No Cook Meals
Market Chitchat
Grower Notes
2 HOT 2 COOK
Today, June 6, is supposed to be 7 degrees hotter than yesterday.
This is the time of year I begin the annual mind games to deal with summer heat . . . “only x weeks till mid September.” I choose mid September because the transition between August 31 and September 1 is usually indistinguishable.
With food being a necessary part of our lives there’s no getting around meal prep, BUT, you don’t have to heat up the kitchen! We hope what follows inspires you to enjoy summer’s bounty a little easier.
MARKET CHITCHAT
New & Relisted Products – Woo-Hoo!
- Rice Plus II from Hortons Farm
- Tomatillos from Smart Doc Resources
- CBD/Tumeric Salve from Mayim Farms
- Apricot Meringue Bars from Laura’s Confections
- Baklava from Laura’s Confections
- Willimsburg Orange Cake from Laura’s Confections
- Queen of Sheba Cake from Laura’s Confections
- CBD Medicinal Cream from Smart Doc Resources
- Baby Yellow Tomatoes from Smart Doc Resources
THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
Grier Acres: The past weeks has been a tough one. Still combating bugs on our plants combined with the struggles of no water source. We do have large totes and a church allowed us to fill our containers but is labor intensive. We are missing a lot of the rain that others are getting. Our squash plants are green but just not producing. Our chickens and woodpeckers have been eating a lot of blueberries. Jeannie did snag about 1.5 cups last weekend for pancakes. But we are GRATEFUL. Last year we didn’t get any. Must always see the silver lining.
AVALON FARMS: It’s good to be back! It was great not having market responsibilities last week, but it seemed so weird. Most of the time I wasn’t sure what day of the week it was or what I was supposed to be doing. On a normal market week tasks are divided up over certain days to keep me on track. No market meant no market related tasks which confused things. Ha ha
Fresh garlic is SO MUCH easier to peel. I didn’t know that. It makes life so much easier. You can actually peel them with your fingers. No knife or peeler required. And there is no hard bit of seed plate on the end! The cloves come out shiny and very tender. If you smash one of these with the flat of your knife it is FLAT.
Working on the plan for the fall and winter garden. I’m open to suggestions. Anybody hungry for anything in particular?
MARY’S PEEPS: Mary sends greetings and that she misses her Market friends. She’s been occupied with taking care of family needs these last few months and asks that if anyone needs anything special to let her know.

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.
If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in 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 or call Andrew at 770.530.3287

Also, free corn on the cob will be given out at the seasonal eating booth! Canning and freezing demos will be held at Ag South Kitchen across the street from the market with techniques for putting up sweet corn.
Growing Together : Availability for July 6th!
Can you believe we are already into July?
We have been blessed with plenty of rain so far this season, and the summer crops are loving it. We have tomatoes, beans, and peppers of all kinds coming coming in slowly but surely. Next up should be okra and bitter gourd. The greens are mostly done for now, but will return with the cooler temperatures of Fall.
A green we will continue to have is Lamb’s Quarters, what the farmers call “Bhetu” in their Nepali. This is a common wild edible in Tennessee. It is related to spinach and swiss chard, and can be used in similar ways. Try is sauteed on the side, in a frittata, or in this spread recipe below!
Lamb’s-quarters Spread
adapted From THE WILD VEGETARIAN COOKBOOK Eat it with cucumbers, crackers, or as a sandwich spread or a pasta topping.
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 small red or white onion, peeled
2 cups lamb’s-quarters leaves
1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted (I didn’t have one so I used 1/3 cup olive oil)
1/2 cup toasted nuts (I used almonds, the original called for 1 cup walnuts)
1/3 cup pitted kalamta olives (the original called for: One 6-ounce jar low-sodium pitted olives, drained)
2 tablespoons mellow (light-colored) miso
1 tablespoon chili paste or 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
1. Chop the garlic in a food processor or by hand.
2. Add the onion and chop.
3. Add the remaining ingredients and process or chop until finely chopped.
Lamb’s-quarters Spread will keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
Makes 2 1/2 cups
The farmers appreciate all the wonderful support!
We always appreciate feedback or questions about the produce, so we can do our best to get the highest quality products to you! Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Happy weekend!

Augusta Locally Grown: The Market is Open!
Friends,
We have moved in to our new “Downtown” market location and we couldn’t be happier. We can only dream that our deeper partnership with Buona Caffe, one of our long-time market vendors and supporter of all things local, will flourish for many years (and then a few more for good measure).
Our new downtown pick up location is at their Reynolds St Roastery, Training and Showroom. Customers who select “Downtown” as their location should pick up at 520 Reynolds Street between 5pm-7pm.
So much gratitude to Pat & John Curry Buona Caffe for opening a new door full of future opportunity for Augusta Locally Grown!!
