Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Neko and Mavis, two golden doodle puppies, on what they like about Locally Grown

Neko and Mavis, two golden doodle puppies,
on what they like about Locally Grown

We sure do love us some sweet potatoes from Mountain Earth Farms. We have good luck finding them in the pantry when our people have their backs turned. Also the sweet carrots from Leah Lake or Baker Springs farm that we get every once in a while.

But most of all we like the biscuits that come from our favorite Dog Treat Lady who makes them in different flavors. [Editor’s note: That would be Leslie of Leslie’s Garden Dream] Usually, our pack leader gets us the bacon and cheese ones, but last week she got us a peanut butter and banana flavor. Sweet! She says they’re called Elvis treats. Don’t know nothin’ about this Elvis, and we ain’t no hound dogs, but that Dog Treat Lady sure is a friend of ours.

We say thanks to all of you who grow and make the stuff our people eat and share with us. And thanks to all of you who volunteer your time to get it to our people who bring it home to us. You work hard, and you should remember to play hard, too. And sleep some, too. That’s puppy wisdom.

Lately, we’ve been hearing a new phrase, “Thanksgiving dinner.” Sure hope we get some leftovers from the table. Mmmm, gravy. Already dog-dreaming about it.

Pawsing to give thanks,
Neko & Mavis >>

The Cumming Harvest - Closed:  Turkey Deliveries tomorrow

For those of you that have pre-ordered a Thanksgiving Turkey and a holiday ham…Greg will be delivering these tomorrow and you can pick them up between 10-12pm.

Here’s what Heritage Farm has to say…
We have the birds all cleaned and packaged and are headed for home. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! They did run a little larger this year so our average size is 19 pounds and the average breast only is about 7 pounds. All whole birds and breasts will have a balance due at pickup. We sold the whole breasts as an approx 4.5 pound item but since they are almost 7 pounds we will have to collect balance at pick up. In most cases this will be about $20.00 extra on the breast only packs. For the whole birds it will be $7.90 per pound less your deposit. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!!
