MARKET NEWS

Growers of the Week!

We are sooooo excited to announce our newest Growers to Gwinnett Locally Grown! Check out all the fabulous veggies and meats they have listed with us!

The Veggie Patch at Bouchard Farms
USDA Certified Organic
Local USDA Organic Produce Farm

Website: www.veggiepatchga.com

The Veggie Patch grows a huge variety of organic vegetables practicing sustainable organic farming in order to provide locally grown produce for a healthy lifestyle. On our 300 acre farm we harvest from about 30 acres as well as from 7 green houses.
Throughout the year the Veggie Patch grows a wide variety of vegetables including; 6 varieties of kale, lettuces, tomatoes, watermelon, okra, eggplant, peppers, collards, beets, squashes, carrots, celery, Asian lettuces and cabbage, spinach, corn, culinary and medicinal herbs…….and the list goes on.

Callidora Farms

Website: www.callidorafarms.com

Grass-fed, pasture raised meats
Callidora Farms is owned and managed by Raul and Genel Rivera (The Farmers). Farming is new to them, but it has been in Raul’s heart since his childhood days. In 2008, Raul began searching for the perfect land to purchase and start farming. After 5 years of searching, he finally found the perfect 71-acre plot in historical Madison, GA where he and his family could live the dream of operating a sustainable farm. Soon after buying the land, The Farmers realized that sustainable farming is both a way of life and a business. Having little knowledge in farming, the first year and a half was a definite learning curve. During that learning curve the one philosophy they adhered to was to provide natural solutions to all of the challenges that they face so that the animals experience the best life possible.

A growing number of people want to know where their food comes from, how it is being raised, and who is raising it. The Farmers believe that the best way to obtain these answers is to get connected to farmers who are very passionate about how food is raised. Their passion for staying connected to their food source drives them to continue to seek better ways to farm.

We also have yummy baked goods in time for the holidays!

Rancho Alegre Freshly Made

Website: ranchoalegrefarm.com

Congratulations, Walter and Carol Clarke with Rainbow Hill Farm. This weekend they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Go to the Market’s Facebook page to see a picture of the happy couple.

The holidays have arrived and we have plenty of products for your various needs. There are baked goods and processed foods that can be shared at parties you might be attending. We have gift certificates and baskets, soaps and skin care products that make great presents. New products this week include kissing balls from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse that are used to decorate your house.

We still have plenty of fruits and vegetables available.

Chef Jenny is taking a break this week. She will return next week with her seasoning and seed mixes.

Rod with Double Star Bar Farms is taking a break and will not be baking any of his artisan bread for a few weeks.

Flying S Farms has added to their variety of soups and now have a couple of vegan options.

The Blue Porch returns this week with their cold salads, cookies and hot sauces.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

I am taking a break from recipes. Look for a new one next week.

ALFN Local Food Club:  The Market is Open!

Good Beautiful Day,

Have you yet re-emerged from your Thanksgiving-induced food coma? Thankfully, it’s far too beautiful outside to be sitting around on the couch (or to already be hearing Christmas music, for that matter). As hard as it may be to think about ever eating another bite, I promise that you will get hungry again, and when you do, the market is here for all of the healthy, delicious local products to get you feeling good.

• There’s no better way to green up your diet than with a greens medley box from Barnhill Orchards. Snag this box of delicious green onions as well as turnip, mustard, and collard greens under specials.

• How about some grassfed buffalo from Ratchford Farms? Use it as a lean replacement in any beef dish, which shouldn’t be too hard with Ratchford’s selection of brisket, ground, strip steaks, sirloin steaks, snack sticks, and summer sausage.

• There’s also plenty of protein-packed legumes from Kornegay Berry Farm. Their butter beans, lady cream peas, and purple hull peas would all do well with a side of cornbread.

• Organic kale from Green Acres Atkins. Kale is a great addition to hearty up your favorite soup or the perfect start to a delicious salad.

• There’s so much fruit that I won’t even list it all, but you can still enjoy all of the sweetness and nutrition of the Arkansas summer with a delicious breakfast smoothie!

When it comes to sourcing locally, there’s no restaurant that does it better than The Root. They’re representing Little Rock by participating in HLN’s Growing America documentary series where teams of MBA students travel across the country to help small businesses. They could really use your vote as the most inspirational business, so please take a minute to do so here.

Enjoy this weather, cause it’s definitely not gonna last!

Director of Operations
