Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Time to Order Fresh Local Farm Products!

Deb at Knottynuffacres has taken her items off the market for this week, but plans to return to us next week. She apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.


Molly from Kountry Vittles writes:

I have been busy this week putting up fresh pumpkin getting ready for wonderful pumpkin dishes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread and let’s not forget pumpkin rolls. I have made several country Apples pies and lots of herb bread so you can only imagine how wonderful my little kitchen smells. I may not be fond of the cold weather on these ole bones of mine, but I sure do love the wonderful aromas it brings to my kitchen.

This week I will be adding my Baked Cherry and Baked Apple Hand pies to the market. They have become very popular with my regular clients and much healthier than the traditional fried pie. Hope everyone has a wonderful week, and I’ll see you at the market.

(L to R)
Top: Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread (available with or without walnuts).
Middle: Pumpkin Roll (available plain, with walnuts, or with pecans), Tart Cranberry Quick Bread (available with or without walnuts).
Bottom: Cherry and Apple Hand Pies.

Amy from Solace Farm tells me that she has picked up six lambs from the processor, and will be busy getting the new meat listed on the market. I don’t have information or photos for you at this time, but if you are interested, check the category for details.

Frontier Family Farms has added another winter vegetable:
Broccoli florets.

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
This is the last week that I will accept pre-orders for our Christmas wreaths and kissing balls. We will be able to make only a limited number of each (good help is hard to find!) We will do our best to fill all pre-orders, beginning about Dec 1, but when they’re gone, they’re gone.

We will also have pink Christmas cacti and several colors of African violets in bloom for Christmas, and you may also reserve those now if you prefer. Just drop me an email to let me know if you want one or more of the potted plants, because they’re not currently available on the market.

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!

Champaign, OH:  Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice

This week, we say, HELLO, to an old friend, and personally, one of my biggest inspirations in kindness, patience, and basically helping me to keep it real while in the midst of chaos, and someone that I know I can turn to, when I need a kind heart, a gentle soul.

We started our friendship journey, many years ago, out in the trenches of the physical farmers’ markets. We made up a girl gang of vendors, full of spirit, a desire to bring the local food force to the front and center, all mixed up with a dose of fun, craziness.

We used to help manage the Mechanicsburg Farmer’s Market, and in the early days, had so much fun! People used to laugh at our image, as we would stand, and chat, and from away, you could see the image of the Mennonite girl with the Hippie girl, standing in the middle of market midways, discussing important topics like…well, I can’t really tell you, but our topics were always full of fun snarkiness.

Anyway…she comes back to our market, you know her as Homecomer Traditions…out in the trenches, she is the Pretzel Lady. Here, at our market, she is known as, Honey Boy Honey, inspired by her own Honey Boy who is no longer that little boy. In my heart, she is always, Twisted Sister, a nickname from way back, and now, she comes back to us with her Honey Boy Honey…AND…her new line of Organic Spice and Herbal blends!! She is working so hard to get just the right blends, keeping it all organic, and will continue to add more and more blends.

So…go, show her some love, and get your spice and herbal blends, just in time for the holiday season!!

See…everything nice…right here…at your little local market of love…

Champaign, OH:  Romeo and Juliet

…tonight’s song is brought to you by the ever amazing Mark Knopfler. Yes, the haunting voice of Dire Straits. When I was a flight attendant way back in the day, I worked a flight, first class, LA-NYC, all night flight, and he and I chatted most of the flight.

He has one of those voices that just resonates with me. Especially on long days, days of baking/cooking/market making/planning…the everyday in my life.

Tonight, I got home, poured a glass of wine, and asked Alexa to give me some Cowboy Junkies, on Pandora, and this song came wafting through my kitchen, and house.

It makes me think of that long ago flight, of California where I used to live, to my very good friend, one of my oldest and dearest, who had to pack up, today, and flee the mountains and her home, in Paradise, California, as fires burned the whole town. She got out, is safe, called me the minute I pulled into my driveway, tonight.

All of this, swirling in my head, to open the market, tonight, with this thought…love your people, hug someone, smile at someone, show kindness, show compassion, live life by giving it the best that you’ve got…because in a split second, it all changes.

Good thoughts as we enter into the next few weeks of Thanksgiving. You know, the holiday that for years gets the rush. The brush off for the Christmas holiday. But, not this girl. I savor the days of November. I love losing myself in thoughts of all that I am thankful for, the people in my life, how fortunate I am to still have each circle of each stage of my life, in my close circles. I have the love of family, the love of friends, and thankful for each day that is given to us.

So, tonight, with a very thankful heart for this market, it’s customers, it’s vendors, it’s parental unit at the YMCA, I bring you this week’s market.

Just and FYI, we will have this market, and then, a week from tonight, we close for the Thanksgiving week. We will reopen the market, for ordering, on Thanksgiving night.

Give lots of thought as to what you may need for your holiday food needs, any hostess gifts, any candles to set the ambience of the holiday, any baked goods to put on your dessert tables. I do know that our pie lady, of Ruthie’s Pies, has several varieties to chose from, for the flavor of the holiday.

You are going to need it all…don’t forget the milk for your recipes, the cheeses to serve as appetizers, breads for dinner, vegetables and lettuces for all of the side dishes. Maple syrups and honey for the sweetness of the holiday. Soaps, oils, body scrubs, artistic objects are great to give a hostess. Maybe turkey isn’t your jam…order a different type of meat to celebrate your thankful day. Jams, sauces…all essential for whatever the holiday brings. To jazz up your sandwiches from you leftovers, turn to the mustards or jalapeno sweetness of relish. Eggs…you know they are essential to your recipe fun!! Are you entertaining someone who needs to be gluten-free? We’ve got it covered! You will need coffee to go with the pies that we offer, and wait for it…what about your fur babes?? They will be hungry, and waiting patiently. Why not have their fav dog treats, on hand?

Ok….I am leaving you, tonight, with an amazing market, amazing products, amazing vendors, and you, the amazing customers.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making us part of your daily lives…we live for the days, the moments, the seconds…

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
