Swainsboro Farmer's Market:  This market is preparing to open!


This market was added to the LocallyGrown.net system on Monday June 03, 2024 09:26 AM. It should be open for business soon!

Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!


Foothills Market is going to shamelessly steal a fast-food slogan this week – We’ve got the meats! After a hiatus, pork and lamb are back on the market, along with additional cuts of beef. We’re also excited to announce we now have chicken! A new grower, Cattle and Chaos Family Farm from Paris, has joined the market and has USDA-certified chicken.

Besides meat, we also have the first summer tomatoes, both slicers and cherry, available! That’s in addition to our regular selection of spring vegetables, baked goods, eggs and jams.

Browse the market between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. Click the button to place your order, and we’ll have it all ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

Eat something fresh and local this week!

What’s better than fresh locally-grown fruit? Remember to order your Ralston rice this week! It won’t be available again until next month… We would like to welcome Galla Creek Farm; we can’t wait to see what they are growing! This week they have red and green leaf lettuce. Check out Lost Eden’s dried catnip as well as his herbal tea blend and wildflower bouquet. Take a look at the beautiful florist-quality flowers available from Sulphur Springs Truck Patch and Violet Fields! McAnulty Mercantile has some smoked salt with rosemary to flavor your foods and her granola is always delicious! Lots of fresh herbs are in season, as well; they are great with Dunrovin chicken! Don’t miss great cuts of beef like beef tips from R&D or some great deals on family packs from C3 Beef. Bluff Top has fresh ham steaks and Porch Swing Farms spicy Italian sausage would make a fantastic lasagna with some of Meadowlark’s fresh ricotta cheese! Isn’t She Sweet has their cinnamon rolls available this week, Sweetbirds Candy Kitchen’s flavor of the week is wedding cake and Yum Yum Sweets by K has listed a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. Shop for your favorite fresh eggs, try some handmade pasta from Wild Hare, lemon bread from Lucky Star, chocolate white chip cookies from Kaitlyn’s Sweets and Treats or sourdough English muffins from Skyline!

Also – new to the market – our medium organic salsa. Same recipe as our mild salsa, just with more jalapenos and seeds. Sold in 16 oz or 31 oz jars.

Finally, we have our most popular scones available in 3-packs this week – lemon blueberry. Always organic, super moist & dairy free, popping with bright, summery citrus flavors and sweet blueberries. Try some today – I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Foster Bakery: New to our Market, highly recommended by NashPhilly.
Do you like bread? We now have Plain White or Wheat Bread.

Enjoy this staple guilt-free by buying a plain white or whole wheat loaf from me. Unlike many commercial bakeries that use bromated/carcinogenic ingredients, I use simple and minimally processed ingredients to make a delicious and filling bread. Bread made from whole wheat flour contains greater amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins. 2-3 slices meets 15% of your daily iron needs and over a quarter of the recommended fiber intake. Whole wheat bread is also a great food to aid weight loss (ask me: I lost 20 pounds after I started making this bread)! This loaf makes approximately 10-12 slices + 2 endpieces. Slice as you go for best quality (unless if you plan to freeze it). Since my bread doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best to consume or freeze within 3-4 days of picking up. The bags are freezer friendly.

NashPhilly: Several prepared items in the Soup, Seasonal Side Dishes and Noodles, Pasta, Italian Sauces Category. Perfect for your upcoming Mother’s Day meal or this weeks meals.

Also enjoy our newly ‘salads’ during the hot summer months along with our meals and side dishes.

Pinky’s Micro’s:
New Spring blend of power packed microgreens…Romaine, Golden Leeks, Lemon Basil and Red Panda Sorrell.
Also check out our other Micro’s – Basic Salad Mix, Broccoli, Cilantro, Pea, Radish, Red Amaranth, Sunflower and Wheat Grass Shots.

Quarter Spring Farm: has all the affordable luxury that you need this spring. From our moisturizing soaps to our delicious meats and eggs, we have all the goodies to pamper you. You work hard, so treat yourself to an incredible dining experience with our lamb or chicken. It’s healthier and tastier than conventionally grown meats, and better for the planet, too. Our amazing goat milk soaps and lotions will leave your skin feeling like you just dropped 2 grand at a high end spa. You deserve nice things, so let us provide them to you.

Kumaika Coffee:
If you have not started your morning with our Coffee, you are missing out! We have Dark, Medium and Light Roasted Beans. We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and/or Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler of all 3.

Variety will pick up in the coming weeks with a fresh crop of lettuce, green beans and the early tomatoes are beginning to take shape. The onions are also looking good and and starting to bulb up, our garlic is almost ready. Stop by this week to see what our other vendors have to offer and we hope to see you on Wednesday.

Blessings,

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market Is Open for Orders


Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market

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

The Wednesday Market:  Ordering is Open for The Wednesday Market


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:

Last week one of my co-workers gave me some yellow summer squash from her garden. As we were talking, she pulled out her cell phone and said, “You’re going to think I’m crazy when I share this with you, but I just have to show someone something that made me so happy this morning!” She passed her phone to me, and I saw a close-up picture of a bee curled up asleep in the petals of a hydrangea blossom. My friend said she purposely chooses plants to attract butterflies and bees, so she was touched to see the scene of a sweet little bee taking a nap in her flowers. I said, “Friend, I don’t think you’re crazy at all!”

Indeed, bees and butterflies are important to agriculture. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce. That’s one out of every three bites of food you eat.” Let’s be kind to bees and butterflies!

To learn more about pollinators and their importance, click this link: https://www.usda.gov/peoples-garden/pollinators#:~:text=Pollinators%20by%20Numbers&text=More%20than%203%2C500%20species%20of,and%20beetles%20and%20other%20insects

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

Thanks,
Beverly

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

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!
