Growers News:

Welcome New Grower:

The Natural Nook:
I am a mom to 5 amazing kids and never feel more satisfied than when I provide our family of 7 with natural, nourishing food and products that keep us all healthy and thriving. Now that we are enjoying the benefits of this lifestyle, I wanted to share some of the products I make for our family in my kitchen with our community as well. I would like to start by offering homemade elderberry syrup as an effective remedy against colds and viruses as well homemade bone broth packed with collagen that can be used as broth in soups or just warmed to drink as is for health benefits.

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, Get ready for holiday cooking with my new casserole cozies. Square cozy fits a standard square 8×8 pan, larger cozy fits a 9 × 13 casserole dish. These are not microwaveable as they are lined with insul-brite, a metallic backed batting which helps to insulate your food. Can be customized for holidays or certain color schemes upon request. 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. They 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.

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

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. If anyone is looking for a particular freeze dried candy please by all means send me an email and I’ll do my best to have them available for next week.

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.*

Yentz Family Farm: Several varieties of fresh cut herbs available this week. We have several items to select from but this week we would like to highlight our delicious Hand Pies, choose from our newly added Pumpkin hand pies and Pumpkin Bread. Other hand pies are Peach, Blueberry or Apple! Order single or a combo. Delicious with morning coffee or just a snack during the day. Also added Chocolate Chip Cookies and brownies. We have several delicious vegetables this week available, Blue Lake Beans, Jalapeno, Serrano and Anaheim Green Chili hot peppers to spice things up.

Flying S Farms: Our fall/winter produce are coming in Radishes, Delicata, Carnival, Red Kuri and Fall Greens. Baked items are back on the Market with a few ‘oldies but goodies’ brownies and lemon bars and Coconut Friendship Bread. Sour Dough bread and rolls Plain or Wheat. Breads are available sliced or unsliced. Jams will be added as we get them made this week, newest is our Concord Low Sugar Jelly from our vines on our farm! Seriously HOT Strawberry is back in stock! Watch for more jam to be add over the next few weeks.
