UPDATED GROWERS NEWS:

M&S Farms: ANNOUCEMENT….we have lowered the prices of our beef so we can fill up our freezers for Spring. Bring your families back to the supper table! Our little family farms was created to provide a healthy alternative to buying protein for your family. We have a small herd of Angus cattle. We feed a high quality grain based feed and we do vaccinate our livestock to protect against infection and disease. We believe that the animals health is just as important as our own health. We do breed our cattle right here on our little farm. All of them are gentle with the minimum amount of stress. This ensures a better quality of product then you’ll ever get from a grocery store.

New to the Market…Backyard Tailz:

We creat fresh seed and suet products for backyard birds. Today we’ve started with several of our items: find our items in Gardens & Yards Catagory.

I also added a NEW PRODUCT!!! My Detox Bath Bombs have been added to the site, you can buy one to try or a pack of four! They are made with bentonite clay and a special blend of essential oils made to help support and detox your liver. Throw one (or two) in your bath and enjoy a nice soak!

Calico Farms: Trying to increase your protein intake this year? Go nuts! Be sure to check out our spicy herbed mixed nuts & sweet & spicy pecans – a mouth watering snack straight out of the resealable bag, thrown in chicken salad, or topping your favorite mixed greens.

When it’s this cold outside…it’s definitely tea time. Check out our organic house-blended teas (all delicious hot or iced!): Peppermint hibiscus, Bed time, Immune support & Summertime fruits. We also have in-mug tea steepers to go along with these loose teas to get more bang for your buck than the ball-style steepers because they allow the tea leaves to completely open up, meaning you can use less tea per brew!

If you’re looking to pamper yourself or someone else this this Valentine’s Day, consider our wellness products like our herbal bath tea & shower steamers. They are the perfect way to add aromatherapy to your daily routine.

Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): Welcome to the post subarctic blast.

What better way to start the New Year than with highly nutritional greens called Mirogreens? They pack 40 to 100% more vital nutrients than the adult verion. We grow organically with NON-GMO seeds and nutrient-dense soil. We look forward to providing the best for you in 2024.

Some more hearty and warm dishes are my green bean casserole. And I am now making chicken rosemary pot pie. The casserole is sure to be a delightful side to any dish. I make my own cream of mushroom soup for this and finish it with Parmigiano cheese. The pot pie is what you would be expecting loaded with peas, carrots, potato with the added flavor of rosemary. Puff pastry is laid on top and acts as the pie crust.

Finally if you haven’t had a Philly cheese steaks in a while. Try one of mine! 100% 1/2 pound of rib eye meat, delicious homemade cheese wiz sauce, sautéed onions, red bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sure to be one of the best sandwiches you have ever had!

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market Is Open for Ordering


Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

will be open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.

The Wednesday Market:  Time to Order!


Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. Check the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Technology has changed our lives in amazing ways. Do you remember what it was like to work in an office where the most sophisticated machine was an IBM Selectric III typewriter? There were no desktop computers, laptops, tablets, all-in-one scanners/printers/faxers. No FedEx. To copy documents, you had to go to a place like Kwik Kopy.

We are accustomed to technology making our lives much easier. We can do so many tasks instantly. Look for the perfect recipe? Three clicks of research and we have it! Need to place a Sam’s order for delivery? No problem, click away and hit “enter”. We take technology for granted – until something happens and we have no internet.

I do not know what happened with our weblog last weekend. I sent it out in the same manner at the same time I usually do, but some customers did not receive a notification. I have no idea why. I chalk it up to gremlins in the system somewhere.

Anyway, you do not have to wait to receive the weblog to be able to order. As long as the system is “on” for ordering, you can type in “The Wednesday Market Zebulon GA” in the search bar of your favorite web browser. We are the top result: The Wednesday Market – LocallyGrown.net. Click on it, and you will arrive at our home page. From there click “The Market” and you will see the ordering page.

If the above sounds too complex for you to follow, just pull up a previous week’s blog in your email and click the link in that blog to access the ordering page.

So, I hope this blog makes it out to all of you in Wednesday Market land. Despite the stormy weather, I hope you have a great weekend. Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

P.S. If you have questions about your order or if you need to contact us, please start with Nelda, as she is our primary market manager. I (Beverly) am also available, but I may not reply immediately. You may contact us by text, email, or phone call.
