Champaign, OH: River
It’s coming on Christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on…
(River-Joni Mitchell)
One of my favorite Joni songs, as well as another favorite Christmas song…
Well, the weather took a huge turn for the ice and cold, rain, snow mix…the icy surfaces are keeping your market manager in for the night, enjoying a glass of wine, twinkling lights, and music.
I am rather calm for having exactly one million things to do before I can even begin to say I am ready for Christmas. Each year, I get a little more relaxed with it, choosing to just let it all sort of take place.
I did manage to place a market order for this week. Were you able to get your order in? Are you thinking about how nice it would be to order baked goods, breads, meat, eggs, herbs, spices, honey, maple syrup, lettuces, fish, candles, candy, soaps, oils, dog treats, pet bandanas, pies, cookies, coffee, tea, flour in both whole wheat, and gluten free? What can we do to make your holiday an easy and stress free occasion?
Think about it…this is the first time in market history that we are able to remain open right up to the holiday!! Take advantage…we would love to see you!!
XOXO,

NEWS AND NOTES
We are going to attempt, one more time this Thursday, to have our “Jam and Jelly Tasting Event” from 3:30 to 5:00 pm. Taste an assortment of jams and jellies made by several local farmers. The same flavors will be available for sale at the tables. Jams and Jellies by Weaver Farms, Flying S Farms, and Sand Dragon Farm will be available for tasting and sales.
Solace Farm, Frontier Family Farms, Botanical Harmony, Steve’s Bees, and Dogwood Valley Greenhouse will also set up tables at market time (weather permitting). You will be able to see and purchase some of their giftable goodies! You will want to invite your family and friends to visit and experience our market this week. Be sure to join us on Thursday, to hang out for a few minutes and chat with all our friendly farmers!
Amy from Solace Farm writes:
We just picked up our first-ever Solace Farm lamb from the processor, just in time for Christmas. It is just the one, so everything is limited, some cuts more than others. I’m also adding some homemade pumpkin granola, using our own pumpkin instead of butter (so no added fat!) and bits of homemade pumpkin-spice leather as the fruit. We love it, my 6 year old is helping make it – so he can eat it!
This has arrived from Andra of Sow’s Ear Piggery:
Last chance before Christmas for natural non-GMO-fed pork. Chops, shoulder steaks, and round steaks.
Also *NEW: Natural Pork Back Fat for for hunters looking to make venison sausage.*
Don’t be fooled that pork is a heavy meal. That is not the case with natural pork. Even with all the extra indulgences during the holidays, our pork will not leave you feeling stuffed.
And from Lois at Casey Family Farm:
Our cows have finally started milking again. We plan to list milk, but I won’t be sure till Sunday or Monday how much I can list. We appreciate everyone’s patience.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added a couple of beautiful young, blooming Christmas cacti, just in time for holiday decorating.
Don’t forget to check what’s included this week in the Produce Boxes from Frontier Family Farm. The contents do vary from week to week, so be sure to fill your frig with all the yummy veggies (and occasionally other items) from a produce box.
Vegetables from White City Produce & Greenhouses will be available this week.
We will be glad to deliver your order to you, at home or a location of your choice, on Friday afternoons for a small fee. Order delivery just like any other product.

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!
CLG: CLG Pickup TODAY 4-6pm. Bring eggshells, glass jars, & egg cartons please.
Good morning!

Usually our volunteers have the market ready for customers to pick up before 4pm. If you are out and about and want to know if we are ready, just text me to see: 501-339-1039.
If something comes up that you cannot personally pick up your order today, please contact someone to pick up for you.
Remember to bring your EGGSHELLS, glass jars for recycling, egg cartons, and bags for ordered items. Reduce, reuse, recycle! See you this afternoon.
