This week we welcome “Fungalicious” to our market. This small exotic oyster mushroom farm in Tullahoma grows several varieties of oyster mushrooms. Although not a certified organic farm, everything is naturally grown. These mushrooms have a delicious mushroom flavor with a great texture.
Found under “Growers”.
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
How about experimenting with some fresh herbs to add flavor to your Independence Day celebration meal this year? We have plenty of plants available, and also limited quantities of several fresh-cut herbs. We’ve restocked a few more perennial plants as well. Lavender, rosemary, several mints, three thymes, and some oreganos will all contribute to your feast.
Rosemary plant and Variegated Oregano fresh-cut.
Both items listed under “Growers”.

From CS3 Farms:
Try our Rutabaga, Holy Basil (Tulsi), and Borage.
As a cross between turnips and cabbage, rutabagas have a sweeter, buttery and sweet-savory flavor. The roots, which are high in fiber but low in calories, can be eaten raw or cooked, they can be mashed, roasted, sautéed, fried, added to soups, and even eaten raw in salads or coleslaw.
Holy Basil (Tulsi) has floral and peppery notes with a spiced, lemony aroma and flavor. It is taken to ensure vibrant health and longevity. Tulsi is an adaptogenic, digestive, expectorant, and antioxidant.
Borage has many health-promoting properties, and has been used to decrease inflammation, improve skin health, and decrease symptoms of asthma. The leaf has a cucumber-like taste, and is often used in salads or as a garnish. The flower has a sweet honey-like taste and is often used to decorate desserts and cocktails, most commonly, frozen in ice cubes.
All items found under “Growers.”
