Growers News: there is over 674 items available on the Market this week.

Each wreath is meticulously handmade by me with attention and care. Be sure to check back over the next few weeks as I’m excited to begin adding new products this summer.

NashPhilly: Back with some great meal items to choose from.

Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.

We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!

Our new SUMMER Seasonal Chef’s Blend: CANTALOUPE, CUCUMBER, THAI BASIL, RED AMARANTH.

Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with what we grow all the time.

Quarter Spring Farm: back with Chicken and Lamb and of course stay clean with their Goat Soaps.

C&M Valley Farm: Hope you are having a wonderful planting season! Yes, speaking in the present. Many think it’s over and they can only hope for and reap from the last of their spring efforts at this point. But…..NO! There are so many adventures yet to embark on such as tucking our newly available angelwing and dragonwing begonias, or opting for your own unique culinary acquirements which will take you and your family to new levels of taste such as our scented geraniums . We also have available herbs known to contain medicinal properties for alternative health support and options. Check out our spicy herbs which are great for last minute potting up. They are great for making your own delicious vinegars to splash over fresh salad, or last minute sauces and gravies for meats and veggies which will definitely bring your taste buds to attention.
Planting and planning is still in progress for those who have an apartment, a balcony, a patio, a yard, or any space-simple or complex. Tis’ still the season…so Enjoy!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: several perennial and annual plants, in pots ready to plant or hanging baskets to select from. Large selection of Herb Plants!

RC Farms: Along with a large selection of other fruit and vegetable, various meats and prepared frozen meals and fruit. Our apology for some of the mix up of orders on the webpage, we are in the process of correcting those items.

MISC MARKET NOTES

Keeping It Light

Overheard from a young mother: “ Today my oldest didn’t want the youngest to help him with a chore causing my youngest to almost cry because, “I’ve only gotten to do that chore once!”
This can only mean we’ve entered the Twilight Zone period of summer. Stay safe, everyone.”

Emotional support . . . WHAT? Apparently someone noticed the stressful heat in the Market Shed on Fridays and took action to help us cope.

“Hi There,
I am so glad you found me. I am an out of work ESC (emotional support chicken). I have been looking for the perfect human to go home with . That human is YOU! I’m super cheap to feed and will never charge you by the hour. I will listen to your without interrupting, and I’ll never judge you or put you down. Let’s face it, I am pretty dang cute too. I love being photographed and will travel with you wherever you go. Just keep me in your pocket, or purse and take me out whenever you need cheering up. “

Retro picnic
As you can see, they weren’t all chickens but were more suited to the things in our respective farms.
And THANK YOU Mrs. D!

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

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 after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, 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.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!

Martin's Farmstand:  Bargins for Saturday July 8th


I have a few overstock bargains for Saturday July 8th at Martins Farmstand. We are at the time of the year that the gardens are starting to yield their bounty. Medium sized cucumbers @ $7 per half bushel (15 available) These are some of the earliest field cucumbers and the cucumber beetles were rough on the plants so there is quite a bit of scarring on the skin. Not pretty but they taste good and would make pickles. Broccoli ( 10 bushels available) @ $15 per half bushel (10 lbs). Lettuce of all sorts (1 free head per person as supplies last). Garlic scapes ( 1 free handful per person as supplies last). Zucchini beautiful first quality zucchini @ $7per box ( 20 available). We also have lots of cabbage and new potatoes and more. As is normal all this produce is grown using organic methods. Daniel
