ALFN Local Food Club:  The Market Is Open


I can’t get over the diverse array of items available on the open market this week. Tomatoes are officially here from Green Acres along with cabbages, beets, sweet potatoes and cauliflower. Don’t forgot the fantastic selection of meats available from chicken to goat. Yes sirree bob, this is quite a full market!

We have a new grower to join the market this weekend. KMG is located out in Perry County. They operate a diverse farm with meat, veggies and fruit. They will continue to post new items in the next couple of weeks, but for now, they are promoting their turkey deposits for Thanksgiving. Check out their grower page and facebook page!

We have fun new ALFN merchandise this week. Check out the new ALFN T-shirts, totes and aprons in the ALFN Merchandise section of the market. Proceeds help to fund everything we do! We will also have them out on a table on Saturday so everyone can see them.

Also, you have one more week to put an order in for dry goods before we make our first bulk purchase. Deliver will be at the end of June. Once we get our first delivery, we should be able to start offering these grain products without a long wait period. Check out what we have to offer here: Dry Goods

Take care,

Tullahoma Locally Grown:  It is June and Your Market is Open


Good evening.

Your Tullahoma Locally Grown Market is open.

Remember when we announced that Thanksgiving Turkeys are available for pre-order from Fountain Springs Farm? Well, there is a limited amount available, so the sooner you place your order, the better. You will find “Turkey Deposit” listed in the Meat/Turkey category. Be sure to indicate your desired weight between 14-22 lbs when you place your order.

In November, you will receive a turkey close to the weight you requested and pay the balance based on $3.75 per pound. This is a whole turkey with giblets. Do not worry, we will send reminders closer to November so you do not buy a frozen turkey.

YOUR MARKET IS CURRENTLY OPEN.
Now is a great time to order meat for your weekend cookouts and other items you need for the week. You can order bread, eggs, milk, vegetables, herbs, meat, freshly roasted coffee, candles, and more. Consider a made-to-order loaf of English Breakfast Toasting Bread or a half-dozen Jumbo Pretzel Rolls. Both of these breads are made from scratch on market day.

Your local market closes at noon on Wednesday. Order now before your favorite items run out.

Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market

Thank you for your support. Have a great day,
