Several “Live” markets are opening around the area, don’t fight for parking spots and get there and see they have sold out, check with us here on Stones River Locally Grown or send a message to any of our Growers if you are wanting something in particular.

Calico Farms: Back this week for our gluten-free and/or chocolate lovers out there – our chocolate crinkle cookies are available in 6-packs for you. Decadently rich and chocolatey, with the perfect amount of sweetness – pick one up and enjoy guilt-free.

Have you tried our teas? We have 4 organic herbal varieties available: Summer fruits, peppermint hibiscus, immune support & bedtime (one of our most popular). All are house-blended and fantastic whether enjoyed hot or iced…and iced tea season is definitely here. These are all loose teas, so if you need a tea steeper, we have those available too, and they are dishwasher safe. If you’re needing a gift idea – a steeper and a few bags of tea, make the perfect one.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Don’t buy commercially started plants. We have a large selection of various produce and organically grown herb and vegetables plants in peat disposable pots. Just dig your hole and put it in, no more struggling with plastic pots! We have one of the largest selection of various tomatoes and pepper plants available this week.

Safe and Sound Soap Co.: Summer is coming up, so be sure to check out my Car Air Fresheners for those hot summer days. You should also consider stocking up on my Laundry Soap, so you can keep your clothes smelling fresh and clean this season. I have Lemon Eucalyptus, Orange Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon Lavender Mint. Looking for a gift that anyone can use? Add one of my Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer Sprays to your cart! It is made with 70% alcohol, filtered water, and my special blend of Argon oil and Jojoba oil, which are excellent for your skin and help keep a healthy moisture barrier on your skin. Just a few sprays, and it kills 99.99% of germs without causing your skin to dry and crack. I also have plenty of my Small Batch Citrus Bar soaps in stock as well as my Room Freshener Sprays that come in Orange Bergamot and my Laundry day scent. They are perfect to leave in your guest room or bathroom, or to give as a gift!

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.

Oakview Farm:
We will have some of its customer favorites this week: Scandanavian Buttermilk Sourdough Bread, Artisan Sourdough bread, Roasted Strawberry Jam, and Homemade Peppermint Patties! Our hens have been laying like crazy, so we have fresh eggs, too.
From our garden, we have our Salad Greens Mix, Cabbage, Rainbow Swiss Chard, and Spinach. We don’t use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides on our produce, so you know it’s good for you and the environment.

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.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Several items ready to plant in cooler weather. Herbs, Ferns, Hosta and Shrubs.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market Is Open for Orders

The Wednesday Market:  The Wednesday Market is Open

Good evening.

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. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

While Memorial Day weekend is touted as the unofficial start to summer, the true purpose of the holiday is to honor those who have died in military service for the United States. Have you ever wondered why red poppies are associated with Memorial Day? According to the American Legion’s website, after World War I, “The red poppy came to symbolize the blood shed during battle following the publication of the wartime poem In Flanders Fields.” Click on this link to read the poem and to learn more about the American Legion’s distribution of red poppies: https://www.legion.org/poppyday/history

On another note, last week I shared an inspiring quote from Gary Black, and referred to him as Georgia’s agricultural commissioner. The remarks were made in 2020, when Mr. Black was still serving as Ag Commissioner. Mr. Black should have been identified as the former commissioner. Tyler Harper is the current Georgia Agricultural Commissioner, having taken office on January 9, 2023. I apologize for the error.

Thank you for for supporting Georgia Grown. Have a great weekend. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,
Beverly

P.S. If you have questions about your order, please contact Nelda. She is available by text, email, or phone call.

MISC MARKET NOTES

A Little Culture Never Hurts

Did you know there was a Smithsonian exhibit on display locally? Your market manager recently got an almost private tour of the exhibit. Crossroads: Change in Rural America is a traveling exhibit that looks at the remarkable evolution in rural life over the past century — and explores how Americans have responded and adapted. It is paired with local programming and allows visitors to consider the central role of rural Alabama in our shared future. The Ann Rudd Art Center in Ozark is the first of five stops statewide for the exhibit.

The reason it’s being shared here is that its about folks like us, folks who grew up in small towns or the country and have seen a lot of changes. It covers history, farming, small town life, cultural issues and challenges. My favorite takeaway was a quote from Garth Brooks: “You aren’t wealthy until you have something money can’t buy.”

The exhibit is called Crossroads: Change in Rural America and is on display till June 15. Learn more about it by clicking https://www.wtvy.com/2024/04/24/ann-rudd-art-center-unveils-crossroads-change-rural-america-art-exhibit/ or posting the link in your browser.

Grower Notes

Mount Moriah Farms: Hello Everyone! We are definitely working through adjusting to life with a toddler and an infant! Loving every minute of it too. First off thank you to everyone who purchased from us at the Mother’s Day event! Your support means so much to us. We are currently milking 10 goats on our multi-goat stanchion and it helps cut time so much. We are all about trying to find ways to cut time so we have more time for the tiny humans! The market season has started up so we are busy making products. Before too long we will be breeding our does back to the buck for winter kids. The list is always full of “To Dos” but we are trying to make the most of every day, not letting the time go by too fast. Enjoy this life you are given!

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!

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, 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.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!
