Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

will be open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.




All the traditional booth markets, markets that set up in a specific location for a few hours each week, will be ending their season shortly. But not our market! Most of our farmers have products available year round – from meats to dairy to vegetables to hand-made items. You will be able to purchase fresh local foods and decorations for all the upcoming holidays – right here! And more than likely you know someone who would also appreciate this bounty – but doesn’t as yet know about our market! Please share with your friends about this great local resource. It’s proven that word of mouth, recommendations from friends, is the most effective way to encourage people to try a new business or a different product. Our goal is ten new consistent customers by the end of the year. Please help us reach our goal! Postcards will be available at pickup for you to hand out. Just ask!




Country Road Homestead is on vacation for the next few weeks, till their fall vegetables are ready for harvest.

New Muffin; Fall Is Planting Time!


Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

will be open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.



Fit Focus Baked Goods has added a muffin to our lineup of deliciousness.

Pumpkin Protein Muffins


Dogwood Valley Greenhouse still has lots of green and growing things! Trouble is, not too many of them are in bloom this time of year, and I feel rather badly about the lack of color. However, with the cooler fall-ish weather (which hopefully may stay around), it is a really good time to plant perennials. September planting gives perennials and shrubs an opportunity to establish a good strong root system before the ground takes on a winter chill. This in turn will allow them to initiate healthy top growth in early spring, followed by plentiful blooms. This week I’ve added several spring bloomers to the market (astilbes and columbines for shade, coreopsis and creeping phlox for sun), joining a few late bloomers with flowers now (begonias, gauras, sedum, turtlehead). Don’t forget our fresh-cut herbs, or if you prefer to grow your own, our herb plants. Some of the latter are a bit overgrown, but that just gives you more fresh herbs to preserve for winter use.


(Top, L to R) Astilbe Silver Pink, Creeping Phlox Raspberry Pink, Hardy Species Begonia.
(Bottom, L to R) Fresh-Cut Lime Mint, Pink Sedum, Silver-edged Thyme.
