Market News

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!

Do you follow the market on Facebook? Make sure to follow and like posts so they show up in your feed because we are planning a welcome Spring GIVEAWAY!! (This is one of Tracey’s favorite parts of working markets and events!!)Don’t worry, if you aren’t on Facebook, you can still enter the giveaway:).

We love this market and want it to continue to grow for the farmers and the customers. If you would like some flyers, for events etc, let us know and we will get those to you!

Again, we thank you for the support of this market and the growers/makers who rely on you for their livelihood. What an incredible community this market truly is!

What a wonderful first week at L & L Contractors last week! Beautiful place and incredibly supportive folks. It is an honor to be able to have market pickup at their office! Thank you to Donald Lester and group for providing this opportunity!

Product News:
Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse says:

The daffodils are here! We have already enjoyed a couple of early bouquets, and there are plenty more in the garden to share with you. But with temperatures forecast to run in the 60’s this coming week, they may not last too much longer. Get your little piece of springtime, your ray of golden sunshine, while they are here.

Blessings,
Linda Reed

Linda at Dogwood Valley has added some beautiful potted primrose:

Because they are susceptible to summer drought, plants should be well-watered if rainfall is scarce. Do not lightly sprinkle with water every day. To ensure deep root growth, give a thorough watering once a week. In Tennessee, primroses are best grown in part shade; an eastern exposure with early morning sun or dappled shade is ideal. Since primroses prefer a mild winter, a sheltered planting area is recommended to moderate the cycle of alternate freezing and thawing which may kill primroses. They combine particularly well with spring bulbs and other early flowering perennials such as lungwort, rockcress and leopard’s-bane. Interplant primroses with annuals to provide summer color.

Botanical Harmony Farm has wonderful foaming goat milk hand soap in a variety of natural scents. The soap contains skin loving oils such as castor, sunflower and hemp to nurture and help repair skin cells while cleansing grime easily.

They also have skin polishing organic sugar scrubs to nurture winter skin in many natural scents!

Nom Noms Dog Treats has some wonderful hand crafted, natural treats for your beloved pets. No hidden additives, just delicious and with the health of the dog in mind, the treats are sure to be a hit!

ALSO Stones River Market has gift certificates listed! What an incredible gift to share with someone…. as a housewarming, a new friend, Mother or

Sean with Nuance Coffee & Tea adds:

Nuance Coffee & Tea has added 5 new Matcha style teas, to our offerings, this week. These tea, and herbal leaves, have been ground into a super-fine powder so that you can drink the entire leaf for maximum strength antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral absorption into your body. Simply dissolve into hot water or blend into milk, juices, Smoothies, or any other favorite beverage. Blending with a Magic Bullet blender works great for this style of tea. Our Matcha products contains NO fillers, or sugar, which add unnecessary, artificial, weight to the package. They are just pure leaves and nothing else.

They are:
1. Elephant Kenya Ivory White Matcha – (FT), (ETP)
2. Kenya Green Flamingo Matcha – (FT) (Org.)
3. Kenyan Black Matcha – (FT), (ETP)
4. Malawi Banda Green Matcha – (FT)
5. Yerba Mate – Ground Matcha Style – (Org.)
Thank you and, as always, “Enjoy”!

Alfresco Pasta has added Spinach Fettuccine in 1 or 2 pounds!This would be incredible with their pesto, a bit of cream and seared greens. Maybe a hunk of warm bread from Flying S or Double Star Bar Farms

Rocky Glade Farm and Erdmann Farm continue to add vegetables to the market offerings! What a welcomed site that is!!

Good morning!

We have a new vendor on the market, Hope for Health joins us offering baked goods and candies. We asked her to tell us about her business practices. She wants everyone to know: I am all about packing in as much nutrition into everything I make (with the exception of my candy). I only use the best ingredients whenever possible, including organic, natural, etc., in all of my baked goods. I grind my own flours, use fresh farm eggs, fresh unprocessed honey, organic coconut oil, and organic spices. Even my candy, which I see as an occasional treat, only has pure cane sugar, real butter, etc. Thanks!

She has added many goodies along with customized Valentine treats for your loved ones and delicious pumpkin muffins (we have first-hand experience with them). Check those out!

Chef Jenny with Seeds of Success has added some gorgeous GLUTEN FREE Heart Healthy Brownies. Instead of flour, these brownies are made with heart healthy, protein rich black beans. The chocolatey richness comes from cocoa, dark chocolate chips, pure cane sugar, and farm fresh eggs. You won’t even know it’s missing flour. Consider it a guilt-free Valentine’s Day treat, for yourself, or a loved one.

Wedge Oak Farm has ground turkey, 1 lb chub of our pasture raised turkey ground with our Mangalitsa fat. They have also added artisan Tacchino. “Tacchino” is Italian for “Turkey”. Our Tacchino is a light and mild italian turkey sausage made in small batches.

Botanical Harmony Farm added all-natural, goat milk soaps in many plant-based scents.

Nuance Coffee & Tea lists new Matcha tea blends.

Our vendors sometimes bring extras to sell during pickup. Last week Hope for Health and Double Star Bar Farm brought muffins and sourdough breads. These were a huge hit and we hope to have more this week. They will be at the table next to checkout.

ALSO Stones River Market has gift certificates listed! What an incredible gift to share with someone…. as a housewarming, a new friend, Valentine’s Day, Mother or fathers day or just to something wonderful to share with someone who doesn’t quite understand “buying and supporting local” or whole foods eating.

Frontier Family Farms continues to provide us with incredible tender greens.

Chef Jenny with Seeds of Success has added a Vegan, gluten free Corn Chowder with Quinoa in a 16 ounce container. She has also added a “Chick Patty” from, of course, chickpeas! Paired with nearly any of Double Star Bar Farms or Flying S savory bread options, this makes a wonderful meal for the rain and cooler night temps headed our way.

Read more of Chef Jenny’s success story here

Flying S has also added Oatmeal Cranberry cookies and Magic Bars! Check those out for a great snack or desert.

Lots of meat, eggs, milk and more are available for your weekly grocery needs! Your input and feedback is always welcome as this is OUR community market. Tell us what you want! Our farmers/makers rely on you for our livelihood so we want to hear what you are in need or search of! Thanks!

Thank you also to everyone for the lovely welcome and to John for the years of work he has put into this market to make it what it is today for you the customer and for the local growers/makers!
