Champaign, OH:  Shaking The Tree

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave…
(Shaking The Tree-Peter Gabriel)

What a fitting lyric for this market after a few great weeks of great press!

We certainly are turning the tide, and for those of you who are new to the market, thanks for catching that incoming wave.

As you all know, who have been with this market, always, but, for those of you who are all new to this gig, I write a daily Weblog, that is connected to this market.

My writings are usually musically inspired, the weblogs act as your bridge to getting to know the market, the vendors, the products available. Your human contact via an online market.

With so many new customers, I am also going to begin to have each vendor give me a write up, to introduce themselves, their products, their philosophy on local, seasonal, and all things foodie related.

We are a strong team, a strong market, and are going into our 9th year. We welcome you to the market, and our love for our loyals goes without saying.

The market is pretty simplistic to navigate, but I am always available for any questions. There is no ability to pay for your order, online, but you can do so by calling me with payment information before the market pick up on Thursdays. We can keep your information, on file, for future purchases! Or, you can hand me a check or cash, in a ziplock bag, exact change is great, at market pickup.

Until recently, we operated our market out of the Champaign County YMCA, but for the past month, have relocated, permanently, to the farm at Oakview Farm Meats. Right now, we ask that all customers remain in their cars, as they line up in a car line, and we bring your boxes out from the greenhouse.

Once we can all get out, congregate, and have a good old time, you can walk the gardens, get to know vendors who will be set up, and have a lovely time…

My love for you, and this market, runs deep. Our vendors are the best of the best, and we are honored to have them as part of this market.

Now…go, browse, order…the market closes at 10pm on Tuesday evenings, pick up is on Thursdays, 4pm-6pm, with time slots appointed based on the alphabet, and then the market reopens on Thursday evenings, to begin ordering, again!

One last note…as you go through the ordering process, and then proceed to check out, please make sure your click on the Pay Later button. This ensures that you have gone through the entire process. If you receive a Sales Confirmation email, you have been successful! If you did not receive the confirmation, go back, and check your cart. Chances are you forgot that last step.

Thank you!!

And, many love vibes…

Statesboro Market2Go:  Market2Go is Open!

THE MARKET IS OPEN.

Our order process remains the same but we’re changing the pickup procedure in response to the overwhelming number of orders we received last week and the long wait times in the drive-through. (Thank you all for your patience and special thanks to those of you who offered help.)

NEW PICKUP TIMES! This week we will offer Statesboro customers two choices for picking up their orders – Thursday evening or Friday morning. Sylvania customers will have slightly expanded hours for pickup at their regular venue.

When you place your order, be sure to choose which option you would like.

• Statesboro: Thursday evening at Uncle Shug’s on Main

• Statesboro: Friday morning at Uncle Shug’s on Main

• Sylvania: Thursday evening at Victory Garden General Store

• To Your Home Delivery (must add delivery to cart and prepay)

Watch for the market UPDATE on Wednesday night to get specific details about pickup times. If you want us to bring your order to your home, add Home Delivery to your cart. (Pickup times do not apply to home deliveries.)

Place your orders by midnight Tuesday for pickup Thursday or Friday. To make our process more efficient and to better meet health guidelines, we’re asking all our customers to PAY ON LINE. Register your debit or credit card at My Account and click “Pay Now” when you check out. Check your cart and make sure you’ve actually purchased all items. You’ll receive an email verifying your order.

We have more vendors and products on line than ever before!

Welcome new vendors Boykin Ranch and Soulstice Acres!

Special notes:
Southern Soaked is offering a special. On every purchase of Southern Soaked items over $20, this week they will ad a small mason jar 100% soy wax candle in a never before released scent- absolutely FREE!

Ma’s Country Pantry says Elderberry supplies may be dwindling elsewhere, but we still have plenty of stock reserves at this time!

Enjoy lots of fresh, local, delicous vegetables like spinach, kale, collards, turnips and turnip greens, mustard greens, mushrooms, green garlic, and green onions, asparagus, strawberries, broccoli, and much, much more!

We offer a full line of fresh and delicious dairy – Milk, buttermilk, chocolate milk, cream, half and half, butter, and ice-cream from Southern Swiss Dairy. They are a family owned and operated dairy in Waynesboro that offers products with pasteurized, non-homogenized milk from their line of Brown Swiss cows.

In addition to fresh, local, delicous vegetables, we have plenty of items you need. You can buy locally grown pastured poultry and meat like beef and pork, and sustainable seafood.

There’s loaves of bread, already baked, or you can purchase locally milled flour and cornmeal and make your own.

Enjoy sustainable seafood! We have Doug’s Wild Caught Alaska salmon! Purchase from our annual winter stock while it lasts, or order Georgia Wild Caught shrimp or NC coast flounder from Prosser’s Seafood.

If you want a delicious meal made from market products, but don’t have time to cook, you can purchase a healthy prepared meal from Victory Garden, 4 & 20 Bakers, Caribbean Feast, or a soup stock from Ma’s Country Pantry.

Looking for more? We’ve got coffee, honey, grits and cornmeal. Plus homemade dog biscuits, candles, lotions, and soaps. Plus, there’s lots of sweets and treats from Sugar Magnolia, 4 & 20 Bakers, Cakes by Rosie, Jacob’s Produce, and Victory Garden General Store.

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Market is open for orders!

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

COVID19: As far as we are aware, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown qualifies as “essential business” and 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. This market system may continue to be a good alternative for our community accessing food. We are and will continue to operate under CDC and federal guidelines to the best of our ability and knowledge. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Tuesday night with 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.

McColloms Market:  April FFFN Market is Open

Hi All:

I hope everyone is managing to stay healthy and sane.

The Market is now open until Monday night. Pick up will be next Friday from 4:30 pm on.

My plan is to package up and label all of the orders and place them on my front porch so that noone will have to deal with touching door knobs, etc. I’ll be wearing gloves and a mask when I do the packaging. I’ll also mark what you owe on your order and leave a box or envelope for your payment.

If you’d prefer that I walk your order out to your car, I’m happy to do that as well. Just give me a call once you’ve arrived.

Have a good weekend and happy shopping.
