GROWERS NEWS:

Daniel Peppers and SpiceWELCOME NEW GROWER — Naturally grown chili peppers using only living soil and organic fertalizers. Peppers can be dried for later use, pickled or freeze for later use

Windy Bluff FarmWELCOME NEW GROWER
we are a small family operated dairy farm located on a bluff on 30 acres overlooking the Cumberland River in Trousdale County in Middle Tennessee.
We sell our 100% all natural artisan goat milk soap, other natural products & hand crafted goods. Our all natural farm products are made from 100% all natural, wild crafted and simple ingredients. Windy Bluff Farms all natural artisan goat milk soap is approved by a licensed esthetician.
In season we offer some of our ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats from heavy milking and showing lines for sale that we have not retained. Our goats are managed as naturally as possible and free range on untreated pasture, during the day, under careful watch of our two livestock guardian dogs. At Windy Bluff Farm all of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats are Dam raised and handled multiple times a day. Our goal is to breed and raise quality goats that exceed in health, conformation, milking abilities and friendliness; whether you are wanting to show, have a few backyard milkers, start a small herd or just have a few pet companion goats.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Apples and Peaches are available this week, always check back now during the change in weather, fruits will vary.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

They say about perennial plants:
“First year they sleep,
Second year they creep,
Third year they leap!”

Most of the plants you have purchased from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, particularly in early spring, have been early second year perennials. They are beginning to creep, meaning slow and steady growth, and flowering for their first season, after sleeping in the greenhouse last year and growing strong root systems. But I have a good stock of many of my perennials right now, and would like to offer these larger pants to you, after a second season of growth, for the same prices as the younger plants. Planted now and on into fall, they will put down strong root systems and be ready to leap into full growth and bloom for you next spring! Check through my perennial listings and see what you can use as fill-ins in bare places in your gardens.

I also have a good stock of full, healthy herb plants to add for culinary or medicinal use. I have one of the largest selections of herb plants in middle Tennessee. There is no need to travel to Nashville or Huntsville for those less common herb plants! And my plants are grown and nurtured right here in Coffee County, not in another state and shipped in to the big box store.

If you don’t have a place for herb plants, but you still want a stock of fresh herbs for culinary or medicinal use, please check out my Fresh Cut Herbs.

Periwinkle and Pine:

We are excited to showcase our new beautiful Lavender and Peony wreath, and our pretty summer Periwinkle Berry and Rose wreath. Every wreath in our shop is lovingly handmade.

Trinity Rose Micro Dairy:

We are happy to offer raw cows milk from our Jersey cow. “Zoe” is tested A2 / A2 protein which may be easier for people with milk allergies to digest. Our girls are on pasture full time and get a non-GMO & organic mix of grain while being milked. All milk sold as labeled for pet consumption only as per Tennessee State law.

Calico Farm:

Have you tried our homemade vanilla extract? It’s made with organic Madagascar vanilla beans & aged a minimum of 2 months (usually somewhere between 4-6 months) so you get deliciously rich vanilla flavor with everything you add it to. Sold in 4 oz bottles.

New this week, try our organic dye-free sprinkle cookies, available in 6-packs. These super-buttery soft cookies are dairy-free & are absolutely loved by kids & adults alike, without the yucky artificial food colors in regular sprinkles.

We also have 2 varieties of gluten-free cookies this week: chocolate crinkles & oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip. Both are also organic & dairy-free, because, well, you know how we roll!

NashPhilly:

So we will be on vacation this week but will be back the following weekend.
We also wanted to say thank you to all the customers that support us and also support this farmers market.

Arrington Bread Co:

We make our sourdough with simple, quality ingredients and our 88-year-old sourdough starter, which we named Josh Dough-ban because we raise him uuuuuup!

We offer flavors like jalapeño cheddar, Parmesan garlic, strawberry cheesecake, and of course our classic plain! Plus many more. We look forward to baking for you!

Safe and Sound Soap Co.

I’m so excited to share that I’ve added several new products over the past few weeks! First of all is my Foaming Hand Soaps. These are ultra moisturizing and have an amazing lather! They come in several different scents, as well as an unscented option. You can even purchase refill packs to refill the pump once the soap is completely used.

My other new product is my Room + Linen Sprays. I tweaked my original recipe and now these room sprays are better than ever and last longer! They also come in several new scents : Laundry Day, Sea Breeze, and Honeysuckle Breeze, as well as three essential oil scents, Orange Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon Eucalyptus.
I also added refill packs for my cleaning sprays.

However if you have an empty spray bottle at home you can purchase the pack and fill up your own bottle! The refill packs contain 8 ounces of my special cleaning formula. It is made with sugar cane alcohol and Castile soap, gentle on surfaces and hard on germs. This cleaning solution kills 99% of bacteria so it’s the perfect multi-purpose spray for your home!

Several of our Meat Producers are offering sales, be sure to check them out.

Flying S Farms:

Several great vegetables to offer this week and our Chickens have finally decided to go back to work, this past week atleast! Weather plays a big factor in how they lay their beautiful Brown Eggs. Eggs available by the Dozen or in a 3 carton offer. Sour Dough Bread this week plain or fresh ground wheat. Unfortunately no sweet breads, set back is due to Ben’s changing treatment schedules!
