Farm News of the Week
From Richard Brooks of Triple B Farms:
Crusader Coffee! Roasted on Coffee St in Coffee County, it doesn’t get any fresher! Our coffee is specifically roasted for Templar Shooting Sports, located at 1101 S Jackson St in Tullahoma. Our three blends are roasted special for the quality flavor and freshness any coffee lover desires. Delivered to us within 48 hours of roasting!
When you purchase any blend of Crusader Coffee, not only are you getting locally roasted, fresh coffee, you’re supporting your local economy and a cause worthy of all Americans. 10% of all profit from Crusader Coffee goes directly to A Soldiers Child foundation, founded and located in Smyrna, TN. They are a local charity whose mission is to celebrate the life of children who have lost a parent, while on active duty. Each child sponsored receives a birthday celebration worthy of the honor and sacrifice their family has made for our nation.

From Amy at Solace Farms:
We are picking up the next batch of grass-fed Scottish Highland beef this week! To clear the freezers, we are running a special on beef roasts this week only – 20% off all shoulder, rump, and round roasts! Spring is coming soon, but there will still be a few more chilly days, just perfectly suited to a hearty stew, chili, pot roast, or crockpot meal.
And from Pam at Macks’ Mushrooms:
Look at these huge Shiitake mushrooms that Corey and Mack are growing on the farm. These are very delicious mushrooms. We eat them often in our omelets and in dishes we make. Fresh mushrooms are so much tastier than canned mushrooms.
