I am very excited to welcome Lelani and Alan of Leilani’s Farm and Nursery to our family of growers and vendors! They will provide the market local, seasonal, organically grown and Certified Naturally Grown vegetables, berries, and herbs. In addition, in the Spring, they will offer plants, flowers, and hanging baskets.
Nestled in the foothills of north Georgia, Leilani’s has served the north Georgia area for 18 years. From the very beginning Leilani’s has been an all-natural grower of quality Produce and Herb, Vegetable, and Fruit plants.
Leilani’s follow the strict organic standards of Certified Naturally Grown and are proud to display their symbol of quality. They use “no till” naturally-evolving soil development, and never use harsh fertilizers, just natural aged manures, compost, and worm castings. They also don’t use chemicals, just natural and organic biological controls to ensure optimum food safety.
They plan to be on the market all year rounding providing Organic Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Okra, and Beans from late Spring to Fall. Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Carrots, and more are available in the cooler seasons.
