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,
It’s gonna be cold, real cold starting the next couple of days. Just a quick reminder we’re on our winter schedule so market pickup ends at 6:30 and the earlier you come the better so we’re not shivering in the darkness. We truly appreciate your extra efforts when we get to go home early.
I also want to thank a few people and welcome some others. Gloryseeds Farm up in Rabun County recently donated some collapsible plastic crates that have really made our job a lot easier. You may have noticed that we can now sort your items into these crates so that when you arrive there’s a lot less scurrying around to find your items. Big thanks to them for making our lives easier. Also, HUGE thanks to Grace Calvary church who has been the sponsor of our pickup location in Clarkesville for a year and a half. We couldn’t have gotten luckier with a supportive location that has everything we need. Covered space, picnic tables, and just recently we got a key to the closet and can now keep our coolers and crates (and light) in there from week to week making everything so much easier, more organized, and efficient. We’re very fortunate to have such an outstanding community partner. Extra special thanks to Chuck and Amy for donating use of their home for pickups. It’s a privilege to get to see two of finest people in the North Georgia Mountains on a weekly basis, and their array of cats, chickens, goats and La Donna (isn’t that the name of the Pyreneese.
I want to welcome two new growers to the market this week. Nathan and Rebecca’s Farm near Clarkesville is a super cute homestead farm run by two young farmers in their early, early twenties. This week is their first listing with Green Onions, 10-15 shoots for $2.50. Welcome them to the market by making an order. And their kin to one of our long-time customers.
I also want to welcome Smart Chick Farms. They are located in Seneca, SC and this is their 3rd week listing. They are increasing our chicken product diversity by providing smaller cuts in addition to whole birds. 14 different products in total. You can check out their website at http://www.smartchickfarms.com/
Well, that should be good for this week. I was gonna talk about sowing cover crop seed as that was something I got to do out in the garden over the last two weeks but we’ll save that for another day.
Until then EAT WELL,
Justin in Habersham
and
Chuck in Rabun
