Farmers' Market Season is Open

Welcome to Flying S Farms Blog site. We have been busy getting ready for our Market Season. The early Spring rains set us back a little but things are beginning to grow and we've begun harvesting Summer Squash and several cool season vegetables. You can find a complete listing of what we are growing this season on our website under 'Produce', http://www.bakingfarmer.com/ We are offering CSA's (Community Support Agriculture) this season, information is also available on our website. This is a great way to participate in our Farm and receive a wide variety of produce and some delicious Baked items each week.

We will blog here what will be available for the week and as in the past, pre-order are welcomed by calling or emailing us.

We have already started selling our delicious Baked Goods and few veggies at the East Nashville Farmers' Market located at 210 S 10th Avenue on Wednesday from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. If you get a chance, come see us. Find more information about the market on their website http://www.eastnashvillemarket.com/.

On Friday, June 12th, the Rutherford County Farmers' Market will open. It will be at the new location off of John Rice Boulevard, back behind the Rutherford Co. Extension Offices. Market hours are Tuesday and Friday 6am to 11am. Be sure to come early for the best "pickin's".

The following day, June 13th will be opening day for the Cannon County Farmers' Market. Located on the Square around the Courthouse in Woodbury. Hours are Saturdays, 6am to 10am or until produce runs out. We are excited about our local market this season, with the help of an advertising grant you can find out "What's Pickin at the Market" at http://www.cannonfarmersmarket.blogspot.com/ this is made available through our internet newspaper http://www.cannonwire.com/. The local radio station, WBRY, will also be making available a website for the Cannon County Farmers' Market and we'll post that information as it comes available.

You can also find Flying S Farms on the internet at http://www.stonesriverlocallygrown.net/ This is our second season selling with this group. It is a virtual market where you can choose from a list of items available from several vendors including us, place your order and pickup at one of the pickup sites available. Christiana, Murfreesboro and Nashville are some of the pickup sites. This is new to our area and it is a growing thing across the nation; when you can't make it to a Farmers' Market, you can now by way of the internet.

As you can tell, we are going to be busy this season and really looking forward to providing you with a wide variety of Farm Fresh and Locally Grown Produce and Specialty Baking that will make your mouth water for more!

Look forward seeing everyone this Market Season.
