Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market


Good morning! It’s a chilly one! We had a great time stoking up a bonfire this weekend and had our first farmhouse fire in the living room. So toasty with a mug of warm spiced cider :)
I will be headed to the apple farm today to get a fresh load of apples and jars of cider so look for those in the stand tomorrow and as long as they last.
You’ll notice some new products this week! Joyful Noise Acres joins us with their sourdough starter – fresh or dried. Also, to add to our allergy fighting arsenal is her herbal tea.
Also, joining us is Gabi Brown with Brown Bakehouse. She uses the newly added starter to make a sourdough boule. Try one for your soups!
This week I got all the lettuces iin the ground and they are doing well despite the frigid temps! It will take a few more weeks before harvesting these, but we should be stocked through the fall and early winter for greens (provided the bunnies and deer stay out!).
Enjoy these wonderful fall days!

Growers News:

Welcome New Grower:

The Natural Nook:
I am a mom to 5 amazing kids and never feel more satisfied than when I provide our family of 7 with natural, nourishing food and products that keep us all healthy and thriving. Now that we are enjoying the benefits of this lifestyle, I wanted to share some of the products I make for our family in my kitchen with our community as well. I would like to start by offering homemade elderberry syrup as an effective remedy against colds and viruses as well homemade bone broth packed with collagen that can be used as broth in soups or just warmed to drink as is for health benefits.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present pounds and pounds of perfectly pastured poultry products for your palate’s pleasure. Our scintillating skin softening soaps are suavely secented and smell supberb. We also have lamb products.

Thweatt Things: Added a new item this week, Get ready for holiday cooking with my new casserole cozies. Square cozy fits a standard square 8×8 pan, larger cozy fits a 9 × 13 casserole dish. These are not microwaveable as they are lined with insul-brite, a metallic backed batting which helps to insulate your food. Can be customized for holidays or certain color schemes upon request. The Walker Tote organizer fits over most walkers and makes a stable holder for newspapers, remotes, fiber arts and crafts, tissues, phones and water bottles. These lightweight totes are made of cotton and completely washable. They make great gifts for the elderly who rely on walkers for mobility. Or Mother’s with strollers to keep items handy. Also will work on shopping carts.

The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Carol’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): newly added this week…..Lions Mane Double Extraction: This double extraction was made from a Lions mane found on our property. First extraction was in a gluten free vodka and the second extraction was in water from our rain harvested water. Researched and shown benefits on breath health according to Dr. Axe
Reishi Mushroom double extraction is great for the thyroid, immune system and anti cancer. Look up more at https://www.kindroot.com and read about it in the Feb 25, 2023 edition

Lavendar Cottage: We are enjoying meeting the market customers as they pickup their Stones River Market orders on the Porch or visit Quinn’s Mercantile, we plan to be there few more times so you can see what we have and enjoy samples. We have added some increased sizes! Delicious snack to lunch bags and just a mid-day treat….This week we are bring some Freeze Dried Freeze dried fruits and veggies. If anyone is looking for a particular freeze dried candy please by all means send me an email and I’ll do my best to have them available for next week. Freeze Dried Cantaloupe Bites, Golden Watermelon Bites, Gummy Geeks (Originally Nerd Gummy clusters), Dried Jalapeno Pepper, Dried Mixed Color Bell Pepper, Dried Rancher Puffs (Originally Jolly Ranches), Dried Scuttles (originally Skittles), Dried Strawberry Bites, Dried Sun Kist Cherry Tomatoes, Dried Taphy Bombs (aka Originally Salt Water Taffy), Dried Tomatoes and Dried Watermelon Bites, always check back, consently adding new items.

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.*

Yentz Family Farm: Several varieties of fresh cut herbs available this week. We have several items to select from but this week we would like to highlight our delicious Hand Pies, choose from our newly added Pumpkin hand pies and Pumpkin Bread. Other hand pies are Peach, Blueberry or Apple! Order single or a combo. Delicious with morning coffee or just a snack during the day. Also added Chocolate Chip Cookies and brownies. We have several delicious vegetables this week available, Blue Lake Beans, Jalapeno, Serrano and Anaheim Green Chili hot peppers to spice things up.

Martin's Farmstand:  Beans, Cauliflower and Peppers


The stand is packed full of good food today. We have over 200 lbs of really nice cauliflower and lots of every sort of peppers both sweet and hot. The last planting of beans got ready this week with the warm weather. They gave abundantly; we have over 100 lbs of beans to sell today. Get them now as this is the last batch of beans for this year. All the winter squash is harvested. Come and get them. Onions and garlic are finished curing and ready for storage. We plan to dig the rest of the sweet potatoes next week. They need to cure for about a week in a heated space and then they will be ready for storage. The big winter harvest of regular potatoes will be later in October when the vines are dead and the skins on the potatoes are thick enough for good storage. Daniel

Check out some of the new products we have, like the Caruca Farms’ jars of Cowboy Candy! These pickled peppers are a perfect way to add a twist of sweet and spicy heat to your salad (full of fresh greens), or cozy bowl of chili (made with local beef!) Only want the sweet and not the heat? Then grab a jar of apricot, berry, or cherry jam and spread it over a slice of (bakery fresh) bread!

Remember, these pickles, jellies, and jams can bring a wonderful taste of summer to a cold winter’s day, so stock up your pantry while supplies last! (and they make great gifts too!)

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.

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!
