The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.

Good morning!

Did you know that by ordering on the locallygrown market, you are virtually assured of receiving the “cream of the crop” from each farmer? You will receive the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! You can’t get any fresher and higher quality than that! Thank you for supporting your local farmers and small businessmen and women.

The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.

Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

Farm News of the Week

Erdmann Farm is on vacation mode for a couple of weeks. When I get back, I should have radishes and pumpkins in addition to the peppers I’ve had.

… to let us know if you have suggestions for new products which could be offered by the market. We have a good variety of farms, many of which can alter their plans slightly upon request.


Smirk Ice Cream will be available on the market this week. Treat yourself!

Natural & Old-Fashioned Operation at Casey Family Farm
Here at the Casey Family Farm we’re checking into certifying our cows as A2 cows. Our cows are all Guernsey and Jersey, with the Guernsey genes comprising about 75% of our herd. Approximately 90% of all Guernsey cows are A2 animals. We plan to test and certify our animals in the near future to verify that our milk is indeed A2 milk! A2 milk is a genetically superior milk which has been naturally preserved in select cows which did not go through a genetic mutation which occurred in cows many, many years ago. Most milk sold today( well over 90%) comes from Holstein cows which have the mutation or A1 milk. For more information on A2 milk, you can go to https://a2milk.com/faq/

We do feed grain to our milk cows in the milking parlor. However, our herd has year round access to hay and pasture ( when available), so we can honestly say that our herd derives a majority of its nutrition from grass. We try very hard here at the Casey Family Farm to keep our farming operation as “natural and old-fashioned” as possible. We like to say that our motto is" where old-fashioned milk is still in fashion!"

This message is from Linda Reed:
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is running a special for the next two weeks: BOGO on Hardy Species Begonia. I have added this special to the market as a separate item under live plants.

I would also like to open pre-orders on Christmas decorations.
Kissing Balls on hangers – about 13-15" diameter – retail $35, pre-sale 10% discount = $31.50
Christmas Basket Centerpiece – about 10" in diameter – retail $20, pre-sale 10% discount = $18
Wreaths – on 16" base, measuring around 22-24" diameter – retail $27, pre-sale 10% discount = $24

These Christmas decorations are all handmade by me, from all natural materials gathered from my property or the local Christmas tree farm, except for the bright red berries and ribbons. All will be in limited quantities, but pre-sale orders will be guaranteed.

From Andra Martens:
This week, Sow’s Ear Piggery offers two different Pork Sampler Packages: “A” Package features a small rib rack, and “B” package features a tenderloin. Each package also includes one pound of breakfast sausage and one pound of ground pork. Regular products – cutlets (for chicken fried pork steak); stew meat (great for cooler fall nights); and thick cut pork chops – are available as usual. As always, our pork is non-GMO/antibiotics/animal-by-product/soy/corn raised.
