The Wednesday Market:  Time to Order!


Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Can you believe how quickly this year has passed? The holiday season is in full swing. I love this time of year because it reminds me of the special foods that my grandmother prepared for our family celebrations. Grandma’s house was the gathering place for our whole family. Nowadays my house is the spot where we meet. As I was cooking for Thanksgiving, I thought of Grandma and the activities she loved, including cooking and gardening. I try to follow her example of pouring love into every dish that I prepare. Grandma died when I was only 11 years old, but the lessons of love and hospitality she taught me, my mother, and my aunt live on. Even though the work we do to host our family events is long and hard, we love nothing more than to be surrounded by those we love and to see happiness on each face. As the holiday season unfolds, may you all experience love and joy with your loved ones.

Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

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!

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!
