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 right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in 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.

COVID19: Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email with any changes to pickup or ways you can help minimize risk for our volunteers and each other. Thanks for your support!*

Miami County Locally Grown:  Ordering closing soon!

Miami County Locally Grown:  Reconnecting Community with Land, Food, and Each Other

The Miami County Locally Grown online farmers market is going five years strong now, and we all owe a great debt of gratitude to Jennifer and Lee Ruff and family who have steered this ship with skill and (sacrificial!) devotion since its inception in 2016. And give yourselves, dear loyal customers, some due accolades as the other half of what has become a successful community of people dedicated to local food and crafts; in short, we together have kept a great deal of wealth circulating in our hometowns and out of the larger corporations that send most of those dollars elsewhere.
And we heartily welcome Erin Harris as our new market manager! May we continue to participate in MCLG and support her work to keep our community strong.
One way (and there are many ways) of looking at what we’re accomplishing through the MCLG community is that of bridging an important gap between urban and rural ways of life. For people who have spent their lives in either location, it is sometimes difficult to truly understand what life is like for people who live in areas different from our own.
Personally, as a farmer, it is often hard to imagine what it’s like to not have livestock to care for, fields and gardens to maintain and cultivate and plan for, and the ongoing upkeep of buildings and equipment that perpetually occupy my mind and time. Especially during this pandemic—my lifestyle hasn’t really changed that much. Probably not so for folks living in urban areas: social organizations and activities are much more central and therefore much more disrupted in these difficult times.
But, what can we learn from each other? Perhaps that both urban and rural lifestyles are important in and of themselves: we farmers need community and social connection, you urban residents need a connection to the land, nature, and the ultimate source of our food. It’s a win-win in my book! Let’s hope we will continue to forge our mutually beneficial bond through the Miami County Locally Grown farmers market.

Grumpy Goat:  Weblog Entry

Sorry for my delay in opening the market this week. I have to say we have been a little sleep deprived the past couple days. Houdini had her babies in the wee hours Monday night/Tuesday morning. Though during the ultrasound we were told to expect triplets, she instead decided to overachieve and have quintuplets. It was a difficult birth as you can imagine. Unfortunately the fifth kid didn’t make it but the other four are doing well. The two boys are nursing on their own while the two girls still need encouragement – hence the lack of sleep. Houdini is recovering though she is still struggling to pass her placenta so we’ve been in close contact with our vets office. Fingers crossed that tonight is the night. Other than that we will be working to build back Houdini’s body condition as growing five kids has left her much thinner than we’d like. If all goes well we hope she and the kids will be up for visitors in a week or two.

Thanks to those of you who picked up your orders hassle free Tuesday without us there! The market is now open for orders!
