Growers News:
Welcome Hollow Springs Farm:
We are new to the area and excited to be part of Stones River Market. We will have our locally raised chicks and eggs. Raw honey, handmade craft items, quilts, various flavors of jams and jellies. Woodworking craft items in the future. Summer time fresh vegetables. This week we are starting with Apple Pear & Blackberry Jam, Grape Jam and Sour Cherry Jam.
Yentz Family Farm: We are back this week with our ‘goodies’, Country Breads, Hand pies, Banana Bread and Various Snack Bags.
Safe & Sound Soap Co. This weeks featured items: Non toxic Car Air Fresheners! These are made with high quality, safe fragrance oils that are vegan and phthalate and paraben free. They smell amazing and last over 2 weeks in your vehicle. They also make excellent gifts! I have these following scents available:
Sea Salt & Sand
Pink Leather
Laundry Day
Cashmere Date
Vanilla Macaron
Watermelon Sugar
Don’t forget to check out my All Natural Laundry Soaps, as well as my amazing sugar scrubs and moisturizing hand sanitizing sprays.
Oakview Farm: will have our delicious Salad Greens Mix on the exchange again this week, with a fresh mix of lettuces, kale, small beet greens, arugula, and small mustard greens! We also have our cabbage heads, and large mustard greens, which are great for stir fries. We follow organic practices- no pesticides or chemical fertilizers on our produce!
Calico Farm: If you haven’t tried our delicious maple sea salt cookies…why not? They are organic, dairy-free & perfectly sweet with a hint of Himalayan sea salt to balance it out. Enjoy these super – soft cookies with your coffee, tea or as a dessert anytime. Sold in 6-packs.
Get all your baking essentials on hand before Easter is upon us. We have the best-tasting vanilla extract you’ll find – homemade with organic Madagascar vanilla beans & aged a minimum of 2 months (this batch was actually over 3 months, & the longer it ages, the better it tastes). Also, be sure to pick up our organic vanilla sugar – raw cane sugar that is processed with the paste of the vanilla beans then infuses with the spent pods for weeks. It truly up-levels anything you put it in; coffee, tea, baked goods etc. Both items also make unique gifts for the foodie/baker in your life.
M&S Farms: We still several great cuts of beef available at a very reasonable price.
Kumaika Coffee: We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler.
Backyard Tailz: Treat your birds arriving from their winter break with my new Cardinal, Chickadee, Woodpecker snacks. Variety of mixes. Still have a few hanging wreaths availabe.
Tailwynds Farm:

Pink’s Micros:
This is our WINTER microgren blend! Every season we create new blends to represent the time of year. OUR WINTER blend has ’YELLOW BEETS, RED PAC CHOI, IGLOO CAULIFLOWER and CURLY WATERCRESS.
What better way to start the New Year than with highly nutritional greens called Mirogreens? They pack 40 to 100% more vital nutrients than the adult verion. We grow organically with NON-GMO seeds and nutrient-dense soil. We look forward to providing the best for you in 2024.
RC Farms: We have several items restocked and frozen produce, and
delicious desserts, we’ve been working and preparing our tunnels for spring produce. Spring will be here before you know it!
Triple LLL Farm: We have our specials posted. We also have added Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks still on sale. We also have added more eggs available
Quarter Spring Farm: We have all of the healthy and delicious pasture raised poultry that your family craves. We are also fully stocked with equally healthy and tasty grass-fed lamb, and we have plenty of free range chicken eggs available this week on the market. As always, we have plenty of skin softening goat milk soaps, shampoo bars, and lotions. Try some today to feel the difference for yourself.
Nash Philly: Nashville Hot Chicken Parmesan? My creative twist on two great dishes. It’s everything you would expect from a chicken parm dish. Tender pan fried chicken cutlets, pounded out, and seasoned with garlic, onion, cayenne, paprika, white pepper and freshly crackled black pepper. Breaded and pan fried to golden brown and delicious. And covered with homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Served with spaghetti noodles. For those of you not keen to spicy things we are also doing a regular chicken Parmesan as well.
Beef Wellington a true American classic. Seared 6 oz sirloin steaks that are wrapped in prosciutto exclusively being sold from the Hammery here in Murfreesboro. And a sautéed mushroom and onions mixture ( mushroom duxelle) wrapped in puff pastry. As you bake this dish watch it come to life with its flakey buttery crust. Surely to wow yourself, significant other or guests.
Collard greens done differently but well. Try these creamed collard greens. It’s like a hardy spinach and artichoke dip but without the need of having chips, but a good piece of bread goes very well with this side.
Flying S Farms: We have a few new Happy Chickens added to our flock, don’t be surprised is you see a different colored egg in your carton! The ladies are very happy with the weather getting warmer, we are overrun with eggs! So we have a really good Eggcellent this week, single dozen or 3 dozen Fresh Farm Eggs Special. Also our have our delicious Sour Dough Breads, along with delicious Brownies, Biscuits, Friendship Breads (please order Friendship Breads by 3pm on Monday) still have few Jams available, we will Jamming soon updating our inventory.
We will be looking forward seeing you “On the Porch or At the Curb" of Quinn’s Mercantile WEDNESDAY, March 6th from 4:30 – 5:30 pm, please note time change, please contact the Manager if you are unable to pick up your order or are running late, please phone, email or text the Manager (615.542.1078) so we can make arrangements to get your order to you.
