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 29, 2013


This post expired on May 27, 2023.

Hey Local Food Lovers,

This will have to be a short message tonight so I’m just gonna hit two highlights.

Our GEORGIA MOUNTAINS FARM TOUR is coming up in just under three weeks. I think we’re still looking for about 4 or 5 volunteers for Sunday to help out at some of the farms in Rabun County. If you’re interested let us know as you’ll get to attend Saturday for free and get an awesome tour T-shirt. We’re asking folks to help with at least a four hour shift from about 12:30 until as late as you’re able to stay (ends at 6pm). It’s a great way to give back to the farming community and be a part of our local food community. Just send an e-mail to Maggie at m.vancantfort@gmail.com.

To purchase a weekend pass to the TOUR just add it to your shopping cart. That will remind us to bring a brochure for you to market this week. Just write a separate check to SRWA.

Details on the Tour are at http://georgiamfn.blogspot.com/

The other little tidbit this week is all the awesome food I’ve been eating. My favorite thing about Locally Grown is how the food you find here changes all the time. It keeps life interesting. Here were my treats of the week.

Roasted that pastured chicken I mentioned last week. Delicious! Took the carcass and made chicken stock tonight after browning some onions.

The oyster mushrooms are incredible. Took the first half and browned them on high heat in butter with a splash of apple cider vinegar. That brown crust and the fresh delicateness! Incredible. What a great new addition to the market. Took the other half and put them on a handmade pizza. Gourmet all around. I’ll be trying the Shitakes this week.

I made homemade tacos with Gibson Farms beef, and took Mighty Micros pea shoots and chopped them up and put them on top with a squirt of lime.

Had Leah Lake kale my usual way. You can find that recipe under the recipes section.

Ate bunches of Oakcrest Farms beautiful radishes. A very refreshing snack.

What am I forgetting. Oh yes, this one will hurt as I noticed they are sold out. Belflower’s snow peas. Wow. They are so sweet it’s like eating candy. Seriously!

There’s so much to plug this week but I’ll make it simple. Buy every order of Chuck’s garlic scapes you can. It’s another one of those short season items and if you’re planning on doing any grilling do yourself a favor and toss ’em in oil and grill ’em until they just start to brown and then scarf ’em down. A favorite treat!

Hope you have a hum-dinger of a week and…..

EAT WELL,
