Flat Rock Tailgate Market News - October 20, 2011
Fall has definitely arrived and with it brings our next to last market. Come out this week and next week so you don't miss out on local fresh produce. Also find out how you can continue to eat local produce all winter long by using a local CSA.
Deep Woods Mushrooms:
I will have a limited amount of fresh shiitakes, lots of dried shiitakes, so stock up for winter. I'll also (hopefully) have wild mushrooms (if I have time to get out in the woods).
Holly Spring Farm & Nursery:
Despite the cooler weather, we still have lots of tomatoes. We'll also have beets, carrots, eggplant, peppers, lettuce, Swiss chard and winter squashes.
Good Things Grow Here:
This week I will have lots of potatoes, seasonal greens, lettuce, eggplant, and eggs.
Deerwood Nursery & Farms:
A sudden drop in the temperatures this week reminds us it is fall rather than summer. I was glad I roasted two chickens. Granddad's chicken salad with grapes will make one meal and Mexican chicken soup will make another one. Wasn't that easy? (Stop by if you need recipes for these easy meals.) If you have football games in your schedule, you may want to pick up some ribs or Italian sausage for easy grilling. We have fresh and frozen chickens as well as ten different pork cuts. There is definitely something for everyone's table. While the tailgate market has been wonderful, keep in mind you can continue to get Deerwood chicken and pork even after the market ends. Stop by our booth to pick up contact information. We look forward to seeing you Thursday!! Rick and Karen JordanDeerwood Nursery and Farms
Marvelous Pies:
This week we will have an assortment of our holiday favorites. Pumpkin pies, apple pies, sweet potato pies and bar cookies. Email us if you need a whole cake for $25, triple chocolate, flourless, gluten free chocolate and red velvet are available to pick up on Thursday IF pre-ordered.
Carolina Herb Farm:
I will have cut lettuce by the bag, lettuce baskets, and some herbs.
Shepherds' Flock Farm:
Howdy, everyone from Shepherds' Flock Farm. This thursday I have two new jellies for you to try; Poor Man's Honey, and Strawberry, Pineapple Jalapeno. I have also added Mango recently, and Fire n Ice. I will also be bringing apples. I am taking pre-paid orders for our last week festival on apples. I hope you will come and see us. The weather will be great. Still running my jelly special buy 5 and get one free. See ya Thursday!!!!!!! And, as usual, there'll beLOTS more!
Winter Sun CSA:
Coming to the market this week with information and an opportunity to sign up for local food all winter long. Winter Sun Farms is a CSA program of Blue Ridge Food Ventures that takes fresh produce from local, sustainable farms and then preps, packages, and freezes it until winter. CSA members receive 7-8 packages of these frozen fruits and veggies each month from December through March. WSF butternut squash puree becomes a quick soup or dip; edamame from Jake's Farm just need to be heated and salted; frozen diced tomatoes, green beans and bell peppers make a quick minestrone, etc. At each pick-up other local products are also offered such as eggs, pasture-raised meats, wild caught salmon, fish cakes, tempeh from local soybeans and other great BRFV products.
