Opening Bell: Apples, Pumpkins, Peppers, Bacon!


Good afternoon!
Tomorrow is October already! Or finally. Check out this wonderful chile pepper from Cedar Rock Ridge: the Fresno Chile! Great for dehydrating, smoking, eating fresh, in stir-fry, or stuffed with sausage or cream cheese. Very versatile. Enjoy like Jalapenos, which we have plenty of too. We should have Peppers until frost, and some root crops are coming in now.

Several new Members asked why we collect egg shells at every market. Hens need a steady supply of calcium to produce eggs. If they don’t get enough in their diet, the calcium comes from their bones! To prevent that, we crush the eggshells and give them back to the hens to be recycled into beautiful new eggshells! Aren’t chickens awesome!

Tammy Sue won’t be able to list her Soaps and Lotions until November since she will be traveling for shows the whole month. We will still have a small inventory of her items on the Extras table. Rockwood Crafts has the Lotion and Sanitizer sets on sale for only $2.75. Great to carry in your car or purse/manbag.

Check out the Sweet Potatoes now being harvested for you from Drewry Orchard. Buy in bulk or 3 pound bag.

Brighten someone’s day (or week) and order a beautiful fresh cut bouquet from Bell Urban Farm. They last a long time and look amazing!

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 575 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
