ALFN Local Food Club:  Market Reminder & Holiday Pickup Schedule!


Gearing up for a three day Labor Day extravaganza? Don’t forget to order all the noms you’ll need before The Market closes tomorrow at noon. Surely a hot, humid, holiday weekend like this qualifies as a great reason to break out the barbecue and invite over a whole mess of folks. Allow me to suggest some offerings:

  • Italian sausage links from Falling Sky Farm. Seeing the success of their apple brat special last week, these clever farmers have decided to offer the same deal on their delicious Italian sausage. Buy 10 pounds, and you save $1.50 per pound! If you think you’ll never use that much meat, throw one of these babies on a bun with some caramelized peppers and onions, and say hello to your new favorite food!
  • Farm fresh eggs a’plenty from any of our talented, chicken herding farmers. Brown, white, green, or jumbo, these are sure to make the best deviled eggs you’ve ever tasted.
  • Ice cold watermelon from Green Acres Atkins. Short of a blast from the hose, there’s nothing more refreshing than chilled watermelon. This may be the last week we have them, so order now while the getting is good.

All this and more could be yours this Saturday, just in time to throw the best Labor Day bash on the block! On the other hand, if you’ll be out of town this weekend but still want to eat great next week, we’ve got that covered too. We’re moving the Monday pickup to Tuesday so no one has to miss out on The Market’s offerings. That’s right; you can have your cake and eat it too, as long as it’s zucchini bread made with locally produced zucchini and eggs!

South Cumberland Farmer's Market:  No Freezer at the Community Center


Beginning today, there will not be a freezer at the Community Center for the foreseeable future. If you have orders that are left-behind and contain items that would ordinarily go in the freezer, they will be put into the refrigerator.

We strongly suggest not leaving frozen items in the fridge for more than an hour or two beyond the close of market and then only as an extreme emergency.

Martin's Farmstand:  Aug 25


We are starting into the big onion harvest this week. I pulled about 1000 lbs of sweet onions this morning. In the next few days I plan to also do the storage onions. After they are harvested we put them into onion crates so that the air can circulate around them for the curing process. Even after they are cured an onion still wants some air around it for it to store well. Storage temperature for onions is 32F to 80F. If an onion is kept cold for an extended period of time and then is stored warm afterward it will tend to sprout. This is part of the reason that onions sprout so much in the spring as the cellars etc warm up. So it is best to keep onions above 50 if you can not continue to keep them cold. Our market is full of lots of good produce. I hope you can get your share of this good food. Daniel
