Farm News of the Week


It’s almost time for cooler-weather crops like kale, broccoli, and winter squash. Frontier Family Farm has added the first of the fall lineup, Sweet Potatoes, to the market this week.


Knottynuffacres items are unavailable on the market this week, while Debbie is entertaining hurricane evacuees. We hope to see her back next week, as we pray that her family’s belongings are all safe from the storm!



Wayne Diller has added several cuts of chicken to the market: breasts, drumsticks, thighs, giblets, livers, soup stock, and chicken feet. His broilers were raised on organic pasture with non GMO grain; no hormones or antibiotics. USDA approved processing.

Chicken Breasts, Drumsticks, and Feet.
“Why feet?” you ask.
“Because your body needs lots of vitamins, trace minerals, collagen, and calcium.” Glad you asked.

Important Ordering and Pickup Information

SMART DOC FARMS

Hi.  My name is Virginia Schafer.  I am a retired DC, MD and am currently a medical Writer who loves to combine my passions of  farming and medicine. You will see more about me later.

For now I want to tell you about our hydroponics.  I got interested in this system when a company moved into our small county when I lived in South Carolina. I was offered a nice system at a really good price from an ex-marijuana grower. At that time my nonprofit helped people get jobs so we trained in hydro via a benefactor and Clemson University.  As a matter of fact we went to every class we could get ! We started hydro in my wine cellar and grew lettuce and kale…which we donated to FOODSHARE.

Through another turn of events, I landed up in Dothan with a small pecan farm (yep…they will be on our list!) and a small workshop (where the previous owner did pepper sauce!). So we (yep I brought some of my friends) started hydro and after a few experimental runs… will be offering  herbs, lettuce, kale and microgreens hopefully by mid October. If you have never had hydro salad you are in for a treat and will never eat grocery lettuce/greens again! We will also be doing tomatoes and peppers soon. Yes it is all organic, pest free (no insecticides), just yummy natural nutrients and growth mediums. More on hydroponics and Smart Doc Resources coming soon. God puts you where you are supposed to be so I am excited to be in Dothan (3 months!) and part of Market at Dothan.

Mrs. Virginia, we are beyond excited to welcome you!

THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES

We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.

GRIER ACRES: Grier Acres was in Washington DC last week.  Harry attended his annual convention of Small business Development Centers while Jeannie played tourist.  However Harry did escape the confines of the hotel once or twice to roam around and see the sights. One of the places we visited was the United States Department of Agriculture!


The place is huge.  It covers an entire city block with all of the add ons that have taken place over the years.  One nice thing to see was a fairly good size garden on the corner of 12th & Jefferson. Each Friday they have a farmers market to sell their goods as well as local farmers.

BAIN HOME GARDENS: Marketeers!
    First off, to those who have friends or family in the paths of the most recent storms we hope they are well. We sit with you on pins and needles as we have family & friends who are in a tough spot right now as well. This time of year is always difficult. Although no one wants to hear they are in the path of a hurricane, EVERYONE should be prepared.  Our family recently completed an ongoing project of packing individual go bags. What’s that? Well its defined by Google as, “a bag packed with essential items, kept ready for use in the event of an emergency evacuation of one’s home.” We hope we never have to use but should the need arise we will be prepared. If you would like to use some of our resources to create your own, let us know we would be happy to share!
    We are thrilled to cease the teasing and finally list our Oriental Yard Long Beans! We are happy to share and get your feedback on them. In addition, take advantage of our recently listed Basil Infused Olive Oil & Marigold Blossoms.


Growing food is awesome but sharing it takes the experience to a whole other level! Thanks for your support. From our family to yours!


HAWKINS HOMESTEAD: Hello Market Friends! Most of you guys know that we lived in the Carolinas before moving here a few years ago. So as you can imagine we have many friends and family there. For us, it has been a week of constant checking and making sure everyone is ok. Thankfully, we can report that all is well. If you guys have loved ones that were affected by the storm, please know that we will be praying for them along with everyone else.

Bain Home Gardens mentioned something in their post that is so very important. Natural disasters such as tornadoes and hurricanes just come with living in the South, so being prepared is of the utmost importance. For us we have to worry about ourselves and our animals. If we’re ever in the path of a storm, we have a plan to try and keep the chickens safe and the dogs along with Oscar (cat) go with us.

This week on our urban farm we are enjoying watching all the growth and the new life that has appeared on the farm. So many people are asking about produce and we like all of you are anxiously waiting for Fall harvests. We uncovered this volunteer organic arugula plant to give you a sneak peek. Until next week….


HORTONS FARM: A hearty THANK YOU to everyone who prayed for those in Florence’s path. I’m happy to report that our Raleigh family is safe and sound, though many roads in the area are closed due to flooding.

Our products will be on vacation mode as we are headed to the state beekeepers annual meeting this weekend. We’ll see you Sept. 28th!

Champaign, OH:  Moonlight Mile


When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there’s a face you know…
(Moonlight Mile-Rolling Stones)

In the window there’s a face you know…

And, that would be me, your market manager. And, my face in the window, will be me, returning to my Thursday afternoon/evening gig as your on-site market manager.

After my Thursday Weblog, I received so many heartfelt emails, from so many of you. One of the ongoing concerns was that making the market a self serve pick up, was not popular. That you missed the human contact with your market managers. You missed the chat, the banter, the smiling faces. So, that was all I needed.

A huge thank you to Kim and the Y staff for doing an amazing job of taking care of the market in my absence!!!

I have taken action in getting lettuce, salad mixes, greens back to this market!! I spoke with the producers, yesterday, and they are confident they can get product on, this week, still!! I will talk more about them, when they are ready to roll. But, we will once again see year round lettuces, in assorted varieties!!

I am in talks with a few other producers, and then, even more, for next year’s growing season!!

Also, you will begin to see me, pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, and leaving our market cards. Just like in the old days. If you have a business, or work in an office, can we leave cards with you, to promote or should I say, re-promote our market?

The general vibe from all of you has been the never ending love that you have for our little local market of love.

And, we are putting ourselves in place to build it stronger than ever.

We hope to see your smiling faces, your orders, and you, very soon, as you regain your love of all that we do!!

XOXO,

Cosmic Pam

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!
