Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  It's Fall, Y'all!

The market opened for ordering, as usual, on Sunday morning, and will close at 10 pm on Tuesday. Please support our local farmers, all of whom live within thirty miles of our market. Shorten your supply chain! Shop local!

Please share this mailing with a friend and invite them to become a customer and share in all this local farm goodness.


NOTES
Remember to order items from Solace Farm by Tuesday afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Remember: you can always order your Solace Farm products early, and place a second order for your other items.

Please note that both cow’s and goat’s milk can be frozen so that you will have a whole week’s supply. Simply divide a bottle into two containers to allow some room for expansion as the milk freezes. If you have any questions, ask the managers.

It is fall, and boy did that happen fast! No more 90* days for us this year! The harvest has started, and the fall veggies are coming out of the garden. This week’s goodies:

(top) Red potatoes, delicata squash, and Jumbo Sweet Candy onions from Country Road Homestead

(middle 2 rows) Pumpkins & okra from Valley View Farm & Garden; field peas from CS3 Farms.

(bottom) Peppers ‘White Zinfandel’, ‘Lilac’, and ‘Flamingo’ from Dogwood Acres.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present pounds and pounds of perfectly pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. Our scintillating skin softening soaps are suavely secented and smell supberb. We also have lamb products.

Arrington Farm: Welcome back to the market with their delicious breads.

Thweatt Things: Added a new item this week, the Walker Tote organizer fits over most walkers and makes a stable holder for newspapers, remotes, fiber arts and crafts, tissues, phones and water bottles. These lightweight totes are made of cotton and completely washable. These make great gifts for the elderly who rely on walkers for mobility. Or Mother’s with strollers to keep items handy.

The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Lavendar Cottage: We have add some increased sizes! Delicious snack to lunch bags and just a mid-day treat….This week we are bring some Freeze Dried candies into the market along with our Freeze dried fruits and veggies.

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.*

Martin's Farmstand:  U-Pick Grapes

It is autumn and harvest time. There are so many good things to eat at the farmstand. I have a tub of edamame (green soybeans) today and napa cabbage. Eggplant, tomatoes, onions and peppers (sweet and hot) are in their prime. The grapes on our trellis are ripening with peak quality next week and the following week. I have them by the quart or half bushel box ($20) U-pick grapes are $10 per half bushel. U-pick is available anytime the stand is open- Bring you own clippers. U-pick fall raspberries also are in season- the spotted wing fruit fly is limiting the crop quanity and quality though. The apple crop is really good this year. Yesterday we went over in the evening to the old farm and picked 40 bushels of sweet sixteen apples from just a few trees. We have both first quality and sauce/ cooking apples that are completly organic. Enjoy this season. Daniel
