Champaign, OH: Gimme The Beat Boys
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away…
(Dobie Gray)
Let’s hear it…give us the beat that rocks this market…
It’s Sunday morning, and it’s a perfect day for ordering…
If your market manager ever gets a free second from baking, and catering, I promise I am going to add/update all Cosmic Charlie products…until then, go ahead and order what are about to become classics, and will be taking a backstage for a bit…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Welcome to this weeks Stones River Locally Grown Online Farmers Market. The Market is opens 8:00 am on Sunday Morning and closes 10:00 pm Monday evening. Order early before quantities available run out! www.stonesriver.locallygrown.net
Last week of February already! I can almost smell the Spring air, seed orders are arriving and potting soil is being mixed up…I’m ready to get my hands dirty! Enjoy the market this week, Great Growers with Great Selections.
News From Our Growers:
Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): It’s forage greens salad time! Try our miner’s lettuce, wild rocket arugula and chickweed for a delicious, fresh, hand-picked, forage greens salad. Our Ginger Fig and Wolfberry Mint Shrubs are great for adding to your choice of beverage or salad. Both our Rosemary Thyme and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus can also dress up a salad, as well as chips, cut vegetable, or whatever you can imagine.
Short Mountain Cultures: We now offer a range of Hatcher Dairy Milk on SRM!! Our offerings include cream top whole milk, chocolate milk, half and half and heavy cream. Support local milk! It is some of the BEST milk around! Also be sure to check out our Tempeh (pronounced TEM-pay)it is a cultured, fermented plant based protein native to Indonesia. Delicious, versatile and quick to prepare tempeh readily accepts your favorite sauces, marinades and dry rub seasonings.
Wedge Oak Farm: Potsticker Sausage: this sausage tastes like the filling of a Potsticker or dumpling. Rich with Scallion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil. Try it with your favorite Egg roll in a Bowl recipe….Boudin Sausage- a traditional Cajun sausage made with pork, rice, and loaded with garlic, onion, bell peppers, scallion and parsley. Get ready for Marti Gras 2020 or anytime of the year…
Honky Tonk Cheesesteak Sausage-
beef, white cheddar, jalapeños, and bacon. We like to call it Honky Tonk cause it is hot and smoky….
Winter Goose- “poultry-only” sausage rich with all spice and cloves. A delicious way to try goose.
Flying S Farms: Garlic and Onions still available. Our Fluffy Bottom Girls are busy producing delicious eggs. Our Sour Dough Breads/Rolls are always great anytime of the year but during the Winter chilly days they go well with soups and stews or even a bread pudding.
Caney Fork Farms: Our Winter Season schedule with the Market is monthly, next times will be February 26th and March 25th, returning weekly in April 2020.

Grower Notes
WHAT A MESS!
Proverbs 14:4
Even if one does not hold to faith, there’s no denying that the Book of Proverbs in the Bible is rich with wisdom and insight. Things like “Pay that bill while you’ve got the money” (paraphrase of Proverbs 3:27) and “Keep the noise down if you’re the first one to wake up” (Proverbs 27:14) are examples of advice that can prevent problems and help one get along better in life.
Proverbs 14:4 puzzled me till our oldest daughter went to college. She called home one day laughing at a professor’s take on the verse. The missing word was . . well, poop (or any equivalent). Oxen produce poop. If you have a clean crib (stable) with no poop it means there’s no oxen. If you have oxen you are getting serious work done there will be poop. The whole idea is that there will less than pleasant aspects of any job where real work is being done. It may not be in the form that oxen produce, but there will be frustration, waste, confusion, deadlines, personality conflicts, etc. . . . i.e. “poop”.
I see you grinning! You know what I’m talking about!
At least on a farm we can collect that waste and do something useful with it – like compost it and return it to the earth to make our soil healthier and our plants grow better. Things like stress and deadlines though – my best advice is learn all you can to deal with it wisely and well. Who knows, you might wind up writing the next bestseller!
One of the things that has made me think about this is the recent hoopla about a presidential candidate’s disparaging remarks about farming. A lot of people have been deeply offended. I don’t know what he’s accomplished aside from creating a big smelly stink!
I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me its a gentle reminder that 1) When my own load seems heavy that I’ve not walked in anyone else’s shoes so I need to be careful not to think their load is any easier than mine. 2) If someone has a big mess on their hands, they may just be in the midst of getting a huge job done (like my garden right now). 3) Learn what you can and 4) Clean as you go.
Here’s hoping your messes are productive!
Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to come out yesterday. We thought several times about the “old days” when pickup was on the other side of the property under a tent and how fortunate we are to have electricity and protection in our current Pickup Location. Thanks JD – you guys are the best!
If you missed it last week we published our Spring Market Schedule. Barring some unforeseen event we will continue our online ordering schedule till late June or early July for a small break. In both April and May we will have a one day pop up Market as follows:
DANNY’S GREENS:This is the last week Danny will have carrots for a few weeks. He expects his next planting to be ready by late March.

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.
CLG: CLG pick up today 3:30 PM until 6 PM.
