The Weblog

We send out cool articles and farmer highlights using a different email program. You can see the archives of those emails here and through our facebook page! We use this “weblog” every Friday evening to let you know the market page is accepting orders (look for the little add to cart buttons next to products). Northeast Georgia Locally Grown was officially OPENED on Monday, April 26th, 2010 and we are so thankful that you are helping support fresh local foods each week.

Locally Grown - Availability for May 8th, 2012


This post expired on May 06, 2023.

Hey Local Food Lovers,

I want to start out tonight by making some good plugs for some great springtime products. As many of you know there are quite a few items that you can only get for a very short season and I wanted to remind you what those are for the SPRING:

ASPARAGUS – there’s only about 3 more weeks left
BEETS – we often have these through early summer sometimes
Spring GARLIC / Garlic Scallions – milder taste / very springtimey
PEAS
RADISH
RHUBARB
SPINACH – we have 4 growers posting this product this week.
STRAWBERRIES – make sure you scroll to the end and order a quart from Mountain Earth Farms

Wow, that’s a fun list. Of course there are many other items that like cooler weather like Swiss Chard, Arugula, Collards, almost all the greens so don’t forget those.

One last big plug this week. If you would like to visit many of the farms that sell through Locally Grown this summer your chance is coming in just over a month. The second annual GEORGIA MOUNTAINS FARM TOUR will be on Saturday and Sunday June 15 and 16. PASSES are on sale now and you can reserve yours right here through Locally Grown. Just look for it amongst the products and add it to your shopping cart.

Grab some friends and tour around north Georgia’s farms for just $30 for the entire carload. Choose from 16 farms. Bring a cooler and stock up on delicious, fresh, local, sustainable food.

You can also visit the TOUR WEBSITE

or if you don’t plan to make a purchase through Locally Grown you can PURCHASE PASSES HERE

and we’ll mail you the brochure.

It’s the best way to see what’s going on with Local Farms in the north Georgia Mountains and meet some of the farms who grow your food.

One last reminder before we sign off. Next week will be our 2013 Locally Grown kickoff and to shake things up a bit we’ll be starting our new Market opening time next Friday May 10th at 9pm. We’ll send you a short e-mail reminder that night, then you’ll get your usual Sunday e-mail like this one. But you’ll have two whole extra days to shop! We hope this makes it easier for more people to check out all our great offerings every week. And you can always place your first order on Friday then come back Sunday and see if anything new has been added and order a couple more.

It’s a great week to invite a friend to check out Locally Grown so please forward our message to a friend.

Thanks and ….

EAT WELL,
