CLG: Opening Bell: Apples, Pumpkins, Peppers, Bacon!
Good afternoon!
Tomorrow is October already! Or finally. Check out this wonderful chile pepper from Cedar Rock Ridge: the Fresno Chile! Great for dehydrating, smoking, eating fresh, in stir-fry, or stuffed with sausage or cream cheese. Very versatile. Enjoy like Jalapenos, which we have plenty of too. We should have Peppers until frost, and some root crops are coming in now.
Several new Members asked why we collect egg shells at every market. Hens need a steady supply of calcium to produce eggs. If they don’t get enough in their diet, the calcium comes from their bones! To prevent that, we crush the eggshells and give them back to the hens to be recycled into beautiful new eggshells! Aren’t chickens awesome!
Tammy Sue won’t be able to list her Soaps and Lotions until November since she will be traveling for shows the whole month. We will still have a small inventory of her items on the Extras table. Rockwood Crafts has the Lotion and Sanitizer sets on sale for only $2.75. Great to carry in your car or purse/manbag.
Check out the Sweet Potatoes now being harvested for you from Drewry Orchard. Buy in bulk or 3 pound bag.
Brighten someone’s day (or week) and order a beautiful fresh cut bouquet from Bell Urban Farm. They last a long time and look amazing!
Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 575 items available now!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

Grower Notes
IN SEASON
YUM! Last week Virginia Schafer shared a great recipe for fresh Basil Pesto with us. If you tried it you should know that pesto freezes well and can be enjoyed all winter long. Now is the time to harvest and prepare it before we get a cool snap and have to say goodbye to our plants.
This week we’re sharing a few creative ideas. Hope you enjoy and please let us know how the ones you try turn out!
recipe is worth having to scroll down the page a bit.

BAIN HOME GARDENS: Hey there Marketeers!
What an exciting week it has been! Why? RAIN & THUNDERSTORMS! I’m not crazy, I assure you. However, all of the new plantings have benefited tremendously from the weather this week. Seeds that have been laying dormant have decided to sprout! I love the circle of life! In addition, our peppers, snap beans, and okra are growing beautifully!
So yes, I’m loving these little showers though admittedly it makes it hard to get projects completed.
Did you know we grow to order? What that means is if you have a need for something we will do our best to grow it for you. Likely if it’s something you want, then others are also looking for it. Just let us know. This is how we came to grow Soybeans, which are nearly done for the season. If you haven’t gotten a chance to try them this maybe your last opportunity for a while. They will be available for table sales this upcoming Friday – from our family to yours!
HAWKINS HOMESTEAD: Hello Market Friends. Thank you to everyone who took a few of these stewing hens off our hands last week. We appreciate it and you!
New this week we invite you to try our bruschetta. Made fresh with our organic basil and tomatoes grown on our farm, plus a few other ingredients (we can’t tell you everything). It goes great with some crusty bread also called a baguette…LOL! I just like saying crusty bread. Also our organic 5 part salad sprouts are back and we’re keeping the organic mung beans up this week as well.
Our lettuce is growing well. We don’t have enough to put on the Market yet but we have a good start. We will let you know when it’s ready. Until next week…..
HORTONS FARM: We are off Market this week for yes, another trip. As far as we know this will be the last for a while. For many years Ros made an annual pilgrimage to the mountains of Tennessee and this trip back is long overdue. Our products will be listed next week on October 6 and we’re seriously looking forward to our Fall Farmer’s Market starting October 13!
