Green Fork Farmers Market: Weekly Product List
Dear Green Fork Farmers Market Customers,
It’s a great time for outdoor fun in the shade, enjoying your favorite local food grown naturally or handmade for you by our local farmers and artisans! Look and see what we have this week and place an order to reserve your products so you know you will have what you need when it’s time to fire up the grill.
NEW this week—Beyond Organics has fresh garlic, not cured, ready to add to all your summer dishes. Green Fork Farm has collard greens, as well as Thai Basil, which is the best basil for cooking Thai and Indian food because it is more stable under higher heat and longer cooking than sweet basil. And the flavor is amazing! Also available this week is a mixed herb bunch from Green Fork Farm. It has a little bit of a lot of different herbs, so you can custom mix them for each of your special dishes all week long. If you have any leftovers, you can use them to infuse water for a refreshing summer drink.
We have a great selection of pastured meats perfect for the grill, including whole chickens and chicken breasts, tenders, thighs, and drumsticks, premium ground beef and pork, pork sausages such as bratwurst, Italian sausage, chorizo, and breakfast sausage, delicious pork chops, roasts, and steaks, and lots of lamb choices—ground lamb, lamb chops, leg of lamb, roasts, shanks, kebabs, and ribs. In addition, we have nutritious organ meats and also soup bones and other items that make excellent stock for cooking.
Vegetables are also delicious on the grill! Try new Yukon Gold potatoes, red potatoes, Shiitake mushrooms, and onions. We also have green onions, kale, and collards available this week.
Fresh herbs make every dish more flavorful, and we have a large selection to choose from: basil, fennel leaf, mint, parsley, chives, sage, thyme, oregano, and lovage. Adams’ Acres on Clear Creek also has dried Shiitake mushrooms and mushroom powder to add a special touch to your meal.
Our local artisans are busy crafting handmade accompaniments for your meals and are offering salsa, lacto-fermented sauerkraut, and olives and olive oil directly from the grower in California. And don’t forget Blue Fox Farm’s chocolate chip cookies for a special treat. Yum!
Dandelion Peace Flower Botanicals has a full line of natural bath and beauty products to choose from. Bar soap, liquid soap, lip balm, moisturizer, cold cream, mouthwash, sugar scrub, and muscle salve are all necessary components of summer life, and make great gifts too!
Remember your pets this summer; try our all-natural pet food and dog bones.
Go ahead and place your order from now until Tuesday at noon for pickup at the market on Wednesday 4-7 pm. We’ll also have products available for sale on our tables, so make sure you check to see if there’s anything new at the market.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Market News
The Market is back open this week and we have a couple of farmer’s taking a vacation this week. Cedar Thicket Farm will be gone for several weeks. Rocky Glade Farm will be gone but return next week in time for the Fourth of July holiday. Farmer Brown and Meadow Branch Beef are still gone and hopefully will return soon.
All the farmer’s markets in the region are now open. You can enjoy local grown and made products all week long. If you are tired of the heat and crowds, Stones River Market is here for you. You can order from the comfort of your house. Some of our products are very unique to the region. Then pick up on Wednesday only takes minutes in most cases. We are here for you.
White City Produce and Greenhouse brings back the Mountain Fresh tomatoes.
Wedge Oak Farm has introduced a ham slice from their pasture raised hogs this week.
A note from Chef Jenny with JENuine Health:
Thank you for trying my Seeds of Success last week. I hope you enjoyed the wildly addictive snack mix. I am not only an inventive snack creator, but also a natural chef.
There’s a new Seeds of Success mix for you to try this week. It’s a Breakfast To-Go Mix with seeds, oats, flax, raisins and morning spices. It is great on it’s own, mixed in yogurt, with milk, or on top of toast with peanut butter.
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!
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! I am taking a break from recipes this week. If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.
Our recipe this week comes from Mandy with Ridiculous Chocolate using the coconut flour that they have on the Market.
Ingredients
4 TBSP melted butter, ghee, or coconut oil
1/4 cup coconut flour
6 eggs Tag a Market Product
2-4 TBSP pureed apple, pumpkin, banana, pear, or other mix in (optional)
2 TBSP honey
1/4 tsp salt
Step by Step Instructions
Preheat waffle iron (I always use high), grease generously with coconut oil or ghee. Mix all ingredients until smooth. Pour batter onto waffle iron, and using a butter knife or the back of a spoon, spread the batter to evenly distribute over the iron. Cook 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles covered with foil in a 200 degree oven to keep warm if you wish.
Top with nutbutter, boiled fruit, or honey for a quick meal on the go.
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!

ALFN Local Food Club: The Market is Open and FRESH is Digital!
Good Morning Market,
And what a great morning it is! We had such an amazing time celebrating the release of the 2nd edition of our FRESH Local Foods Directory yesterday at The Green Corner Store & Soda Fountain. It’s official: The 2nd edition is fresh off the press and out in the streets! If you weren’t able to grab FRESH yesterday, you can snag copies at local food locales like our market, The Root Cafe, Hillcrest Artisan Meats, The Bernice Garden Farmer’s Market, The Green Corner Store & Soda Fountain, and so many others! For those of you too eager to wait for a print copy, you can find FRESH online right here. To those that made FRESH a reality: We can not thank you enough. Thank you so much to all of our wonderful sponsors, local businesses that purchased ads, volunteers that put in countless hours, our designer, and supervolunteer Marisa Nelson for making the release party such a success. We are so thankful to be part of such a supportive and growing local food community!
Speaking of which, our growers sure are keeping the market interesting…
- I’m absolutely ecstatic for all of the eggplant. Barnhill’s black velvet looks perfect for a grilled eggplant parmigiana. Arkansas Natural Produce’s japanese would be delicious in a stir-fry. Yet the simplest thing to do would be to roast them up for a delicious baba ganoush.
- Fresh, shelled pinto beans from Hardin Farms. These beans are absolutely packed full of protein and fiber. I think I’ll eat mine with a side of cornbread.
- Farm Girl provides another amazing deal with their pork grilling bundle, which comes with the perfect Summer mix of pork chops, andouille sausages, and baby back ribs from animal welfare approved, woodland-raised hogs. If you’re not already, I highly recommend following her blog. She provides amazing insights into the intersection of the food we eat and the land we live on; delving into the lives of hogs, the thing about trees, and plenty of pictures of newborn piglets.
- Only the fastest-clicking customers get the limited offerings from Willow Springs Market Garden. It takes a quick click and check-out (or Sunday-morning visit to the Bernice Garden) to snag Robert’s churchill brussels sprouts, moringa leaves, defiant and sungold tomatoes, blueberries, and mulberries. I’m not telling merely to taunt you, but to highlight the amazing EPA-recognized farmer hero in our midst.
- A huge congrats to Geek Eats on becoming a father this week! We’re so glad the Geek Family has grown and that your incredible hummuses, pesto, and granola are back on the market.
Next Saturday, June 28th, our friends at the Victory Garden Project are having a volunteer workday to help finish their hoophouse that’s been three years in the making. They recently received a $500 grant through ALFN’s Community Fund to receive the rest of the materials they needed to make this hoophouse happen. We’re so excited that this awesome community garden is growing and we hope that you’ll come out and join us.
Locally yours,
- Alex Handfinger
Director of Operations

FARM NEWS
June Farm Camp was a HUGE success! Campers milked the goats, washed the pony, fed the chickens, pulled weeds and planted seeds in the garden, and much, much more. Some of the older campers even learned cow herding when our cow decided to visit the neighbor one morning!!!
July camp registration is now open. For information, go here. To book your reservation for your 5-14 year olds, go here. Please note that we cannot guarantee cow-chasing as part of the July camp experience :-)
MARKET NEWS
We have two markets left before the Fourth of July…are you having a cook-out? This is one of my very favorite summer activities and we have a lot of great items on market to make a scrumptious locally grown meal! I buy hamburger every week to slowly add to my stockpile so when a holiday rolls around, I have an ample supply.
So here is my holiday challenge to you: how many items from our local farmers can you share with family and friends at your holiday cook-out? (Shameless Plug: please pick up market brochures to share with your friends and family, we would love to have them as customers too!)
Here are some helpful suggestions. I would enjoy hearing additional ideas that you will be using!!!
Wagon Wheel Ranch – Steaks and burgers for the grill: grass-fed, grass-finished
or try
Anderson Farms pork chops on the grill!
Smokin’ Hot Buns – Mandy makes some pretty awesome hamburger buns from scratch. These can be put in the freezer Tuesday night and thawed the morning of the Fourth for optimum freshness.
Johnston Family Farm – what better way to top off the burger than with hand-made Mozzarella cheese?
Rocky Acres – devil those eggs!!!! (Or make Egg Salad for your vegetarian friends.)
Leah Lakes & Bo & Lisa’s Lil Patch – Lettuce and onions, be watching for tomatoes to be listed for burger toppers. Watch for potatoes too, I love putting potatoes and onions in aluminum foil with some olive oil or Johnston Family Farm butter and tossing it on to the grill. Yum! And because Leah Lakes has about a bazillion kinds of lettuce, a large tossed salad will be a yummy addition.
Smokin’ Hot Buns, Bo & Lisa’s Lil Patch and Sylvan Falls Mill: an ample supply of ready-made desserts, or blueberries or blackberries from Lisa to make your own.
And don’t forget to top it all off with iced coffee from JavaGenisis (save some cream from your milk from Russell), make blueberry milkshakes or smoothies from Lisa and Johnston Family Farm or top it all off with kombucha from Rancho Alegre! Also refreshing herbal iced tea (herbs from Lisa – Rancho Alegre will also have mints and lemon balm listed next week) sweetened with honey.
See you Tuesday!

Please contact grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com for questions pertaining to Market or Raw Milk. It is very difficult to return phone calls. Remember to interact with us on Facebook and follow us on Meetup to get notification on all our wonderful events and news. If you are interested in Goat’s Milk and can pick up any day but Tuesday, contact Nik The Goat Guy at 404-542-0981. Goats have to be milked every day and a week-end pick-up would be lovely. Please contact him first though, we can’t accommodate walk-ins due to hosting private events almost every week-end!

Volunteers Needed
My heart is warmed by the response to the request for volunteers and we are slowing getting to the point that folks can work just once a month! We still need a few more folks to make that a reality, so if you are interested, please contact Market Chance Claar-Pressley, who is coordinating the volunteers for me. Thank you Chance! You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . Chance tells me that we do need volunteers for July 3rd Market. I realize that the next day is a holiday, but if you could spare a couple of hours, it would be greatly appreciated!
“Thank yous” go out to Kathy and Keb Barnes, Susan Coker, Brigitte Rossi and her son and Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks who all helped out at the Lilburn Market on Thursday.
Sarah Rockey is a STAR! She is the Volunteer for the Hamilton Mill Market and the one responsible for getting all of the coolers and orders in and out of the cars! She sets up the Market with me and gets folks checked out, answers questions and knows all about the products that are offered by the Farmers and Artisans! Although Sarah orders and picks up at the Crossfit O-Zone Lawrenceville Market, she takes the time to help out at Hamilton Mill. Thank you Sarah for your support and belief in the Markets and for your invaluable help!
We still need YOU! The goal is to get enough folks on board so that we can rotate volunteer duties. Can you spare a few hours once a month? Without you as Members, the Market would not exist and now the Market needs your help!
Sarah Heath and Karen Thain have also joined the Volunteers at the Hamilton Mill Market and will be starting with us soon! Thank you, Ladies!
If you have a couple of hours to spare between 10:00am and Noon on Tuesday, please consider volunteering at the Crossfit O-Zone Lawrenceville Market. This is prep and setup for the Tuesday Market as well as packaging meat orders for all Markets. Please contact Maryanne at 404-432-4337.

Do you have a Garden this year? What are you growing? Would you like to share pictures and ‘words of wisdom’ with other Gardeners? What items are you canning, freezing, dehydrating to preserve the Harvest to enjoy in the “off season”? Do you have any ‘award winning’ recipes? I would love to include stories, pictures and recipes in the Newsletter! Please send me an email if you are interested in participating! Sharing knowledge, wisdom and recipes help to build community!
After Church, the Black Lab and I will be working in the Garden this afternoon. In addition, I seem to have a nest of what looks like small Carpenter Bees that have nested underground under the ‘portico’ of the Garden Shed. They are not happy when I am in the vicinity and I am not happy that they are there! Any suggestions to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. They are NOT Yellow Jackets or Hornets — they truly look like mini Carpenter Bees!
Last weekend, I was blessed to have the help of Sarah and Tyler Rockey and Austin Smith who came to get some things done that I am unable to do myself! I am most grateful for their help! Yesterday, Sarah and I ‘fenced off’ the area under the stairs and measured for the soon-to-be-built Chicken enclosure. It will be attached to one of the stalls of the barn and they should be happy little hens in their new home!
I wish you all a happy day and a wonderful week!

Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The Black Lab enjoys some everyday!

Do you have a Garden this year? What are you growing? Would you like to share pictures and ‘words of wisdom’ with other Gardeners? What items are you canning, freezing, dehydrating to preserve the Harvest to enjoy in the “off season”? Do you have any ‘award winning’ recipes? I would love to include stories, pictures and recipes in the Newsletter! Please send me an email if you are interested in participating! Sharing knowledge, wisdom and recipes help to build community!
After Church, the Black Lab and I will be working in the Garden this afternoon. In addition, I seem to have a nest of what looks like small Carpenter Bees that have nested underground under the ‘portico’ of the Garden Shed. They are not happy when I am in the vicinity and I am not happy that they are there! Any suggestions to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. They are NOT Yellow Jackets or Hornets — they truly look like mini Carpenter Bees!
Last weekend, I was blessed to have the help of Sarah and Tyler Rockey and Austin Smith who came to get some things done that I am unable to do myself! I am most grateful for their help! Yesterday, Sarah and I ‘fenced off’ the area under the stairs and measured for the soon-to-be-built Chicken enclosure. It will be attached to one of the stalls of the barn and they should be happy little hens in their new home!
I wish you all a happy day and a wonderful week!
It is time to say – thank you for taking the time to read this missive…

Champaign, OH: Into The Mystic
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic…(Van Morrison – Into The Mystic)
Get away, today, on this beautiful and sunny day, to let your soul and spirit fly, as we head out to visit our latest farm tour for our market!
Here is another reminder of the Ruff’s invitation, the direction, and their phone number!
It should be a fun get out of town kind of day. I am looking forward to an afternoon of sun, seeing all of your faces, and a day away from baking!
Here is all the info. you may need…see you, this afternoon!
Lee and Jennifer Ruff of End of the Road Farm would like to invite you on Sunday, June 22nd at 2 pm for a guided farm tour of their sustainable, draft-horse powered homestead. Samples of various goodies made from their sorghum, spelt flour, and pastured eggs will be provided.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes, as you’ll tour the crop fields, mobile chicken and pig pens, two market gardens, and horse paddock/pasture. We ask that children be well supervised, as this is a working farm as well as our home, and as such, buildings are off-limits. We look forward to sharing the afternoon with you, and hope you will join us with questions, enthusiasm, and an interest in seeing how and why we have chosen this wonderful farming life! Thank you!!
Directions from Urbana:
Take State Route 36 East into Fletcher (approximately 18 miles).
At the first stop light in Fletcher, turn left onto State Route 589.
Take the first right at the United Methodist Church – there’s not a street sign, but you’re now on First Street
Stay on First Street past the Yield and Dead End signs – this becomes our driveway!
You’ll see our house number, 455, posted next to the gate as you drive through, and we’ll show you where to park!
455 W. First Street

Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:
Important Reminders, Other Matters and Pertinent Information
Market will close at 6:00pm Monday for the Hamilton Mill Market!
Market will close at 6:00pm Monday for the Lilburn Market!
The Newsletter is sent out each week to give you information pertinent to the Market. You can skip reading it now and find it under the Blog Tab to read later if you want to order immediately.
Volunteers Needed
My heart is warmed by the response to the request for volunteers and we are slowing getting to the point that folks can work just once a month! We still need a few more folks to make that a reality, so if you are interested, please contact Market Chance Claar-Pressley, who is coordinating the volunteers for me. Thank you Chance! You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . Chance tells me that we do need volunteers for July 3rd Market. I realize that the next day is a holiday, but if you could spare a couple of hours, it would be greatly appreciated!
“Thank yous” go out to Kathy and Keb Barnes, Susan Coker, Brigitte Rossi and her son and Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks who all helped out at the Lilburn Market on Thursday.
Sarah Rockey is a STAR! She is the Volunteer for the Hamilton Mill Market and the one responsible for getting all of the coolers and orders in and out of the cars! She sets up the Market with me and gets folks checked out, answers questions and knows all about the products that are offered by the Farmers and Artisans! Although Sarah orders and picks up at the Crossfit O-Zone Lawrenceville Market, she takes the time to help out at Hamilton Mill. Thank you Sarah for your support and belief in the Markets and for your invaluable help!
We still need YOU! The goal is to get enough folks on board so that we can rotate volunteer duties. Can you spare a few hours once a month? Without you as Members, the Market would not exist and now the Market needs your help!
Sarah Heath and Karen Thain have also joined the Volunteers at the Hamilton Mill Market and will be starting with us soon! Thank you, Ladies!
and now for the news…
