Alfresco Pasta and Seeds of Success are both on vacation this week and will return next week!

Double Star Bar Farms is hosting a wonderful, family Spring Festival. Here is the flyer info. Contact Maura White, whitem4@hotmail.com, with any additional comments or questions:

April 30th is our SPRING FESTIVAL here at Double Star Bar Farms! Come visit the farm! Bring the family, listen to a couple of lectures, learn a couple things, hike, eat, listen to live music, and take a deep breath of fresh country air!! You can even bring your own camping gear and camp overnight!

Lectures include learning to inoculate logs to grow your own mushrooms, how to make your own mozzarella cheese, learn about herbs, and a fun lecture from the funny and expert egg lady!!

See what is growing. Ask questions about getting started farming. Tour the greenhouse. Walk among the beautiful peach trees. See how asparagus grows.

Even though International Homesteading Education Month, sponsored by Mother Earth News Magazine and Grit Magazine, is usually held in September, we decided to hold ours in the spring this year so that people could see what’s growing and what to be on the lookout for as we transition into summer.

Come out and visit and see what is growing!!

SweetPea has added a few more plant starts to the growing list.

Dogwood Valley has added a blackberry jam: “This jam is made from blackberries gathered on my own farm. It has been strained a bit, but still has most of the seeds for texture. Chemical-free, but not certified organic because of prohibitive charges associated with this certification. Ingredients are sugar, blackberries, and Sure-Jell.”

White City Produce has tomatoes! Frontier Family Farms continues to provide us with wonderful broccoli.

There are many listings to choose from for eggs, meat, milk, skin care, animal food and treats along with spring plantings.

Now the fun stuff! GIVEAWAY For each person ordering this week, you will be entered into a drawing for a $10 Stones River Market Gift Certificate for yourself AND one to give to someone else who is not a current customer!
Good luck!

Have a beautiful day market family and we will see you Wednesday!

Good morning everyone!

This week is chock-full of delicious offerings!
Apologies for opening the market a few minutes late. We had an overdue goat to give birth last night! Exciting times :D

Rod at Double Star Bar Farms will have Purple Mustard Greens that have a horseradish taste on the finish for those who like horseradish, you will love these!! These are sold in 2 ounce packages! Sounds delicious for salads, sautees and even in a pesto!
He has also added a mixed bag of German Giant, Cherriette, Chery Belle, or Purple Plum radishes! These will come with the greens which can also add wonderful flavor and nutrition to salads. The greens can also be added to soups, pestos, roasted along with the radishes for a different treat! Try something new this week and share with us!

Ridiculous Chocolate is BACK from vacation this week and back on the market! Welcome home!

Chef Jenny from Seeds of Success will be at the market with samples of all her delicious seasonings and the new Sunbutter Bites!

“These bites combine sunbutter with oats, honey, cocoa, and a hint of sea salt to create a nutritious bite that provides energy, protein, fiber, vitamin E, zinc, and iron. They are perfect for sharing, breakfast on-the-go, or an afternoon snack. Since the SOS is based around the sunflower seed, sunbutter (sunflower seed butter) seemed like an appropriate choice for this bar. *Vegan *No Sugar *No Flour *No Nuts "

White City Produce & Greenhouse has added Rainbow Chard, Arugula, Siberian Kale and Butter Crunch lettuce PLANT STARTS for your own garden.

Don’t forget the Easter Herb Basket from Dogwood Valley, skincare from Botanical Harmony Farm, the incredible food itself and Gift Certificates make a wonderful Easter or welcome Spring gift!
