IMPORTANT!
Hello valued customers!
We need to remind folks that if you order, you MUST pick it up on Wednesday or make immediate arrangements to get your things as soon as possible.
Our farm is not equipped to handle excess produce and cannot guarantee the quality of items not picked up. Our farmers responsibility ends when they drop your items off. Ashleigh and I are volunteers of the market and have a farm and family to also attend to. WE LOVE the market, but want it to flourish and not suffer due to the market having to pay farmers for items ordered and not picked up.
Everyone completely understands the occasional forget and there is always a measure of grace that is extended to managers, customers and farmers. We are all human.
However, if you order and don’t pick up, be advised that you will be charged for your purchase via a square invoice emailed to you. You must pay that even if you never pick up your items.
Thank you for your continued support and for respecting our wonderful market and it’s producers.
Sincerely,
Tracey Burks
Ashleigh Newnes

Happy Independence Day!

Freedom is a wonderful thing and a true blessing but with much responsibility to our communities and neighbors and local producers/makers and business people! Freedom’s pricetag is a good burden to have: caring for each other and the bigger picture!
As always, thank you for choosing Stones River Market. This is truly a community market and we love what we do for you!
Plenty of summer veg from Flying S Farm and White City Produce
Have you tried Seeds of Success seasonings on roasted corn? You may find yourself slightly addicted!!
Don’t forget the dogs in your life! Nom Noms is dedicated to providing quality, researched nutrition treats for your loved ones. Your dogs will beg for them!
The weather may be hot, but a second planting of herbs, flowers and veggies (or even a first planting for some) can still happen!
Rainbow Hill Dogwood Valley Greenhouse Sweetpea and White City Produce may still have what you are looking for!
Erdmann Farms has absolutely GORGEOUS cut flowers!!

It’s So dang hot!! We know it happens annually in Tennessee but it’s always near debilitating when it hits!!
Don’t let that ruin some wonderful Independence Day celebrations. Be sure to stock up on the cut flowers, beautiful red, white and lavender Gladiolas would make such a stunning display! Erdmann Farms is working through this heat to bring some absolutely breathtaking flowers to the market!
Lavender bundles will be available for $10 each for ordering and at pickup. Our friends Charlotte and Mark have a beautiful lavender farm in College Grove and the harvest this year is spectacular. This variety, Grosso, is incredibly fragrant and it dries so well. The culinary uses are many and it tastes as wonderfully as it smells! Don’t miss out on these.
Benjamin’s Fresh Organic Sprouts continue to be a pickup favorite and Benjamin thanks you all for your support of his venture. He will continue with alfalfa and add some new mixes soon! 2+ ounces for $2 is a great deal!
Sweetpea Bamboo is still available and if you saw it at market pickup last week will know it is good stuff! They have also added SORREL!! Tart, lemony greens for your salads, smoothies and so much more!
STOCK UP and be prepared for your holiday weekend early and local with meats, eggs, produce, vegan seasonings and prepared goodies!
Show your love for Stones River Market with our NEW, REUSABLE market bags! L & L Contractors does it again, sponsoring these awesome bags with our logo on one side and theirs on the other! They are a wonderfully roomy bag! Every order $100 and up will receive a free bag! You may purchase these for $3 each as a fundraiser to purchase more bags and market TEE SHIRTS! These will be listed on the website and available for purchase at pickup as well! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Choosing to vote with your dollars at Stones River Market is so incredibly important to us. We know you could go anywhere so the choice to purchase locally, through this market, is very honoring and we thank you so much!

Market News
Good morning everyone!
We hope you enjoyed your weekend and are gearing up for a wonderful week ahead, including getting some of your grocery shopping done with Stones River Market!
Rocky Glade Farm and Seeds of Success will both be off this week and we wish them both well and look forward to their returning!
Linda with Dogwood Valley set up at pickup for the last two weeks displaying and selling her beautiful potted plants. Now that you have had a chance to see them in person, I’m sure there are some plants calling your name (I hear mine!)
BAMBOO!! You asked, Sweetpea delivers! We can custom cut and deliver stakes and poles from 1/2" – 2" diameter and up to 8’ long. Inquiries are welcome about longer lengths or smaller “orchid”-type stakes for house plants. 24" stakes are approximately 1/2" diameter.
Thanks Ken!
Nuance Coffee and Tea has added four new teas, to our offerings, this week.
The new teas are: Organic Egyptian Nile Delta Chamomile, Sasebo Breeze green tea, Tokyo Cherry Blossom green tea, and organic, fair trade, Hibiscus.
Sweet tea drinkers will also love these, regularly stocked, black teas that make the best iced teas you’ll ever taste: Assam Borengajuli Estate (India), Keemun Panda (China), Kambaa or Tinderet Estates (Kenya) and our Blueberry flavored black.
Enjoy!

Non Noms Dog Treats does it again with these delicious sounding treats.Many dogs love apples which is great because apples can be a super, healthy treat. Apples contain calcium, vitamin K, vitamin C, and pectin (soluble fibre). Carrots are low calorie and high in fiber and beta carotene/vitamin A. Flax seed is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids that are good for skin and coat. Gluten/Wheat free all-purpose flour, apples, carrots, water, & ground flax seed.
Comes in 6 ounce regular and training sizes.
How about something sweet? Flying S and Hope for Health have you covered!
Double Star Bar Farms bagels and breads are incredible! We have made sandwiches on the bagels for lunch.. what a treat!
See you all Wednesday,

We have lots of plants still available for your spring plantings! Sweetpea, Rainbow Hill and White City Produce have been steady adding items from 4-packs of plants to singles. No matter the size of your garden or “yarden”, growing food for yourself and our valued pollinators is such an earth win!

Welcome to a new order week and the warmer weather.
We appreciate you all so much and want to hold another giveaway! Just ask Ashleigh, Tracey LOVES to give things away!
Ok, here is how it will work this time, once again very simple. For every person who orders this week, they are entered. We will use a random number generator to draw the winner.
Then we will choose a vendor (via the same method) and the customer winner will receive a $15 certificate to use with that vendor only (paid by the market). This makes it exciting for both the customer AND the vendors:). Good luck and we hope enjoy these fun things!
This week brings us a note from Farrar Farms/Lynchburg Beef. They are back on the market with ground beef and Chorizo
More to come next week along with NEW ITEMS!! Be on the lookout for those!

Apologies for the announcement of berries last week and then had to pull them back out. Rocky Glade Farm WILL have some this week and they are sure to sell quickly! Here’s a list of what they are listing this week:
24 quarts and 3 gallons berries
Swiss chard
Gai-lan (chinese broccoli)
Broc raab
Kohlrabi
Parsley
Spinach
Hakurei turnips
Happy rich
Garlic scapes—NEW
Collards
Kale
Seeds of Success adds Cocoa Doodle-Doo (Sun Granola), a crunchy sunflower seed “granola”. Sunflower seeds, oats, and almonds are sweetened with a cocoa agave mixture. This granola has the appeal of cocoa krispies (without the refined sugar). Sunflower seeds provide protein, minerals, and vitamins. Enjoy this granola on its own, or add it to: cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit (sliced bananas).
Chef Jenny brought some in for us to taste last week and it is DELICIOUS and chocolaty. Try some with West Wind Farms yogurt or kefir or simply pop some in the mouth for a quick snack on the go!
Double Star Bar Farms has added an incredible Pesto that is wonderful with any of his breads… even the bagels! This is a summer must-have for quick meals or additions to more formal cooking.
SweetPea, White City Produce, and Rainbow Hill have new plant additions for your summer garden and perennial herb beds.
See you all Wednesday,
