MORE ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Locally Grown farmers markets are sponsored by the Georgia Mountains Farmers Network and provide multiple ways to connect you with local food from dozens of small farms within 80 miles committed to chemical-free growing practices all year long!

WHAT WE DO
This website is the way to pre-order from farmers every week, and all year long. We have in person market sites in Gainesville, Clarkesville, and Clayton, where local farmers are also welcome to setup their booths from 5-6:30pm. We want you to connect with local food from dozens of small farms within 80 miles committed to chemical-free growing practices. For the online preorder system, the farmers grow the food (no reselling allowed), list their product, harvest, pack, label, and drop off for you to swing by and purchase at a centralized location of your choice below.

OUR GROWERS

We prefer Certified Organic or Certified Naturally Grown farms and personally visit each farm before approving. Not all growers are required to have certification but all growers are committed to not using any synthetic chemicals on your food or the surrounding land. You can read through our GUIDELINES FOR GROWERS to learn how we approach the specifics of local and more sustainable.


WHO WE ARE

HOW IT WORKS

  • We have in person market sites in Gainesville, Clarkesville, and Clayton, where local farmers are welcome to setup booths from 5-6:30pm.
  • Approved Farmers can also use the market page to list what they predict will be ready for harvest that week.
  • Market opens for orders Fridays at 9 p.m. and stays open for orders through Monday at 9 p.m.
  • Farmers harvest, pack, and drop off your items on Wednesday
  • Volunteers organize your order in a basket with your name and it is ready for pickup at your selected pickup location from 5 – 6:30 p.m. Wednesday evening
  • Payment for pre-orders is accepted at pickup once you have items in your hands. We share a cash box with the farmers which means we combine your payments into one and pass it directly to them. We depend on your timely payment to operate smoothly.


    • MEMBERSHIP
    For the online preorder system, there is a small annual membership fee of $20 per household to help Northeast Georgia Locally Grown pre-order system with education efforts surrounding local foods. Membership is added to the fourth order and we are happy to waive the membership fee for those going through financial hardship.
