Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Weblog Entry





Good morning!

The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm. Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

The farmers and 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.

Please don’t forget that there may be a little extra traffic between you and market this week, because of the start of the Bonnaroo Music Festival. Just allow a little extra travel time.

Farm News of the Week




Well, not exactly a new farm – actually a returning farm –
Erdmann Farm has listed Swiss chard, as well as ‘Anaheim’ and ‘Islander’ peppers, and John hopes to be able to add to our list of vegetables as the season progresses.






And we have more new listings of spring vegetables from Dayspring Farm (3 types of cabbages):





and from Flying S Farms (summer straightneck and ‘Sunburst’ squashes):

Here is the complete list for this week.

CLG:  Opening Bell: Peaches, Carrots, Squash, Honey!


Good afternoon!

Peaches are ready for eating fresh or making jam! The late freeze we had will mean fewer peaches overall so get them while you can! Blueberries and strawberries are also looking good right now.

If you are late in getting your garden started, there are still some plants listed. At Cedar Rock Ridge, many plants are available for $1 or so. That’s cheaper than at Wal-Mart or Lowe’s. Pineapple sage, stevia, marigolds, etc.

This is the time of year when we see new items every week so be sure to search for your favorite items using the search field.

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

Check out over 625 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Please check your email a few minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!

Getting to Know You . . .


If you are not familiar with To Work With My Hands it is our great delight to introduce this blog and the wonderful woman behind it.

To Work With My Hands was well underway and going strong when I first met Karen King a few years ago and my respect and admiration for her has only grown with the passage of time. She is one of those rare individuals who manages many things well and still finds time for growth, improvement, doing things she loves and SHARING. Her sweet generous spirit is one of the unspoken things that comes through her photos, her writing and now Facebook Live videos.

Would you have thought these beautiful items started as recycled, re-purposed or thrifted pieces?

If you missed her last week on Hometalk, it is available to view in the May 31 posts and well worth scrolling down for. And for more good news, three more are scheduled! Watching them in real time is fun as viewers can interact with her, and if you’re like me and have to catch one later, it’s still informative and inspirational. I’m wishing now I had stopped by Hobby Lobby for some 26 gauge wire on the way home from Market yesterday as I have a ton of great beads that I know what to do with now!

Here are the dates and times for the other Facebook Live Videos on the Hometalk page:

Wednesday, June 7, 12pm
Wednesday June 14, 12pm
Wednesday, June 21, 12pm

You’re sure to enjoy your visit to To Work With My Hands and we hope you’ll catch Karen’s videos every chance you can. And when you find yourself waiting to pick up an order some Friday alongside a sweet lady with a familiar face, well, now you know who she is and we know she’d love to meet you too!

In Season

“Every man knows something I do not know, hence all men are my teachers.”

One of the great things about interacting with people is learning new things, and with the Market, learning about new ways to use fresh foods is always fun. Feel free to share what inspires you the way these two items have inspired us this week!

Carrot Top Pesto
Pesto is easy to make and Danny’s Carrots (with tops!)are just right for this recipe. Thank you,Don’t Waste the Crumbs


What could be more southern than squash, tomatoes and eggplant in a cast iron skillet, and what can be more Italian than classic Ratatouille made from scratch? This version from BuzzFeed includes a helpful video.

Market ChitChat

A hearty THANK YOU to everyone who was patient as their orders were collected and checked out Friday. As we transition into the hot summer months more and more tender foods will need to be kept refrigerated for safety and freshness. Your kind understanding is greatly appreciated!

Another thing to keep in mind going into summer, don’t panic if your favorite item or grower is not available on a given week! Sometimes crops need to grow a bit longer or the butcher does not meet a deadline or the grower might take a much deserved vacation!

Only one week away! Mayim Farms will be hosting a Compost Tea Workshop focusing on soil biodiversity and healthy growing practices. For more information visit them on Facebook .

This Week’s Grower Notes

We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.

It looks like everyone is busy out on the farm today but this guy from Sandy Valley dropped in to say “Hi”.
We’re wondering what kind of compost Scotty is using to grow Veggie Tales characters!

Footnotes

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!

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!

The Market ‘Hub’ / Lawrenceville Market Needs a New Home


We have been the guests of the Park family, utilizing a storage building for Market delivery (several deliveries made Tuesday or Wednesday), distribution (all items for BOTH Markets delivered there), separated by Market location. In addition, this has been the Pickup Location for the Members of the Lawrenceville Market.


Stan and Nicole have been renting the property for a number of years and the Landlord has decided to sell. They must vacate by the end of June and so must we! If you know of some place that would be willing to sponsor the Market (allow us to use space), please contact me as soon as possible. If a suitable place cannot be found, the Market will be closing. Please give me ideas! I have made inquiries with some churches, nutritionists offices and chiropractic offices. You can email me at heirloomlivingmarket@gmail.com or call me at 404-432-4337


We appreciate your support of our LOCAL Farmers and of the Market! Please SHARE the Market with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers!
