The extras table has been a whole mini-market lately! Don’t forget to check it out when you pick-up your order from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM this Tuesday at the Downtown Russellville Train Depot.
Have you made your list and checked it twice? Get everything you need for the holidays at RCM! Allesafe has tasty treats for guests who need gluten free, dairy free or vegan options. Shoal Creek Farms has beautiful and tasty greens of all kinds- lettuces, chard, basil at least 6 different ways, a variety of microgreens, flowers, fresh ginger and more! Pine Ridge Gardens has turmeric root, bay leaves, and sage available. Maybe their Rosemary crackers would be delicious with the Fromage Blanc dip from Meadowlark Valley! Drewry Farms’ winter squash box is a bargain for a variety of squashes that should keep you stocked until the new year! Maybe a chicken dinner suits your family size better than a turkey? Get fresh whole chicken and other cuts from Young Family Farms! Keep it clean with bar soaps from The Purple Gypsy in Cinnamon Apple Pie, Lavender/Rosemary/Vanilla, Patchouli, Vanilla Bergamot and Winter Mint scents! Jams and jellies are great to have on hand this time of year; they make great impromptu gifts, can help create quick appetizers, sauces for main dishes, or add them to baked goods as ingredients or toppings. Give family and friends near and far (When packed correctly, jam/jellies and fruitcake travel well!) a real taste of the River Valley with local honey, jams/jellies and an enormous variety of baked goods that includes 2 different styles of fruitcake! Don’t forget to treat yourself to a little homemade Christmas candy, too! Let RCM help you create delicious holiday meals, provide convenient options for party foods and gifts and generally help you have a happy holiday season!
