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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.
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!
Dothan, Alabama: M@D is Open for Orders - 05/11/24 Newsletter
MISC MARKET NOTES
From our Grower Page: I am a small farm that grows year round. I have a growers permit and I grow many different things. I will have okra, squash, zucchini, tomatoes, cucumbers, pinkeye peas, blackeye peas, 5 diffrent types of white peas including zipper peas and I have unwashed refrigerated eggs. I have a limited amount of red, gold, and russet potatoes.
In the winter I usually have turnips, collards, rutabaga, mustards, broccoli cauliflower and I have a greenhouse that I usually put tomatoes and okra in to have fresh ones for customers in the winter. I also sell shelled pecans in the fall when they are dropping. I only sell Elliots and dont ask alot for them. I try to keep all my prices low to help people in this economy.
I do my very best not to spray anything on any plants for bugs but if I have to it’s only organic approved, nothing I wouldn’t trust for a customer’s infant to take a bite out of. I fertilize with blacktop and fish fertlizer and strive to offer the freshest veggies and pecans.
In addition I also have planted some berries, grapes, a pear tree, and figs. I also have access to mature pear trees and a persimmon tree.
We are proud and happy to report that Alabama’s legislature agrees with our assessment that fake meat is disgusting. So much so that they OUTLAWED IT the last day of the legislative session. Anyone wanting to risk their taste buds and health by sampling this abomination, well, they’ll just have to leave the state.

D’s Jellies: “I finished gathering Mayhaws and I have begun picking Blackberries for D’s Jellies.”
3LC Apiary: “This week at 3LC Apiary we are monitoring hives for Varroa mites and treating the hives that have too high of a varroa count with an organic acid mite treatment.”
Horton’s Farm: "This week I added Soil Builder microbes (from Longears & Herbs) to my vegetables, started two more permaculture beds and finalized the layout for the east side of the garden rebuild."
Phillips Farm: This week we harvested squash and cucumbers and expect the peppers and zucchini to start producing soon. Next week I’ll be tilling between rows and adding fish fertilizer. While the zipper peas have flowered, both the pole beans and late zipper peas are just now sprouting.
Avalon Farms:
Sorry to say the strawberries are done for this year. It was definitely a learning experience. I wish the harvest was spread out longer.
But, the squash are making! You can order yellow, zucchini or zephyr this week. Oh, and radishes, we listed several varieties of radishes. We expect to have cucumbers next time. Onions and garlic are almost ready. Baby tomatoes on the vine. Peppers and eggplant are blooming up a storm.
We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Old99Farm Market: Upcoming Bionutrient food conference online
How much nutrition is really in our food? That is the raison d’etre of the Bionutrient Food Assoc and its conference-
Did you know that the nutrition facts panel on the side food package does not come from testing the food in it?
Are you aware of the process by which those numbers show up on the side of a package?
What is the path forward to getting those numbers to represent reality? Especially if you are producing or distributing food that is nutritionally superior?
Not that a nutritional facts panel is the be all and end all of where we want to be going, but it is where reality sits now for those who do buy food in a store.
Meet Tina Owens. With a career’s experience in the food industry, she is one of our foremost translators of how the system works so that those of us who want to engage know the rules of the road.

Champaign, OH: Thursday Market Pick Up!
Good morning, lovely customers of the market!!
There are a lot of you, today, and many returning for the spring/summer season after being gone for the winter!
Just a few updates/reminders…
The new market pick up times are 3pm-5:30pm, today!
If you need a Friday pick up, please alert me, if you are not already a Friday pick up! Those times for pick up are from 10am-12pm!
If you need a Saturday pick up, again, please alert me, and the pick up times on that day are 10am-4pm!
ALSO…I spent last week, clearing out old/expired credit card information!! If you think your card may be expired, and want to add a new one, you can call me, or just let me know at pick up! It does take a bit of time to do it at pick up, but totally, no worries!!
Your other options are cash, in a ziplock bag with your name on it, a check made out to Oakview Farm Meats, or you can pay with a card, even if you don’t want to keep in on file. Keeping a card on file just allows you to breeze through at pick up, get your order, and go on your way!! It’s all totally up to you!!
If you are a new customer, you will just pull into the drive, at the farm, and drive to the greenhouse door. We will be getting your order packed up, and will then bring it to your car! It’s just so easy!
Tonight, we have the added seasonal delights like asparagus, and lettuce…it may take just a tad more time to grab those items and get into your order.
We also see the return of my father, helping, tonight, after he was away at the beach. As always, I thank you for chatting with him, and making an 84 year old’s day…he loves the market!!
We love your support of the market, and we thank you, kindly!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
