Faith Mountain Farm is celebrating the change of seasons with a fall decoration special: 1 corn shock, 2 pumpkins, 4 small pumpkins or gourds, and 1 bunch of zinnias or sunflowers. There will also be plenty of your favorite granola, cranberry pecan scones, cinnamon rolls, and fresh whole grain breads. Just across the way Mountain Memories Farm will be having a special on lamb racks this Saturday, at two dollars a pound off. They will also have farm fresh eggs from happy free range chickens, natural and healthy lamb fresh processed this week and all cuts available without antibiotics or hormones.

Watauga River Farms will have plenty of hot and mild sausage, pork chops, ribs, carrots, lettuce, collards, lambsquarters, spinach, chard, garlic for eating and for planting, stringless green beans, squash, onions, loofah gourds, cabbage and red and Yukon gold potatoes. Jeff Thomas of Creeksong Farm will have the first picking of stringless green beans, baby lettuce, spinach, and a new supply of our all natural beef, which is 95% grass fed. Ann Rose of Rose Mountain Farm will have fresh pork chops, ground, ribs, sausage hot and mild, whole chickens and mixed herbs.

AB Farms will have deliciously healthy wheatgrass shots and flats, luscious red and green peppers both hot and sweet, colorful fall gourds and pumpkins, sweet red and gold beets, an assorted variety of plump potatoes, and many other tasty treats.

Watauga County Farmers' Market would like to encourage everyone to bring their own bags to hold their purchases. Plastic bags not only pollute the very ground that our food comes from when they are made and when they are discarded, but they are an extra expense to the farmers. We do appreciate that many of you are already doing this.

Find us every Saturday morning and on Wednesday afternoons from 4-7 at the Horn in the West in Boone. Turn next to First Citizens Bank on Highway 105 Extension and go to the top of the hill. Call WCFM manager Karen Bauman at 1-828-355-4918 for more information. We will be there rain or shine!
