NEWS AND NOTES

This week, Corey Mack Raper of Macks’ Mushrooms has a question for all our customers. As he explains it:
My circumstance is kind of unique in that if somebody places an order with Macks’ it will be 5-14 days before I can have the mushrooms ready. Therefore, customers would order one week, and pick up at the market either one or two weeks later, depending on the growing cycle. Given this information, would you be interested in ordering mushrooms from Macks’? Thanks for helping this farmer to make plans.

Yes, you certainly can eat healthy meals in the winter! This is the place to find wonderful winter vegetables, delicious pork, beef, and chicken cuts, dried herbs, rich creamline milk, organic free-range eggs, raw local honey, jams and jellies.

This is the last week to save $25 on a CSA share from White City Produce. Tami has also added summer shares, which will be available until March 30th.

It’s great to be able to get locally grown foods in the winter. But our farmers’ market is not just about eating healthy. Please take note of some of the other types of products on this market, all locally produced. We have a great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, bath & beauty products, baled hay, and house and garden plants.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has listed some of the very early blooming perennial plants. And this week the daffodil bouquets are back! They will be in limited supply this week, but if you miss out, there will be more next week.

Stop by Square Books soon and see our MLG Table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some honey, jam or jelly, hand lotion, herbal tea, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy this winter.

(L to R) Several cuts of Grass fed Angus and Kobe style beef from Paccman Ranch, Several different types of Community-Supported Agriculture shares from various farmers, Daffodil bouquet and Pink-and-yellow Primrose from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

More new farmers are considering joining our market, if they can expect enough sales to help pay their transportation costs.
