Highlighted Grower of the Week!

Johnston Family Farm

Johnston Family Farm is a producer of all natural farm fresh raw milk from grass fed pastured cows. The Johnston family has owned and operated the farm since 1940. We produce all of the milk, cheese, and cream here on our farm and we encourage you to come see how we do what we do. Our cows are pastured and have access to fresh grass except for the few hours they are brought up to the barn to be milked. We milk Jerseys, Jersey-Holstein, and Jersey- Holstein-Swedish Red cross breeds and the sires have been picked from bulls that have been genetically tested for the A2 protein. In fact, most of our bulls are dominant A2/A2 carriers so after breeding these bulls for the last 8 years the majority of our cows are A2 carriers.
And his products taste great!

Each week, I want to remind you who our Grower’s are and why they are so special!

We also have Wilderness Family Naturals Coconut Sugar, Flour and Organic Popcorn in the Market for sale! When you come to pick up your order, check them out! They are also now online!

Remember we have Kombucha available! If you are not familiar with it, Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea with natural probiotics! It has been around for centuries originating in Asia. It is said to have healing properties and because it is naturally fermented, is a great support for the digestive system. When your here, ask me for a sample! I’d love your feedback!

If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your imput!

Remember…
The Market is extending their hours! The Market will now be open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!
Having said that, if you place an order with us, PLEASE remember to pick it up on Tuesday. As I am so grateful for your orders, I also have a family at home waiting on me too! We cannot hold orders, especially cold items due to limited refrigeration space, so please be courteous and come for your order.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Manchester Locally Grown Online Farmer's Market - It's Time to Order


Manchester Locally Grown online farmers’ market is now open for ordering.

PLEASE NOTE a new closing time for orders: 10 pm on Tuesday evenings. This will give our farmers a little more time to harvest their products to fill your orders.

This week we are pleased to announce additional fall products from White City Produce and Greenhouses. Be sure to check out their cider and jelly, both in two flavors – muscadine and scuppernong.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse reminds you that now is the ideal time to plant all perennials: cooler temperatures will develop strong root systems for good winter survival rates and prolific spring bloom.

The local baked goods and pork products that we list are both unique to the Manchester market. Herbal bath & body products, local honey, fresh-laid chicken & duck eggs, and plenty more products are to be found on our market. Give them a try!

REMEMBER:

  • PLEASE do not write out your checks ahead of your market pickup. Growers can sometimes remove items at the last minute, affecting your invoice. Please wait until your total is established at market.

  • If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. Log back in and press the Place Your Order button; then you should receive an e-mail to confirm the order.

  • Be sure to hit that Place Your Order button before 10 p.m. on Tuesday evening.


  • Take a look at our offerings and support your friends and neighbors who produce these quality items on their own farms. Remember: ordering will close on Tuesday evening at 10 p.m.

    (L to R) Scuppernong Jelly and Muscadine Cider from White City Produce & Greenhouses, Toad Lily Plant from Dogwood Valley Greenhouses, Chamomile Tea from Triple B Farms, Mixed Greens from White City Produce & Greenhouses.

    We’ll see you for pickup of your order on Thursday between 3:00 and 4:30 at Square Books, 113 E Main, Manchester.

    JUMPOFF MOUNTAIN JAVA is back this week.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    The Coffee Break Open House will be on Tuesday, December 2, between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. (before market). This Coffee Break will target holiday gift-giving to get our customers (and new customers from the Sewanee community) to come see the market and order your wonderful products online. And that day, they will be able to buy items, as well.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES
    We continue to hear that our customers are having difficulty communicating with the CFM. Please remember you should NOT reply to an order confirmation, the blog e-mail, or a market e-mail that comes through mailgun.org.

    Instead, you should begin a completely new e-mail. By doing this, your message will not become “lost” in the message history and be overlooked. You may also call Kir at 931-592-3399 (no voice mail).
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
    PLACING AN ORDER
    Before you order, be sure you see the little basket. If you do not, log out and log in again. If this fails, turn off your computer completely and start again. This includes ordering from smart phones.

    If you want to leave a comment for a grower, be sure to put it in the “Leave comment for grower” area in RED beneath the item you’re ordering. Placing comments in the market manager section will not be seen by the growers.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    BIOINTENSIVE GARDENING
    We have had several requests for information on biointensive gardening/farming. If you are interested in a very informal discussion group on this subject, please let us know so we can add you to the list, either on the teacher or student side. Everyone is welcome, including those not currently customers or growers on the market.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    NEW DELIVERY DRIVER
    Have you contacted Rachel Lynch, the new Sewanee delivery driver? E-mail: radelo50@yahoo.com or phone 931-598-0774.

    Don’t forget the driver cannot accept payments of any kind on behalf of the CFM. Payment of all CFM orders MUST be made in advance of Tuesday’s delivery. Checks must be mailed in time to be posted to customer accounts before closing of market ordering on Monday. To ensure your account always has a positive balance, the CFM prefers payments in increments of at least $100.00. Mail checks made out to CFM to Kir Strobel, 744 Timberwood Trace, Monteagle, TN 37356.

    Should at-home delivery not work for you, your second option is to leave your order at the Center to be picked up by you or a designée by 6 p.m. Wednesday. As with any left-behind order, there will be a $3.00 fee unless that order has been prepaid in full in advance. Don’t forget there is no freezer at the Center for the forseeable future, so it is imperative your items be picked up in a timely manner.
    -———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
    PANETTONE COMING FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Be looking for it from Dogwood Farm Bakery.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————
    Don’t forget…
    If you do not receive an order confirmation within 5 minutes, your order has NOT been placed in the system. E-MAIL OR CALL US to get the problem solved so you will not be disappointed on market day.

    Please remember the market closes at 10 a.m. on Monday; therefore, your order must be completed and placed, and you should be signed out of the software.
    -————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
    If you have any questions, please call (931.592.3399, no voice mail) or e-mail (cumberlandfm@gmail.com) us.

    Heirloom Living Market Hamilton Mill:  'Bits and Bites' November 1, 2014


    For Chrome users or plain text users,
    you will find this easier to read and be able to see pictures if you go to the Market and choose Weblog …it’s easier on the eyes!

    Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:

    Oh Wow! It is chilly and windy with a little-more-than-a dusting of the white stuff covering the ground this morning! The late night, misty kind of rain, left the tree limbs wet and the cold winds over night served to freeze the rain on limbs and leaves! Although I was having a bit of non-belief about the swiftness of how time has literally flown by since August, I am now in full acceptance that we are entering into the Winter season!

    The Market is now Open for ordering and if you would like to fore-go reading the Newsletter —

    Hop on over to Hamilton Mill Market


    If you have your beverage of choice in hand and have a few minutes to catch up with Market news, then read on…

    Azure Standard

    Order Deadline for November is Tuesday, November 4th at 6:00pm


    Please share this information with friends and family to ensure that we will all have this great resource available to us!


    Azure Standard offers over 9,000 items of which the majority are Organic (or at the very least non-GMO)! The website can be overwhelming, especially if you are a new customer. My humble suggestion is: use the ‘search’ feature to find items that you regularly purchase from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts or wherever and see the savings. Save them to you ‘favorites list’ so they will be easy to find next time. When I first started ordering, that is the method I used the first couple of months. When I had some ‘extra time’ online during the month, I would ‘Shop By Category’ looking at only the ones that held some interest to me. I found that these two methods helped acclimate me to the company, the website and was the best use of my time!
    Now, because I have items saved to my ‘favorites list’, shopping is fast and simple! Of course I still ‘explore’ categories or check out items that others have suggested.


    Another idea – if you see something that only comes in a ‘bulk’ offering, check with friends or post a notice on the Facebook Page listed below and offer to share with one or more folks! This is a great way to get extra savings and help others at the same time.

    Here’s the scoop:

    Azure Standard Deadline for September

    A Few Volunteers Still Needed

    If you are interested in helping out at the Crossfit Market, please contact Market Volunteer Coordinator, Chance Claar-Pressley. You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . Kathy could use some help every other week between 2:00pm and 3:30pm on Thursday as Farmers drop off the ordered items and they are distributed!

    Heartfelt Gratitude

    “Thank You” to the Market Coordinators: Lauren Stephens at the Crossfit Market, Sarah Rockey at the Hamilton Mill Market and Kathy Barnes, at the Lilburn Market. These ladies give most of their day on Thursday to ensure that we all can enjoy the fruits of our Local Farmers labors!

    In addition I would like to thank the following folks who routinely volunteer to assist with set-up, Market and breakdown:

Products will be display and showcased at all of the Markets. Sue just got in “Organic Chocolate Chips” and you can check them out on Market Day! The Congregation and Pastor Stover have been wonderful friends to the Market and are very supportive of our efforts! Let’s return the favor!

    Farmer Updates

    Cedar Seeder I have sung the praises of the Micro (Veggie) Wraps! Have you tried the Bakery Bars. Some folks are becoming seriously addicted! If you haven’t tried them, order one today – great Breakfast or Snack! In addition to their Cedar, handmade planters, you can find their Microgreens for Pets combos for Cats and Dogs and for us humans: Arugula, Basil, Broccoli, Kale, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass! Ready to be snipped and added to smoothies, salads or your favorite juice!


    Doug of Doug’s Garden is still waiting for more items to harvest and hopefully will offer items on all Markets next week.


    Miss Vicky of Fry Farm is offering: Delicious and adorable ‘Gold Nugget’ Winter Squash, Contneder Green Beans, Collard Greens 2 kinds of Kale and Hakuri Turnips! I really like the Hakuris sauteed in a bit of butter or dehydrated with a bit of sea salt! (wonderful alternative to chips!)


    Roger and Reggie Ramos of Grow With The Flow are offering: 2 kinds of Kale at the Lilburn Market only.


    Tammy and Jeff Soseby of Peacefield Farms offer hydroponically grown Beefsteak Tomatoes. You can still have a taste of summer in your salads! Tammy is also offering some homemade scarves that are beautiful. Check them out when you are perusing the Market!


    The Veggie Patch is providing a good selection of wonderful, fresh veggie offerings and have fresh Herbs listed as well! Basil, Chives, Mint, Oregano,2 kinds of Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme and Medicinal Herbs Chamomile and Lavender. Veggies include: Arugula, Broccoli Crowns, Bok Choi, Red Carrots, 4 types of Eggplant, 3 kinds of Kale, 3 Lettuce varieties, Mizuna, Nappa Cabbage, Okra 13 varieties of Peppers from Sweet to ‘call the fire department’ HOT; Swiss Chard and The Weekly Veggie Box.


    Be sure and check out the meat selections available from B&G Farms. From Pork Tenderloin, (which is delicious marinated and grilled) to the many varieties of Sausage, Pork Chops and Longaniza (hot dogs), to any cut of Beef you want, Lynda has us covered! Additional Chicken and Beef will be available next week after Lynda picks up from the processor.


    David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Try a Brisket smoked! Delicious! Shalley makes a wonderful line of Natural Skin Care Products using the tallow from the Water Buffalo. Her Face Creams are luscious! A couple of weeks ago I tried the Tallow Foot Butter which has Peppermint Essential Oil in it. Oh, Wow! Feels great and my feet and looking and feeling better!


    Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed.


    My Daily Bread From Challah to Sourdough Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread to Cookies, Dabrielle’s Organic, Fresh Baked Goods are sure to please.

    Dabrielle has created a wonderful Gluten Free Greek Pasta Salad that is a real taste treat served cold or warm!


    Please remember that in order for My Daily Bread to deliver from their wonderful Bakery and Farm located in Cleveland, GA, we must meet a minimum, so be sure and get your items ordered today!


    Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks has created a fabulous new cookie! Almond Sandies and they are buttery, have just the right amount of crunchy texture and are wonderful with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee of tea! Although Marie doesn’t have items listed on the Market this week, look for her items on the Farmers’ Sale Table!


    Jay and Patti of Dances With Bees have Honey offerings as well as some other great products! The Candles are made of pure beeswax and the Lady Bug is as cute as it can be! I love the rolled beeswax candles also. Patti makes some awesome Personal Care products as well!


    Jay has managed to slip a couple of new products in his offerings! I ordered the BBQ Honey a month or so ago and have used it on Wings, Chicken Breasts and a Pork Tenderloin and Lamb Ribs! Oh, WOW! Try this amazing Honey/Glaze! It’s subtly spicy and smokey! Wow!


    The Happy Cows belonging to Sam Jones of Cedar Rock Dairy continue to produce wonderful milk (for our pets)! The cream line on the jars these last couple of weeks has been impressive! Keep up the good work, ladies! Located in Butler, Georgia, Sam’s cows enjoy grazing on 1200 acres of this Certified Organic Farm and we are fortunate that he is willing to transport this fresh, creamy milk to us. Working together, we need to ensure that we meet a minimum order for each Market so it remains economically viable for deliveries to continue! Share the goodness of Cedar Rock Dairy milk with friends and family!


    Remember, you need 3 sets of jars to keep things flowing smoothly. If you order an extra one week, you likely will be missing one the following week. The Market can no longer absorb the cost if you receive your milk in plastic and you will be charged the difference. Your jars need to be ‘sparkling clean’ and completely dry (jar and BOTH lids)!

    Raw Milk Jar System
    A1 vs A2 Milk


    Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! (Did you know that Rusty is from Ohio? True!) The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The milk from Little Tots also makes wonderful cheese! It is great for pets with stomach issues, also! To keep The Black Lab, healthy, he enjoys some everyday!


    Kathy Barnes of So-Koi not only helps out at the Markets, she is also the wonderful lady that makes the great lanyards, aprons, pillowcases and tiny purse bags (for carrying your own sweeteners, salts, etc.) Check out her offerings that are all hand made with love!


    Kathy is also coordinating the Group Buys for Real Salt and Einkorn Wheat. Sign up sheets will be on the Check out table at each Market.


    … this and that …

    I continually thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on me in my life which definitely includes the Market and all of the wonderful folks I have come to know. I am here to serve you, the Members and the Farmers.


    The Black Lab is snuggled at my feet in his warm bed here in the office. To my great surprise he significantly cut short his usual 2 hour foray in the yard this morning! Could it be that his old bones are feeling this cold weather? I better make sure he gets enough Bone Broth to help keep his joints supple!


    The colder weather inspired some serious kitchen time yesterday that will carry on through the weekend! Beef and Lamb and Water Buffalo Bones were roasted yesterday and put on for Bone Broth. Part of the broth will be made into a yummy Veggie Soup with Green Beans, Carrots, Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Corn and whatever other goodies I find in the freezer from the Harvest this past Summer! I defrosted a Eye of Round Roast yesterday and put a rub on it this morning, so it will go in the oven later today. I am thinking of serving it with Sweet Potatoes, Spinach and Tomato Salad with goat cheese, Quinoa and some frozen Peaches for dessert!


    A new batch of Tea for Kombucha is on the stove and I have Beets to start some Beet Kvass and Nappa Cabbage to start some Sauerkraut. What goodies are you making this weekend?


    I wish you all a happy weekend and a wonderful week! Don’t forget to Vote on Tuesday and while you are at it Fly the Flag!

From Pork Tenderloin, (which is delicious marinated and grilled) to the many varieties of Sausage, Pork Chops and Longaniza (hot dogs), to any cut of Beef you want, Lynda has us covered! Additional Chicken and Beef will be available next week after Lynda picks up from the processor.


    David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Try a Brisket smoked! Delicious! Shalley makes a wonderful line of Natural Skin Care Products using the tallow from the Water Buffalo. Her Face Creams are luscious! A couple of weeks ago I tried the Tallow Foot Butter which has Peppermint Essential Oil in it. Oh, Wow! Feels great and my feet and looking and feeling better!


    Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed.


    My Daily Bread From Challah to Sourdough Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread to Cookies, Dabrielle’s Organic, Fresh Baked Goods are sure to please.

    Dabrielle has created a wonderful Gluten Free Greek Pasta Salad that is a real taste treat served cold or warm!


    Please remember that in order for My Daily Bread to deliver from their wonderful Bakery and Farm located in Cleveland, GA, we must meet a minimum, so be sure and get your items ordered today!


    Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks has created a fabulous new cookie! Almond Sandies and they are buttery, have just the right amount of crunchy texture and are wonderful with a glass of milk, a hot cup of coffee of tea! Although Marie doesn’t have items listed on the Market this week, look for her items on the Farmers’ Sale Table!


    Jay and Patti of Dances With Bees have Honey offerings as well as some other great products! The Candles are made of pure beeswax and the Lady Bug is as cute as it can be! I love the rolled beeswax candles also. Patti makes some awesome Personal Care products as well!


    Jay has managed to slip a couple of new products in his offerings! I ordered the BBQ Honey a month or so ago and have used it on Wings, Chicken Breasts and a Pork Tenderloin and Lamb Ribs! Oh, WOW! Try this amazing Honey/Glaze! It’s subtly spicy and smokey! Wow!


    The Happy Cows belonging to Sam Jones of Cedar Rock Dairy continue to produce wonderful milk (for our pets)! The cream line on the jars these last couple of weeks has been impressive! Keep up the good work, ladies! Located in Butler, Georgia, Sam’s cows enjoy grazing on 1200 acres of this Certified Organic Farm and we are fortunate that he is willing to transport this fresh, creamy milk to us. Working together, we need to ensure that we meet a minimum order for each Market so it remains economically viable for deliveries to continue! Share the goodness of Cedar Rock Dairy milk with friends and family!


    Remember, you need 3 sets of jars to keep things flowing smoothly. If you order an extra one week, you likely will be missing one the following week. The Market can no longer absorb the cost if you receive your milk in plastic and you will be charged the difference. Your jars need to be ‘sparkling clean’ and completely dry (jar and BOTH lids)!

    Raw Milk Jar System
    A1 vs A2 Milk


    Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! (Did you know that Rusty is from Ohio? True!) The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The milk from Little Tots also makes wonderful cheese! It is great for pets with stomach issues, also! To keep The Black Lab, healthy, he enjoys some everyday!


    Kathy Barnes of So-Koi not only helps out at the Markets, she is also the wonderful lady that makes the great lanyards, aprons, pillowcases and tiny purse bags (for carrying your own sweeteners, salts, etc.) Check out her offerings that are all hand made with love!


    Kathy is also coordinating the Group Buys for Real Salt and Einkorn Wheat. Sign up sheets will be on the Check out table at each Market.


    … this and that …

    I continually thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on me in my life which definitely includes the Market and all of the wonderful folks I have come to know. I am here to serve you, the Members and the Farmers.


    The Black Lab is snuggled at my feet in his warm bed here in the office. To my great surprise he significantly cut short his usual 2 hour foray in the yard this morning! Could it be that his old bones are feeling this cold weather? I better make sure he gets enough Bone Broth to help keep his joints supple!


    The colder weather inspired some serious kitchen time yesterday that will carry on through the weekend! Beef and Lamb and Water Buffalo Bones were roasted yesterday and put on for Bone Broth. Part of the broth will be made into a yummy Veggie Soup with Green Beans, Carrots, Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Corn and whatever other goodies I find in the freezer from the Harvest this past Summer! I defrosted a Eye of Round Roast yesterday and put a rub on it this morning, so it will go in the oven later today. I am thinking of serving it with Sweet Potatoes, Spinach and Tomato Salad with goat cheese, Quinoa and some frozen Peaches for dessert!


    A new batch of Tea for Kombucha is on the stove and I have Beets to start some Beet Kvass and Nappa Cabbage to start some Sauerkraut. What goodies are you making this weekend?


    I wish you all a happy weekend and a wonderful week! Don’t forget to Vote on Tuesday and while you are at it Fly the Flag!

    Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville :  "Bits and Bites" November 1, 2014


    For Chrome users or plain text users,
    you will find this easier to read and be able to see pictures if you go to the Market and choose Weblog …it’s easier on the eyes!

    Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:

    Oh Wow! It is chilly and windy with a little-more-than-a dusting of the white stuff covering the ground this morning! The late night, misty kind of rain, left the tree limbs wet and the cold winds over night served to freeze the rain on limbs and leaves! Although I was having a bit of non-belief about the swiftness of how time has literally flown by since August, I am now in full acceptance that we are entering into the Winter season!

    The Market is now Open for ordering and if you would like to fore-go reading the Newsletter —

    Hop on over to Crossfit Market


    If you have your beverage of choice in hand and have a few minutes to catch up with Market news, then read on…

    Azure Standard

    Order Deadline for November is Tuesday, November 4th at 6:00pm


    Please share this information with friends and family to ensure that we will all have this great resource available to us!


    Azure Standard offers over 9,000 items of which the majority are Organic (or at the very least non-GMO)! The website can be overwhelming, especially if you are a new customer. My humble suggestion is: use the ‘search’ feature to find items that you regularly purchase from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts or wherever and see the savings. Save them to you ‘favorites list’ so they will be easy to find next time. When I first started ordering, that is the method I used the first couple of months. When I had some ‘extra time’ online during the month, I would ‘Shop By Category’ looking at only the ones that held some interest to me. I found that these two methods helped acclimate me to the company, the website and was the best use of my time!
    Now, because I have items saved to my ‘favorites list’, shopping is fast and simple! Of course I still ‘explore’ categories or check out items that others have suggested.


    Another idea – if you see something that only comes in a ‘bulk’ offering, check with friends or post a notice on the Facebook Page listed below and offer to share with one or more folks! This is a great way to get extra savings and help others at the same time.

    Here’s the scoop:

    Azure Standard Deadline for September
    Azure Standard Order Deadline: Tuesday, November 4th at 6:00pm
    Azure Standard Pickup Date: Tuesday, November 11th at 2:30pm

    A Few Volunteers Still Needed

    If you are interested in helping out at the Crossfit Market, please contact Market Volunteer Coordinator, Chance Claar-Pressley. You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . Lauren could certainly use some help between 2:30pm and 4:00pm on Thursday as Farmers drop off the ordered items and they are distributed!

    Heartfelt Gratitude

    “Thank You” to the Market Coordinators: Lauren Stephens at the Crossfit Market, Sarah Rockey at the Hamilton Mill Market and Kathy Barnes, at the Lilburn Market. These ladies give most of their day on Thursday to ensure that we all can enjoy the fruits of our Local Farmers labors!

    Susan Martinson, a Market Member and All Saints Lutheran Church Member is also helping us at the Lilburn Market, setting up the Market display table as well as selling Organic, Free Trade Coffees, Teas and delicious Chocolate Bars. Do try the Midnight Sun if you like a full-bodied yummy morning coffee! All Saints is using this endeavor as a Fund Raiser, so please take a minute and check out the products. Products will be display and showcased at all of the Markets. Sue just got in “Organic Chocolate Chips” and you can check them out on Market Day! The Congregation and Pastor Stover have been wonderful friends to the Market and are very supportive of our efforts! Let’s return the favor!
