CLG: Opening Bell: Summer Squash, Corn, Bulk Cucumbers & Blackberries!
Good afternoon,
Now is a great time to take advantage of the super prices on summer squash and freeze them for use fall and winter. Just slice, blanch, and freeze in Ziploc bags and you can have delicious squash casserole anytime you want! I’ve also seen recipes for zucchini dill pickles. Might be worth a try.
Barnhill Orchards is picking blackberries! Is it jam making time?
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!
Steve

South Cumberland Farmer's Market: Sequatchie Cove Creamery
Cheese, cheese, cheese is on the market this week! Stock up!
Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm could use your help
The push to get me to the keyboard is that I am making hay today and the weather looks promising until Sunday evening with 90% prob of showers. I would love to get the hay in the barn, or at least loaded on a wagon and covered.
This means an opportunity to come to the farm and help out!! For a hour or two, not more. I cut about 2 acres which means about two wagon loads, about 200 bales. We just have to walk the field putting bales on the wagon and building the load, then unloading with a bale elevator into the barn.
If you or a family member can offer a helping hand, I’d very much appreciate it. Logistics: bale Saturday June 6th, and load and put in barn on Sunday.
You can reply by if by email or phone. I likely will need about six people on Sunday starting around 11am.
If you have a couple hours, I will very much appreciate your help.
