Today's Market Postponed


Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

has been postponed till Thursday January 25.

Hello to all our loyal customers,

Roads are not good in Coffee County, terrible up on the mountain from which come nearly half our market items. Many parking lots in Manchester have not been cleared, although I have not been to town to see about ours specifically. The forecast is for freezing rain tonight and early tomorrow. I don’t want to ask anyone, farmer or customer, to take any chances in coming to market. Therefore today’s market pickup will be postponed to next Thursday the 25th.

We will leave all current orders in the carts, unless specific items are cancelled. You will be able to place additional orders when the market opens on Sunday as usual. Please let me know via email or text if you would like to remove any of the items currently in your order. See you next Thursday, normal time and place. Your farmers and makers are all very sorry for the inconvenience. Please stay safe in this weather!

Andra from Sow’s Ear Piggery writes:
Sow’s Ear Piggery just picked up a new pork order from the butcher. This pork was finished on acorns, and the samples we’ve tried have a rich flavor and light marbling in the cuts. Restocking this week: ground pork, breakfast sausage, and chops. More to come soon, including pork roasts for Christmas and New Years.

(L to R) Breakfast sausage, Bratwurst, and Kielbasa.


Sharmyn from CS3 Farms writes:

We want to thank everyone for your support through this year. We continue to learn new things about living up in a ridge and how to grow the things we can. We added a Relaxing Herbal Tea blend in a nice tin that is perfect for a last minute gift for yourself or someone you love who needs to slow down and enjoy the moment.
May the peace and Joy of Christmas guide you into a beautiful time with those you love and sweet memories of those you miss.
God bless you all and see you in the New Year.

This week I have a limited number of the All in One Honeys. They are great for the medicine cabinet. Spicy sweet kick the bug out goodness. They would be great in a wellness care package with the cold care tea. Long shelf life and if you keep it in the fridge the cold feels extra soothing on a sore throat.
They are available in 1.5 oz and 4 oz sizes.

I also have some fresh made elderberry syrup. Not a fan of syrup I also have an elderberry extract. Either are great for helping to prevent catching those viruses or limiting the duration of them.

I have also added a new class to the listings.



Dogwood Creek Farm has added several cuts of chicken, duck, lamb, and turkey to the market.


(Row 1) Whole heritage rooster, whole duck, ground goat.
(Row 2) Lamb loin chops, whole Thanksgiving turkey, and wings.
