Check out our Markets Craft Section, several useful items especially the theraputic beads from Bead Wench, Thweatt Things has added new items, Periwinkle and Pine has beautiful wreaths for every season.
Thweatt Things: The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week. Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender. Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes. Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.
Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. You can cut them up and fry or sautee them. Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good. Japanese Eggplant: prepare in various ways including grilling, which will give them a smoky flavor!
Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.*
We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!

Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market: This Week at the Market
Ahhhhhh….RAIN! That was such a wonderful way to wash away that heat and humidity. Did you feel that 75 degree coolness?!!! I’m so glad the gardens got a good soaking too.
We’ve got some microgreens added this week. A great way to get flavor and vitamins added to your salads, sandwiches, eggs and more.
The apples were a big hit so I’ll keep those stocked for the rest of the year. My granddaughter like that idea – she had a blast at the apple barn!
I will be headed to FL after I set out your orders Saturday. I will still have my sons home, but if you forget to pick up, I won’t be here to remind you! Also, if you know you are going to pick up late in the afternoon, let me know and I will set your cooler further back so the sun doesn’t get to it.
Since I will be getting back late in the week, there will be no market on 9/9. It is also the anniversary of my husband’s passing so we will take this day be with family and celebrate our memory of his life.
Also, for those of you that asked, my daughter is doing fine now. Baby Bo is expected in December!
Have a great week!

Martin's Farmstand: Weblog Entry
The farmstand is packed with good food today. I have over 100 dozen sweet corn . This is available by each, dozens or the bagful. The onion harvest is about half finished. Thursday we filled 125 crates of mostly yellow storage onions. Bulk onion prices is the same as last year. Most kinds $20 per 25 lb bag or fill your own box from the display. Storage garlic is dry and ready to purchase ($6 LB for 5 plus lbs). This is the peak of watermelon and cantaloupe season. Enjoy them now as autumn comes quickly and with that another set of good foods to enjoy from the garden. We already have the first winter squash out for sale today. This year we plan to end summer hours (and start late fall hours) in early November when daylight savings time ends rather than at Thanksgiving. Late fall hours will continue till Christmas. You may have heard that I am thinking about retirement and selling this business. It is true. For more details see the letter that is at the farmstand and posted on facebook. At the moment there is no price set and no fixed timeline for this. I am still planting cover crops and preparing ground to plant strawberries and everything else in 2024. I bought lime to lime the fields this fall. If I am not still at the helm next year I hope to have passed it on to a capable successor. We have the full amount of young healthy strawberries planted and anticipate abundant strawberries in June of next year. We plan to keep the old farm over at Southville Corners for the forseeable future. Daniel
