In addition to their Cedar, handmade planters, you can find their Microgreens for Pets combos for Cats and Dogs and for us humans: Arugula, Basil, Broccoli, Kale, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass! These greens are ready to be snipped and added to smoothies, salads or your favorite juice!


Tammy and Jeff Sosby of Peacefield Farms offer hydroponically grown Beefsteak Tomatoes. You can still have a taste of summer in your salads! A variety of other winter veggies are growing and will be available soon! I love having tomatoes in the winter.

I am excited … I have never roasted a Duck and am glad for Greg and Lainya’s expertise!


Bone Broth made from the Soup Bones from Heritage Farm is rich and delicious! Just the ticket to ward off those ‘winter bugs’ and boost your immune system! I enjoy a combination of Beef and Lamb daily and have some simmering in the crockpot as I write this!

Market News

Welcome back to another week of locally grown and made products. The pick up schedule for Murfreesboro customers returns to Wednesday. There is still no pick up available for Nashville customers this week.

Several vendors are taking a vacation this week. They include Botanical Harmony, Chef Jenny, Flying S Farm, Kelly Creek Farm and the Blue Porch. White City Produce and Greenhouse has completed their growing season and will return this spring. Tami sends this message to everyone – I just want to say thank you to everyone for your support this season. We’re looking forward to a great 2015! Happy New Year!

Rocky Glade Farm tells me they only have two to three more weeks left for sweet potatoes. They still have half and full bushel quantities on the Carolina Ruby. Covington variety is very limited.

West Wind Farm has re-stocked many of their beef products including ground beef.

Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has this message:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some very nice herb baskets which will make useful as well as pretty table decorations this winter. With a little water and a little artificial light, they will produce clippings for your wintertime cooking. Available herbs are:

  • LEMON BALM
  • MINTS (chocolate, peppermint, pineapple [variegated], spearmint, grapefruit)
  • OREGANO (Greek or variegated)
  • ROSEMARY
  • RUE
  • SAGE, Garden
  • STEVIA (small but healthy)
  • THYME (Lemon, English, silver-edged, citrus, lime)

Please specify three herbs to be included. Finished basket is approximately 12" diameter and 6" tall.

We have a couple left-over kissing balls that will make good decorations for your winter garden for several more weeks. Right now these are on after-Christmas close-out special, marked half-price.

We also have some other nice houseplants, dish gardens, windowsill gardens, and hanging baskets to brighten up your indoor wintertime. Check them out on the market!

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!

Recipes

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too! If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.

I am taking a break from recipes. Look for them to return soon.

I thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Good evening to all of our friends within The Wednesday Market community. We trust that everyone had a Merry Christmas yesterday. We certainly did!

There is only one holiday left to celebrate in 2014, and that is New Year’s Eve. Due to the holiday falling on Wednesday, we are moving our pick up time and date to Tuesday, Dec. 30, from 3 to 6 p.m. Please place your orders by Sunday, Dec. 28, at 10 a.m. (This is the same pattern we used last week and during the week of Thanksgiving.)

This is the last opportunity to order from the Market in 2014, so please get your orders in as early as possible for the best selection. Visit the website to see this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

We return to our “normal” schedule for the first Market of the new year, Jan. 7, 2015. The Market will be turned on for ordering late Saturday evening, Jan. 3. The ordering period will close at 10 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5, at 10 p.m. Orders will be ready for pick up on Wednesday, Jan. 7, between 3 and 6 p.m.

Thank you for your support of The Wednesday Market. 2014 was an AWESOME year, and we look forward to serving you in 2015.

Thanks,

Beverly
