News Highlights
Carrell Farms - Now on the market every other week! Shalley and David have decided to deliver every other week instead of monthly. Order their pasture raised Alpaca and Water Buffalo on the market this weekend and it will be delivered this Tuesday. Pastured Lamb is almost ready and we'll have that again very soon.
Cultured Traditions - BIG SALE!
- Simply Caraway Sauerkraut - $6 (usually $10). This batch of sauerkraut has turned out a little differently - It is very good but it is a little more sour and has a softer texture. When it was fermenting it was sitting too close to another ferment and that influenced the entire batch. As you know we work with lots of bacteria and yeasts and the ratio of those is different for every ferment. Sometimes that ratio gets out of balance by a close proximity of another community and as a result the finished product turns out to be different. I personally love this batch a lot, it is so flavorful and pungent!
- Kimchi - $6 (usually $10). This is the kimchi that was made with last fall crop of Napa cabbage, it is absolutely wonderful, we just need more room for our new inventory. Get it while it lasts!!
B&B (Bradbury Raw Honey) Bob and Bev will be on vacation from 8/23 to 9/5. Their honey is listed this week for our upcoming Tuesday pick up so order this weekend if you need some.
AtlantaFresh Creamery - New! Whole Milk Yogurt flavors now available in 6oz cups. Chocolate Malt, Pina Colada, and their first savory flavor- Avocado Chile Lime (sounds perfect on a taco! ) Chocolate Milk will be back on the market next week.
Leilani's Farm will be offering squash, green beans, eggplant, peppers, and zucchini. Tomatoes will be back on as soon as they are ready. So keep an eye out for those. We;re getting close to the end of summer veggies. Feel free to freeze this year's harvest so you'll have plenty of veggies for soups and stews in the winter. This is a transitional time period for many of our produce farmers so look for more items to show up on the market as they become available. I'm personally looking forward to some fall crops! and weather :-)
My Daily Bread is back on the market this week! They'll be offering their freshly baked breads, baked goods, jams, jellies and more! Also, if you have special requests such Challah bread please feel free to email Dabrielle at msbunny1414@gmail.com and she will try to work it in her baking schedule. Some breads like challah are made in batches of 2 loaves so they need at least 2 orders and that's why it's not always listed on the market.
Fry Farm will be taking a 2 week break while they are waiting for some crops to come in. There just isn't enough growing right now to offer their produce boxes.
Dancing Hearts Homestead will be offering bouquets and a new crop of lemon lime sunflowers this week. Seeing their flowers' vibrant colors just makes me happy despite the gloomy weather we've had lately. Order some this week to brighten up your home!
Back In Time Farm - Ruth & Bill will be on a well deserved vacation August 13 through August 19.
