Thweatt Things: 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.

Lavendar Cottage: This week we are bring some Freeze Dried candies into the market along with our Freeze dried fruits and veggies.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Apples are coming in, this week we have Gingergold, Ozark Gold and Gala. Available in various sizes. Nothing like a delicious crisp apple during the hot weather! We also have our popular large cabbages, just a few this week but will have more in the coming weeks.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present a plethora of pastured poultry products for your palate. We also have lots of luscious grass-fed lamb that’s great for grilling. And our usual substantial selection of skin-softening goat’s milk soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Singing Bee Honey: is back with their delicious local ’Cannon County" Honey. It is available in several sizes.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: we are back on the market this week with some familiar and some new cuts of Pork. Please Browse our products from our free-range, non-gmo, non corn/soy pork.

Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week. Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender. Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes. Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.

Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. You can cut them up and fry or sautee them. Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good. Japanese Eggplant: prepare in various ways including grilling, which will give them a smoky flavor!

Pinky’s Micros: 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.

We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!

Our new SUMMER Seasonal Chef’s Blend: CANTALOUPE, CUCUMBER, THAI BASIL, RED AMARANTH.

Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with what we grow all the time.
Peas Shoots, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic Salad Mix, and Sunflower Shoots.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: we have a large assortment of Fresh to cut herbs: Greek Oregano, Sweet Basil, Julep Mint, Lavender, Lemon Balm, Mixed Thyme, Orange Mint, Pepperment, Rosemary, Sage, Spearment and several herb plants you can plant at your home.

Martin's Farmstand:  Weblog Entry


The farmstand is packed with good food today. I have over 100 dozen sweet corn . This is available by each, dozens or the bagful. The onion harvest is about half finished. Thursday we filled 125 crates of mostly yellow storage onions. Bulk onion prices is the same as last year. Most kinds $20 per 25 lb bag or fill your own box from the display. Storage garlic is dry and ready to purchase ($6 LB for 5 plus lbs). This is the peak of watermelon and cantaloupe season. Enjoy them now as autumn comes quickly and with that another set of good foods to enjoy from the garden. We already have the first winter squash out for sale today. This year we plan to end summer hours (and start late fall hours) in early November when daylight savings time ends rather than at Thanksgiving. Late fall hours will continue till Christmas. You may have heard that I am thinking about retirement and selling this business. It is true. For more details see the letter that is at the farmstand and posted on facebook. At the moment there is no price set and no fixed timeline for this. I am still planting cover crops and preparing ground to plant strawberries and everything else in 2024. I bought lime to lime the fields this fall. If I am not still at the helm next year I hope to have passed it on to a capable successor. We have the full amount of young healthy strawberries planted and anticipate abundant strawberries in June of next year. We plan to keep the old farm over at Southville Corners for the forseeable future. Daniel

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!

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!
