Market News

The Market is back open this chilly morning and with a threat of our first major snow this winter.

We are still waiting for some warmer weather so that more produce will be available. You can still find plenty of baked goods, eggs, meat and poultry, and skin care products from our local growers and producers.

Chef Jenny’s message for the week:

Valentine’s Day brings out the sweetness in everyone. NEW this week from the Seeds of Success: Cuckoo Cocoa Bits. A snack that satisfies your sweet tooth and provides protein by combining toasted seeds with agave, cocoa, and a hint of peppermint. It’s a crunchy, chocolatey treat that is reminiscent of a cookie.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!

Recipes

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too!

It has been a while since I have posted a recipe. Everyone likes using slow cookers so I found this one from Yummly and A Year of Slow Cooking for you to try. You can read the entire story here.

Honey Garlic Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
serves 4

The Ingredients.

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 or one thigh per family member)
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (La Choy or Tamari wheat-free are gluten free)
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3 cup honey

The Directions.

  1. Use a 4-quart slow cooker (if using a 6-quart, this will cook faster. Check after 3 hours on high, 5 hours on low).
  2. Put the chicken into your cooker. In a small bowl, combine the rest of the ingredients, then pour evenly over the top.
  3. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3-4 (I’d go with low—-).
  4. Serve with basmati rice and steamed or roasted vegetables.

I thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Winter is the perfect time to enjoy houseplants, succulent planters and herb collection baskets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. Don’t forget to let them know if you might be interested in purchasing flowering hanging baskets, vegetable plants in gallon pots, or 6 packs of bedding plants this spring. If there is something else special that you would be interested in, please let them know by e-mail to tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com.


This year-round online farmers’ market offers eggs, herbal products, local honey, winter vegetables, fresh greens, and pork products, all produced on local farms. Go through all the categories and find some great things to brighten up your winter meals. Support your friends and neighbors who have grown and produced these items.









A sampling of items available from our local farmers: (L to R) One dozen duck eggs from Solace Farm, Cubed Ham Cutlet from Weaver Farms, Gift Certificate and Succulent planter from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, Lotion bar from Solace Farm.


Ordering will be open until Tuesday at 10 p.m., and your order will be available for pickup on Thursday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 E Main, Manchester. We can also hold your order in the refrigerator till Friday, if that’s more convenient for you. Just call (931) 273-9708 if you prefer to utilize this free service.



Thanks so much for your support of Manchester Locally Grown Market, all of our growers, local food, and our right to eat it. Please encourage our local farmers by helping to spread the word about our wonderful market to everyone you know. Nothing makes a farmer more excited than seeing new customers on the market!

Linda

MARKET NEWS

*Tumeric seems to be all the buzz right now and for good reason! There are so many health benefits to using fresh in your smoothie or just putting the powder in your cooking. It has anti-inflammatory properties, it has iron and manganese but it’s properties have been shown to help those with auto-immune issues to even cancer. Never mind the benefits of curcumin, tumeric’s active ingredient.
I have wanted to grow it myself and found this article from a blog called The Rain Forest Garden and I hope this gives you some ideas if you are considering growing it yourself! Enjoy!
