Russellville Community Market:  1/14/24 closing


To ensure your order is placed, make sure you click the “Place My Order” button once you have completed your shopping. You will receive a confirmation email.

Be sure to check out our amazing extras table when you pick up your order from 4-7 PM on Tuesday!

The weather is less than ideal this week, but it’s a great time to stock up on local groceries! Fill your freezer with tasty beef from R&D, C3Beef or Michael’s Garden and fantastic heritage breed pork from Porch Swing Farms! R&D has fajita meat for a great family meal, Michael’s Garden has short ribs on sale, a C3Beef value pack is a deal and a Porch Swing Farms pork roast sounds like a great idea for a chilly day! Besides the selection of amazing breakfast sausage from our vendors, R&D has chorizo and Porch Swing Farms has a spicy Italian sausage if you are looking for something to warm you up! Our talented bakers have a huge selection of bread and baked treats! Have you tried Cecelia and Otis’ tasty scones? Maple Brook, our newest baker has some yummy looking applesauce cookies, Kaitlyn’s Sweets and Treats brownie bites can satisfy your chocolate craving and Isn’t She Sweet’s strawberry bread or cinnamon rolls sound like a treat that’s great for breakfast or dessert! We are glad to have Pleasant View back from a break; if you have been missing her English muffins or artisan bread, they are available for you this week! Victoria’s Little Bread House has introduced a chocolate sourdough sweet roll and a sourdough baguette this week; both sound tasty! Stay warm with some Retro Roasts coffee, plan an amazing meal with some handcrafted pasta from Wild Hare Nursery, and make sure to get some jams and jellies or Rural Route honey to go with those baked goods! Lucky Star has a white peach jam and Kourtney’s Country Canning and More has a lovely beautyberry jelly and some homemade marshmallows for your hot chocolate! There are still fresh mushrooms available; get them while they are ready and add taste and nutrition to your recipes! A winter squash box from Drewry is a great deal on a supply of winter squashes for you to sample and their apples are crisp and refreshing in a season where fresh produce is not as plentiful! It is definitely a tough week for vegetables but there are still collards and mustard available and more to come as soon as the weather is nicer! Stay warm this afternoon and shop online! Remember to tell your friends about the great local goods you get from RCM’s vendors!

The Wednesday Market:  The Market is Open


Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

My family is spending the weekend preparing for the frigid weather that is expected to arrive early next week. The houseplants which have been happy so far to live on the front porch are migrating inside. We are also trying to weatherproof some of the plumbing. We’ve lived in this 1890 home for nearly 26 years. In all of that time, only two or three times our pipes have frozen. One of those instances was in December 2021 when the temperature dropped to 9 degrees. Fortunately, the frozen pipe was in a downstairs bathroom and did not burst. It just took all day to thaw, which was a minor inconvenience. Nevertheless, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!

May you all have a good weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market. Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown.

Thanks,

Beverly

P.S. If you have questions about your order or if you need to contact us, please start with Nelda, as she is our primary market manager. I (Beverly) am also available, but I may not reply immediately. You may contact us by text, email, or phone call.

Martin's Farmstand:  Hickory firewood


The farmstand is open today from noon till 5 pm. Our winter schedule has us opening every Saturday afternoon. In the spring once the asparagus harvest starts summer hours will resume.
We have an abundance of firewood for sale. There was a significant amount of hickory trees mixed into our sugar bush that were crowding the maples and also supporting a large population of red squirrels (which chew holes in tubing). Over the last few weeks we thinned them out. I have a large pile of hickory firewood that I plan to be cutting, splitting and hauling in the early spring. I am asking $70 cord for close delivery and $60 if you pick-up. I am taking orders now. I also have 25 cords of dry firewood that is stacked under- roof that is extra. This sells for $90 cord (u pick up). Daniel
