NEWS AND NOTES

Honey is back on the market! Steve’s Bees has listed four sizes of local honey for your eating or baking. Using local honey really helps with allergies, and there are plenty of allergies in Tennessee.



As we move into August, the variety of vegetables on the market is still awesome. We have: bush beans, beets, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, arugula, kohlrabi, lettuce, onions; bell, jalapeno, and banana peppers; red potatoes, yellow squash, Swiss chard, several types of tomatoes, and zucchini.



Also you will find a great selection of fresh-cut herbs to help to bring out the flavor of those vegetables and your other summer cooking.



This week we feature a couple of items from other sections of the market as well. Remember that we also have delicious pork and beef cuts, rich creamline milk, organic free-range chicken and duck eggs, jams and jellies, live plants for your perennial border, porch, or patio. Please take note of our great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, and bath & beauty products. Stop by Square Books soon and see our market table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some jam or jelly, hand lotion or soap, herbal tea, a candle, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy or to give as a gift.


(L to R) One of several Lotion Bars and Dried CNG Strawberries from Solace Farm, Toad Lily and Rex Begonia Plants from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Local Honey from Steve’s Bees.
