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 July 10th, 2013


This post expired on July 08, 2023.

Hey Local Food Lovers,

I want to start out tonight by welcoming all the new farms and other food producers that have joined us here at Locally Grown this summer. It’s quite exciting to see all our area markets growing with customers, with farms and with food. We’re growing right along with that trend.

Hill Manor Farm is right around the bend here in Clarkesville (in the Deep Creek river basin actually). They had some mighty good looking dewberries last week and this week I see cukes and lettuces. Garden Post is also a nearby farm by way of Wisconsin where they were part of the great farm to market scene in Madison. They’ve got lettuce, cucumbers, . Tony Smith of Shade Creek Farms is off to a great start with his trademark red, white and blue potatoes that he does for the fourth of July. I made RBW mashed potatoes and I thought they were really cool! He’s also got blueberries. Hollman Hollow has all kinds of amazing plants, and this week gourds!

I want to welcome back Liberty Farms who are seasonal growers Wesley and Sherri (well known for their bushels of okra) who are mixing it up this year with white half runner beans, sweet onions, squash, and jalapeno peppers.

This is Oakcrest Farm’s second year and we love seeing their beautiful Zinnia’s at market. If you’d like to donate your nice looking glass jars for them to use as vases (Clarkesville location only) you can sit them on the grill under the carport. Not too many though! And try and pick pretty ones.

Ok, that’s all I have time for tonight. I’ll be putting in a lengthy plug for Lake Rabun Hotel next week but just in case you’re in the mood for a good dinner this week go ahead and check out their schedule of featured farmer dinners.
