Growers News:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: It’s Christmas time in Tennessee! Well, not really, but it is time to put in your order for decorations from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. This year I will be selling at Wildwood Christmas Tree Farm in Woodbury, and I want to be sure to reserve enough decorations for all my local friends.

So here is how this will work: prepay the total cost now, and reserve a delivery date. Note: it will be easier for me to fill your order on a later date. I promise I will not run out of wreaths and kissing balls, but it’s hard to make as many as are wanted early in the season. They should last about a month if outside, and will be just as beautiful after Christmas as before. Delivery will begin the first Wednesday of December and continue till all orders are filled. Order and pay now, pick up and enjoy in December. Coming in a month or so: Christmas cacti and African violets, both with foil florist pot wrap.

Sing Bee Honey: Fall is in the air! It is time for fall festivals, warm sweaters, and backyard fires. But, are you ready for cold and flu season? Honey has been shown to lessen symptoms of sore throat and suppress cough. Several studies have shown the benefits of honey when used for respiratory symptoms. You can read more with a quick search of WebMD or Mayo Clinic online. Recommended methods of taking honey include eating a spoonful of honey and allowing it to trickle down your throat as you slowly swallow or adding honey to a warm cup of tea. As a reminder, honey is not recommended for infants under 1 year of age. While honey is not a cure for the cold or flu, it can sure help make the symptoms more bearable. Honey is available in a number of sizes in both jars and convenient squeeze bottles. Stock up so you are ready for the winter season!

It’s a perfect time of year for some soothing, hot tea!

Several folks who visited on Wednesday were made aware of the roll-out and we also reference recipes in the product descriptions on the our site as well as provide those recipes on the backs of the packages. Not to worry on the Almond Flour as an allergen, we have a separate facility where all processing, milling, testing a packaging is performed so those customers at risk are safe as that is a priority. All first time buyers will receive a copy of our recipe sheet in case they are looking for quality cooking ideas.

We do our best to allow the rhythms of the earth and seasons to rule our practices throughout the year. We primarily grow and harvest live plants during the warm, growing seasons and as the cold season returns, we dry and process the herbs, using the dormant period to create our herbal products. Time of year may affect what is readily available, but we will keep our list updated.

Grown in our greenhouse on the east side of Murfreesboro, we have a variety of different herbs available in 4" liner pots. Our plants are grown from seed or cuttings in organic mix. We also offer some in dried form by the ounce as they come available.

East Fork Farm: Time to tuck your plants in for the winter chill. Order our organic worm castings for plants, trees, lawns and anything else you can grow. This product is non toxic, child and pet friendly and you don’t have to be concerned about using too much. The benefits of worm castings are: fighting fungal diseases and pests i.e., aphids, white flies, spider mites and other pests that feed of plants juices. The castings can be used to rehab all potting and ground soils for up to 1 year making it a great soil amendment addition to any plant lovers garden.

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  Weblog Entry

This week we are trying to support a local talent. Ashley Griffin submitted herself in a talent competition and is trying to raise money for travel expenses. If you would like to help a young, local talent try to realize her dream you can purchase her family recipe pie and the proceeds go to her fund.

Our sweet potatoes are ready this week. they vary wildly in size and shape so orders may not be the perfect ovals! We will get as close to the 1/2 pound you desire.

We have added a third soup to the rotation from now on. Thanks for your feedback! If you have one you’d like to see offered, don’t hesitate to send requests!

Also, I will be heading to Buffalo next weekend for a wedding so there will be no market on 11/6.

Thanksgiving is on the horizon as well! I will have pies, appetizers, sides soups, and salads for preorder soon.

Thank you for your orders!

Champaign, OH:  Rainy Days and Mondays

No need for the lyrics…you can add your own song implant from the title…

It was definitely a rainy mess, yesterday, and now, looking out my windows, appears to have more of the same, in store, for today.

While the gloominess is a downer, it does help me with getting things done. It makes me stay in one place, inside, light candles, play music, and get some much needed tasks accomplished.

This song also brings back all those 70s vibes, with me singing into my hairbrush, pretending to be a famous songstress, up on her stage. I’ve had 70s vibes, all weekend, I guess, after a group that I am a part of, on social media, girls from my high school started a girls group, to always bolster, and empower, and encourage…quite nice, but ANYWAY, we also will post things like…remember this?

This weekend was about remembering our childhoods of the 70s, and playing with our Barbie collections. Sweet memories, funny to think about, now, but it was just such a feel good moment to think back to those carefree, rainy days, when Barbie was my best friend, and my entire room would become a technicolor playground of Barbie and her fashions and houses.

Feel good throwbacks are what I like to call these. So often, so much is forgotten, until something unlocks the fun memory.

This market, to me, is that feel good part of the week. And, while it’s only 10 years old, I do have all the early days of memories of this market, thinking that it would never get off the ground. But, here we are…thriving like never before.

It’s Monday, as my weblog title has stated, and you have all day to get your orders in, to begin your own feel good week.

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
