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


Manchester Locally Grown Farmers’ Market

Good morning!

I’m sorry, I’m playing with new formatting and trying to get it right. Please excuse multiple messages. They are all identical except the formatting. Read whichever one is best for you.

The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm. Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

NEWS AND NOTES

Kountry Vittles Baked Goods is celebrating their 2nd Anniversary this Week, thank you everyone for you Support. I’ve been busy baking lots of cakes, pies and goodies and will be adding more to the list shortly. This past week the most popular item has been my Banana Pudding Pie with it’s Nilla wafer crust and ole fashioned homemade pudding mixed with lots of banana slices and more Nilla wafers inside. It’s topped off with a generous portion of Meringue and baked to perfection. Next runner up has been the Ole fashioned Coconut Cream Pie topped with Real Whipped Cream. Just can’t beat those ole Timey recipes. Back to baking everyone have a Blessed Day.

My work travel schedule has prevented listing of Sow’s Ear Piggery premium pork products for a few weeks. We’re back on the market this week and hope to make up for the absence with special pricing across the board. All of our products are listed below $4/pound this week. With the return of winter weather, pork is a versatile entrée for comfort food prepared indoors on chilly January nights. Braised, baked, pan fried, or in stroganoff or goulash, pork from the oven hits the spot!
Thanks!

Note: Our pigs are raised outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine, graze clover and native grasses, forage on acorns and persimmons in season, and are also fed non-corn, non-soy, non-GMO feed (pellets of milo, black oil sunflower seed, and wheat) and fresh fruit and vegetables. They are happy, docile, friendly animals who enjoy a good life and re-pay us in natural, non-antibiotic, non-hormone meat and lard for frying and baking. Our pork is nicely marbled and sweet flavored.

Duette, FL:  Kale and Strawberries


This week we are featuring our three kinds of kale. Lacinato, Red Russian and Siberian kales are delicious.
We offer strawberries in pint or quart clamshells.

Place the kale in the steamer basket in the pot and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook with the lid on for 2-5 minutes. Serve. Italians steam kale until tender, then add olive oil, a little garlic, breadcrumbs, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese in the last minute or two of cooking.

You can cook them just as you would collard greens, which is my favorite way to do it. They abound in great nutrients.

Please have a look at what we have available this week.
Thank you.

Naples,FL:  Please Read


Due to the extremely dry winter our cool season grasses that we planted are doing poorly. We are having to supplement the cows with Barley and Peas.
We have decided that is the best route to go to keep the milk and health of our cows up. We will not feed any soy, corn or any of the fillers in feed such as cotton seed or rice hulls.
The cows will continue to get most of their diet from Hay (local and premium non GMO Alfalfa) Haylage and pasture.

Naples,FL:  market closes Sunday noon EGGS STILL AVAILABLE

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30pm!

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!

Russellville Community Market:  Great News! RCM Re-opening!


Hello RCM Community,

Good news…

We’re happy to report that RCM is set to reopen next week! One of our advisory board members – Josh Lockyer – has volunteered to manage the market at least through mid-May with help from some of his students from Arkansas Tech University. We look forward to bringing the community fresh, local food and other artisan goods again in the coming months. Look for our regular reminders about ordering in the near future.

We’re still seeking a more sustainable model for market management with a strong desire to raise our sales volume to a high enough level to enable us to pay a market manager on a regular basis. Please join us in this endeavor by spreading the word about RCM and bringing forward ideas to discuss at our quarterly board meeting the first Thursday of March.

Thanks for your commitment to Russellville Community Market!
