Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!

The vegetable offerings on Foothills Market may seem unusually small this week, but it’s a temporary thing. Jeff from Happy Horseshoe Farm is traveling today and hasn’t had a chance to see how much is available. When he gets home later today, he’ll update the market, so please give us until this evening.

In the meantime, we have a couple of new offerings on the market – garlic scapes and new onions. If you’ve never cooked with garlic scapes, don’t worry – they have the same wonderful aroma and flavor as garlic bulbs and can be used in the same ways in recipes.

The market is open until Wednesday at 5:00 p.m., and we’ll have pickup on Thursday afternoon. Sorry about the inconvenience of having to wait a few more hours for our complete offerings, and thank you for your patience!

Growers News:

Welcome Back…Rainbow Hill Farm. Several live produce plants available and Strawberry Plants, more to come. Excited to be back this season.

Calico Farms: Scones are back & this week we’re offering our lemon blackberry flavor, sold in 3-packs. All organic, dairy-free & delicious! Our scones are our most popular product, hands-down.

New this week is our mild organic salsa – canned in 16 oz jars & perfect for dipping, topping tacos, nachos, eggs, etc. We use fresh tomatoes and there’s no added sugar, just freshness in a jar. Thia has become a customer favorite as well since we added it last year.

If you’re a chocolate milk or ice cream lover, try our organic chocolate syrup. It’s decadently rich, dairy-free with the cleanest ingredients and also makes an incredible cafe mocha. Canned in 8 oz jars.

Finally, grab some of our sinus-relief shower steamers. These have been flying off the shelves the last few weeks thanks to allergy season being in full swing. Ya gotta love it, right?

Safe and Sound Soup Co.: This week I am selling my 1/2 gallon laundry soaps at a discounted price! The discounted scents I have are Orange Bergamot, Lemon Eucalyptus, and Lavender. They are discounted to $12 each. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on your favorite scent, or to try my laundry soap if you’ve been considering it but it’s not in the budget. Here’s some info about it in case you have never seen my laundry soap before. I make it using only 5 ingredients:
Water —just plain H20
Borax —also known as boron. This is a natural mineral found in the earth that is a great natural cleaning agent
Washing Soda—This is simply a more concentrated form of baking soda. It’s great for whitening and deodorizing.
Castile Soap—This is a gentle cleanser made from oils such as coconut and olive oil. It’s a great low suds soap that works well for sensitive skin.
Essential oils— this gives the soap a light scent without using chemical fragrances. I use Therapeutic grade essential oils and they are great cleaning agents. They also give your clothes a clean, light scent that isn’t overpowering. My laundry soap contains zero chemicals, and most detergents use chemicals to bind the molecules of the cleaning agents and fragrances to the molecules in the water. Safe & Sound Soap Co. Laundry Soap does a great job of cleaning your clothes, without the unnecessary chemicals.
I also have Small Batch Bar Soaps, Body Scrubs, and Car Air Fresheners that are all made with safe, clean ingredients.

Tailwynds Farm: We have some new cuts of beef available. We have a Picanha Roast Cut. This cut can be grilled to perfection, has wonderful flavor and a similar texture to a sirloin steak and to top it off try a homemade fresh strawberry pie for dessert. If you have not tried a Tomahawk steak we still have some available. We have had amazing reviews on these cuts with customers saying it was the best and most tender steak they have ever eaten. Fire up those grills and give one a try. We have many crops already growing and plan to have all the farm fresh vegetables available as soon as they start coming in.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Welcome back! We have several live vegetable plants to choose from, more to come.

Emerald Acres: Strawberries, Lettuce Mix, Mixed Lettuce Heads and Spring Mix of Flowers.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market is Open for Orders

Dothan, Alabama:  M@D is OpEn for OrDeRs - April 27, 2024 Newsletter

MISC MARKET NOTES

Food for Thought? I don’t think so!

Recently I ran into someone who was very passionate about the advances made in the last one hundred years in world’s food supply. It was only a brief glimpse into their bubble and fortunately I wasn’t given the chance to say anything otherwise I may have missed the moment. And I may have got into an argument. This person believed 1000% that the industrialization of agriculture was a good thing. GMO’s and Roundup in particular were blessings because big agra can grow more food to feed the world.

That’s the story for sure and I can hear you groan from here. I’m sensing a few eyeballs rolling around like marbles too.

Most of the time we try to share informational and uplifting things in this newsletter, but given that we are a SUSTAINABLE market utilizing natural growing methods, we all know it’s not all sunshine and roses out there where the mass food supply is concerned. And it’s not getting any better. Red dye used to be the awful thing we avoided. Now fast food restaurants are offering fake meat burgers and cricket flour is being added to processed foods.

All of us in our M@D family are at different levels in our food/health journey and no doubt the tolerance levels for different things are all over the map. So we educate, uplift, support, encourage and let people figure out what does and does not work for their particular situation. That being said, we are sharing some of the most recent “progress” in industrialized food so that you can make up your own mind about it.

Just know that our Market will never offer it!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!

Martin's Farmstand:  Abundant Spinach

The farm stand is open tomorrow (Saturday April 27,2024) from noon till 5 pm.
In August and early September I plant lots of spinach. I spread this out over about 4-5 plantings. We harvest spinach off of those plantings as needed throughout October and November. It is hard to get the timing on the late spinach just right because if it is a little warmer or cooler in the fall months it speeds up or slows down the growth. This is the same spinach that I attempt to overwinter. I am overwintering this spinach with no extra protection. Some years it works better than others however there are details that we can manage. The first one is site selection. It must be on a well drained site that is not prone to form sheet ice in the winter. Sheet ice is sure to winter kill it. An area that the snow drifts into is better than a windswept knoll. It needs to go into winter with enough root strength that it is strong but also just the right amount of youngness. If a planting is old enough to get a second cutting in the fall it almost always dies out. The only way I know to get this timing right is to do plantings about 7 days apart. One never knows if this one or that is the best. This year we hit it right. I have about 3,000 feet of row that is as pretty as can be. We have abundance of spinach to harvest in the next 4-5 weeks. The overwintered spinach bolts quickly when the weather gets hot so it usually only lasts till sometime in late May. The spring seeded spinach will not be ready till sometime in June so there is almost always a gap in availability after the over wintered spinach is gone by and before the spring seeded crop is ready. The last detail I wish to mention is that it tastes really mild and good right now. We have been testing it on our table. Delicious. Eat with the seasons. Eat lots of what is ready. The seasons rush on quickly and by the time one is tired of this it is time to eat the next new thing. Summer hours will start soon. The trigger for that is the beginning of asparagus harvest in early May. Daniel
