Market News
Forest Run Farm is offering spinach, mizuna, arugula, baby choy and Asian Greens this week, produced in the Hoop House. They also have small head lettuce in various green varieties.
The herbs look wonderful! Lovage has a celery flavor, and is best first thing in the spring. Chives have arrived in the field.
Vegetable plants are available for planting home gardens—peppers, tomatoes and head lettuce—but other varieties are coming. Note that CSA credit can not be used on plants, so please pay for them with cash or check.
Friday pick up will be 4-6pm at Forest Run Farm in DeForest. Please make alternate arrangements for pick up if needed. CSA members that pick up at Hilldale should arrive between 8 and noon. All Farmstand CSA members can shop at Forest Run Farm’s vendor location at Hilldale Farmers Market: Bring your punchcard. We still recommend pre-ordering so that you get the most variety.
How to use Lovage
- Cook with lentils- saute a few leaves with onions, add lentils and cook slowly.
- Chop the leaves and add to cream cheese—use as a stuffing in a chicken breast.
- Pesto is traditionally made with basil, but can be made with most herbs. I use sorrel and lovage.
- Lovage, chopped finely, can be used on a pizza topping.
- Lovage is excellent with fish, such as salmon
- Chop the leaves in a fresh leaf and herb salad- dress with your favorite dressing.
- Leek and lovage soup- it sounds good and tastes fantastic- the leeks and lovage really work well together.

Our egg demand is high so we bring you eggs from Oakview Farm Meats, End Of The Road Farm, and Lonny’s Green Acres.

Happy Mother’s Day!
There are lots of NEW products for real good eating and sharing.
It’s really important to buy local food first! I personally get most of my weekly groceries here. ( And I grow a lot of my own food as well). It’s so satisfying knowing that my dollars went into a farmers hands than into corporate entities.
Farm Tours are scheduled soon. A lot of our farms here are participating in the CFSA coming in June. More details later. CAFE is planning a tour of farms as well. So there will be plenty of opportunity to visit any farm you want!
Plus, most farmers allow a stop in visit. May even put you to work. ( I know I would!)!
Take care of your moms, buy local food and craft , and Eat Well!
CLG: Opening Bell: Enjoy some Early Season Goodness!
Good afternoon,
Wow, another week with 700 products listed! Right around the corner will be berries and summer squash too. Thanks Growers! There are several listings for bulk amounts so you can preserve the goodness by canning, freezing, or dehydrating. Enjoy the goodness!
SPECIAL NOTE: Backyard Gourmet, sponsored by the Library and La Lucha Space is on May 17 from 5-8 PM. This year we have a grant from the Department of Arkansas Heritage to celebrate Heritage Month with the theme: “Come to the table: Celebrating the flavors of Arkansas”. Our event is called “Beans, Greens and Cornbread” and we are inviting everyone to come to the library to celebrate our local food traditions with this free meal. This is also a dessert potluck, so bring a dessert to share!
We’ll have live music from Joe and Jeff, High Lonesome, and the Arkansas Country Dance Society. There will be a mini-seed swap and some seed saving demonstrations, plus winning photos from our photography contest.
Lots of great produce coming to the market every Friday. Come early for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.

Market News
Happy Mother’s Day to all our mothers out there. We appreciate everything you do especially feeding your family locally grown and made products.
There are several items of interest for the Market this week. Meadow Branch Beef is on vacation. Wedge Oak Farm has re-stocked their offerings of pork and chicken. With the weather warming up, there is an abundance of fresh produce this week including several varieties of kale and lettuce.
The marvelous weather and hens growing up nicely have left Rock Hill Road Farm with extra Junior sized eggs. RJ is running a sale on young pullet eggs for $3.00 per dozen.
Still more plants for your garden are being added. These include cucumbers, potatoes and peppers from Rainbow Hill Farm and White City Produce and Greenhouse.
Many of you were able to enjoy strawberries from Rocky Glade Farm last week. They have once again made them available to order. They will go quickly though.
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

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! There is an abundance of springs onions on the Market this week, so we are featuring a reciping using them from Yummly and Kalyn’s Kitchen.
Val’s Sweet Cabbage Slaw with Green Onion and Parsley
(Makes 4-6 servings, recipe from my sister Val.)
Ingredients:
1/2 large head green cabbage (about 6 cups coarsely chopped cabbage)
3/4 cup chopped parsley (or more, you can use curly or flat parsley)
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (or more)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar or white vinegar
1/2 cup sugar or Splenda (use Splenda for South Beach Diet)
salt to taste (I used about 3/4 tsp. sea salt)
freshly ground black pepper to taste (I used about 1/4 tsp.)
Instructions:
Cut out core from cabbage, then thinly slice and coarsely chop slices until you have about 6 cups chopped cabbage. Wash and coarsely chop parsley, and thinly slice green onions.
In small bowl or glass measuring cup, stir together the canola oil, white balsamic vinegar or white vinegar, sugar or Splenda, salt, and pepper.
Put chopped cabbage, chopped parsley, and sliced green onions into salad bowl and toss to combine. Add just enough dressing to moisten salad, and toss again. (You may not need all the dressing.) Taste to see if you want more salt or pepper, then serve.
This will keep for a day or so in the fridge, although I think it’s better freshly made when the cabbage has more crunch.
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!
