We’re also excited to announce we now have chicken! A new grower, Cattle and Chaos Family Farm from Paris, has joined the market and has USDA-certified chicken.

Besides meat, we also have the first summer tomatoes, both slicers and cherry, available! That’s in addition to our regular selection of spring vegetables, baked goods, eggs and jams.

Browse the market between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday. Click the button to place your order, and we’ll have it all ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

Eat something fresh and local this week!

Finally, we have our most popular scones available in 3-packs this week – lemon blueberry. Always organic, super moist & dairy free, popping with bright, summery citrus flavors and sweet blueberries. Try some today – I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Foster Bakery: New to our Market, highly recommended by NashPhilly.
Do you like bread? We now have Plain White or Wheat Bread.

Enjoy this staple guilt-free by buying a plain white or whole wheat loaf from me. Unlike many commercial bakeries that use bromated/carcinogenic ingredients, I use simple and minimally processed ingredients to make a delicious and filling bread. Bread made from whole wheat flour contains greater amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins. 2-3 slices meets 15% of your daily iron needs and over a quarter of the recommended fiber intake. Whole wheat bread is also a great food to aid weight loss (ask me: I lost 20 pounds after I started making this bread)! This loaf makes approximately 10-12 slices + 2 endpieces. Slice as you go for best quality (unless if you plan to freeze it). Since my bread doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best to consume or freeze within 3-4 days of picking up. The bags are freezer friendly.

NashPhilly: Several prepared items in the Soup, Seasonal Side Dishes and Noodles, Pasta, Italian Sauces Category. Perfect for your upcoming Mother’s Day meal or this weeks meals.

Also enjoy our newly ‘salads’ during the hot summer months along with our meals and side dishes.

Pinky’s Micro’s:
New Spring blend of power packed microgreens…Romaine, Golden Leeks, Lemon Basil and Red Panda Sorrell.
Also check out our other Micro’s – Basic Salad Mix, Broccoli, Cilantro, Pea, Radish, Red Amaranth, Sunflower and Wheat Grass Shots.

Quarter Spring Farm: has all the affordable luxury that you need this spring. From our moisturizing soaps to our delicious meats and eggs, we have all the goodies to pamper you. You work hard, so treat yourself to an incredible dining experience with our lamb or chicken. It’s healthier and tastier than conventionally grown meats, and better for the planet, too. Our amazing goat milk soaps and lotions will leave your skin feeling like you just dropped 2 grand at a high end spa. You deserve nice things, so let us provide them to you.

Kumaika Coffee:
If you have not started your morning with our Coffee, you are missing out! We have Dark, Medium and Light Roasted Beans. We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and/or Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler of all 3.

Hi All,

The market is a bit limited this week as we transition from our early spring crops to our summer fare. Variety will pick up in the coming weeks with a fresh crop of lettuce, green beans and the early tomatoes are beginning to take shape. The onions are also looking good and and starting to bulb up, our garlic is almost ready. Stop by this week to see what our other vendors have to offer and we hope to see you on Wednesday.

Blessings,
Bob

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market Is Open for Orders

The Wednesday Market:  Ordering is Open for The Wednesday Market


Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. Check the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link:

Last week one of my co-workers gave me some yellow summer squash from her garden. As we were talking, she pulled out her cell phone and said, “You’re going to think I’m crazy when I share this with you, but I just have to show someone something that made me so happy this morning!” She passed her phone to me, and I saw a close-up picture of a bee curled up asleep in the petals of a hydrangea blossom. My friend said she purposely chooses plants to attract butterflies and bees, so she was touched to see the scene of a sweet little bee taking a nap in her flowers. I said, “Friend, I don’t think you’re crazy at all!”

Indeed, bees and butterflies are important to agriculture. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, “Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce. That’s one out of every three bites of food you eat.” Let’s be kind to bees and butterflies!

To learn more about pollinators and their importance, click this link: https://www.usda.gov/peoples-garden/pollinators#:~:text=Pollinators%20by%20Numbers&text=More%20than%203%2C500%20species%20of,and%20beetles%20and%20other%20insects

Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,
Beverly
