Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Several perennials to plant right now and brighten up your workspace or home with a beautiful Succulent Planter it is beautiful as a centerpiece or side table decoration, this planter contains a variety of seven succulent plants in a light sandy soilless mix that should support them well for a long time to come. Remember: don’t water succulents much – they’re a great houseplant for those who don’t like to fuss with houseplants! Soil surface of your planter is covered with small pebbles both as a decorative feature and to help hold moisture for the plants. This planter will also be a good hostess or housewarming gift.

Linwood Lamb: Let me first say thank you for your lamb purchases over the past few months. Linwood Sheep Farm has been around for 5 generations, starting back in the 1940’s in the Linwood Community of Watertown. This past year we ventured into direct marketing our lamb to consumers. We have been overwhelmed at the positive response we have received by providing locally grown lamb to you.

We have been coming to the Stones River Market every week for several months. Sometimes we bring 4 to 5 orders, other weeks just 1 order. My questions is: Would it disrupt the way you shop if we continued with the market but only came every other week? Obviously, this would save us transportation dollars by doubling up the orders and just traveling twice a month to Murfreesboro as opposed to every week. The last thing we want is to create a burden for any of our customers.

Order this week and we will return in 2 weeks.
Mark Powell – Shepherd (Dad)
Anna Powell – Shepherdess (Daughter)

Good evening Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!

Fresh Vegetables
Clean Meats
Baked Goods with Organic ingredients
Gluten Free goodies
Pastured Eggs
See all products

Market stays open from Fridays 9 p.m. until at least 9 p.m. Mondays!

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.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in 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.

COVID19: Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email with any changes to pickup or ways you can help minimize risk for our volunteers and each other. Thanks for your support!*

AVALON FARMS:

20220903_101906
Well, we have achieved the elusive COVID antibodies. Yay, us. We took all recommended supplements and were fever free after 5 days. Really not that bad….but the residual weakness, terrible tastes, etc are the worst! 

Thankfully all the fall transplants were in the ground before we got sick (mostly). We wondered why it was SO exhausting. Then the next day Wendy had 101 fever. They did get planted. Watered by way too much rain and ignored by the farmers. We’ll see what we get in a month. 

Transplants consisted of: sprouting broccoli/broccolini, green cabbage, napa cabbage, kohlrabi, bok choi, semposi and other greens.

Direct seeded were: zucchini, yellow squash, zephyrs, cucumbers and green beans. Had intended to plant carrots, beets and radishes, but that hasn’t happened yet.

And now we know . . .
