News from our Growers:

Short Mountain Cultures: we are best known for making a wide range of small batch fermented foods and beverages such as sauerkraut, kimchi, coconut Kefir(non-dairy), tempeh (soy & soy free), water kefir and kombucha. SMC also offers a varied selection of organic bulk foods from their shop ranging from beans and grains to dried fruits and raw nuts. Also amongst many locally made/ sourced options are Hatcher Dairy Milks and Alchemy of Sol Soaps.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Spring has sprung! Or is it still Christmas? The seasons are on a collision course at Dogwood Valley Greenhouse! This week we have a few pink and a couple of red Christmas cacti (technically Thanksgiving cacti, but no one really calls them that!) blooming again. These are not huge plants, but each one has at least half-a-dozen buds coming on. When given cool growing temperatures of 55-60F and not watered for a month, they will bloom multiple times in a year, but each bloom cycle will be less prolific. These plants will brighten your windowsill or plant area nicely.

And finally, the long-awaited daffodils are opening! If you need some bright yellow cheer on your dining table as badly as I do, grab one of these beauties! The early ones will last another week if the weather is not too warm. Then the later, multi-colored ones will bloom. Get yourself a now-and-later! And if you have a vase left over from last year, I will be glad to take it back.

Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week! We have Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread(with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts(cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies(chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!

Sassy Cassie: we are rolling out a special casserole for St. Patrick’s Day. Our Reuben Casserole has layers of root veggies, homemade sauerkraut, corned beef, Russian Dressing, Swiss cheese and buttery Rye breadcrumbs. It will make your Irish eyes smile!

M&S Farms Angus Beef Producers: At M&S Farms we take our time growing our cattle. It’s a traditional program, that allows for a better yield and quality beef. Only the best cattle for you the consumer. Tender & tasteful is the goal. We enjoy the feedback from you and will continue to provide a time-tested product for your dining experience.

Fungalicious: Have you tried our Mushroom Powders? We have Cajun Seasoned Oyster that is awesome on steaks coated with olive oil before grilling or roasting. Hickory Smoked Oyster is good on just about everything – not overpowering,* Lion Mane Powder* – add to many dishes without having to actually prepare them from fresh. Also have Oyster Powder that can be added as a thickener to soups or sauces, very good on scrambled eggs.

Body & Soul Teas:
I have added a few new delicious teas that will help with Spring arriving soon.
Rooty Tooty: A blend of roots including Sarsaparilla give this blend a slight root beer taste.
Cool It: Anti-inflammatory herbs Turmeric and Meadosweet combined with Marshmallow and Ginger.
Glow: Beauty comes from within. Elderberries, Red Rooibos, Rose, Cardamom, Hibiscus, and Orange peel combine to lend anti-inflammatory support to skin and digestive system.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farm): Back on the Market this week with several of their beneficial teas and more.

Flying S Farms:
We have several selections of Sour Dough Breads and Sweet Breads and Bars and of course Biscuits and Cornbread. Are you in a Jam? You can’t go wrong giving a jar of our Jams just to cheer someone’s day up. New this week ‘Burst of Berries Jam" Blueberries, Strawberries, Black Berries and Black Raspberries, it is ’BERRY GOOD! Warm up with our HOT Pepper Jams:…Ghostly Pear Jelly it is milder than or other pepper jams, Jalapeno Cowboy Candy, these all go well with our Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread’s they are great for spicing up many things!

Check back I’ll be ‘jammin’ somemore the next couple day, maybe bringing back some old favorites. Do you have a favorite jam that is not on our list? Let us know, we can probably make it for you.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Welcome Country Road Homestead!

Jennifer Hernandez of Country Road Homestead writes:

We use little or no till methods to establish our garden plots and plant intensively. We don’t have a manicured row garden that is suitable for the front page of Home and Garden. Instead we have a garden that has many hours of hard work poured into every inch of it, along with some wisdom passed down from yesteryears.

We do not use any herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds. Instead, we rely on crop rotation, organic compost produced right here on our farm, and lots of hand weeding to grow healthy fruits and vegetables.
We nurture the land we have been blessed with, raising cows humanely on grass, our chickens that produce eggs and meat fed with veggies, fruit, grass and supplemented with organic chicken feed and ultimately provide organic, affordable, nutrient dense food for our family and our local community.

We hope you’ll join us in our homesteading endeavors.

Some of the items Jennifer has added to our market this week include:

(L to R, top): Whole Wheat Sour Dough Bread; Better Than the Box Brownies.
(L to R, bottom): Turtle CheeseCake; Chocolate Chip Cookies.

KEEPING UP WITH AGRICULTURAL TRENDS

A month ago we share info with a link for a deeper look about Biodynamic Farming. Our girl, Elizabeth, has published again, this time about Agroforestry. It’s not a word we hear much in the this area though some agroforestry concepts have been utilized here for many years. We hope your take away from this section is a deeper appreciation of how different aspects of farming, and in this case trees, can work together for the greatest good of all. Credit for what follows goes to Elizabeth Buttram at Insteading.Com. If you read the article in its entirely you should recognize some practices common in our area. .

What Is Agroforestry?
According to the Peace Corps, agroforestry is a land use agricultural system that integrates trees, crops, and animals on the same piece of land in order to get higher productivity, greater returns, and more social benefits on a sustained basis.
To simplify, agroforestry is a mixture of trees, crops, and animals on the same parcel of land. It’s optional for either crops or livestock (or both) to be utilized while trees are a necessity for it to be considered agroforestry. Trees generally provide more than one service including shelter, shade, soil conservation/erosion prevention, green manure, or livestock fodder.

Why Agroforestry?
The “why” part of doing agroforestry can be understood in the latter section of the Peace Corps definition: Integrating trees/crops/animals on the same piece of land helps boost productivity by yielding multiple outputs that would ordinarily be produced on separate pieces of land.
You can receive greater returns per square foot this way and agroforestry may also increase social benefits by improving economic livelihood. If selling crops or animals is the goal, it creates higher crop diversity, and improves environmental habitat through increased land use diversity.

I’m sure this warm weather has us all in the garden getting things ready. I’ve been seeing lots of honeybees in my garden. To attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, plant some scarlet bee balm. Beautiful big red flowers all summer. Plants available now for only $3.

Also consider growing sunflowers for the birds. Titan sunflowers make big heads of big seeds the birds love. 6-packs of plants now available for $4.

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: Northeast Georgia Locally Grown will continue to help bring the best selection of local and chemical-free foods to you and your family as long as our volunteers feel comfortable and safe. Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible for upcoming markets. We are and will continue to operate under CDC and local guidelines to the best of our ability and knowledge. 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!
