Greener Acres Farm:  Pre-order Christmas Baskets from Vale Wood Farms


Accepting Pre-orders Now!!

For a LIMITED TIME ONLY we are accepting pre-orders for Christmas baskets from Vale Wood Farms. Because these baskets include items that they source locally from other producers (cookies, chocolate spoons, and coffee) pre-orders are required for these gift baskets so that we know that demand can be met.

These gift baskets make gift giving super easy and can introduce your friends and family to the joys of shopping local and supporting local farmers and producers. Plus, they are affordable and delivered right to your doorstep. No need to go out and fight the holiday crowds.

Santa’s Milk & Cookies Gift Basket
Get ready for Saint Nick with this glass quart of milk tied with wrapped holiday cookies from a local bakery.

Hot Cocoa Gift Basket
Warm up on those cold winter mornings with chocolate milk paired with custom stirring spoons made entirely of chocolate.

Christmas Morning Basket
This thoughtful gift provides 12oz of local favorite Rothrock Coffee plus half-n-half, whole milk, and egg nog. Snuggle up and enjoy your Holiday morning.

Pre-orders will be taken through Saturday, December 9th, with delivery Friday, December 22nd. We will keep the ordering open now through the 9th to ensure that you have every chance to order these baskets. (Please note that all other items will be updated on the 3rd for this coming week’s delivery)

Order today, supplies are LIMITED and the Vale Wood gift baskets will become unavailable for ordering on December 10.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!




Manchester Locally Grown market





We always have a few new farmers, waiting their turn to join our market and offer their wonderful products to all our customers. In order to add more farmers, we feel it would be best to grow our customer base a bit. We want to be able to offer you and your friends some new local farm products.

The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.

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!
