FOOD FOR THE SOUL

We talk about food for the body most of the year around here. With this being the last newsletter of 2021 we thought we’d talk about something less temporal.

There’s something about Christmas that seems to drive our emotions. For some it truly is the most wonderful time of the year, and on the other end of the spectrum it can open deep wounds. While we hope and pray it’s wonderful for all of you, we can’t ignore that’s not always the case. So this part of our newsletter is dedicated to equipping you to deal with all aspects of the holiday season.

Dave Ramsey offers 13 great tips to reduce holiday stress in this great ARTICLE. The section about focusing on CONNECTIONS with others is superb.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Be sure to watch the 5 min video at the start of this slide show produced by IN HEALTH. Some of these recommendations mirror Ramsey’s.

In this list MAYO CLINIC wisely starts with acknowledging sadness and /or loss you may have experienced. The suggestions for breathers are great.

Christmas_Lights_small

HUFFINGTON POST identifies things that can trigger anxiety and depressing during the holidays including trying to do too much.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Lastly (falling under the category of taking a breather!) a book recommendation by one of your Market Manager’s favorite authors, Hidden Christmas: The Surprising Truth behind the Birth of Christ by Timothy J Keller. THIS PAGE contains some excerpts.

AVALON FARMS: We have made our escape to a mountain hideaway near Chattanooga. No worries, we’ll be back Tuesday in time to receive our onion transplant shipment. Those will be the next project.

Before leaving, the garlic beds were made and amended with: bone meal, alfalfa pellets and processed chicken litter fertilizer. Each little clove was tucked in for Winter. They will send up green shoots in a week or so, but don’t worry they can take our mild Winters with no damage.

There are 2 varieties of spinach growing. I’m hoping they will be available first of the year. For fun I planted a red stemmed variety in addition to the standard green. It worried me the other day, I thought they were turning brown! It was just the red color starting to develop in the stems. Silly farmer : )

Have a wonderful holiday! Safe, warm and dry. Grace and Peace to us all!

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Market is open for orders!


Good evening Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!

Go to the market >>
Fresh Vegetables
Clean Meats
Baked Goods with Organic ingredients
Gluten Free goodies
Pastured Eggs
See all products

Market stays open from Fridays 9 p.m. until at least 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 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!*
