Berea Gardens:  Special announcement


Dear Friends,

I finally have an intake appointment for surgery to repair the inguinal hernia I have been coping with for over a year. Unfortunately it coincides with this week’s market. Therefore, I will not be accepting any pre-orders this week, but the market will be held as scheduled from 4 to 6 on Wednesday. Please come and make your selections off the tables. Our regular vendors will be there, and if my appointment concludes and allows me to stock the table, I will be there too. I am hoping that they can get me in right away for surgery, so if I don’t see you Wednesday I solicit you prayers for a successful outcome.

Bob

Growers News:

Welcome Back Rainbow Hill Farm:
OUR APPLE SEASON has begun! This week we have our delicious Gingergold – it is a Green to yellow apple. Sweet with some tartness. Crisp & juicy.

We also have delicious VEGAN Zucchini Bread and Yellow Squash Bread this week, we use flaxseed to replace eggs, the bread is moist and very flavorful. Find in Bakery Catagory in Vegan Bread.

Welcome back: Shroomegy Gourmet Mushrooms,

We have Lion’s Main and Oyster along with powders and Tincture.

Lion’s Mane mushrooms: (Hericium erinaceus), a prized variety of edible mushroom found in North America, Europe, and Asia. Named after their distinctive appearance that resembles a lion’s mane, these mushrooms are not only eye-catching but also delicious. Lion’s Mane mushrooms offer a slightly sweet, seafood-like flavor and a tender, succulent texture that make them a perfect addition to soups, stews, and other dishes. With their unique flavor and delicate texture, Lion’s Mane mushrooms add depth and dimension to any dish. So why not add a touch of elegance to your next meal?

Lion’s Mane Tincture: Our unique dual extraction process maximizes its potency, capturing a full range of beneficial compounds. Perfect for adding to your daily coffee.

Lions Mane Mushroom Powder: Perfect in coffee! Our specially crafted Lion’s Mane powder is made from selected mushrooms which are dried and finely ground to create a nutrient-dense powder that is both convenient and versatile. With its rich, savory flavor and impressive array of health benefits, this powder is a must-have for any health-conscious cook.
Oyster Mushroom Powder Powdered form of our Blue Oyster mushrooms. Great for picky eaters!

Reishi Tincture: Our unique dual extraction process maximizes its potency, capturing a full range of beneficial compounds. Perfect for adding to your daily coffee.

Rocky Top Blue Oyster – Large or Small Blue oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are a type of edible mushroom that is native to North America and Europe. They get their name from their oyster-like shape and their blue-gray color. Blue oyster mushrooms have a delicate and slightly sweet flavor, and a tender, velvety texture. They are often used in stir-fries, soups, and other dishes as a meat substitute and to add flavor.

NashPhilly: Two new side dishes, the collards and Cavatappi 5 cheese Mac and cheese that I want highlight this week.

Collard greens are stewed for 2 hours with my special blend of aromatics and sauces to create a truly rich, deep and tasty side of collards.

Cavatappi Mac. A truly special Mac and cheese using a blend of gourmet cheeses. The herbed crust and cheesy ness of the non crust parts are simply so satisfying.

It was a treat meeting several customers last week when I assisted during delivery.

McIntosh Field & Flowers: It is the height of the growing season here in Middle TN and that means loads of color at McIntosh Field & Flower. Cosmos, Sunflowers and loads of fun grasses are in bloom. We’ve also got enough colors of Celosia to make a rainbow! Order a Farmhouse Bouquet to bring some color into your home or office!

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.

Arrington Bread Co.: Our breads arrive at market fresh baked and usually alway very warm from the oven, tempting to pull a chunk off right when you pickup you order! This week we have Boule’s are Cracked Pepper with Sea Salt topped, Jalapeno Cheddar, Orange- Cranberry, Parmesan – Garlic, Plain and Rosemary.

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!

Yentz Family Farm: Our produce is finally starting to arrive, this week we have Cucumbers – Snack Size called ‘Munchers’ and We have also added ‘Hand Pie’ Blueberry, Cherry, Peach and Assorted. Also check out our other baked items and snack popcorn and assorted crispy snacks and several jams and salsa.

RC Farms: Cantaloupe and Watermelon and vegetable (A to Z), various meats and prepared frozen meals and fruit. We are working on our Webpage listings, want to thank everyone for understanding the delay with our Peaches, they finally arrived from South Carolina on Friday.

Flying S Farms: Cantaloupe and Watermelon are available and Peaches and Cream SWEET CORN IS IN!! Okra, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, Green Tomatoes, Burpless Cucumbers, Jade Stringless and Malibu Pole Beans, Onions, Sweet Bell Peppers (green, yellow and/or purple) along with our Fresh Farm Eggs – by the Dozen or Bundle of 3, Popular Brownies, Buttermilk or Sour Cream Biscuits in 2" or 3" Sizes, Several selections of Friendship Breads, newly added an old flavor Zucchini Pineapple Bread with several options and Plain or Wheat Sour Dough, sliced or unsliced also so rolls.

Martin's Farmstand:  Sweet onions and peppers


The steady warm weather along with abundant moisture makes the gardens grow! The broccoli patch continues to really make lots of broccoli which is what broccoli patches are supposed to do. Sweet onions are big enough that we are starting harvest them. Most of the other red and yellow storage onions are still several weeks out yet from harvest. Yesterday and this morning we are bringing in the main garlic harvest. It has grown well so there should be lots of garlic here throughout the fall months. We are still at the peak part of blueberry season and today we have the first wildcrafted blackberries at the stand. The eggplant and pepper family season has begun. They should normally be present at the farmstand over the next few months. No sweet corn today at the farmstand. 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!

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!
