Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
Hope everyone is well and enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. We spent the day with my family, had a beautiful meal, did lots of visiting and catching up (I took an unexpected nap in the recliner) and enjoyed the nice weather. Praying the cold front coming in doesn’t stay around too long.
Produce is back online this week. Some of our vendors will be offering specials this week – kind of like a “Black Friday” or “Cyber Monday” sale but it will last Sunday through Wednesday.
Skopp Bakery will be giving away a bag of home made caramels when you purchase at least $10 in items from them. Jams and Jellies make great gifts and are a nice appetizer to take to a party. Just put your favorite jam over cream cheese and serve with crackers or hearty bread. Rikki also makes great scones, granola, loaf breads, artisan breads, and more.
Susi’s Kitchen is offering two mini loaves for $8.00 – gluten free, banana, cranberry or pumpkin; and 1 dozen cookies for $7.00 – any that she has listed online.
I expect there will be additional vendors participating so please watch for additional announcements as I hear from them.
We are thankful for all of our market patrons and wish you many blessings this holiday season!

Carolina Foothills, SC: Market Closed This Week.
Hello all,
Sorry this is late I just realized it is Saturday.
My husband and I decided to stay up all night Wednesday and cook so we could just eat, sleep and play family games on Thursday.
I hope everyone had a safe and happy Turkey Day.
Unfortunately, I had a fear confirmed…….
I have a puppy with Parvo. So far my other 3 dogs appear symptom free but Panda was acting “off” about 3 days before it hit and by the time it was confirmed by a friend (I brought it into my house when she called me over to check out one of her puppies that has been sick since it was born 6 months earlier)Taco was having seizures and on Tuesday (I went over on Monday) and by Thursday she had lost 3 dogs including Taco.
Anyway, by the time it was confirmed on Turkey Day Panda was in very bad shape. So lack of sleep then trying to save my puppies life Friday rolled around and I never even thought about the market.
I couldn’t open it anyway. I seriously doubt any of you that may have ordered would want me go touch your products knowing I am completely submersed in the Parvo Virus.
To try and protect my other dogs I have quarantined myself and Panda in the bedroom and the dogs in the front of the house.
I couldn’t leave if I wanted too.
I would like to give some valuable info though just for future reference. I have a completely herbal remedy that appears to be slowly but surely pulling Panda back from the brink of death. My friend has used it and she brought 4 of her effected dogs back. Hers appeared to recover by the following day. Panda has not recovered as quickly but he is definitely showing signs of improvement. If all goes well and he makes a full recovery I would be.more then happy to share my solution with anyone that prefers natural healing over Meds.
Thank You for understanding,
Susan.

Good evening Locavores,
We hope everyone has been enjoying a wonderful week of Thanksgiving sharing good times and good food with family and friends.
Many thanks to all of you for your fantastic support last week with your market orders and we hope those local food orders helped to make your holiday meals more special.
Your local farmers have had a chance to catch up some winter chores and to nurse crops through some frigid nights. Now we look forward to some warm and sunny days this week to give the vegetables a little boost.
Have a great weekend and enjoy some local winter produce.
