Martin's Farmstand:  Beans, storage onions, homemade grape juice and apples

Hello everyone again. This is September and there is much good food to choose from our farms and gardens. If you are ever going to eat local food this is a good time to start. I planted a big patch of beans in late July after we returned from the trip. They have grown beautifully and are ready now. We have bulk amounts available @ $15 per 1/2 bushel. We also have about 50 boxes of canner tomatoes for today and lots of peppers and cabbage. The fruit set on my Dad’s apples was fairly light this spring (they usually set too many). What did set grew big and nice. The dry weather in June kept the scab away. We have a big crop of very nice organic apples. They are available now and we will store them with the plan to have them at the stand into the winter as supplies last. The storage onions are dry and ready to go. As we have time we will be bagging them to sell. You can also fill your own bag/box from the display at bag prices 25lbs for $18.75 or 75 cents per lb. I have not dug any sweet potatoes yet however I plan to dig some today so they can be at the stand. We picked all the grapes yesterday and I am making juice out of them this morning. There is way too much juice for us to use as a family so this will be for sale at the stand. We are packing this as it comes out of the steamer without adding any sweetener. For drinking juice you can sweeten it if you wish and dilute with water to taste. At some point I plan to also make some into jelly for the stand. Daniel.

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!*

Grumpy Goat:  Weblog Entry

As you’ll see we’ve started taking some veggies off the online market. The garden is slowing down rapidly right now so it’s getting harder to figure out how much to list. We will still have tomatoes/peppers/eggplants in the store – we just can’t guarantee quantities before hand!

I’ve also had to remove the Asiago and Tomato Asiago bagels off until I can source blocks of Asiago again (sadly Kroger has stopped selling the blocks). If anyone has a source let me know!

We had a great time at the Handmade Harvest event in Minster last week. Thanks to those of you who came out to visit!!!

This week we continue to bottle the fall honey this week as well as starting to clean the wax to use in lip balms in the future. We are also continuing to shear the goats. Speaking of the goats, we just got word that Frankie Mittens was declared the Reserve Grand Champion in a fleece show in Oregon (we mailed in her fiber after her haircut)! Woohooo. We have high hopes for her in the future. We also continue to can, dehydrate, and freeze as much as possible before the garden stops producing. And now all the fall prep and cover cropping must begin… can’t believe it’s September already.
