CLG:  New Grower! Opening Bell: Apples, Lion's Mane, Beef, Pork!

Hello friends!

A couple of weeks ago we gave out a whole basket of sample baked goods from Wholesome Bread. You enjoyed chocolate chip cookies, chocolate friendship bread, cinnamon friendship bread, and some hearty white bread. Please take a minute and read about Laura from Wholesome Bread under the Our Growers tab and then welcome her to our market by ordering yourself one of her delicious items. Welcome, Laura!

It’s Apple time! The first couple of apple varieties are being picked now. Great for snacking, or for your favorite baking recipes.

Looking for a zesty topping for your pizza, meatloaf, or sandwich? Candied jalapeño and banana peppers from Cedar Rock Ridge will change your life. Try them on a cracker with a little cream cheese for a popular appetizer.

Our market will continue to meet in the lobby every Friday. Our volunteers will be wearing masks. Your order can be brought to your car in the parking lot by one of our dedicated volunteers. Just text me when you are parked, and we will bring your order to your vehicle. 501-339-1039.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. For instance, type in the word “sale” or “pork” and see what pops up. We have almost 500 items available now!

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:

Champaign, OH:  Say Hello

Let’s go out and paint the town
And we could turn the world around…
(April Wine)

Well, I stumbled onto this song, and April Wine, not too long ago, and what a blast from my past. I was super into this group in the late 70s? I saw them in concert, cannot remember where, or exactly when, but I know I would be safe in saying, I remember it being a small, club like venue, and I borrowed a co-worker’s ID…underage me, went to a whole lot of shows, in a whole lot of clubs, with that ID. Thankful for all us mall rat workers, who banded together, to help each other out…lol.

But, I am getting away from why I picked this song. I posted all of our vendors who are off on vacation, but there is also a whole lot to Say Hello about…

Truck Patch Naturals is back with groovy stuff!!!

ChrisMis Farms added their much sought after Baklava!

We have luxurious body scrubs from new vendor, Grace Lane Goods!

And, you all are getting your egg orders taken care of with not only the established egg vendors of the market, but also with new kids on the block, 4 Hens & A Rooster!!

This market…it warms my heart!!

Ok, it’s Saturday, and your market managers turn into Hippie and the Farmer for catering a wedding, this evening…

So, while I am busy, all day, you can get busy, saying Hello to the new things on the market, and getting your orders in…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

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.

Champaign, OH:  It’s A Sunshine Day!

And, we added the most adorable new egg vendors from a neighboring farm!

Here is their write up!

4 Hens & A Rooster

We are 4 sisters & a brother . . . Madison (15), Lacy (13), Aleah (11), Saige (9) & William (8). We took care of our chickens daily for almost 3 years. Our chickens produced more eggs than any one family could eat. We had egg custard, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, egg casserole, egg sandwiches, egg salad, deviled eggs . . . well, you get the point. We had eggs coming out our ears. One day, we got the bright idea to turn our chore into a business. We took a dirty ‘ole dusty chicken house and turned it into a cute little place to host our business, all we needed was a name. 4 Hens & A Rooster was born out of the fact that we are a family with 4 girls and 1 little boy!
We hope to expand our business in the future when our garden starts producing and as we learn new skills! We appreciate you supporting our small business!
