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 15th, 2012
This post expired on May 11, 2023.
Hey Local Food Lovers,
Whether you are brand new to Locally Grown or have been with us from the beginning, we want to welcome you to the first week of our extended ordering hours!
For the last 3 years we’ve had a rather short ordering window from Sunday at 9pm until Monday at 9pm (just 24 hours) for customers to peruse the market looking for local food goodies. We hope that by adding two more days to that timeframe (Friday – Monday) we may make it easier for some of you to check out the market all weekend.
Pickup is still on Wednesday from 5-7pm. Please be sure and mark your calendars to pick up your order and be sure to give us your cell phone on your account so we can reach you if it looks like you forgot. If you don’t make it by 7 pm we do have to bill your account as farmers pack orders specifically for you and leave it at the market in good faith that you’ll come and pay for it. It’s a great system, very convenient, and allows you to buy food from farms across at least a 5 county area of Northeast Georgia.
That’s the great thing about our market. Over 20 farms and just about every food group is represented.
Friday messages will typically be shorter, just to let you know the market is on, then we’ll do our usual Sunday night thing where we ooh and aah over all the great offerings. And I usually will give a tip or two on some great ways to eat some local food.
So have it and don’t forget to ……
EAT WELL,
Justin in Habersham
