farms: Cantaloupe and Watermelon and vegetable (A to Z), various meats and prepared frozen meals and fruit. Our apology for some of the mix up of orders on the webpage, we are in the process of correcting those items.
