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 January 15, 2014
This post expired on January 13, 2024.
Hey Local Food Lovers,
Hope everyone is enjoying the local food being back. It was a hard week on crops what with the 6 degree weather and all, but thankfully we have some hardworking farms that are willing to double and triple cover their crops with row covers to protect them from the winter blast. It’s like tucking your babies in at night. Everyone is enjoying not having to do that tonight though.
This week I want to prepare folks for a quick and easy survey that will go out later this week with a very short turnaround time. I thought I’d talk about it a bit so when it comes out you’ll be able to respond fast.
You’ll be happy to hear that Locally Grown is trying to grow this year. As we do we want to get your input on what you’d like to see more of. We’ll be getting your opinions on the types of products you’d like to see, especially during these cold months like this. Your answers will have an impact on what farmers will grow, when, how much and if and how it is processed into a value added product.
We thank you in advance for sharing your ideas, so keep on the lookout for that soon.
Meanwhile, keep doing what you’re doing. Sales were great our first week back, and are looking good so far this week too.
Here’s my one very simple tasty recipe recommendation:
Bake a sweet potato until soft
Split and put butter, chopped cilantro and lime juice
Eat and Enjoy!
