Champaign, OH:  Dedicated To The One I Love

And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love…
(So many groups have covered this song, my favorite being the Mamas and the Papas, but tonight, I am playing the soundtrack from, Echo In The Canyon, which features Jacob Dylan, and friends, singing in the documentary…)

And, this is my love song, to you, this evening. From the customers, to the vendors…you have no idea how much love I have for all of you.

Each week, the sisterhood/brotherhood of this market, and the meshing of spirits and souls and market revelry warms my heart.

My gosh…the kindness, love, compassion, excitement…you all bring it, every week. For some reason, this week just really hit home. I hope that after your cars are loaded, and we’ve talked, laughed, exchanged more than just orders, that you also take the love vibes with you, on your journeys.

I open the market, tonight, for another week of ordering fun. We also welcome and new and awesome vendor, this week!! She will send me a write up, all about her, her products, and what she does, but she brings us her body scrubs, and I am so excited!

Tonight, this weblog is dedicated to ones I love…all of you…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Market is open for orders!

Good evening Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!

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!

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.

Statesboro Market2Go:  Market2Go Pickup!

Market2Go pickup in Statesboro is now at the Statesboro Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) at 222 South Main Street. All pickups are on Thursday. Pickup times have recently changed for Statesboro and Sylvania, so please read carefully.

STATESBORO – THURSDAY Drive Through at SCVB starts at 3:30.

• Last names A – F 3:30 pm — 4:30 pm
• Last names G – N 4:30 pm — 5:30 pm
• Last names O – Z 5:30 pm — 6:30 pm

SYLVANIA – THURSDAY Pickup at Victory Gardens General Store
All Sylvania customers 4:00 pm — 5:00 pm

Want to change your pickup time? The purpose of the time slots is to try to achieve an even flow so nobody has to wait too long. But we want this to be convenient for you: if you need to change your time slot or location, please text 912.481.2263, tell us the ORDER NAME and the TIME you would like to pick up. We will even assign you some “bonus time” if you need to come after 6:30. Just let us know so we can make sure your order is in the right place at the right time. Please do NOT come before 3:30 as this creates a traffic backup.

Remember! When you head out to your pickup location, be sure to take a mask, a placard with your order name(s), and appropriate containers for your food.

THE DRIVE-THROUGH PROCEDURE in Statesboro.

• Drive to the right (counter clockwise) all the way around the SCVB, keeping to the outer perimeter and maintaining a tight queue. A volunteer will check you in as you come around the far side of the building..
• Please display the name(s) for your order(s) on a windshield placard to assist in quick and safe check-in.
• Please wear a mask while communicating with market staff.
• Provide access to your vehicle and to the containers you want loaded (bags, boxes, bins or coolers); unlock the back door or the trunk, with containers inside.
• We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items. Ice cream melts, even in a short car trip, and our fresh non-homogenized milk is temperature sensitive.
• Wait in your car for the runner to come out with your order and load into your containers. Make sure your name placard is visible.
• If you did not prepay on line with a debit or credit card, please make a check for exact amount when your order is delivered. (You may pay cash in exact amount, but any “change” from cash received will be credited to your account. Use an envelope to label the cash payment with your order name.)

PICKUP for SYLVANIA CUSTOMERS.
Pickup is across the street from the Victory Gardens General Store. Please remain in your car until volunteers bring your order, and wear a mask when interacting with volunteers. We recommend that you bring a cooler for transporting meat, dairy and perishable items.

HOME DELIVERY CUSTOMERS.
Orders will be delivered between 2:30 and 5:00 by Boro Takeout. You will receive a notice when your driver is on the way. We recommend you leave a cooler at the front door (or your designated delivery location) to facilitate no-contact delivery and to keep perishable food safe.

EBT CUSTOMERS.
Right now we can scan EBT/SNAP cards only at the Statesboro pickup location. So, if you have ordered online with the intent to pay with your EBT card, you’ll need to come to the Statesboro Drive Through at the Convention and Visitors Bureau between 3:30 and 6:30. Email or text us in advance so we can calculate your bonus dollars and the amount to be charged to your card.

Miami County Locally Grown:  Jandy's Garlic Festival SUNDAY!!

Jandy’s Farm hosts a sweet affair every year on their lovely Bellefontaine homestead – a Garlic Harvest Celebration where they offer 12 varieties of their Garlic for sale, whether you only need a few bulbs or a few pounds for seed, as well as other chemical free produce and flowers.

Combined with music, food, and a variety of other vendors, we look forward to this little event every year – and how wonderful they’re still able to offer it now amidst the changes and unpredictability of this season!!

Ecologically conscious farmers, they have so much knowledge and beauty to share – their farm is an inspiring, uplifting place!! I have always loved their motto, “Ecological farming – it’s only logical”!

We met them on an OEFFA-sponsored farm tour ten years ago, and bought our first garlic to plant of course from them after they happily and patiently answered our million questions – popular at the Logan County Farmer’s Market, they encourage you to try to grow your own and even provide instruction sheets (PRICELESS!!) to help you out.

And I have had such an exorbitant number of questions this year from folks wondering about how to grow garlic, I’ll post their information here later in the fall when we get closer to planting time in October.

For now, enjoy as many of the different garlic varieties as you can, from the most mild to the ones for real heat lovers, think about whether you’d need it to store for months if you don’t go thru it very quickly, and decide whether you’d use the wonderful garlic scapes produced only by the hardneck garlic varieties!

Hope to see you Sunday :-)
