Fresh Harvest, LLC:  Fresh Harvest for January 18th

Market News

Hello!

It’s been a beautiful few days – how wonderful to see the sun and feel some warmth! It is nice for the crops to have some higher temperatures for some good growing time. And it makes all the winter chores much more pleasant.

We have a nice selection of veggies for you this week. We do know that quantity is lower this time of year, so you may find an item you want “Sold Out”. Please let us know in the comments section of your order if you want an item that is sold out, and we will try to get it for you and add it to your bag!

Please support our other vendors that work so hard to provide you with top quality products! We have goat milk soap and lip balm from Little Seed Farm, baked goods from Dozen Bakery, a wonderful selection of cheeses from The Bloomy Rind Cheese shop, and of course our wonderful meat vendors, Wedge Oak farm and Bear Creek.
We also still carry Twin Forks Farm granola, although they are no longer baking bread.

Let’s hope the weather stays mild!

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee

Coming Events

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  Market Extended to 6:30 tonight- order milk now if you need some!

I’m extending the market until 6:30 today (Sunday) due to low milk orders. If you forgot to order you still have time!

I don’t usually extend the market hours but since orders are about half what they normally are for Mountain Fresh Creamery and Cedar Rock Dairy, I’m assuming some of you got busy and forgot.

You can order milk and anything else from the market until the extended deadline.

I will not take orders past 6:30 pm tonight so order now!

ORDERING:
The market is now open for ordering!

The Wednesday Market:  Time to Order

Good afternoon to everyone within The Wednesday Market community.

I don’t know about you, but I am happy, happy, happy to see the sun SHINING today! So are our kids, who just bolted out the back door to ride their bikes in this glorious daylight. We hope you also plan to partake of a moment or two in the sun – but place your order first, please.

The Market is open. Check out the website for all of this week’s offerings. Some of our farmers were hit pretty hard by the deep freeze from a couple of weeks ago, but with this nice weather, the veggies should be coming back soon. Anyway, here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Remember to place your order by 10 p.m. Monday, and orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. on Wednesday.

Have a great afternoon,and we’ll see you at The Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

Madison GA:  The Market is Open!!!!!!!

See everyone Wed.

Champaign, OH:  Every Picture Tells A Story, Don't It?

Every picture tells a story, don’t it?…
Every picture tells a story, don’t it?…
Every picture tells a story, don’t it?…
(Rod Stewart – Every Picture Tells A Story)

Today is Sunday, and like on most Sundays, your market manager spends the morning downing massive amounts of coffee, reading emails, organizing social media, getting caught up on paperwork, and planning for the week. I am also getting ready to open up a new shop, so I am busy with the planning, décor, concept. If I take care of all this on Sunday, I cannot tell you how calm it makes me when I wake up early, on Monday.

And, you all know me so well, by now, that you know I cannot do any task without a blaring soundtrack! This morning is old school Rod Stewart. I mean, who wasn’t rockin’ out to this whole album at some point in the ’70s?

Anyway, the title of this song just made me think of this little market of love. Yes, the title, not so much the whole premise of the song.

This market always seems to be telling a story, telling IT’S story, painting a picture of where we are going, how far we have come, how we hope to see the future.

Everything about this market tells a story… the vendors, the products, the YMCA as our host, you, the customers!!! We are all colorful pieces of the picture…the vibrant picture that tells a weekly story of this very successful local market!

Our story is rich, it’s exciting, and we are going full steam ahead…the picture is clear, we are a bona fide hit!

It’s Sunday, it’s gloomy…why not put a soundtrack of your own on to play, grab a cup of coffee or tea (hey, we offer both!), and get your orders in…

Be part of the local picture…keep our story groovy…

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

BULK BUY FOR GREEN PASTURES!

We are going to place an order for Fermented Cod Liver Oil for those interested in taking advantage of the many health benefits of FCLO and the savings! It is real pricey if you order individually, so email me if you are interested!
Green Pastures posts…
Many of the great historical cultures had one sacred food which they relied on to ensure strong mind, body, and spirit: Fermented fish/fish liver oil. The Mighty Roman Soldier was given a daily ration of fermented fish oil. The Stoic Scandinavian Viking had a drum of fermenting cod livers outside the door of his home. Grandma always had a bottle of cod liver oil in the back cupboard.

If you ordered from Mother Earth Meats, please email us the order so we can make sure we have all you purchased!

Stones River Market:  The Market is Back Open - A New Vendor Joins This Week

Market News

Welcome back to another week of local products. We want to welcome Franklin Juice Company to the Market. Brent joins us this week offering several varieties for fresh juice.

Other items of interest this week:

The recent cold snap has really affected the produce available. With the sun and warmer temperatures we are getting this weekend, this should help all the produce get back to growing. Watch for more varieties soon.

Flying S Farms is introducing a new bread this week. It is a 7 Grain Sour Dough Bread and rolls that has a smooth soft texture, great for sandwiches or toasting.

Many people like chicken tenders. Now Wedge Oak Farm brings them to the Market. For those interested in the Super Bowl, which is still a couple weeks away, both Wedge Oak Farm and West Wind Farms have chicken wings that are perfect for any parties you might be attending.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!

ALFN Local Food Club:  The Market is Open for a Happy Holiday!

Oh, What a Beautiful Holiday Weekend!

I guess that’s an Arkansas winter for you…sub-zero temps one week, gallivanting-through-a-field-singing-The Sound of Music the next. Before you head outside, consider placing an order of delicious local food from the market, because nothing goes better with good weather than good food!

In honor of the holiday, I leave you with this:
