Countdown to Close...Order Until 8:00pm tonight!
The Market closes Monday at 8:00pm!
Please remember that minimums must be met for each Market to ensure delivery by our Farmers! At the present time we are a little more than 3/4’s of the way to minimum! Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!
…this and that…
The Chops are fabulous and I am trying the Smoked Polish Links this week! Also, I have ordered the Ready to Eat Pulled Pork and the Canadian Bacon! Sarah and her husband are quite taken with the Pulled Pork and I am looking forward to trying it! Uncured Hams are listed this week! Large, (approx 23#’s) — one of these would be perfect for Easter. I noticed that Greg also listed a few Whole Chickens in his offerings this week! This will be the last of Whole Chickens until May, so take note!Beef, Chicken, Lamb and Pork — Heritage Farm has it all!
Don’t forget Carrell Farms has Alpaca, Water Buffalo and Lamb. The Alpaca Sausage is great on the grill or cooked in an iron skillet. I use a mix of Alpaca Bones and Water Buffalo Bones to make a very rich Bone Broth! Alpaca and Lamb also make a rich, yummy Bone Broth!
Although Doug of Doug’s Garden will no longer have access to his wonderful space, he has harvested lots of Carrots and is offering them this week! These are YUMMY!
Grow With the Flow is offering English Pea Sprouts this week!
Eggs (Organic, from Free Range Hens) These are really flavorful and yolks are orange!
3 varieties of Cabbages
Purple Top Turnips
Hakurie Turnips
Georgia Collard Greens
Did you know that we have several different options for Organic Cereals and Grains?
Rolled Oats (Organic Rolled Oats)
Stone Ground Grits (Organic Corn Grits)
Einkorn Wheat Berries Organic Perfect to mill yourself and make your own Bread!
Einkorn Flour Organic Freshly milled when ordered!
Red Wheat Organic Freshly milled when ordered or request the berries and mill yourself!
Veggies: Although we have had some beautiful weather and our Veggie Farmers are hard at work getting early Spring items planted, we are technically still in the Winter Season. Take heart! Soon, Back River Farm, Fry Farm, Grow With the Flow will be bringing the fruits of their labors to the Market and we will all welcome them back with open arms! The Veggie Patch and Healing Earth Farm will continue to add products as Mother Nature allows! So, hold on, my friends and pray for good weather and bountiful Harvests!
In the past, Greg of Heritage Farm has reserved his excellent produce for his own Market and CSA customers. This year, Greg and Lainya have made some changes and have hired a Produce Manager! This will greatly increase their harvest and we will be fortunate in gaining this additional source of yummy Veggies! We all appreciate the goodness of the Meat from Heritage Farm and judging from this experience as well as Veggies I was privileged to try last year, their produce will delight also! I am grateful for Greg’s continued participation in our Markets and welcome his new offerings!
Starting this next week, I intend to return to writing my missives and musings. In them, I hope to keep you informed of what is happening with our Farmers as well as tidbits of information, links to information regarding challenges our Farmers face in bringing healthy, chemical free, nutrient-dense food to us! Seemingly little nuances in laws to rules of meat processing facilities affect the Farmers and ultimately us in very real ways! Stay tuned!
