Welcome to the Stones River Online Farmers Market. We are OPEN – Sunday 8AM, February 27 and Monday February 28th until 10PM.
Please share our market web address with your health-conscious friends, via text, email, or social media (and/or forward this message). https://stonesriver.locallygrown.net The more healthy members we have, the more variety of produce and product we can provide!
We look forward to seeing you on the Porch this Wednesday, March 2nd from 5-6:15, with deliveries following. Know that our growers have the hour prior to get their products organized so things might be a bit hectic (and crowded) if you come early.
Weblog from some of our Grower’s:
Quarter Spring Farm: We have all the delicious pasture raised chicken you need to kick those late winter blues. Our laying hens have gotten back to work for a change, so we have beautiful blue and brown chicken eggs on the market this week, too. And we have our usual selection of skin soothing soaps and luxurious lotions.
Bean Man: We trust everyone is safe and warm with the wild weather we’ve had this week. There’s nothing like a healthy, hearty breakfast and we all need options. New this week is our Oat Flour Pancake Mix – each package contains 3 packs – each of which contains the dry ingredients to make 9+ six inch pancakes (or you can make them larger). All you need is milk and an egg. We have also suggestions for a vegan alternative using almond milk and an arrowroot substitute for the egg. This Ready to Mix offering compliments our Scottish Oatmeals as well as our Buttermilk Pancake Mix to give you three great choices. If you follow our social media, this week we showed a picture of the Oat Flour Pancakes as well as one of our Scottish Oatmeal with sliced bananas as a different twist on breakfast. All of these are quick and easy to make.
As always, we have our Fresh Dry Beans and Mixes (don’t forget the Chili MIx for the cold weather), Gluten Free Flours and our Gluten Free Ready to Mix products including Black Bean Dip, Refried Beans and Sourdough Bread (all three of these are vegan as well). Don’t forget our Pizza Crust Mixes for some great gluten free alternatives including one which is vegan.
Oakview Farm: We have plenty of fresh items on sale this week: Hakurei turnips, Easter Egg radishes, and Salad Greens Mix! We also have our sourdough pretzels back on the market; they are delicious eaten by themselves or dipped in stone ground mustard. Don’t forget about our unique jam flavors: Green Tomato Marmalade, Cranberry Port, and Rum Raisin. Our favorite is the Green Tomato Marmalade; the acidity of the late-season green cherry tomatoes and lemon zest and rind is complemented by the fresh thyme and brown sugar; perfect for toasted bread or on a grilled pork chop!
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: I am back this week with limited quantities. I’ve missed you folks so much while my broken hand healed, but have been unable to prepare orders or even to drive for much of the past two months. But spring is peeping round the corner, relentlessly insisting that I make some daffodil bouquets available. I’m not really sure how many of the first blooms will be open by Wednesday, but I will fill as many orders as possible. Any that I am unable to fill are welcome to prepay for next week when I will be sure to have more. It seems to me as though they will be a bit shorter stemmed this year, but I might be wrong by the time they open.
I also have a very limited number of Pansy Planters and a few of the very early spring perennials – woodland phlox and some very special Lenten roses are in bloom. I also have several nice green & white striped spider plant baskets in the house.
I also have several nice green & white striped spider plant baskets in the house. And a few Christmas cacti are blooming a second time! They just help to make winter shorter.
Coming very soon: elderberry bushes dug from my own yard, creeping phlox in various colors, hens & chicks and other sedum plants. Spring is on the way!
Sow’s Ear Piggery: We have added new pork cuts this week: Top Round and Bottom Round Roasts make the perfect meal for cold weather. Pork tenderloins have also been added. Pork stew meat, chops, ribs, pork sausage, and ground pork are always in stock, too. As always, this pork is from free-range. outdoor pigs fed non-GMO, non-corn, and non-soy diets. No antibiotics ever.
Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week…

Gluten free/Vegan Bagels, 3 kinds: Cinnamon, Plain, and Everything,
Hummingbird Cake (with a gluten/dairy free option too),

Rus-T-Acres: Along with our Delicious Farm Raised Eggs and Cuts of Beef we have added something a little different on the market – Bundles of Fire Wood!
Good sized bundles of mostly seasoned oak fire wood, split and wrapped. Sticks are cut approximately 24" long and the bundles weigh approximately 15-20LBS. Great for a bon fire, camp fire, or your fireplace.
A&J Naturale: We have luxurious, whipped, Unscented moisturizer and also Lavender, these are hand crafted with locally sourced tallow. Tallow closely resembles the skin’s natural sebum so it can aid in the sealing in of moisture. Will replenish extremely dry, cracked skin.
Terry’s Treasures: I have been making hand painted glass vases in a variety of colors. I can make any custom vase if you need a special color. They make a perfect gift filled with fresh flowers. Willing to ship for added cost.
Succulent and cactus gardens make great gifts for so many occasions. Birthdays, anniversary, office coworker, or just because. I have many different sizes and plants. So easy to take care of. Prices vary from $12 and up. Thank you for your support. It is well appreciated.
Barefoot Acres Herbs: We are keeping busy, even in the winter. That’s the beauty of storing those dried herbs immediately after harvest. Our CBD with Anti-Inflammatory Herbs Salve is super fresh, along with the Healing and Respiratory Salves. Check out our other products. Glycerides have a shelf life of up to two years, while tinctures have been known to last 10 years under proper storage conditions. There are lots of yucky things going around right now; help support your body with Vitamin C Tincture and Elderberry Syrup.
Flying S Farms: Fresh Farm Eggs, Music Garlic, Jams and Jellies, and our popular 10" Cast Iron Skillet Yellow Cornbread. Stay tuned, more Jams and Baked items ‘COMING SOON’ did a bread slicer overhaul, it is almost put back together – now where did this bolt go?? LOL The Sweet Bread Starter is getting very bubbly and happy and Our Sour Dough Starter is doing the same, today is feeding day! FEED ME – Seymour – FEED ME! (Little Shop of Horrors, 1986)
Quinn’s Mercantile: We have SPECIALS on several of our Clothing Items. We are always receiving new items each week, we have several great Spring clothing items and gifts. Many of our local products proudly represent Murfreesboro and Tennessee.
Bluhen Farm: We will be in taking a brief break for this month of February. We hope to be back early March. The cold weather and lack of sun have hit us hard this winter.
Five White Oak: I was hoping to back on the Market with my items but unfortunately still requiring more rest and healing time. A quote from her Dad…this is just for now not forever!

Miami County Locally Grown: The Market is open, and we have mushrooms!
Shop here
We’re open for ordering for the week! Studebaker “History in the Baking” is back after a week break, so all of her delicious, hearty breads are available.
And yes, we have mushrooms! There are two varieties – grey dove oyster and pioppino, both of which are delicious cooked. Oysters are meaty, mild, and nutty with a very faint seafood flavor. They are excellent sauteed in butter with thyme, mixed into your favorite sauce or even scrambled eggs. Pioppino are also mild and nutty but get slightly crisp when cooked. They’re good in just about anything – stir fries, soups, and risotto to name a few. There are limited amounts available, but look for more stock to be added Friday.
Have a great week, everyone!

Fayetteville Farmers' Market: Online Orders NOW OPEN
Online Orders are OPEN now and close at 6am on Wed morning. Drive by pick up Thurs March 3 from 4:30-6:00 PM.
NOTE: if you ordered last week, you will need to place your order again. All orders were cancelled due to weather and not carried to this week.
I think we will all be glad to see February behind us. Weather this week is better, but the very low day and night time temperatures have once again slowed production right now.
This remains a low time for fresh produce and eggs. Available this week: sweet potatoes, collards, kale, chard, purple radishes, mushrooms and mushroom products, chicken and duck eggs. Good selection of meats and cheeses.
Our bakers have GREAT variety right now—including sweet treats, cookies, granolas, pastries, breads and other goodies to suit every taste. Our gluten free baker has several special treats. Our cookie bakers can put together a bag or box of favorites.
And don’t forget about our craft folks who sell online. Cards, art prints, wooden crafts, soaps, personal care items, sewn crafts and more.
BUYING TIP: If you see items that you want but not much available, order and pay and then log back in and continue shopping. Your orders will be combined and you will only be charged once.
PICKUP TIME:
4:30pm to 6:00 pm on THURSDAY.

New customers and orders always welcome—no minimum order required.
TIPS:
1) Sellers sometimes add more products later in the ordering period, so be sure to check back. The product list changes each week, even from the same seller, so it’s worth exploring the categories you are interested in.

GROWER & MARKET NOTES
Have you been outside today? It’s been a glorious day to live in south Alabama! A favorite quote is that sometimes God shows up, and sometimes He shows out. Today has definitely been a “show out” day and this editor is keeping this newsletter brief to get more time outside before the sun sets.

AVALON FARMS: Greenhouse Update
Most of these were started before the family medical emergency interrupted “the plan”. We have some experimental greenhouse cucumbers just starting to bloom (top left). Lettuces! Trying lots of lettuces. (Lower left) With tomatoes and eggplants in back. The empty tray (top right) will be more lettuces. A full tray of broccoli and sprouting broccoli (lower right) with peppers in the back. Some of these will be heading to the field soon.
Thank you all for your prayers and kind thoughts for our son. He is at home now (in West Virginia) but continues physical and occupational therapy. He has a long road ahead but is on the road to recovery.
We 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!
