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.

Summer Music in Flat Rock News - Angela Easterling Performs Sept. 5th
Angela Easterling was raised in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Much of her childhood was spent on the farm that has been in her family since 1791, seven generations. A performer all her life, Angela began playing guitar and writing songs while studying at Emerson College in Boston. More and more her music returned to the place her heart called home. Easterling’s songs run the range of emotions of a woman fully assessing her family’s past and present with a new life perspective, juxtaposing the personal with outside forces. “As much as I love writing, a song doesn’t seem real until you have shared it with others. Then it takes on a life of its own and doesn’t belong to me anymore, it belongs to everyone. I feel so blessed and fortunate to be able to make my way through the world by sharing my music and my stories.” Angela embraced her heritage in a big way as a writer and an artist on her debut album, "Earning Her Wings", chosen as "Americana Pick of the Year" by Smart Choice Music. Her newly released CD "Black Top Road" produced by Will Kimbrough is receiving wide recognition on the country/folk/alternative music horizon. Her CDs will be available at the concert.

What's At the Market This Week?
YOU READY? HERE GOES!:
Corn, tomatoes (including Heirloom), cucumbers, potatoes (red, blue and Swedish fingerling), onions, carrots, Asian long beans, pole beans, hericot vert, yellow wax beans, Italian flat beans, okra, arugala, lettuce, Swiss chard, kale, garlic, patty pan squash, zucchini, shitaki and wild mushrooms...and that's just the veggies!
We'll also have blueberries, strawberries, rhubarb, peaches, apples, blackberries...and that's just the fruit!
Fresh Seafood, Chicken and Goat Cheese
Flowers and Plants and Herbs
Beautiful maple trees, roses, sunflowers and an array of gorgeous cut flowers to decorate your home or business!
Baked Goods
As always, the Flat Rock Village Bakery will be offering their wonderful breads and cookies, Majdi will have his delightful Lebanese baked goods and Kristin of Dessert First will offer SC peach crumb bars, Flat Rock blackberry tarts, frangi pane tarts, her yummy (my favorite) pecan bars and NC blueberry cheese tarts.
What Else?
Local honey, home made dog biscuits, gourmet mustard, bbq sauce, jams and jellies including, new this week, peach/rhubarb jam and strawberry freezer jam, and two flavors of chocolate dipped pretzels!
New Vendor
Stop by and welcome Susan to the market. She will have a wide range of medicinal herb products made from herbs she either finds or grows. She may even have fresh blueberry pies and home made grape juice!
Speaking of juice, a couple of vendors will be selling ice cold lemonade for your market shopping pleasure! AND, don't forget that Hubba-Hubba Smoke House is open until 7pm. You might want to plan your market visit later in the day so you can enjoy a scrumptious bbq dinner.
And believe it or not, there's even more. So come, bring your shopping bags and enjoy the Flat Rock Tailgate Marekt. RAIN OR SHINE!
