Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Northeast Georgia Locallygrown Availability list for Jan. 9

Good Evening Locavores,
One more cold night and we can look forward to some warmer days ahead.
The frigid temps and especially cold wind we experienced this week have set back some of the vegetables outside but, it also makes some of the root crops sweeter.
Many of your farmers are also growing vegetables in hoophouses and their value for providing wintergrown vegetables is now paying off with winter vegetables.
Now is also a good time to enjoy extra dishes of grassfed meats and eggs.
The delicious baked goods will top off a hearty hot winter meal.
This is a good time to stock up on the all natural skin care products to relieve chapped lips or hands.
Thanks for supporting your local farmers through the bitter cold this past week.
Keep warm, safe and enjoy local food.

Carolina Foothills, SC:  Market is Open!

Hi all,

Sorry I’m late today. We lost the internet yesterday and just got it turned back on about an hour ago.

I have been using the time to get my son Trent caught up on 2 tests that were supposed to be completed by 4.

For those that don’t know, my kids attend a home based public school so losing the internet yesterday really messed us up.

Anyway, come on in and take a look around.

Eat Well,

Susan.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  The market is open for ordering.

Good morning,
The on-line market is open for ordering. Being in the depths of winter, you will notice that vegetable selection is limited. Even my garden took a hit this week but will recover when the temperatures climb back up. Egg production definately dropped with the cold snap so please limit egg orders to 2 dozen this week so that we can spread the egg love around.
Georgia Farm to Table continues to bring a nice selection of vegatables to the market and Amestory Farm still has some winter squashes available.
Farm Fresh Foods has been working with fresh grains and gluten free options. We now have 2 sources of gluten free, Farm Fresh Foods and Snack N Joy. They both brought some fantastic treats last week for us to sample that many of you were able to enjoy.
We are blessed to have wonderful artisans and farmers to feed us.
So, happy shopping and see you Wednesday.
