Growers News:

Carol’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): newly added this week…..Lions Mane Double Extraction: This double extraction was made from a Lions mane found on our property. First extraction was in a gluten free vodka and the second extraction was in water from our rain harvested water. Researched and shown benefits on breath health according to Dr. Axe
Reishi Mushroom double extraction is great for the thyroid, immune system and anti cancer. Look up more at https://www.kindroot.com and read about it in the Feb 25, 2023 edition

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present pounds and pounds of perfectly pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. Our scintillating skin softening soaps are suavely secented and smell supberb. We also have lamb products.

Thweatt Things: Added a new item this week, the Walker Tote organizer fits over most walkers and makes a stable holder for newspapers, remotes, fiber arts and crafts, tissues, phones and water bottles. These lightweight totes are made of cotton and completely washable. These make great gifts for the elderly who rely on walkers for mobility. Or Mother’s with strollers to keep items handy. Also will work on shopping carts.

The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Lavendar Cottage: We are enjoying meeting the market customers as they pickup their Stones River Market orders on the Porch or visit Quinn’s Mercantile, we plan to be there few more times so you can see what we have and enjoy samples. We have added some increased sizes! Delicious snack to lunch bags and just a mid-day treat….This week we are bring some Freeze Dried Freeze dried fruits and veggies.

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….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.*
