News from our Growers:
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: The very early perennial plants are coming to life very nicely. While many of them are not yet in bloom, it’s a very good time to plant them so you will be able to enjoy their whole bloom season. In bloom now is Mukdenia, the odd plant that blooms before its leaves emerge. Also the Jacob’s ladder, a couple of pincushion flowers, and Euphorbia are blooming. More perennials will be sure to burst forth in color next week! The flowering almond is a beautiful small shrub which adds to the early spring display. If you are looking for a houseplant, I have also added several African violets back to the market this week as well. While the yellow and white daffodils have finished their show, the later doubles and multi-flowers should be doing well this week. If you’d like to return your vase and/or packing box, I will be glad to recycle them.
RnR Farm: Along with several of our delicious lettuce varieties we have a special treat this week…Turkey Eggs:
These are pasture-raised turkey eggs. Turkey eggs are almost exactly the same as chicken eggs in texture and taste, but each egg is almost twice as big as the average chicken egg. We have one turkey hen that was pardoned from Thanksgiving last fall, and she has started laying eggs as the weather has warmed. So we are selling these very limited eggs by the half dozen. Turkeys lay much fewer eggs than chickens, and they usually only lay in the Spring. So this is a rare treat indeed. Our turkey hen is fed locally sourced non-GMO feed and resides in a turkey tractor that allows her to constantly forage on fresh pasture. Since most turkeys are processed in the fall and never get to laying age, this may be your only opportunity to get fresh, non-GMO turkey eggs.
Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week! We have Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread(with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts(cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies(chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!
Short Mountain Cultures: we are best known for making a wide range of small batch fermented foods and beverages such as sauerkraut, kimchi, coconut Kefir(non-dairy), tempeh (soy & soy free), water kefir and kombucha. SMC also offers a varied selection of organic bulk foods from their shop ranging from beans and grains to dried fruits and raw nuts. Also amongst many locally made/ sourced options are Hatcher Dairy Milks and Alchemy of Sol Soaps.
Body & Soul Teas: We offer teas for sipping and teas for soaking. Our herbal tea blends nourish and support the body and soul. Our most popular blend, Tennessee Sunshine, is a tribute to the place I have called home for the past 18 years. It contains hibiscus, rose, and mints which impart a sweet, tart taste. It is delicious served hot or cold. We also offer blends that support specific body functions such as stress relief and digestive support.
Our bath teas and soaks offer soothing relief and relaxation to tired achy bodies. To see our full product line, read our blog, and join our newsletter, please go to http://www.bodysoulteas.com.
May you be blessed body and soul. Pat
Barefoot Acres Herbs: This week I will be working on lymphatic cleanse salve and some lotion bars.
Sassy Cassies: We have some delicious Easter side dishes the next two weeks. We have cornbread casserole, sweet potato casseroles, squash casserole, bacon braised brussels sprouts and more. Our soups will take a hiatus till Fall with exception of our chicken soups. They will remain for awhile, because everyone needs a little chicken soup in their lives, no matter the weather.
Valentine Family Farm: It feels great being back on the market with one of our most requested pickles. Our delicious Pickled Okra as well as our SPICY Pickled Okra.Pickled Okra are the most beautiful and subtly complex pickles you will ever have. Our pickles include seasonal and locally wild-crafted ingredients including industrial hemp of the Finola variety. We personally grew this hemp as part of the Tennessee Department of Agriculture Pilot program. We carefully place these ingredients in the jar to display their beauty. The combination of these ingredients pickled together creates a flavor that is subtly complex like no other. Our pickles are hand made in small batches and are produced in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We recommend ordering more than one jar. This is because many of our first time customers struggle with purchasing one jar and finishing its contents on the way home. As the seasons change we will update the ingredients. All of the ingredients are edible. Ingredients: Okra, onions, garlic, dill, Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora), water, apple cider vinegar, salt, peppercorns(red, green, black), lemon, Staghorn Sumac Fruit (Rhus typhina),red pepper flakes, dill seed, mustrad seed, Peppergrass (Lepidium Virginicum), Industrial Hemp (Cannabis sativa L), Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota), Bushy Beard Lichen (Usnea strigosa)
Wedge Oak Farm: Taking a brief break and will return next week.
Flying S Farms: Taking a brief break out of the kitchen this week, our Chicken Eggs remain available.
Delivery Service is available within a 10 mile radius of Murfreesboro, outside areas will be considered and delivery is available to Woodbury at a host location. If this is the first time you’ve requested delivery please put your address in comments before you check out….Method of Payment is Cash, Checks or Credit/Debit Cards or we can email an Invoice including a $1.00 service fee.

GROWER & MARKET NOTES
Soooooooooo . . . in last week’s newsletter we gave a shout out for the beautiful weather only to have to cancel the Market because of the weather! Market at Dothan operates year around in rain, wind, heat and cold, but we draw the line when Mother Nature gives us storms that could make it unsafe to travel. We don’t want growers or customers on the roads when conditions could be hazardous. Last week was the second time we’ve had to make that hard decision since 2016 and we hope it’s the last time. Please accept our apologize for any inconveniences and we appreciate your understanding.
CASABLANCA RANCH: It is safe to say that spring has sprung at the ranch. Most all my young fruit trees have budded out and some of the dormant cutting in the little pots at the barn are showing signs of life. But the surest sign of spring is all the pollen and my allergies going wild. The cows have almost quit eating hay and are on the young grass. D has been repairing some of the fences for me so we can control the grazing and rotate the herd and allow the grass to thrive. We also have welcomed 2 new calves to the ranch, and expect some more soon. I have reduced the herd to about 17 brood cows, but with D helping we plan to rebuild the herd to a bout 50 brood cows for now. We have several beautiful heifers and some of them are bred. I am dividing the new heifers into a different pasture area and these will become D and A’s herd, as me and the old herd begin to fade away. This will be a process, and the schedule will depend on the Lord as he gives me strength. Without them steeping up and helping I would be slowly liquidating the herd now. They did not come to help with any conditions, only to aid this old man. The transferring of the calves is all my idea. It is a thrill to me to not lose the excellent bloodlines I have developed over the years and to be able to impart some of my experience to them. They are diligent to come every day to help see to the needs of the cows and the chickens. I am continuing to build up the fruit and berry stock and to nurture them as best I know how.
”Why can’t I find___________ on the Market?” That’s a good question with a lot of possible answers!
- It’s not in season
- If it is seasonal possible crop failure as Avalon experienced not long ago
- In the case of meat waiting for animals to grow, then waiting for the butcher is always an issue
- An item may not be local to this area as we source from a 50 mile radius
- YOU may be the person supposed to supply that! We are always open to new vendors who meet our sustainable standards. One person and one farm can’t do everything and we’re proud to be a COMMUNITY of like minded growers and producers each doing our part.
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! `
