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.
thank you notes
Everyone write a quick thank you email to a farmer this week! If you don’t know the email and don’t feel like looking it up on our growers page, simply respond to this email with the name of the farm you want to email and I will send you their email.
This market website can be seen as quick and easy way to buy fresh food, but I want to encourage you this week to actually see the name of the GROWER that is behind a product that you have enjoyed in the past. Caution: this might surprise the pants off them!
I also want to take this opportunity to say that it has pained me in the past to read some very impersonal emails to farmers from customers, just because this is an online market. Please use email to spread kindness to your growers, not only negativity and expectations.
I received a thank you email this week that almost buckled my knees. It had nothing to do with food, but it made me realize that appreciation still translates through email. It also made me realize how many times I miss the opportunity to send a genuine thank you.
Don’t forget to place your order before 9pm tomorrow night and we’ll see you Wednesday!
