Farm News of the Week

Welcome this week to Full Circle Candles from Monteagle. From the farm description:
Owner Debbie Blinder loved burning candles in the home but realized the candles she bought had bad elements that effected her and her family’s health, such as cheap fragrances, color dyes, and lead wicks. She decided to experiment, creating a healthier candle for her home and before she knew it, her handmade candles were being sold at craft fairs, farmers’ markets and local stores.

All of Full Circle Candles are made with much detail and positive energy. Debbie loves to give a special name to each candle and adds a special, positive and fun charm for the icing on the cake. All the candles are made with soy wax (and we do have beeswax candles too!) All fragrances used are GMO, Dye, Phthalate and Animal Cruelty Free. Many fragrances are also infused with essential oils. They will burn even and smell amazing for your home. Like aromatherapy!

These candles carry much detail, care and love in them. Full Circle also gives back monthly to environmental organizations. Enjoy your candles!!

Welcome also to Cindy’s Suds from Manchester. Look for her liquid laundry soap with and without essential oil scent.

Kountry Vittles will be away for a couple of weeks, caring for a family medical emergency. Molly asked me to apologize to her customers.


Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has too many choices for your Mother’s Day shopping! We have added to the market several types of lovely flowering hanging baskets and some colorful planters with violas, snapdragons, and dianthus. Please check out our new terracotta herb planters as well. We’ve added a limited number of adorable miniature carnation “gardens in a vase.” And last, we have some tomato and pepper plants in gallon containers for Mother’s vegetable garden. Don’t forget about our beautiful perennial plants for Mother’s favorite garden spot (sun or shade, we have them all); herb plants for her culinary, medicinal, or ornamental garden; and foliage hanging baskets for her porch or patio. I will even be glad to deliver your purchase of $25 or more on Saturday if you prefer not to keep it for several days.

We will have strawberries again this week! These are “Chandler” variety, grown by one of the Mennonite families in Altamont. Order early; the gallons sold out on the market last week. Mr. Nolt will have a few extras at market, so please invite a friend to pay us a visit, learn about the market, and pick up some delicious strawberries.
