Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Spotlight: Solace Farm


Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

will be open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.

Due to the Coronavirus restrictions, if you would prefer home delivery of your order, please just ask. No charge during this time.

Please also remember that our market is much safer than any grocery store.
All our products are direct from grower/producer to consumer, with no middle men handling.

Please share this information with your friends and help them to understand how safe our open-air markets are.



From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:

This week Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a couple of pink Christmas cacti in bloom, as well as another new African violet. Our early daffodils will last another week if the wather isn’t 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.




Carter of CS3 Farms writes:
We are going to limit our market participation to the second and fourth weeks of the month. If there are specific requests in between those, please email us at [email protected] .

From Triple T Cattle Farms:
We are going to run a special the next couple of weeks for our ground beef. We’ll have it priced at $5 per pound.

KITCHEN FUN- CARROT RIBBONS

This inspiration comes from Restoration Gardens whose beautiful carrots have been wowing us for several weeks. With raw carrot ribbons being a long time salad favorite in your editors home we thought we’d explore a bit further:

Carrot ribbons
This is a carrot ribbon. Photo credit to Joanne at Fifteen Spatulas who shares her Asian Carrot & Cucumber Ribbon Salad. Preparation hint: soak your curls in ice water for 20 minutes to make them curlier and crunchier when eating fresh.


carrot-ribbon-colllage

Top Left: Carrot Ribbons With Pesto was originally made with Sorrell Greens but Arugula, Watercress or other leafy greens may be substituted in this recipe from MotherEarthLoving.com

Top Right: Steamer Carrot Ribbons with Peas from Epicure is SUPER EASY and would be a great addition to an Easter meal.

Bottom Left: Don’t let looks fool you. These Orange Glazed Carrot Ribbons have a complex sweet/savory flavor.

Bottom Right: What a shame that Pinch Me I’m Eating does not share this recipe but since it’s called Scarborough Fair Carrot Ribbons with Shrimp we should assume those lovely herbs are parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. We’re thinking it shouldn’t be too hard to recreate.

CASA PERDIDO: Mary O. Shared this great recipe with us that features their Alabama made Fig Balsamic Vinegar. For those of you not familiar with these products, they are all made with Alabama grown muscadines.

Apple Pecan Arugula Salad with Fig Balsamic Vinaigrette

Ingredients Fig Dressing
1/2 cup raw pecans 1/4 cup fig balsamic vinegar
2 small apples P1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c thinly sliced red onion 1 Tbs Dijon mustard
2 Tbs dried cranberries (optional) 1 tsp honey
1 garlic clove or sprinkle garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans on bare baking sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes until fragrant and deep golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. While pecans are toasting, prep remaining salad ingredients and add to a large mixing bowl.
3. Prepare dressing in a mixing bowl or mason jar by adding all ingredients and whisking or shaking vigorously to combine. Taste and adjust flavor to your preference.
4. Add cooled pecans to salad and top with dressing. Toss to combine and serve immediately. Serves two as an entree and 4 as a side.

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: 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!
