Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Locally Grown - Availability for July 29, 2014

Hey Local Food Lovers,

Another week with a very short message. It’s a busy time and for some it feels like the summer is beginning to wind down and we’re looking ahead to the FALL.

Andrew is on vacation this week so be sure and be nice to our incredible volunteers in Gainesville this week as they host the market solo! Be sure and thank our volunteers. They do this because they love it, and Locally Grown would’ t be possible without so many people who are willing to give their time and energy to be a part of good, wholesome food.

I hope to have a longer message next week. In the meantime, be sure you’re enjoying all that summer has to offer.

We especially hope you enjoy the delectable photos that Andrew sends you on Fridays tantalizing your taste buds with featured products. This week the 3 items chosen are Mo’s Spicy Mix lettuces from Leah Lake Farms, Granola from Baker Springs, and cucumber salad which you can get from 5 different farms. We hope you’ll try some new things to make your week more interesting!

Highlights of my week were chipotle gouda mashed potatoes using O’hana’s fingerling potatoes. Also from O’hana, Shishito peppers. Just fry them in olive oil with sea salt. Great pre-dinner appetizer.

We’ve got two more promotional projects we’re working on completing before the end of the summer. Can’t wait to tell you about them. Until then…

EAT WELL,

Justin, Chuck, Teri and Andrew

Princeton Farm Fresh:  The Market is Open

I am having a very busy week here on the farm. Is it only Monday? One more week till the kiddos get home and Ray and I are hustling to keep up. Part of our issues continue to be that we are working on building our farm, which includes building fences, high tunnels, and getting our soil ready to accept plants. Eric and I planted 1000 seeds (in the greenhouse)before they left for Minnesota and now I need to get the ground ready for them to be planted, and it is raining again. Part of the challenge of being a new farmer is figuring out how to be a farmer (how to do the things that need to be done), and then how to do those things in tune with Mother Nature. I feel like I am forever running behind Mother Nature.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love being a farmer. The daily challenges keep my mind and body strong. I can’t imagine my life now without the sunshine, dirt in my nails, and mud on my boots.
Look forward to seeing everyone on Friday,
Angela

CSA Farmers Market:  Growing Season Update July 23

Many of the farmers are picking beans right now; Law Family Farm, White Pine Farm and Whetham Organic Farm. All beans are hand picked carefully to be sure not to break the beans. It sometimes takes hours to find the tender beans hidden behind the leaves before.

Strong winds (gusting to 50 mph) blew a large limb down on our 4-wheeler and as we surveyed other damage we found that they knocked the onion plants over so we will be harvesting those and putting them on the market a little earlier than normal, once the onion plants get knocked down they do not grow larger. The walla wallas were getting to be a good size and we were going to be harvesting anyways, now you can look forward to a lot of tasty sweet onions.

(White Pine Farm) Organic Certification inspector came by and was impressed with our farming operation- as well as the CSA Farmers Market operation. White Pine Farm is also serves as home base for CSA Farmers Market. Without Dales and my (Marian) tireless work the CSA Farmers Market would not exist. The other farmers do help out quite a bit, but for now, the bulk of the work rests on our shoulders.

Until Next Time
