CLG: Opening Bell: Cheese, Apples, BBQ Pork, Honey!
Hello friends!
Please wear a mask when you pick up your ordered items. Thank you. We will also continue contactless delivery to your vehicle on Fridays for those interested, just call or text 501-339-1039.
We had some wonderful weather during the Faulkner County Fair last week. Many thanks to all the folks that put in so much time to make it enjoyable and safe. It’s great to see how productive and energetic our local farm families are. And once again, in their infinite wisdom, the judges awarded a 1st place blue ribbon to our Cedar Rock Ridge garlic!
Other farmers markets in Conway are closed now until April, but we continue to provide nutritious local food all year long. Invite your friends and co-workers to shop at CLG where over 450 items are available each week.
Maria just made a batch of her famous BBQ pulled pork, available frozen this week. We hope to have it hot next month, along with a full selection of her delicious jams and jellies. Wassail is also listed now.
We have cheese available this week. Check it out and stock up your fridge. We will have Tamales again next week. If you’ve never tried them, you should. Excellent with refried beans and rice with salsa or guacamole. Yum!
Now is a great time to plant some forever onions. Egyptian walking onions, purchased once, will supply you with a lifetime of delicious green onions 12 months a year. These perennial dividing green onions are hardy to -40 degrees. Available in 4-packs.
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!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping: *https://conway.locallygrown.net/market

Dothan, Alabama: Sept 25, 2021 Newsletter
IT’S PUMPKIN SEASON
And they are EVERYWHERE! Every store I went into this week had some form of fall pumpkins near the door tempting shoppers to welcome the cooler temps into their surroundings. I must admit to giving in to the temptation. If you’re fighting it too, Dothan Nurseries has a fabulous selection in the pavilion on the north side of the property with all sizes shapes and colors.
While I love a real pumpkin, unless you cook and can them (as some of us market folk have been known to do) they don’t last. Many people opt for pumpkins that can be used year after year. My daughter in law is one such person:
Lastly, MY PUMPKINS: They fade in the sun if you use them outdoors but they are super fun to make from recycled materials and once you know how, you can make a bunch in a short time. That being said – if you have an unused something you’d enjoy turning into a pumpkin, let’s do it! Send us an email at [email protected] with a photo of your item and we’ll tell you how much stuffing to bring and will have the remaining supplies at the Market Shed next Friday. It’s a quick and fun project.
GROWER & MARKET NOTES
In case you missed it in our 9/11 /21 newsletter, Grows in Rows is now offering Pasture Raised Chicken along with livers and stock. They also have also ordered more Turkeys to be ready for holiday use.
Also, AVALON FARMS has relisted their zephyr squash and other regular veggies that are starting to come in. Be sure to scan the vegetable section of the Market Page to see what’s available this week.
Several customer credits were issued this week for items that were deleted from orders picked up on September 17. THANK YOU for your kind patience concerning this.

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!*
