Do you know that March is the beginning of strawberry season in Georgia? My Grandma Dean was a skilled gardener, and some of my best childhood memories involve times we spent together in her gardens. She grew a variety of fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, corn, green beans, cherries, and strawberries. One fine spring day Grandma and I set out to the strawberry patch. I carried a pail and Grandma, wearing her flipflops, lead the way down the path. We commenced picking berries. But then I came to one that just would not budge no matter how hard I pulled on it. Grandma laughed and said, “Child, you’re trying to pick my toe!” Indeed, upon further inspection, I recognized Grandma’s big toe, with the toenail painted bright red, the same vibrant color as the strawberries! Recalling this memory puts a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I can’t wait for locally grown strawberries!

Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,
Beverly

Connie's Cornucopia:  NOW In Stock

Just picked up some Boneless Ribeye Steaks. Get them while in stock.

Now Selling Microgreens: Basic Salad, Broccoli, Kale, Mix with a Kick, Pea Shoots, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass. If you don’t like to try the fresh, we do have it in a Dried Seasoning great to sprinkle on Salad, Meats, Pasta and so much more.

Microgreens are very nutritious.

Microgreens are packed with nutrients.

While their nutrient contents vary slightly, most varieties tend to be rich in potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper.

Microgreens are also a great source of beneficial plant compounds like antioxidants.

What’s more, their nutrient content is concentrated, which means that they often contain higher vitamin, mineral and antioxidant levels than the same quantity of mature greens.

In fact, research comparing microgreens to more mature greens reports that nutrient levels in microgreens can be up to nine times higher than those found in mature greens.

Research also shows that they contain a wider variety of polyphenols and other antioxidants than their mature counterparts.

One study measured vitamin and antioxidant concentrations in 25 commercially available microgreens. These levels were then compared to levels recorded in the USDA National Nutrient Database for mature leaves.

Although vitamin and antioxidant levels varied, levels measured in microgreens were up to 40 times higher than those recorded for more mature leaves.

Thanks
Connie

Martin's Farmstand:  Spring Dug Parsnips

The farm stand is open today from noon till 5 pm. Yesterday I dug the parsnips that we had left to overwinter in the field. We washed them up after supper and set the stand in order. There is still a fairly complete selection of cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. Spring dug parsnips are extra sweet and delicious so come and get some sometime in the next few weeks. We like to roast them along with other root vegetables and meat in a pot roast.
We will be open the Friday afternoon before Easter March 29th instead of on Saturday March 30.
All the other Saturday’s in March/ April will be open as normal. Summer hours will resume in May whenever the asparagus harvest begins. Daniel

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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, 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.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!
