Grower Notes
PERDIDO VINEGARS
The backstory for what follows is an interrupted conversation about how Mrs. M uses flavored vinegars. This is one of those times when we ALL benefit and I can’t wait to try these ideas! (Ros)
“I wanted to follow up on our conversation about these vinegars. I have been using them for some time now and am in love with them.
One of my favorite light side dishes is cucumbers, tomatoes and onions in vinegar and oil. This time of year cucumbers aren’t readily available so I substituted them with bell peppers and used the cucumber vinegar with a splash of oil and salt and pepper. They are so tasty after about an hour in this mixture and the cucumber taste really comes thru.
One thing Mark and I enjoy doing is to grill, yes we’re hardcore and do it year round. Quite often we grill fruit as our dessert. I use oranges, grapefruit, pineapple and peaches as well as plums. I cut them I half and brush the cut side with olive oil before grilling to keep it from sticking and when it’s done I splash a flavored vinegar over it and serve with vanilla ice cream. My favorites that I’m using right now are the blueberry and Satsuma orange vinegars.
You should encourage the other Market at Dothan member to try these items cause I think they’re great. Plus, everyone who knows me knows that I don’t recommend products unless Im extremely satisfied. “

So great to have SO MUCH PRODUCE available this January. One of the best things about living in this area is the year round growing seasons. Of course nature throws curve balls now and then that sometimes destroys vegetation, but the soil is always willing to forgive and start over. This is a blessing we don’t take for granted! We hope you’ll take advantage of the Fresh, Local, Sustainable and Year Round foods our growers supply.

AVALON FARMS: What I Did On My Christmas Vacation…
With all the problems we’ve had producing transplants, building a greenhouse has been on our wishlist. Over Christmas, we finally started construction. The completed greenhouse will be 16 by 24 feet, more than enough space for our farm needs and a big corner space for my Dad to play with. Had to purchase new lumber but will be utilizing recycled windows and roofing tin from old chicken houses. Benches will be built out of reclaimed wood too.
Those son-in-laws with real construction training come in handy!
The plan is to be finished and start plants by the end of this month. Stay tuned for updates.
HORTONS FARM We managed some progress during Christmas break on the fence/back yard/garden project, namely, DIRT! The dirt that’s been coming out of the back yard has been piled up in the garden to contribute to new raised beds. Mr. H has located affordable material and as soon as we deal with some design issues we’ll start rebuilding around the greenhouse and moving the perennials to new beds. The plan is to create permaculture hybrid beds using wood and organic matter from here on the farm and . . . dirt

McColloms Market: 2020 Dates & New Pick-Up Day
Hi All:
Happy New Year!!!!
In order to accommodate the needs of our wonderful producers, I’m making a change in the FFFN schedule this Spring. If it works out, I’ll be doing the same thing in the Fall.
The orders will still open on a Friday, with the first one coming up on Friday, January 11th. The orders will close, as usual, on the following Monday night but the pick up day will be the Friday after that from 4:30 to 6:30 – NOT WEDNESDAY.
I hope this won’t cause any great disruption in your lives. I will continue to be as flexible as needed.
Here’s a link to the page with the other dates: https://mccollomsmarketsl.locallygrown.net/.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks a million.

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!

Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
