Online Market is Open!!


www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net

This Saturday is Samples of the Season at the market! Join us under the pergola in front of the kitchen and get a taste of a few of the seasonal items available at market. Sampling begins at 9 a.m and ends when the samples run out.

One of our favorite musicians will be here Saturday – Sam Thompson. He will play from 10-noon.

Tomatoes have made it to market! I’ve purchased slicers and cherry tomatoes. There are still greens like chard and kale, lettuce, green beans, potatoes, squash and zucchini, onions, garlic, cucumbers, and okra should soon debut. We’ve got some great locally made baked goods, hot jams (think jalapeno lemon, mango jalapeno, blueberry jalapeno, etc), regular fruit jams, local pecans, pies, eggs, poultry and pork. Blueberry season is almost over and the sweetest berries this season are being picked now. If you’ve been waiting now is the time to get them before the season is over!

You can buy hand crafted cutting boards, rolling pins, and more. Thomas Stanford, a local artist, is accepting commissioned work. Check out his beautiful art displayed in his booth. Ding-A-Ling Designs makes the most amazing aprons – one of my favorites is her harvesting apron. Perennial Gardens has beautiful bedding plants, herbs, and flowers. Get some mustard and use it to make a dressing for salad, a dip for fresh veggies, or a marinade for meats.

Nice Ice has joined us at market on Saturdays so you can cool off with a sno cone. The kids can play in the water feature while you listen to music and then your family can get a lunch from Little Free Lunch at 11:30. Start your Saturday morning at the farmers market in beautiful Memorial Park!

Our online market is low on inventory right now because the farmers are bringing everything to the market. You can get your chicken and pork at from the vendors directly even though it doesn’t show up online. You can pre-order eggs, pies, and gourmet mustards.

Have a great week and see you Saturday!
