Pork Sampler from Sow's Ear Piggery




Ordering will be open till Tuesday evening at 10 pm. Please share this newsletter with a friend and invite them to place an order!


Throughout the late fall and winter months, we won’t find a lot of new items on the market. Most of them right now are seasonal offerings: holiday turkey from Wayne Diller, wreaths and kissing balls from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

We do, however, have a lot of items that would make great stocking stuffers or gifts. And we will be glad to put together for you a smaller gift basket. Gift certificates also available. Just let us know what we can do for you!

Sow’s Ear Piggery has added a scrumptious sampler of three of her most popular cuts of pork. And as of this writing, we are working on finding a few good recipes to go with this offering.

Merriwether Bakes has some new baked goods on the market this week.

News From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse




Ordering will be open till Tuesday evening at 10 pm. Please share this newsletter with a friend and invite them to place an order!

From Linda at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

I like to sell perennials in bloom in spring and summer for instant color in your garden, but fall really is the very best time to plant container-grown perennials, shrubs, or trees. Their root systems suffer very little transplant shock, compared to field-grown plant materials. Planting in September or October allows their root system to keep growing all winter in our climate. Maintenance, especially watering, is much easier, with cooler temperatures in fall, and they will have better drought resistance next spring and summer. For this reason, I have made some of my more popular perennials available now, even though they aren’t in bloom in this season. These include the astilbes, dwarf crested iris, woodland phloxes, candytuft, dwarf coreopsis, and shasta daisy this week, with a few more to come. My late season bloomers will bring fall color to your garden, including the fall reblooming azaleas, beautiful tall gauras, very unusual toadlily, and taller sedum. I have a huge selection of ferns and hostas ready to plant now in your shade garden, and you can get your whole herb garden planted this fall from my collection. Order soon, as some of these plants are in short supply at this time of year. I have a few nice young hanging baskets which will do a good job of replacing your tired old spring baskets to brighten the house this winter. Lastly, my beautiful Christmas decorations will soon be available for pre-order, including a new smaller size of natural decorated wreath. October orders will be the first ones filled in early December.

Merriwether Bakes, Arrows and Shoots, and Triple T Cattle Farms are all on vacation this week, planning to return next week.
