Farm News of the Week:

Several New Items

Carter Smith of CS3 Farms writes:

We are back from Florida, where it is hot and humid — just like home! We have another ”traditional” tea available. We are adding Oolong tea because it, like many herbs and other teas, has been demonstrated to have antioxidant properties. It also tastes quite good. We may have some sweet potato greens available, but not a whole lot. If you haven’t eaten sweet potato greens, they are a mild leaf that can be substituted for spinach or a thin lettuce leaf and eaten raw or cooked.

We have more turnips available as well as our herbal honeys, shrub (drinking vinegar) concentrates, nut butters, and other deliciousness.

(Top, L to R): Oolong Tea, Sweet Potato Greens.
(Bottom, L to R): Turnips, Habanero-Infused Honey.

Knottynuffacres has added fresh Thai and regular basil to the market.



Meet & Greet this Friday in Tullahoma

Come to “Nature’s Elite” on Friday between 4:00 and 5:00 to meet some of the local farmers who grow the fresh farm products sold on this market! A few of the farms which will be represented include:
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse
Frontier Family Farms
Knottynuffacres
and others as they confirm. Come on down to Nature’s Elite and see some of the goodies we’ll have for sale!



News from Sow’s Ear Piggery:

We will be updating pork listings in 2-3 weeks once a butcher date is set. We hope our customers will be patient for our new products, as this will probably be the best pork we’ve raised and offered for sale.



Weaver Farms has put all their products on “vacation mode” for a couple of weeks. They’ve been blessed with lots of sales of late, and need a little time to restock supplies. But their great grassfed beef and pasture raised pork will be back as soon as possible!

Cindy’s Suds items are also on “vacation mode” this week, and should return next week.

Featured Products of the Week:
Herbal Products from Solace Farm




Did you know that the herbal cosmetics from Solace Farm are available in “green” packaging? Not only are these products good for your body, and they smell great! – now they are also available in earth-friendly, non-plastic packaging.

Weaver Farms has put all their products on “vacation mode” for a couple of weeks. They’ve been blessed with lots of sales of late, and need a little time to restock supplies. But their great grassfed beef and pasture raised pork will be back as soon as possible!



Albert Lynn has added several vegetables since last I posted a real newsletter. Included:

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse sends this message:

Yes, it’s hot. Now is a great time to build up your houseplant collection, with aloe vera, many colorful African violets, and several types of Rex begonias available. I also have a couple of nice solid green hanging spider plants, a pretty Creeping Charlie basket, and just two hanging flame violets available. Any of these will look great on a porch or shady patio for the summer, but be sure you don’t let them have direct sunlight.

The market is open for ordering this morning, with delivery and pickup at their regularly scheduled times and locations. This means that pickup in Manchester will be on the actual holiday of Thursday, July 4. Pickup in Tullahoma will be on Friday, July 5. If pickup at these times is a problem for you, please let us know so we can plan to deliver to you. We don’t want anyone to have to miss their weekly fresh farm products, and will gladly work with your timing because of the holiday.

This week’s holiday may mean that one or more farmers may place their products in “vacation mode” this week. Please accept their apology for any inconveniences.

Please check all the categories; some of them do have new products.
