Welcome our newest Grower:

Sweet Girl Honey Farm: We are a family farm in Woodbury, TN using regenerative agricultural practices to produce raw-unfiltered honey, infused honey, honey sweetened jams/jellies, herbal teas/spice blends and natural beeswax/tallow skin care and soap. We also provide fresh eggs (chicken, quail), meat rabbits (availible in August) and seasonal fresh produce (vegetables, herbs, fruit, live plants).

Grower’s News:

Linwood Lamb: we are back this week with 2 new products: Chorizo Lamb Brats and Fetta Cheese and Spinach Lamb Sliders. We have restocked all cuts including the popular Thick Cut Lamb Chops and the Big Juicy Lamb Leg Steaks. If you are grilling this summer, make sure Linwood Lamb is on the menu!

Quarter Spring Farm: Due to unprecedented demand, Quarter Spring Farm will be out of breast cuts for about the next month. I already have some more chickens in, so we should be fully restocked by early August at the latest. In the meantime, we still have plenty of whole birds and thigh cuts. And all of our chicken is raised on pasture and fed non-GMO feed to make it extra delicious and good for you. And we also have plenty of skin-softening goat’s milk soap. I have added a new product onto the market this week, our Soap End Sampler. Thanks for all of your support and try to stay cool out there.

Thweet Things: These are handmade Japanese style knot bags in three sizes. They have multiple uses including project bags for embroidery or knitting, book bags, market bags, garden picking bags…anything you need to tote. The small size is perfect for when you need only to carry a phone and wallet. They are constructed of heavy cotton (like duck fabric) for durability and lined with coordinating quilting cotton. The large size has interior pockets: two small pockets for pencils/pens or knitting needles and three larger pockets for your phone or keys. Small: approximately 9.5” x 13.5”. Medium: approximately 12.5” x 17.5” Large: approximately 16” x 28.5” Machine washable. Lay flat to dry. Lightly iron if needed.

Rus-T-Farm: We have a good selection of our Angus Beef and Pork products this week.

RC Farms: Along with a great assortment of produce and BEEF we now have some popular fruit available and more to come. Find Cantaloupes, Peaches & Cream Corn and Peaches this week. We’ve restocked our Beef selections.

Terry’s Treasures: I have started making beautiful hand painted vases that will let you showcase your own beautiful flowers. Several different color designs or you can request your own color.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: we are back on the market this week with ‘NEW’ Non-GMO pork products, including pork tenderloin, cutlets, and chops, as well as roasts, ground pork, and mild pork sausage (no MSG).
You will notice some packaging changes with the ground products, as our butcher was unable to source the typically tube-like sleeves we are accustomed to getting. Also, this order was from a pig with a higher fat percentage due to its heritage breeding. In the past, if you have needed to add a little oil to fry our sausage or ground pork, this will not be necessary. In fact, you will be able to drain a couple of tablespoons of oil from your skillet. This rendered lard is excellent for sauteing garlic, onions, mushrooms, or cooking eggs. Studies have shown that outdoor, pasture-raised pigs have higher omega 3 and lower saturated fat than commercial pork raised in warehouses on concrete with no access to foraging. As always, Sow’s Ear Piggery pork is non-GMO fed and USDA inspected.

Flying S Farms: This week we have our Fresh Farm Chicken Eggs, Green Garlic Bulbs, Zucchini and Yellow Straight neck Squash, Scallop Squash, Cucumbers, Onions and Potatoes, Sweet Peppers, Peaches & Cream Corn if we get some rain, will add to our inventory when we do. Most are of our Baked items are available, by request added our delicious Zucchini Pineapple Bread with our without nuts.

Bean Man: We will be off market for a couple weeks due to a out of state family illness

Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

GROWER & MARKET NOTES

New & Relisted Products

More medicinal botanicals from Alabama Homestead Fire Ant First Aid – Hortons Farm _~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

This is one of our family’s favorite quotes and has been a lifelong principal. It came to mind this morning thinking about the awful heat we endured last month. Now that we’re into the “hot” summer months in some ways it feels like we’ve already gone through them. Yet we press on, doing things the hard way because the hard way is the RIGHT way. Our growers have chosen a different path than traditional mainstream gardening. Sustainable practices involve a lot more WORK, and ours have chosen that path. Some would say it’s unreasonable, but it’s what makes it possible for our customer friends to enjoy CLEAN SAFE food every week. THANK YOU for supporting our local farmers and it is our deepest desire to be a blessing to you and your good health.

_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ALABAMA HOMESTEAD has a few new products listed this week in the Medicinal Herbs category. The product descriptions contain a lot of information about the various items and we hope you’ll take the time to learn about them and how to incorporate these safe items into your own health regime.

_~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AVALON FARMS: Squash and cucumbers will not be listed this week. With that excessive heat last week the plants didn’t set any fruit and look rough. I’ve hit them with some kelp fertilizer to give them a boost. Some already look much better and have baby squash. I’m hopeful that they’ll be back in the market next week.

The blackberries are finished for this year. Blueberries will be available this week and maybe longer.

We had a very strange thing happen this week. We found a kitten in our Mazda van! Apparently it was in there for 2 days!!! Black van, in the sun, in South Alabama summer heat…..don’t know how it survived. Or how it got in. It seems ok. Very thin. But getting it’s energy back. Must have climbed into the van when we were picking things since we leave the back open then. Makes me wonder/worry how many more babies are around.

Spotlight on OKRA Part I of II

1. Rich in nutrients: Okra boasts an impressive nutrient profile.
One cup (100 grams) of raw okra contains:
*Calories: 33
*Carbs: 7 grams
*Protein: 2 grams
*Fat: 0 grams
*Fiber: 3 grams
*Magnesium: 14% of the Daily Value (DV)
*Folate: 15% of the DV
*Vitamin A: 14% of the DV
*Vitamin C: 26% of the DV
*Vitamin K: 26% of the DV
*Vitamin B6: 14% of the DV

Okra is an excellent source of vitamins C and K1. Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient that contributes to your overall immune function, while vitamin K1 is a fat-soluble vitamin that’s known for its role in blood clotting.
Additionally, okra is low in calories and carbs and contains some protein and fiber. Many fruits and vegetables lack protein, which makes okra somewhat unique.
Eating enough protein is associated with benefits for weight management, blood sugar control, bone structure, and muscle mass.

2. Contains beneficial antioxidants: Okra packs many antioxidants that benefit your health. Antioxidants are compounds in food that fend off damage from harmful molecules called free radicals. The main antioxidants in okra are polyphenols, including flavonoids and isoquercetin, as well as vitamins A and C.

Research shows that eating a diet high in polyphenols may improve heart health by lowering your risk of blood clots and oxidative damage . Polyphenols may also benefit brain health due to their unique ability to enter your brain and protect against inflammation. These defense mechanisms may help protect your brain from symptoms of aging and improve cognition, learning, and memory.

3. May lower heart disease risk: High cholesterol levels are associated with a greater risk of heart disease.Okra contains a thick gel-like substance called mucilage, which can bind to cholesterol during digestion, causing it to be excreted with stools rather than absorbed into your body.

One 8-week study randomly divided mice into 3 groups and fed them a high-fat diet containing 1% or 2% okra powder or a high-fat diet without okra powder. The mice on the okra diet eliminated more cholesterol in their stools and had lower total blood cholesterol levels than the control group.

Another possible heart benefit of okra is its polyphenol content. One 4-year study in 1,100 people showed that those who ate a diet rich in polyphenols had lower inflammatory markers associated with heart disease.
