ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Is Open!

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!

Our Market is open this week and ready for your orders. What better way to come back into town then with a order of fresh, healthy groceries already packaged and waiting to be picked up? We hope that everyone has safe travels this week and a great time with their families and loved ones.

We’re looking for volunteers! You can earn credit and membership for your account by signing up to volunteer with us this weekend.

Follow us on Facebook for more offers and events, or visit our website to learn more about our organization.

The Wednesday Market:  The Market is Open; Last Chance to Order is Tonight!

Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders AGAIN after being temporarily down this morning. The problem was with the servers that handle the extensive locallygrown.net network. I contacted our software engineer in Athens this morning, who reset the servers. All appears to be well now!

Remember that this week, we are moving our ordering and delivery pattern backwards by one day. The Market will close at 10 p.m. TONIGHT, so please get your orders in as soon as possible! We don’t want you to miss out anything.

Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

And, finally, remember that pick up this week is on TUESDAY between 3 and 6 p.m.

We hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday, and we’ll see you TUESDAY.

Thanks,

Beverly

Farrar Farm is away this week.

Erdmann Farm added a DELICIOUS (yes I have tried it!!) pumpkin pie. Made with his farm grown pumpkins and a hand made crust with perfect spices round out this artisan pie! Don’t find yourself without this offering for your Thanksgiving table or just to eat with friends for the weekend! I found it perfect for a snack, with coffee or for breakfast even!!

Stephanie at The Krafty Kupboard has plenty of fall foods to accompany your Thanksgiving festivities: pumpkin butter, apple butter, apple jelly, cornbread(GLUTEN-FREE option), biscuits (GLUTEN-FREE option), hummus trail mix, granola and more!

Botanical Harmony Farm has LOTS of duck eggs which are absolutely perfect for baking and are they ever WOW for deviled eggs. The yolks are so creamy!

They also have plenty of soaps and skincare for hostess gifts! Who doesn’t love a practical and organic gift?

All your holiday needs can be found right here on Stones River Market:

Eggs, milk, butter, meats, baked goods, skin care and SO MUCH MORE!!

Start thinking about those Locally Grown/Made Christmas gifts! Jams, Pickles, Market Gift Certificates, Soaps, Packaged foods, breads and more make the BEST and so very appreciated hostess and holiday gifts! Useful, practical and incredible!

See ya on the porch!!

Dear Friends,
We wish you a very happy Thanksgiving day. We hope you have family coming or you going to family or friends. Our wild turkeys are glad that we are a wildlife sanctuary! So are the deer and the raccoons and the opossums. Everyone will have a nice meal here. We are happy to share. Please have a look at what we have and place your orders. If you have a special request that we could grow for you, please say so.

Thank you for being our customers and our friends.

GROWER NOTES

BAIN HOME GARDENS: Market Friends,
How are you all? We sure hope this cool weather finds you warm and snuggly this beautiful evening.

Our okra plants WILL NOT DIE! We have been keeping a select few pods on the stalk to save seeds for next year but even the smaller plants just refuse to give up! This would not be issue if we were not cramped for space. So today they were pulled up with an assist by Mr. Duke. Here at Bain Home Gardens everyone earns their keep. Working together to bring home grown goodness from our family to yours!

HAWKINS HOMESTEAD: Well guys, it’s happened. Fall is definitely upon us! The temperature is all over the place and it has definitely gotten cold at night. So cold in fact, that we turned our heat on at night for the first time last week. Of course with the weather changing, we want to make sure that everyone is taken care of so we’ve been checking to make sure our birds are snug outside in the big coop. We gave it a good scrubbing this past weekend and put some extra bedding in there to make sure everyone is nice and warm.

With the addition of cool weather and shorter days, the hens have gone on hiatus. Sad, but true. I will speak to you guys more about this in the next few weeks.

Thank you to everyone who tried out our basil pesto! We hope you enjoyed it. That was the last of our beautiful basil. For now we are concentrating on cool season vegetables, turning over beds, and saving seeds for next year.

HORTONS FARM: Some of you may know that we have been undergoing barn renovations in an effort to streamline the various things we do up here in beautiful Echo, AL. Today the Mr. and I mapped out a plan to include a combination kitchen/storage she-shed space for Ros. This means all the honey extraction, containers, pouring, storage, making candles, soaps, lip balms, creating new products, etc, etc, etc, can be moved OUT OF THE HOUSE. Hallelujah!

MARY’S PEEPS: I am so sorry for all the cancelled orders and not being there for all my customers in the past couple months, as I care for each and every one of you. It has been some bad times for me health wise. I have had some serious and difficult procedures, and only time will staighten them out. I keep hoping for thngs to go back to normal,  and God willing they will. Your prayers  are always welcome and appreciated. Thank you all and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. Maybe 2018 will bring health and hope for a new year.  Mary Dale Peeples. (editor’s note: Please keep this dear lady in your prayers for health and healing!)

Richter Farms: Wishing all our wonderful customers-friends a Very Happy Thanksgiving! May you have a blessed time with family and friends! Love and hugs, Viki Richter
