The market opens at 10AM.
Our egg supply is very low this time of year. Like most living things, a chicken’s egg-laying process is greatly affected by the amount of light it is exposed to, decreasing in the winter when there is less than 14 hours of sunlight in the day. If there’s not enough light and warmth to raise a baby chick, then there won’t be any eggs. This period of rest is important to maintaining a healthy flock.

Ancient Awakenings has a new product on the market this week, Spicy Cultured Veggies. These have the same great benefits and recipe as their regular Cultured Veggies, but with added Organic Crushed Red Pepper Flakes. Rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals, these “superfoods” contribute greatly to healing and building your inner ecosystem! Cultured veggies help to improve digestion, alleviate acid reflux and other digestive upsets, and control cravings for sweets. Spicy Cultured Veggies would be great on tacos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Indian Creek Angus has several products on the market this week, including Chuck Roast, Brisket, and several variety packages that include steaks, cube steak, skirt steak, ground beef, short ribs, and boneless stew. One variety pack totals 15 pounds @ $7.50/lb, what a deal!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pet treats
Treat your dog this week — Southern Grass Meat is selling 4-6 lb packages of beef short ribs (broken seal) as pet food.

Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
Wow, what a week. Winter temps in the single digits, then spring temps and thunderstorms, and now back to mild winter temps. I’m sure the farmers are very happy it rained yesterday.
Produce report: Opossum Hollow Produce broke new ground this weekend while the temps were warmer. Tom and Cheryl are expanding their garden area.
In other news, R Family Farm just put 150 Americana chicks in their brooders. Spring will bring beautiful colored eggs. There is something special about going out to the nest box and finding colored eggs mixed in with the brown eggs.
The market is preparing for the new season. Opening day will be April 14th and it will also be our 1st Kids Day of the year. Power of Produce club returns with new programming that we are certain the kids will LOVE! Tastings will continue with the Two Bite Club, and members of the club will receive $2 to spend with the farmers. We are so thankful to the area businesses that sponsor our market – Cobb Vantress, Simmons, Community Physicians Group, Sager Creek Pediatric Clinic, Dr. Kyle Dixon, and Simmons Bank.
We are also very thankful for our customers who faithfully support our local farmers, makers, and bakers. We couldn’t do this without you!
Enjoy shopping this week and see you Saturday!
