Martin's Farmstand:  U-pick Strawberries Tommorow Last Picking


The berry patches will be open for u-pick tommorow morning (June 29) starting at 7 AM. Yes we are still open even if it is raining. This is the last regular u-pick strawberry picking for this year. I just walked through the fields; there are still berries left especially in the later areas. Expect to work fairly hard as you will need to hunt for them. I personally think the last small berries of the season are really rich and sweet in a differant way then the main crop is. In the afternoon we will be having the strawberry festival here at the stand. There will be angel food cake, starwberry soda, hot dogs, games and fellowship. This also goes on even if it is raining (mostly inside if necessary)
Next week the strawberry fields will be open for half price gleaning status during normal stand hours (Tuesday- Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM) I will post more details about raspberry picking next week. Daniel

Produce
Pastured Meats
Pastured Eggs
Naturally Fermented Foods
Baked Goods with Organic Ingredients
See All Products

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

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!

Martin's Farmstand:  Snap peas


The peas are ready! There is a bumper crop of both snap peas (edible pod) and regular shell peas to pick in the next few days. Swiss chard, lettuce, dillweed cilantro and parsley are prime.
The early red raspberries are close to peak season. This is about 7-10 days earlier than the average year. Upick on the raspberries is open this week during strawberry u-pick times. Next week u-pick for both raspberries and strawberries (gleaning status) will be open during normal stand hours ( 10 AM-6 PM Tuesday- Saturday) We will have picked berries on the stand on an intermittent basis as labor and supply in the field allows. Black cap raspberries should be ready in about a week or 10 days. The fruit set on the black raspberies was very heavy and we have lots of rain so I see potential to have more black raspberries than we have ever had.
Early green cabbage, yellow squash, zucchini, broccoli and the first of the pickler cukes are at the stand. In a week or so cucumbers and pickles will become abundant and more economical in price. We have started pulling fresh garlic. This is the beginning to summer and lots of bounty. Life moves on quickly. My advice is to eat lots of these good fresh fruits and vegetables as each comes in its season. and to show love to everyone you can as often as you can. The u-cut flower patches are growing nicely. Some of the cosmos have started blooming already. With in a week or two there will be lots of flowers to cut. Our flowers are available free for non commercial purposes again this year. Cut some to make your table beautiful and if you are so inclined also cut some for someone else such as an older shut in person or just to use as an excuse to stop in to someone that you judge could use your friendly face in their lives. If you are doing something with the flowers that makes you money then we would appreciate a donation. Daniel
