Bluebird Hill Berry Farms has free range turkeys available for your holiday celebrations, so buy now to reserve those fresh nitrite-free birds.

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!

Farm News of the Week


Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles writes:
With the fall season comes some wonderful treats, Country Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Fall sugar cookies done up in all the wonderful colors of red, orange, purples and yellows. I have been busy doing up pumpkins in the last couple of days for all my wonderful pumpkin deserts the favored Pumpkin rolls, and pumpkin cookies and oh yes Let’s not forget the wonderful delicious smells of pumpkin pie. Then with Cooler weather comes home made yeast bread the perfect addition to soups and chili’s. All my baked goods are prepared fresh from scratch, why not enjoy something delicious as we enjoy the fall season.

Molly also has a late addition to the market: Ole Fashioned Yeast Bread, about which she says: made the way Grandma used to make. This is a twice risen bread and baked to perfection. Then lightly buttered on the outside while still warm.
