Market News
Welcome back to another week of locally grown and made products. Did all of you get the frost this morning like we did at the farm? I will update my inventory later this morning after inspecting the fields for damage. Flying S Farms received a pretty heavy frost as well as evidenced by the picture Catherine sent me.
Other news sent from our vendors:
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some beautiful fall-flowering anemone and aster plants just budding up nicely. Several varieties of the ferns, lots of herbs, colorful coral bells, and the gauras are beautiful in the fall. Now is the ideal time to plant perennials: cooler evening temperatures (and daytime too!) will develop good strong root systems for good winter survival and spring bloom. Build up your perennial garden now!
Nuance Coffee & Tea has added a new coffee and a new fruit (tea) this week. The coffee is from East Timor and has notes of cocoa, Granny Smith apple, and hops with balanced acidity. The fruit (tea), called Cascara, is very unique and made from the outer husk of coffee beans known as the Coffee Cherry. It has notes of baked apple, dark rum, mulling spice, brown sugar and raisin. Perfect for Autumn. Enjoy!
Rocky Glade Farm has fresh baby ginger. From Julie – "_This is our first year to grow that, but looks interesting! I have put a good description I think, but you can store in refrigerator for a few weeks, but for long term you can candy it, make it into syrup, or freeze it and grate or cut off what is needed and return unused portion to the freezer.
Ginger is great for making fresh ginger cookies, cakes, adding to tea and smoothies, or adding to stir fries and cooked greens dishes like kale.
We also have Covington Sweet potatoes a nice orange skin/orange flesh sweet potato that are good baking size.
Red Gold potatoes are also new for us this week. they are medium in size and suitable for all potato cooking purposes especially roasting._"
White City Produce and Greenhouse has added her mums to the Market.
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! If you have created a dish and want to share with everyone, please send it to me.
With sweet potatoes finally appearing on the Market, our recipe today comes from Chef Jenny
16 oz sweet potatoes, sliced in half (lengthwise), then cut in lengthwise wedges, like large steak fries (Cut in half if they are very long potatoes.)
2 tbsp olive oil, plus a bit more for the baking sheet
1 tbsp paprika, or more to your taste
salt and pepper, to taste
2 bags of Seeds of Success
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Put the potatoes in a bowl. Pour the olive oil on top of the potatoes. Shake the bowl to coat the sweet potatoes.
3. Place the potatoes, skins down, on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
4. Sprinkle paprika, salt, and pepper on the potatoes.
5. Bake and check after 15 minutes for tenderness. They may need 5 more minutes, depending on the thickness.
6. If you want the sweet potatoes crispy, broil them for 3 – 4 minutes. Set a timer, so they do not burn.
7. Top the sweet potatoes with Seeds of Success: Pumpkin Spice flavor or Sweet & Salty.
Recipe Tips
1. You can dip these sweet potatoes in a mixture of Ranch dressing and chipotle Tabasco seasoning.
2. You can enjoy these potatoes for lunch with a kale salad or a sandwich.
3. You can serve Shake & Bake Sweet Potatoes hot or at room temperature.

Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville : "Bits and Bites" October 5, 2014
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 Crossfit / Lawrenceville Market Members:
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the weekend with family and/or friends!
It was a chilly 31 degrees this morning with beautiful blue skies and gorgeous views. I couldn’t ask for a prettier place to call home!
Lauren Stephens is coordinating the Crossfit O-Zone / Lawrenceville Market. I am sure that most of you have met her by now! She is most friendly and helpful and I appreciate the great job she is doing at Market!
Please put her phone number in your contact list so if you have any issues on Market day you can contact Lauren directly.
Crossfit O-Zone/ The Lawrenceville Market will pickup between 4:30 and 6:30pm on Thursday. If you are unable to pick up during this time frame, please let Lauren know. Since this location has ‘permanent space’, alternate arrangements are possible, but you will need to let her know that is your intention!
Market News
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks will no longer be baking for us. To our Gluten Free Members, including yours truly, this is definitely not-a-good thing! Marie’s bakery items consistently ‘wowed’ us all and we have become spoiled with all the truly excellent Gluten Free items she offered to us. Although it is with a very heavy heart that I say goodbye, I wish her God’s continued blessings in her journey. Marie is very involved in volunteer activities and her family. Perhaps if her situation changes, she will be back. She has touched our lives with her energy, goodness, spirit, integrity and love and I am grateful!
New Farmer
Please join me in welcoming Tammy and Jeff Sosby of Peacefield Farm! Here is what Tammy has to tell us about their family farm:
“Peacefield Farm is a family owned and operated farm. The farm has been in the family since the mid 1800`s. We have strong Christian beliefs. We strive to offer the best healthy,naturally grown produce the way God intended it to be. We are certified naturally grown. We follow the national organic guidelines. We offer hydroponic tomatoes year round,and seasonal produce that we grow outside on raised beds with drip irrigation from our wells,and inside high tunnel houses on raised beds. We make our on compost with all plant materials using no animal manure and we make our own organic fertilizer as a supplement to the compost. Thus providing healthy grown produce leaving a small footprint in the environment. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. May God bless you.”
To start out, Peacefield Farm is offering: Red Potatoes, Green Tomatoes and Red Beefsteak Tomatoes! I will be ordering some of each! Welcome Tammy and Jeff! We will see you soon as Farmer of the Week!
Vicky and Steve of Fry Farm are back this week with some new Winter Veggies for us. They include: Arugula, Mustard Greens, Mixed Sweet Peppers and Popcorn (both on and off the cob)! I have had several folks ask if this is GMO free! And the answer is Yes! Vicky and Steve are Certified Naturally Grown and use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides! This Popcorn is FABULOUS! Buying it on the cob is a good lesson for the children in where popcorn comes from… letting them twist and turn the ears in their little hands to remove the kernels will be a fun activity! (and keep them busy for a bit!)
I urge every Member to read the Grower Guidelines which delineate the requirements for Farmer participation in the Market.
Doug of Doug’s Garden is waiting for Mother Nature to finish with his Winter veggies and he believes he will have items to offer next week!
Ricky Brown of Back River Farm is also waiting for Winter Veggies to harvest. At present, Ricky is offering: Peppers and Eggplant! Keep an eye out for other items in the next week!
Andrew and his crew at The Veggie Patch have a plethora of Winter Seedlings, (oh, how I miss my garden!) Herbs and Veggies. In addition, they also offer some Ready to Eat Products…sauces, soups, pickles..be sure and check them out!

I am slowing unpacking and organizing! What a chore! Sarah came up today and toted boxes up from the basement, so I have LOTS to do this week!
The Black Lab continues to guard the Homestead and is most displeased that the dogs who live nearby are allowed to roam free and he is not! He lets me know that they are ‘in sight’ by his really annoying high-pitched bark/whine/cry! It is most infuriating/bothersome/exasperating! If anyone has any suggestions, believe me I am more than happy to listen!

Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!
Don’t forget to order your favorite items online and pick them up at the market on Saturday!
The last market in the park will be October 25th. The first online order pick up date after market ends will be November 1st and we have a new pick up location. We will be located in the conference room adjacent to the new Main Street Siloam office, located in the parking lot where the food trucks are set up.

ALFN Local Food Club: The Market is Open!
Welcome back market,
Looks like Autumn came on strong while we took the week off. In the midst of falling leaves and artificial pumpkin spiced-everything, there’s still loads of local food to warm our souls. We even gained some new growers while you were gone. So rejoice! The market is back open with lots of new products!
- We’ve still got a few tickets left for our Fall Fundraiser: Foodcraft coming up this weekend. Learn new culinary skills from some of the most talented foodies around all while supporting your Arkansas Local Food Network. Tickets can either be bought through the market under ALFN Tickets and Gifts or through our eventbrite.
- A big market welcome to Birds & Bees Honey and their 100% pure, raw, and chemical-free honey straight outta South Arkansas. This honey is bursting with wild sweetness and comes with a whole host of health benefits.
- Another market welcome goes out to Crescent Creek Farm and their pasture-raised eggs. These eggs are from hens that are rotated across pastures where they are free to feel the wind in their feathers, pick the ground for delicious bugs, and generally embrace their chicken-ness in a natural, stress-free setting.
- Beautiful greens are back from Bee in my Bonnet Farm. Collard greens are basically meant for the crock-pot, dino kale would be great in a massaged salad, and her red russian kale should be scrumptious sauteed.
- Homegrown honeydew from Barnhill Orchards. Check out the specials section to get a great deal on matching a melon with their pears and/or cantaloupe.
- More muscadines, now from Kornegay Berry Farm. Turns out they’re not all that hard to de-seed, and it’s well worth it for this simple and delicious dump cake.
We’re so excited that the inaugural St. Joseph Farm Fest is just two weeks away! Farm Fest is a weekend celebration of sustainable agriculture and healthy lifestyles presented by St. Joseph Farm and the Farm and Food Innovation Center.
Join us during two days of farm tours, speakers, artisan craft demonstrations, local music, and good food and drinks at St. Joseph Farm in North Little Rock. You can donate here to help make this amazing festival happen and purchase tickets here to join in on the Fall fun.
Happy Autumn Eating!
- Alex Handfinger

MARKET NEWS
So many new things are happening at the Market!
We are carrying natural laundry products, jams and are working to bring more items in the coming months! So watch for that!!
I will be reaching out this coming week to those who expressed an interest in purchasing cold expelled coconut oil and fermented cod liver oil. Things for responding!
I’m really enjoying meeting all of you who come and support the Market! In case I haven’t gotten to talk to you except to just fill your order, my name is Cheryl and I’m the “new” kid on the block! I’ve known Pilar for a little while now and came to help out on the Farm this Summer. I’m the “Kombucha Girl” who has helped get a long awaited dream of Pilar’s off the ground! She believes in fermented and nutrient dense foods so this is one of many things we are planning to add to the Market.
I studied and received my certification as health and wellness coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition so the Market is important to me for the health and wellness of all of you!
If you have anything you wish we would carry, please reach out to me and let me know!
We are going to be offering gift baskets for the Holidays! How fun to give someone a basket of yummy natural products to pamper themselves with! We will keep you posted on those!
Look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday!
Grateful for each and every one of you!!
Shop often and eat well!
