MARKET NEWS
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.
WOW! What wonderful weather we’re having! The morning air is crisp and I’ve seen a few leaves changing! I just love Fall!
As I’m sitting here with my morning cup of coffee I’m reminded of our featured Grower of the week….
This is a family business that takes pride and love in each hand roasted batch they produce! I’m hoping to get her out here for Market so you can sample her delicious coffee!
Highlighted Grower of the Week!
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is a small batch craft coffee roaster located in Bethlehem, Georgia. Their roast philosophy is to roast each bean to bring out the best characteristics of the coffee. Your coffee will arrive with the roast date on the package so you will know that you are drinking coffee at the peak of freshness. Whether you choose a medium or dark roast coffee, a single origin or blend (coming soon) or regular or decaf this means a great cup of coffee for you! Let them help you “Discover the Fresh Roast Difference!”*_
Each week, I want to remind you who our Grower’s are and why they are so special!
I mentioned before that we are expanding the Market and adding new items!
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!*_

My best to all -

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!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse anemones, asters, ferns, herbs, and coral bells are good additions to your fall perennial border.

Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,
Now is the season for preserving the bounty on the Local Farms First market. There are several varieties of kale on the market – try these tips for preserving kale to enjoy it all winter long. I like to blanch and freeze kale so I can avoid grocery store kale as long as possible!
