Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!





Good morning!

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

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


From Lynn at Dayspring Farm:
Because of a freezer failure, Dayspring Farm has had to remove our grass fed lamb from the market. We regret any disappointment that this causes our customers but we are committed to the provision of quality meat. Our delicious mutton is still available.


Linda from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this note:
Planting season continues in full swing, and the sequence of perennial blooms is in mid-season now. It’s important to keep sequence of bloom in mind so that your garden will always have some color. In bloom at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse this week are: Foamflower, variegated Jacob’s ladder, the late woodland phlox which is blue with a dark eye, all the gauras, white cranesbill, beardtongue, tradescantia, white salvia, and valerian. Continuing unabashed are: all the carnations (and oh how heavenly the fragrance!), dianthus, and dwarf coreopsis. Currently carrying large buds and ready to bloom in a few days are: all the colors of astilbes, the early coral bells, the foxgloves, the very early orange reblooming daylilies, and the white yarrows. The herbs are filling out too, with lemon balm, rosemary, and the mints leading the pack. Your garden needs some of these riotous colors and fantastic fragrances! Check out the pictures on the market, and clean off your trowels and work gloves. It’s time to plant!




(Clockwise from top left) Foam Flower, Variegated Jacob’s Ladder, Valerian, and Medium Pink Gaura.




Welcome back to Deb at Knottynuffacres. Her products are once again available on the market:






From Andra at Sow’s Ear Piggery:
Sow’s Ear Piggery pork sales will be in sleep mode this week due to work travel. Please check back next week for chops, ribs, ground pork, sausage, and shoulder. Our pork comes from pastured pigs supplemented with non-GMO feed and fresh produce. No antibiotics, steroids, hormones. The old saying “you are what you eat” starts at ground level, literally, with the food consumed by your food. Eat the best!





Don’t forget to order your Asparagus and Edible Pod Peas from Frontier Family Farm in Altamont. Look for more spring vegetables very soon!

Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!





Good morning!

I (Linda) am very sorry to have had to miss last week’s market. I tripped over a cat on the stairs and took a nasty fall onto my hip and shoulder, but I’m hoping to be healed and back at market on Thursday. I appreciate your kind thoughts and prayers. And I appreciate Michael carrying on in my absence. And all this after threatening winds postponed the market on Thursday! What a week!

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

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


From Amy at Solace Farm:
We have added several new items this week. With alpaca shearing this next week, I’ve been motivated to process some of last year’s fleece before I get more, so there are wool dryer balls in the household cleaners section, with the laundry soap (now in a new Sunflower fragrance). I’ve also listed raw alpaca fleece for any crafters or handspinners out there, or anyone with friends or family who are – alpaca is amazing to both spin and wear. I’ve also added a listing for custom-made felted stuffed animals – alpacas, lambs and chickens made from our alpaca wool. These are great for kids, of course – I especially sell white lambs as unique, lasting baby gifts.

I’ve added dishwasher powder, in both unscented and a eucalyptus-lime fragrance. Lastly, I’ve listed some classic lard soap, at a great price! This is a really nice soap, made mostly from local ingredients, so I’m able to keep my costs very low to to give the customer a quality, affordable, everyday soap. If you’re interested in the story behind this soap stop by my blog at www.SolaceFarmHomestead.com and read all about it.



From the website http://caseyfamilyfarm.com/:
Fresh, Pasteurized Cream Line Milk

The Casey Family Farm is run by Dennis and Lois Casey of Viola, Tennessee. We have lived in the Viola valley for the past 21 years. Our five children were fortunate enough to grow up in the foothills of Warren county, and now there is another generation growing up in these same foothills.

Dennis Casey has worked with beef and dairy cattle for the past 35 years. Our dream has been to have a small dairy like our grandparents had years ago. We want to produce high quality, rich milk that is as close to “from the cow” freshness as possible.

We have had Holstein, Jersey, and Guernsey cows throughout the years. Why not milk Holsteins like everybody else? We decided that our priority would be quality rather than quantity. Guernseys are very difficult to find, but they produce a unique, rich yellow milk that is high in beta carotene and butterfat. We started out with a Jersey herd, but obtained some registered Guernseys from farm sales. We were fortunate enough to have a Guernsey herd bull so that we could start to breed our own. Jerseys are hardy animals with an excellent butterfat. Our desire was to develop a hardier Guernsey herd that would produce rich milk. We have a small herd and we want to keep it that way. Each cow has access to pasture and/or hay year round, as well as grain and receives lots of individual attention. We believe that gives our milk a special, fresh taste that is very unique and different from what you will get in the store.



Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some more new additions this week:

Balloon flower and Beard-tongue. Please check the market for other additions.

Farm News of the Week

From Andra of Sow’s Ear Piggery:
Last chance to plan your Easter dinner centerpiece of a Whole, Fresh Ham from a heritage, pasture pig. Do not be intimidated by the idea of prepping an uncured ham. A simple brine recipe does all the work. We provide the brine ingredients with the purchase of the ham. Just add water. Place the fresh ham in a clean plastic tub and cover with the brine for 10 days in the fridge. Then simply bake in the oven or smoke outdoors (or a combo of both). You will impress your family and guests with this delicious, simple recipe. Taste the difference of free-range pork never fed medicated feed.
Andra also has a few 5 week old feeder pigs, available March 31.

Frontier Family Farms has added some spring vegetables to their lineup. Available now, in addition to his regular lettuces and spinach, are: Arugula, Broccoli, and Red and White Radishes. Look for more spring vegetables soon!




This is the last week for the March Special from Weaver Farms: 5 pounds of Angus ground beef for $25. Pasture and grain fed. No hormones, antibiotics or MSG. No water added. USDA inspected.







Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse writes:
Spring is really, truly, finally here! The early spring bloomers are very happy in the greenhouse at Dogwood Valley, but would be even happier in your garden. Now is a great time to plant perennials, even if they are types that will bloom later in the season. The stock is great right now, although plants just coming out of hibernation are on the small side. I don’t have more than a dozen of many of them, fewer of some, so get yours now while the selection is good! Some of the nicest bloomers this week are: catchfly, carnations, coreopsis, Euphorbia, Lenten rose (just 1 available!), Phlox stolonifera, pincushion flower, and Vinca minor. The houseplants, hanging baskets, Rex begonias, and Aloe vera, are also very healthy and anxious to join your family. And the herb plants, starting their spring growth now, will be large enough to clip within a few short weeks.

(Clockwise from top left): Pincushion Flower, Vinca minor, Catmint, and Purple Columbine.

Farm News of the Week

From Amy Rae of Solace Farm:
We have restocked our Scottish Highland grassfed beef, and have added both a few new cuts like NY Strip and Filet Mignon, and more of the classics such as stew meat (first to sell out), ground, and chuck roasts.

I have also added a loose tea blend – made from our own fig leaves and wildcrafted sumac berries, it is a caffeine-free stand-in for a lemon green tea. I love this with just a touch of honey!

We have a new item in the soap line-up – laundry soap! I’ve been using this myself for years now, and decided to make it available here as well. It is made from my own soap, with just a few additional ingredients, and we love how simple it is! I’ve also listed a lavender pumice scrub for the kitchen and bathroom, again with my own soap, and pumice powder. If you like the Mrs. Meyers surface scrub (like I do) this is for you!

(Clockwise from top left): Loose Tea, Laundry Soap, Pumice Scrub, Whipped Body Butter.



From Elaine at Weaver Farms:

We are running a special for the month of March: 5 pounds of Angus ground beef for $25. Pasture and grain fed. No hormones, antibiotics or MSG. No water added. USDA inspected.







Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse writes:
This crazy weather has finished off the daffodils, sadly, but that just means that the greenhouses at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are coming alive, with the early spring things beginning to bloom. Your garden will delight in the addition of some color to welcome spring very early each year. And can the herbs be far behind? We also have some really nice hanging baskets available, which will need to stay indoors till end of April. Watch the “Live Plants” category, as new plants will be made available each week. Since these are listings from previous years being made available again for this season, they will not show up in “What’s New” at the top of the page.

(L-R) Dwarf Coreopsis, Phlox stolonifera.

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.
