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.
Northeast Georgia Locallygrown availability list for April 30.
Good evening Locavores,
Last week we talked about eggs on the market and the fact that GMO grains are not allowed in the hens feed.
The same is true for the meat sold in this market. Chickens, pork,and beef sold in this market are required to be raised on pasture and supplemental feed may not contain GMOs.
The farm families who produce meat work hard and pay higher price for gmo free feed in order to produce high quality meat free of contaminants.
We feel blessed to have these excellent and healthy products available in our local area.
Melon Head Farm has the first strawberries of the season available this week. They along with Leah Lake Farm also have asparagus listed.
For those who may not know this weekend is the Celebrate Clayton Event.
This celebration is a lot of fun and downtown Clayton blocked to auto traffic to make room for great arts, food,and music.
Saturday is also opening day for Simplyhomegrown Farmers Market. The market is at the Clayton City Hall complex on Hwy 76w and will be open from 9:00am until 1:00pm.
Have a great weekend and enjoy local food.
