We Received an E-mail From Jennifer, but No Last Name
Jennifer — Please send us an e-mail directly to cumberlandfm@gmail.com regarding the account question you asked. We are unable to reply in the format you used, as it is a third party e-mail redirector, and we don’t have your last name in your e-mail.
Thanks!

Farmer Browns and Dogwood Valley Greenhouse Announcements
Two additional announcements — check these out!
A new evolution of Space Violets has happened. In a sensational effort that launched African Violets into a new frontier, the Optimara Space Violet program put more than 25,000 seeds into orbit for nearly SIX YEARS! This unusual step in the annals of potted and flowering plants, turned out to be one giant leap that has produced significant and exciting characteristics for African violets. Now for the first time, these characteristics are available in a series dedicated exclusively to Space violets. The EverFloris series is comprised entirely of African violets that have been developed from the Space violet program. They are bigger and easier to grow, with larger, fuller blooms that flower continuously. Unless they’re Space violets, there’s no place on earth you will find African Violets like these. Farmer Brown will have all of the different variants in this series. Plants will be in a self-watering Hydroponic unit, comprising of a beautiful Cobalt Blue Glass or Emerald Green Bordeaux Wine Bottle, cut especially for these plants
They will Be displayed at the fall Craft Fair, Nov 21st at the McMinnville Civic Center. Of course, they are for sale. We will take advanced reservation orders as supplies are very limited. Photos are provided courtesy of the grower and represent full-grown plants. Check us out on Facebook at: Farmer Brown’s Hydroponic Gardens for pictures.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has some beautiful fall-flowering anemone and aster plants just budding up nicely. Several varieties of the ferns, lots of herbs, colorful coral bells, and the gauras are beautiful in the fall. Now is the ideal time to plant perennials: cooler evening temperatures (and daytime too!) will develop good strong root systems for good winter survival and spring bloom. Build up your perennial garden now!

ONLY 4 MORE WEEKS
After October 28th, the market will no longer offer home delivery. Perhaps you could arrange with a friend/neighbor to pick up one week, and you take the next week.
You could also leave your order behind, but it MUST be picked up within 24 hours, i.e. 6 p.m. Wednesday. If the order is not picked up, it will be disposed of, and you must still pay for it. Please remember, other markets do not offer this service; we are trying to be as accommodating as possible within the restraints of the Community Center. As of this writing, there is still no freezer in the Center, so it is imperative your orders be picked up.
If you or someone you know may be interested in delivering to customers in Monteagle or Sewanee, please call Linda at 931-592-8384. -————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Poultry Processing Plant for Sale
We wanted to let your group know that we are selling our poultry plant! It is not for a lack of business, we can assure you. Quite the contrary: our business has grown faster than expected and more than these old bones can keep up with. So for health reasons, we are searching for a buyer who will continue the effort we started, which was to bring affordable and convenient USDA poultry processing to Tennessee. We met our goal and then some. Our customer base comes to us from all parts of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. We have had requests for ducks and quail, and even emu! Now that the hard part is done, ie; building a plant and creating a HACCP plan that passes federal regulations, the business is poised to really take off for the right person (or people).
The sale price will include the plant, equipment, HACCP plan, staff, customer base and training. The plant sits on 5 cross fenced acres with a 3/2 house, pond and barn and is located in White County near Sparta and just 20 miles south of Cookeville. The new owner merely needs to take a short HACCP class and request their own grant of inspection which will be simple since the building, plan and staff are already approved and proven.
We are still booking appointments and processing until the right person comes along to continue what we began. Please pass this information on to any interested parties you may know. Please call for price and details. Thank you for any assistance you might give.
Sincerely,
Mary Malamatos
