CLG:  Opening Bell: Squash, Coffee, Apples, Green Beans...


Good afternoon,
We’ve had lots of rain, and now abundant sunshine, so many crops are producing nicely. Housekeeping note: Our market DOES NOT CLOSE during the winter months! We are usually open 50 weeks a year. This year we will be CLOSED the Friday after Thanksgiving (Nov 28) and CLOSED the Friday after Christmas (Dec 26). Be sure to tell all your friends about the ONLY market in Conway that’s open year-round. Thanks, and have a great week!

From ABC Nature Greenhouse & Herb Farm:
We will be turning in our plant board license so will no longer have hardy woody plants. This is the last week to order the following: Blueberry bush $7, Blackberry bush $7, Pomegranate bush $25, Hardy kiwi vine (male & female) $35, and goji berry vine $10.

Check out all the Featured Products and use the SEARCH field on the main Market page to quickly find the items you want.

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.

The market is now +OPEN +for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!

Have a great week!
Steve

Market News

Welcome back to another week of locally grown and made products. You may notice this email and the confirmation messages are coming from a new email address. For some reason, Bellsouth has marked my original email as spam and was preventing some messages from being delivered so I had to change to a new account. Please add this new address to your contacts.

Other news for this week:
Healthy Harvest Bread brings several varieties of apple cinnamon and streusel breads to the Market.

Nuance Coffee & Tea has added a 2nd Cascara (Coffee Cherry Tea) to their offerings this week. Cascara, Las Lajas, Perla Negra has notes of: Tart and sweet with apple cider, golden raisin, cherry cordial. They have also added 3 varieties of Yerba Mate’. Yerba Mate’ is a South American herb that is very energizing. It can be re-steeped, several times, before the energizing qualities are gone. Check them all out in the “Tea” section of the market.

Carolina Foothills, SC:  No Market This Week


Hello everyone,

I am sorry but I will not be able to open the market this week. I injured myself, tore the thigh muscle in my right leg, and am on bed rest.

I dont know if I will be able to drive by Tuesday so it is best if I dont open this week.

Thank you for understanding,

Susan.
