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.

Hey Local Food Lovers,
These are the final days of a pretty memorable visit to Thailand so out of respect for the limited time I have to enjoy where I am, I’m going to be brief in my message. And the internet connection here is pretty unreliable too so I should be quick.
Last week we went to an incredible Thai cooking school on an organic farm that I look forward to describing in detail. One reason that has been one of the highlights of the entire trip is that I can imagine north Georgia having a similar setup in which people travel to the mountains to learn how different crops grow and how to cook them. Confidence in cooking is one of the key ingredients to re-inventing a local food culture, and the respect that our teacher elicited for organic farming, for each different species of plant that is used, for the art of cooking, how to taste and adjust, and embracing a philosophy and way of life behind all of it were really beautiful. He also told lots of jokes! We started at 8:20 in the morning and finished at 3:30 and it was endlessly interesting the entire time. And hopefully now we know how to cook Thai food pretty comfortably.
I’m not sure what is listed this week, but I’m sure it’s tasty and delicious. I look forward to placing my own order this time next week and returning to all the wonderful aspects of home.
Until Then…. EAT WELL,
