From Carter at CS3 Farms
We have fresh greens, herbal honey, and two flavors of hummus.
We have a few more heads of delicious red lettuce, some tatsoi (taste and consistency is somewhere between spinach and chard) and mustard greens. They aren’t ready yet, but we are also working on some micro greens.
We also have more of our tasty gourmet Apicius and Hot Thyme Red Wine Mustards. They give both meat and vegetables a light amount of heat backed by a delicious whole mouth taste.
Try our new toasted pine nut hummus or roasted red pepper hummus. They are delicious on breads, crackers, salads, or even soups (hummus is a great meat/protein alternative).
We also have herbal honey, tonics/shrubs, herbal teas, and traditional teas to brighten your day!
(Top, L to R) Tatsoi and Green Leaf Lettuce.
(Bottom, L to R) Fresh Lemon Balm and Chives.
All items found under “Growers”.

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
I have restocked some varieties of tomato plants, just a few of each. I was unable to get bell peppers, however. I’ve restocked most of the herbs, and there will be more in the near future. If you need a particular herb, let me know and I’ll try to find it.
The astilbes are beginning to bloom in shade and part shade; the daylilies in sun and part sun. Both come in an array of beautiful colors. The ferns are finally getting large enough to be added to your garden, and I’ve included several varieties on the market. They, along with the foam flower and hostas, will really brighten your shady areas. The green creeping sedum is now flowering, and its cheerful yellow star-shaped flowers will enhance more sunny areas.
(Top, L to R) Green Creeping Sedum and Cinnamon Fern.
(Bottom, L to R) Large Green Hosta and Lettuce Bowl.
All items listed under “Growers”.

We have fresh greens, gourmet mustard, and two flavors of hummus.
We have a few heads of delicious red lettuce! Our mustard greens are pushing through the spring weather craziness if you’d like a little bite in your greens. Our miner’s lettuce will be used in limited supply in our forage greens, which can not only be eaten as lettuce but can also be cooked like spinach.
We have more of our best/selling Apicius Mustard. It’s an ancient Roman hummus recipe with pine nuts and almonds. We also have some more of our Hot Thyme Red Wine Mustard.
Try our new toasted pine nut hummus or roasted red pepper hummus. They are delicious on breads, crackers, salads, or even soups (hummus is a great meat/protein alternative).
We also have herbal honey, tonics/shrubs, herbal teas, and traditional teas to brighten your day!
(Top, L to R) Red lettuce & Mustard greens, both under Growers.
(Bottom, L to R) Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, under Culinary Artists; Lavender-infused Honey, under Herdsmen.
Beautiful USDA, Non-GMO thin-sliced pork chops from Sow’s Ear Piggary.

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has tomato and pepper plants to replace the ones you lost this past weekend in the unexpected freeze. Since I don’t have a huge stock, if I run out or don’t have the variety you want, please message me your additional requests, and I will try to fill them. But please plan not to plant till the end of May. The weather has been unpredictable this year, with a long, cool spring (my daffodils lasted 2 weeks longer than usual!) which has kept the soil unusually cool. Tomatoes and peppers like nice warm feet for best growth, and will not really do much till mid-June anyway.
I also have a good variety of herb plants available, but with the same comments as above. I don’t have many of any one, but will be glad to try to restock what you’re looking for. Just drop me a note. I’m unlikely to have many more Fresh cut herbs for a while, since the plants are selling very well.
I also have some new perennials coming into bloom, notably the very early daylilies for sun and the astilbes for the shade garden. Surely you can find a spot for a couple of these beauties!
The Lettuce Bowls are beautiful this week! With only two available, you should grab yours now!

We have fresh greens, gourmet mustard, and a new hummus.
We have more foraged greens and miners’ lettuce. Both are a nutrient-dense (filling) lettuce or spinach alternative/supplement, so they can be used for breakfast (smoothies/eggs), lunch (salads), and dinner (as a salad or side vegetable). We also have just a few bunches of mustard greens to add a kick to anything you eat (fresh or cooked). Our lettuce is in time-out while it grows, with more coming along fast.
We (finally) have a fresh new batch of our best/selling Apicius Mustard. It’s an ancient Roman recipe with pine nuts and almonds. You needn’t speak Latin to love it, but if you do feel free to share!
And speaking of pine nuts, try our new (and delicious) toasted pine nut hummus. It’s best on anything you can imagine, like breads, crackers, salads, or even soups (it’s made with garbanzo beans so it is a great meat/protein alternative).
We also have herbal teas, traditional teas, and a few herbal honeys to brighten your day!
(Top, L to R) Toasted Pine Nut Hummus (under Culinary Artists), Oolong Tea (under Brewmasters)
(Bottom, L to R) Gourmet Mustards Apicius and Orange-Oregano (under Culinary Artists => Processed Foods)

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Strawberry hanging baskets are ready! They are a lot fuller than the early photo indicates, and they each have several early berries now ripe, for an immediate taste treat.
And a few of the larger tomato and pepper plants are ready! I will have more varieties of tomatoes in a couple weeks, as they were started pretty late and need a little more time to grow. But those who know me, know that I say wait till May 15 to plant vegetable plants, anyway, as the soil will be warmer and will hasten growth after planting.
Lettuce Bowls are back! Loaded with a variety of direct-seeded plants, they will make great-tasting cut-and-come-again salads for some time.
I still have a good selection of azalea bushes. Although they are no longer blooming, they will make a good green addition to your landscape, as you wait for next spring’s blooms.
The herbs are growing well, and from week to week I will have different Fresh Cuts and some live plants to sell. I listed a couple, but some are already sold out. I still have lots of Elderberry bushes, but when they are gone, they are gone for this year. Since it would be better for them to be transplanted before the summer heat arrives, you should plan to get yours soon.

We have chives, greens, hummus, and a question.
Check out our chives for a nutritious and delicious onion flavor for omelettes, salads, or dinner meals. Chives contain a lot of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
We have more forest greens and miners lettuce available. Our miner’s lettuce is good as a lettuce or spinach supplement or alternative, so it can be added to salad or can be used cooked or sautéed with your choice of eggs, vegetables, or meat.
We also have a fresh new batch of red pepper hummus available, and if you haven’t had it, you haven’t lived. Well, at least not to the fullest. :-)
And one last thing – are you using the markets website with a mobile device? We would love to know, and especially would love to know if you can share navigation tips or tricks for our farmers and other customers. We know that many people do a lot of business on the smart phone, and are trying to make sure it is as helpful as possible. We will share accumulated tips and tricks with those who are interested, so please send email to carter@cs3farms.com

Cookies & Muffins - OH MY!
Hello! And happy Tuesday!
This is just a quick note to encourage you to take a look at the market, or a second look if you already placed an order.
Michael has a limited quantity of cookies and muffins from his Altamont restaurant, first come, first served. And they are awesome, as some of you know from two weeks ago. Check them out, and look at our other expanding categories while you are on the site.
Pickup times and locations:
Manchester – pavilion on Fort St, 4:00-5:00
Tullahoma – parking lot in front of Nature’s Elite, 4:30-5:30 new hours courtesy of a new helper!
Please disregard any other messages you receive or any website notifications regarding pickup. These are the locations and hours until you receive a special notification otherwise.
We will continue to do normal open-air pickup in Manchester with minimal contact, and the Tullahoma pickup will look that same way, from our vehicle. We are also glad to do home delivery within Coffee Co. at no charge during this difficult time.
Thank you,
The Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market managers
