Warm Weather this week?!?!


We’ve been busy here at the farm! Thank you to those who use my culinary skills for catering to your family’s needs! I served four families this week, and still managed to get more work done in the garden and clearing for more vegetable beds to be created. The warm weather this coming week will keep me very busy outside. Yay, warmer weather!!
If you follow us on Facebook, you can see pictures as I go through the week and post our progress.
Thank you for your support! The market is now open for ordering throufh Wednesday evening and pick up is on Saturdays.
If there’s something you’d like to see in the market this year, just let me know – we’re here to serve you!
Have a great week.

Rainy Weeks


I hope you are all staying dry while we endure more cold and wet weather! I am working in the garden to prepare beds and get early spring planting done between the rains. I put a hundred onion starts in the ground and have carrots and peas up next to go in. Seed trays are looking lush under the grow lights. I’ve also loaded the incubator with chicken and duck eggs so we have lots going on behind the scenes!
Don’t forget to check out Clean Mountain Mama’s wonderful cleaning products. I’ve used the clothes detergent, softener, dryer ball spray, and detergent pods – they are all Farmher Chef Amy recommended!
Have a great week!

New vendor!


We welcome Clean Mountain Mama to the market! She produces hypoallergenic home cleaning products in recycled containers. The best part is you can choose from a list of wonderful scents to customize to your liking!
Place your orders by Wednesday evening for pickup Saturday.

Have a great week!

February!


Good Morning!
February is here and we are a little closer to spring. Any guesses on what the groundhog will say tomorrow?
This week we have Hungarian Mushroom and Turmeric Vegetable Soups, and Oatmeal Fig Bars that are new. Springwood Cashmere Farm added her lotions to the market lineup. They are all natural and you have your choice of scents.
Veggies are slow in the garden. We are letting the greens take a break for a couple weeks so they have a chance to grow in a bit more. Then I will harvest and turn those beds over with amendments to prepare for spring. The rest of the beds got a few loads of manure and will be ready for early sown spring veggies.
Remember to place your orders by Wednesday evening for Saturday pick up. Prior pickup may be arranged as well during winter months.
Thank you for shopping with us!

This Week at the Market


Happy Monday! We’ve decided to move ordering to start Monday through Wednesday evening. Look for your newsletters on Monday from now on.

Our seed order came in this week! So exciting! There will be lots of planning going on for the next month as well as soil preparations in the garden. We can assure you there will be plenty of good, fresh food on the way this spring and summer :)

We will be introducing someone new to the market soon. Our goal is to provide our community with great natural, sustainable local products. This new vendor will be a great addition to our market and offer natural cleaning products! Stay tuned!

We’ve added new soups, and baked items this week. Stay warm and healthy!

New Soups Added!


We had such a great response to the soups this week – it seems we are all still cleansing our bodies from the holidays and needing warm nutrition!
I’ve added 2 more detox soups to add variety. Get one of each to last you the week!

Happy New Year!


*Happy New Year! *
Hopefully 2021 will be a better year once it gets rolling. In the meantime, we’ve been placing seed orders and dreaming of the bountiful garden we’ll have for you this spring and summer!
While the stand is still closed for January, I will have a few items available on Saturdays for you to shop when you pick up orders in the morning (weather permitting). The chickens and ducks have been laying quite nicely so eggs are available in the stand coolers all week! You can message me directly and I can hold a dozen for you if needed or just stop by.
p. Some notable items this week:
Soups – there are two soups for this month to warm you and detox those holiday pounds away!
p. Need to boost your immune system? Try the Fire Cider or our honey!
p. Still have a sweet tooth, but don’t want the guilt? Try our Triple Coconut Gluten Free Bread.
p. Don’t forget we have farm partner goods as well! Locally roasted coffee, handcrafted soaps, mockernut syrup, mustard or BBQ sauce!!

Stay healthy!
