Market News
Hello!
Happy Mother’s Day to all! For some it’s a day of celebration, for others a day of remembering. Hopefully the day had some precious moments for you and your family.
The strawberries are in this week and we have a good amount. Despite previous concerns, John’s berries seem to be on a good productive track and we should have a nice crop for a few weeks to come! Please remember these strawberries are not only local, but are always organically grown and therefore a healthy treat for you and your loved ones.
It is the lettuce time of year! We have a great supply this week, and the recipe included is for a strawberry salad dressing, which is a wonderfully different way to use berries with the tender greens we are offering! Along with some good blue or goat cheese from The Bloomy Rind – oh boy are you good to go!
Also Dozen Bakery has her shortcakes available and they are the perfect accompaniment for the strawberries.
In the world of cool news, it was just announced that our very own Wedge Oak Farm will be hosting the Nashville stop of the Outstanding in the Field dinners in October. Their farm will be the venue along with Josh Harbinger from the restaurant Pinewood Social as chef. You can go to the Outstanding in the Field website, http://www.outstandinginthefield.com/event/wedge-oak-farm/ to get tickets!
If you have pre-paid for the Bouquet of the Week, please notice you have your own item to select on the Market page under flowers. You will not be charged when you do this – it will just help Tally to keep track. This is for pre-paid bouquets only. If you have not pre-paid but would like a bouquet, please select the large weekly bouquet for $14.00. Please let Tally know if you have any questions.
We are running low on bags! We have ordered more, but would appreciate any returned that you may have hiding in a closet or trunk!
Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
