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.

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Mar 1, 2020


We have not been running an active market for February, but now time is coming to invite you back to the farm for our winter storage vegetables (squashes, potatoes, onions, carrots) winter greens (collards, kales, chards, parsley) and soon, rhubarb and the first salad greens from the greenhouse.
I’d like you to come and meet Nick LaMarsh, who will be taking over the market garden and store from now on. He’s got lots of ideas for what to grow, how to cook it, and even preserve it by lacto-fermentation. He’s raising rabbits and broiler chickens first in the greenhouse and later on pasture. You can post your questions here on the blog, ask himi about Korean Natural Farming for instance.
We’re still keeping the Lynchlineback cows for breeding family milk cows and pastured beef. There are two animals in the freezer now as of Feb 1st. Nice selection of steaks, roasts, organs and ground beef.

Healthy Eating,
Ian, Cami, Nick and Angie

Recipes

Honey Roasted Peanuts

This is a recipe we tried this week using our own honey and crushed red pepper. Be careful – it is so addicting. The next time I make it I might try it without the added sugar as I think it would still be amazing without it.
If you would like to go to the original recipe we found it on this website https://www.thespruceeats.com/honey-roasted-peanuts-521170?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mobilesharebutton2
Ingredients
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons salt (divided)
• 1 pound peanuts (preferably raw)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper (optional but amazing)
Steps to Make It
1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C).
4. Place the butter, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, red pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until the butter is melted, about 45 seconds, stirring halfway through. Once melted, stir until the liquid is smooth.
5. Add the peanuts to the honey mixture and stir until they’re all coated.
6. Pour the peanuts out onto the prepared baking sheet and spread them into an even layer.
7. Bake the peanuts for a total of 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning. The peanuts at the edges will brown faster, so it’s important to stir regularly to get an even roasting.
8. Once the peanuts are golden brown, remove them from the oven and stir again to distribute the honey on the baking sheet.
9. After a minute or two, sprinkle the granulated sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon of salt on top and stir again, to give them a bit of texture.
10. As they cool at room temperature, stir occasionally, to break up any big clumps.
11. Once the peanuts have cooled completely, place them in an airtight container or plastic bag and store them at room temperature.
Tip
• It’s best to use raw nuts in this recipe, but if you can’t find raw peanuts, use nuts with as little processing and salt as you can find.

Market News




Work has rapidly been picking up on the farm. Though we are still waiting on goat kids to be born, we are now able to view the barn with our Goat Cam. This is fantastic for reducing our late night trips back to the farm to check on the expectant moms. We hope to someday have the camera accessible for public viewing – especially when the kids are all bouncing around.
We have also been continueing on with our maple syrup production. We have now surpassed our all time high last year of 22 gallons. There was a large batch that darkened quite a bit and will be great for those that love intense maple flavor. I still like the dark on pancakes but this batch will be particulary good for baking and cooking where maple flavors are often lost.
More soap is curing this week with a beautiful batch of lime basil. The soap trunk looked beautifully full for our first outing of the year at the Toxic Beauty showing. It was a very eye opening documentary exposing the lack of regulation in the beauty industry. We urge everyone to see it at some point. Our next in person market will be in Troy on the first Tuesday of April at the Miami County Locally Grown Virtual Market.
And lastly we thought you would all be thrilled to know that the planting has commenced. We have a couple dozen trays of seeds getting ready to germinate. It won’t be long now til we are all eating fresh, organic vegetables again.





I don’t think we have anything new to add this week…though look for our Deliciously Dark Syrup, and sourdough bread coming on soon. Thanks to all our great customers.

Coming Events

I still haven’t scheduled the soap workshop but am still planning for April. I will let you know as soon as it is arranged!

We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthy food and local handmade products
