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 April 1st , 2015
Hey Local Food Lovers,
It’s gonna be a quick one this week. We do want to remind everyone that our winter hours officially ended last week (and hopefully winter ended right along with it). That means you now have from 5-7pm for pickups. As warmer days and brighter nights prevail it should be more and more pleasant to be out and about in the evenings.
We want to put out one final plug for our 2015 customer survey to find out what kind of fruits and veggies and other products you’d like to see more of in 2015. This survey helps us adjust the market to meet your needs so please share your ideas. Just click the link below. It only takes a minute or two.

On April 18th from 10-2 Melon Head Farms will be having an on-farm plant sale. If you’re looking to get out on a farm in the near future, this is a great opportunity. Visit their website.

A few weeks ago Andrew posted a great video of Chuck Mashburn, the co-founder of the NGLG market talking about the amazing jerusalem artichoke. This is a crop we all should know more about for its taste, and nutrition. And it’s just a cool thing to grow. See why in this great short video.
There are lots of plants listed this week for gardeners! We’re hopefully past the worst of the weather so if you’re feeling brave, start planting! Please don’t buy those junk Bonnie plants at Wal-Mart this year. You won’t regret supporting local farmers by buying their starts. Grow what the farmers grow!
That’s it for tonight.
EAT WELL,
Justin, Chuck, Teri and Andrew
