The Wednesday Market:  Ready to Order? We're Open!


Good afternoon, and happy Saturday!

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

We welcome Ferg’s Family Farm to the Market this week. You can learn more about them by reviewing their profile under the “Our Growers” tab on the website. Among the products they sell are eggs, fresh fruits, honey, vegetables, flowers, hanging baskets, and tomato plants.

As new producers join The Wednesday Market, we encourage our customers to support these local businesses. “The supply is there. The food is there. The quality is there. We just need to make sure the demand is there as well. Consumers often ask what they can do to help our Georgia farmers and the answer is simple. Expect Georgia Grown, ask for Georgia Grown and buy Georgia Grown.” – Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary W. Black

Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market!

Thanks,

Beverly

P.S. If you have questions about your order, please contact Nelda. She is available by text, email, or phone call.

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Market is open for orders!


Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!

Go to the market >>
Produce
Pastured Meats
Pastured Eggs
Naturally Fermented Foods
Baked Goods with Organic Ingredients
See All Products

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!

Champaign, OH:  Summer Breeze


Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind…
(Seals & Croft)

I know that it is not yet summer, but today, when I was outside, harvesting the small batch Lettuce Be Groovy orders, there was such a nice breeze, no humidity, and a beautiful golden haze to the early part of the day. I had this song running through my head, the rest of the day.

Thank you, once again, for another lovely market of orders!! I love the love that you give to this little local market!

Once again, Thursday evening is here, and that means the market will reopen for your weekly orders!!

Also, I bought a bunch of JC Grower’s radishes, and wow!!!! The best!!! Grab some while they are in season!!

Same for the asparagus…we never know how the weather will determine it’s already short seasonal life span, so don’t miss out on Harrigan’s Harvest Asparagus!!

Hippie and the Farmer have put the Lettuce Be Groovy Lettuce on vacation mode, while it regenerates!! As soon as the plants are mature enough, again, I will add it back!! Remember, this is an experiment in small batch lettuce, and quite fun and interesting!!

Ok, do your thing…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Thanks for everyone that placed kreppel orders – they are delicious. Mark your calendars for the next kreppel Tuesday June 11th.

I did add some of the Milagro lettuce to the order form – these are the butterheads that you might have noticed in the farm store today. We also have Muir lettuce for next week! We also have lots of mint, chard, kale, cilantro, thyme and asparagus for this week.

And remember that the flour sale continues for this Friday. We have added 5 lb bags too. Flour is stored in the large fridge in the store.
