Backyard Tailz:
This is the last week to get a wild bird seed bunny ornament! They make the perfect eco-friendly gift for your little one’s basket. Comes pre-strung with twine for immediate hanging.

We also have a few clearance Winter Delight wild bird treats available. This is a great chance to experience the difference that fresh seed makes at a lower price.

Calico Farms:
Easter is only one week away! Do you have all your baking essentials ready to go? If not, or you’re running low, be sure to get our ever-popular homemade vanilla extract and organic vanilla sugar. Both are made with organic Madagascar vanilla beans and will add special, rich flavor to all your baked goods. They also make perfect, unique hostess gifts.

Perfect for Easter, our sprinkle sugar cookies are dye-free & delicious. They have all the fun, Spring pastel colors without the icky, artificial food coloring. Treat yourself to a 6-pack (or two!) today. They are super soft, organic & dairy-free too!

Attention gluten-free fans!!! New this week, try our chocolate crinkle cookies. They check all the healthy boxes – gluten free, dairy free, & organic – and you’ll miss absolutely none of it because these cookies are incredibly rich in chocolatey flavor thanks to lots of raw cacao powder and are made with unrefined coconut oil for a heart-healthy, moist cookie that everyone loves – yes, even the non-gluten-free people! Add a 6-pack to your cart – you won’t be sorry.

Allergy season already starting to get to you? Pick up a 2-pack of our sinus steamers to add to your shower & enjoy the decongestion you need, naturally, thanks to peppermint, eucalyptus oils & menthol crystals. These are a customer favorite for good reasons!

Finally, we will be off-market for basically the next month so be sure to get everything you need now as our first market back won’t be until April 24th.

Safe and Sound Soap Co.:
This week I am featuring my small batch bar soap. It’s all natural made with nurturing ingredients for your skin, like olive oil and coconut oil, sweet almond oil, oats, and honey from my family’s bee farm. You will LOVE our Honey and Oat soap. It will soften up your skin after one use! Also if you haven’t tried our laundry soap yet, you need to grab some this week. It comes in a 64 oz container that washes 32 loads, as well as a 128 oz container that will wash 64 loads. Both sizes have a handle on the container for easy pouring. My laundry soap comes in Lemon Eucalyptus, Lavender, Orange Bergamot, Citrus, and Lemon Lavender Mint. Each of these are scented with a special blend of high quality essential oils that will not only freshen your clothing with a light scent, but also has cleaning properties to help disinfect your clothing! Don’t forget I also sell my own bottled hand sanitizer spray and non-toxic car air fresheners. These items make excellent gifts for Easter baskets, Mother’s Day, or Birthdays!

NashPhilly:
Few new items this week.- Chicken, prosciutto pesto lasagnas for spring. We are taking the journey of exploring different and special lasagnas this spring and summer season. Delicious pesto sauce with spinach, sun dried tomatoes and of course lots of Italian herbs and cheeses.

Bruschetta. It’s tomato time and we have been wanting to do this for a while now. Tomatoes marinated in extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh basil and of course raw garlic. A great snack with some crackers, toast points, or you can even put it in a bed of salad greens.

Roasted Garlic and cauliflower soup. We roast the cauliflower with garlic, shallots, and thyme in the oven for one hour before blending it with vegetable stock. And finish it with truffle oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice. It’s a gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian. And it’s a home run of a soup.

Kumaika Coffee:
If you have not woke up with our Coffee, you are missing out! We hace Dark, Medium and Light Roasted Beans. We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler.

Tailwynds Farm:
Several cuts of Beef on Sale and other assorted cuts of beef available, Coconut Pie, Oreo Cookie Pie and Strawberry Pie.

We are excited to be adding a few more new items. Some seasoning mixes as well as a new powder to our line up. When weather permiting, we plan to be on the porch Wednesday during pickup so you can view and purchase from our inventory.

Pinky’s Micros:
This is our WINTER microgren blend! Every season we create new blends to represent the time of year. OUR WINTER blend has ’YELLOW BEETS, RED PAC CHOI, IGLOO CAULIFLOWER and CURLY WATERCRESS.
What better way to start the New Year than with highly nutritional greens called Mirogreens? They pack 40 to 100% more vital nutrients than the adult verion. We grow organically with NON-GMO seeds and nutrient-dense soil. We look forward to providing the best for you in 2024.

The farm stand is open today (Saturday March 23,2024) from noon till 5 pm. Even though it is winter outside the farmstand still has carrots, beets, onions, bulk foods, and much more. We still have about 3,000 lbs of potatoes (red, white, yellow) left in storage. There are also spring dug parsnips available and a few apples.
Next weekend we will be open on Friday, March 29th from noon till 5 pm and closed on Saturday march 30th for Easter weekend. This change is only for that one week. During April we will be open on the normal Saturday schedule with summer hours resuming in early May whenever asparagus harvest starts. Enjoy this last bit of winter. However I am even more ready to enjoy spring when it comes. I like to plant things and smell the warming earth of springtime. Daniel

This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
