CLG:  Opening Bell: Hummus, Chicken, Spinach, PLANTS, Bacon!


Good afternoon!
This week you will find all the spring favorites with a few early summer items. Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

STRAWBERRIES have been listed, and a few more have been showing up on the extras tables so plan to pick up early on Friday if possible.

Usually our volunteers have the market ready for customers to pick up before 4pm. If you are out and about and want to know if we are ready, just text me to see: 501-339-1039

Check out over 500 wonderful items listed right now. Have a great week!

See you on Friday!

Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!

Have a great week!
Steve

…this and that…


Sarah Rockey, who has dedicated her time to the Market since its creation and who now manages the Hamilton Mill Market, celebrated her 30th Birthday on Friday, April 22nd! Happy Birthday, Sarah! Not only does Sarah work at Market, she also works for Vicky and Steve at Fry Farm, Ricky Brown at Back River Farm and Drisdell Consulting! You are are an amazing woman and I am grateful that you are a part of Market. You are a blessing in my life!


Cedar Rock Dairy has Buttermilk for $5.50/half gallon. If you would like some, please TEXT me at 404-432-4337.


Ricky Brown of Back River Farm has Red Russian Kale. Be sure and check it out!


Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm has let me know that chicken will be available next month. He will also be processing Ducks and Turkeys. For those of you who had the pleasure of trying the Turkey Bologna, be advised it will be available again! WoW! I really like the Turkey Bologna and it is a treat to have Lunchmeat with no nitrites! This week, Greg has listed Chicken Gizzards and Pork Spare Ribs on Special. The Ribs are meaty and have excellent flavor – great grilled on slow cooked in the crockpot!

Doug of Doug’s Garden still has Carrots and is offering them again this week! Per Doug, this will probably be the last week for them because they will start to lose their sweetness. Three different quantities to choose from! These are YUMMY!


Vicky and Steve of Fry Farm are trying something new this year! Harvest Boxes. These will include a variety of veggies available for Harvest on Market Day! Matt Fry, Vicky and Steve’s son who also works at the Farm will also include a handy “Usage Guide” in case you are not familiar with the included Veggies! Yay Matt! In addition, this week Vicky has listed: Popcorn, Cilantro, 2 types of Watrecress, Red Russian Kale, Lettuce Mix, 2 types of Spinach and Hakurei Turnips.


Kathy Barnes of So-Koi is offering a Special on Einkorn Berries and Einkorn Ground Flour. Great savings! Be sure and check it out!


Morris Cleveland of Healing Earth Farm now has 4 sizes of eggs available. Eggs are Organic, from Free Range Hens. These are really flavorful and yolks are orange! Morris also offer his Honey, which is RICH and delicious!


Be sure and check out the Water Buffalo and Alpaca offerings from David and Shalley of Carrell Farms! All of their Sausage Products are delicious; however, I am partial to the Water Buffalo Longaniza and the Jalapeno Cheese Water Buffalo Sausage! Check them out!


In addition to sharing the responsibility of raising Water Buffalo and Alpacas, Shalley Carrell has worked hard to develop a Skin Care line of Products made with Tallow from the animals they raise! Many of you have tried some of Shalley’s products and have given RAVE reviews. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure, be sure and peruse the offerings from Buffalo Gal Grassfed Beauty. You will not be disappointed! Thanks, Shalley for all of your dedication and hard work! Also, Happy Belated Birthday!


Veggie Patch Once again this year, The Veggie Patch is offering Herb Seedlings and Vegetable Seedlings. Check out their greens and other produce!


Watsonia Farms has Strawberries and Asparagus this week! Don’t miss the opportunity – they won’t be around for long!


The Black Lab, “Dudley” is still vacationing up in Ohio with my brother Michael and his wife Karen and his Springer Spaniel cousin, Doyle. He celebrated his 11th birthday recently. I miss him like crazy but know that he is well-loved. Michael takes Doyle and Dudley and their friend Macy to a 100 acres property to run on a daily basis so he has plenty of room to explore the woods and run! He also has a fenced yard to play in and it has been ‘Dudley proofed’ – I told Michael he was the ultimate ‘escape artist’ and he believed me after Dudley ATE 2 pickets to escape! just thought you would like an update…

Dawson Local Harvest:  HEADS UP! Head Lettuce, Kale, Collards, and Shrimp!


Dawson Local Harvest for April 29

HEADS UP! Head Lettuce, Kale, Collards, and Shrimp!

HI EVERYONE!

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful Spring weather! We’re certainly looking forward to more and more availability for fresh, scrumptious eats and treats and healthy all-natural products free of the chemicals and “unknowns” of the commercial world. So here’s what’s going on this week.

From LEILANI’S, dress up your salads with colorful and tasty Swiss Chard (also great added to pasta after sautéing with olive oil and garlic). Several new varieties of fresh-picked Head Lettuces are now available, along with dusky ‘Red Russian’ and green-leaf ‘Siberian’ Kale and extra-tender baby Georgia Collards (don’t forget the FIVE HENS Fatback for true southern taste). In the Vegetable section.

YIKES om the Shrimp faux pau. Ordering has been enabled and you can get all the Georgia White Shrimp your heart and taste buds desire! This week it’s wild-caught and quick-frozen for superb taste. In the Meat section of The Market.

THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!

REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Have a happy and healthy week!

Market Manager
