PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!
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!

New Vendor: Crave Pie Studio
I am very happy to welcome Briana Carson of Crave Pie Studio to our family of growers and vendors!
Their artisan bakers skillfully craft each pie with fresh seasonal ingredients and our signature all butter pastry.
Crave Pie will offer a changing variety of 5" mini pies on the market weekly.
All of their pies that are listed on the market contain ingredients that are non-GMO, organically grow, or certified organic.
I’ve tried their pies and they are absolutely delicious! And I’m glad they are small so I don’t feel guilty… sometimes it’s the small pleasures that bring the most joy!!

Miami County Locally Grown: We are Open for Orders! And Tonight's Featured Vendor is...
Jeanne Ceyler, of Jeanne’s Kitchen!
When I turned into Jeanne and Tom Ceyler’s driveway, to say I was shocked would be an understatement. I had no idea I would be entering a paradise of edible landscaping! Numerous fruit trees, succulent herbs, vegetable gardens, and gorgeous flowers surrounded her charming home. In my head I ran through the many fruits, vegetables and herbs she incorporates into her jams, desserts, and breads… and they were all here just waiting for her to use, right outside her door!
I have a deep appreciation for well-maintained gardens, and I understand the love and commitment it takes to keep them bearing heavily and looking beautiful. I also realize just how long it takes to pick enough berries to make a pie, that’s always devoured far too quickly! Just walking up to her front door, I wished time would allow me to spend a lovely afternoon wandering the meandering paths and beds that entirely encompass her acre slice of heaven.
We’ve been surprised by Jeanne many times – by her widespread assortment of jams and her unusual flavors (I had never heard of corn cob jelly!)… Or when we tried her Double Corn Jalapeno bread, and I gave the kids a small piece. They had to try it, but I honestly thought it was an “adult” bread and they’d complain as they normally do when things have “spice”. So yes I was shocked when our 4 year-old kept asking for more and asked why we never made it!
It was her Cottage Dill Bread she was baking while we talked, and I laughed when I saw her well-worn and clearly loved recipe, conveniently displayed on a wooden holder made by her husband. You can get such an intimate, honest idea about a person and their preferences by looking through their oft-used recipe books and finding their splattered, dog-eared, yellowed pages with all the necessary notations!
We’ve known Jeanne and Tom for several years, since our first year at the Piqua Farmer’s Market when we set up next to them during our initial venture into the world of Miami County’s wonderful farmer’s markets.
They were, and always have been, so welcoming, open and friendly to us, and I’m very glad to have them as part of our virtual market family!

Good morning!
Frontier Family Farms has added some “Standard Winter Produce Boxes” and some “Weekly Produce Boxes.” These boxes are listed under “CSA” on the market. They will include a share of what’s available each week on Michael’s farm, and will therefore vary in content from week to week. These boxes will be purchased on a weekly basis, rather than at the start of the season like some of our other CSA’s. They will be a good way to fill your frig and include vegetables in your diet each week. Please note that the “Standard Winter” box will contain a “bonus item” from another farm, which will also vary from week to week. Be sure to check these boxes each week to see what’s new.
Please note: If you already ordered, you may place a second order this evening. The software will total it all together for you.
Don’t forget to place your order on Manchester Locally Grown market. The market will be open until 10 pm this evening. Pickup of your order will be at our tents located outside Manchester Farm Store, 251 Interstate Dr., Manchester. We can also deliver your order to your home on Friday, if it’s more convenient for you. If you prefer to utilize this $4.00 service, please make a note on your order or call my cell at (931) 273-9708.
Remember that we are a year-round market, not subject to seasonal closings like the local farm stands and Saturday markets. We have beef and pork products; herbal & handmade products; plants for home & garden; milk, eggs, jams & jellies available year round. We can also make you a gift certificate in any denomination.
Thanks for your orders last week! Please encourage your local friends and family to shop at our year-round market and support local farmers!
Blessings,
Linda
