MISC MARKET NOTES
Good Afternoon – and THANK YOU to everyone who participated in last week’s order cycle. We had a delightful day at the Market Shed. It’s always a joy to put the orders together and see everyone.
And we hope and pray the recent weather hissy fits have not caused any problems for our Market family. Systems like the ones we’ve seen recently are poignant reminders that we are at the mercy of powers far beyond our control.
Some exciting things are happening:
Mark this on your calendar:
Avalon Farms:
Spring is doing it’s thing at Avalon Farms. This past week we planted our first round of squash and cucumbers. Three kinds of yellow squash, 2 kinds of zucchini, some patty pans, and 3 kinds of cucumbers. Plus, zephyr squash, ‘cause they’re in a category of their own. So yummy!
We’ve got 3, maybe more, new veggies that will hopefully be available later this summer. Don’t want to spoil the surprise so you’ll have to wait to find out. (Assuming we don’t kill them.)
Speaking of killing things, if you didn’t hear about the great St Patrick’s Day plant massacre you can read about it on our website
We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Martin's Farmstand: Farm Life
The farmstand and bulk food room is open this afternoon (April 1, 2023) from 12:30- 5 PM. We have our normal selection of late winter vegetables and bulk food. My wife is baking bread this morning. The garlic that we planted last fall is up and growing (outdoors) and the greenhouse is filling with new life.
One aspect of farm life and management has to do with having a thoughtful mix of enterprises that give enough employment through out the whole year without too serious overload at any time. During the slack times of the year everything that can be done now should be done right away so that during moments of peak load one is not slowed by maintenance etc. that could have been anticipated. Our land base includes a fair amount of woodland that we manage for various uses including firewood and timber production. Parts are managed as sugar bushes and of course there are the environmental and recreational aspects. There is a sense that in the woods we are still farmers nurturing specific young trees for visions that are long into the future. The cold part of the winter is when most of the actual wood cutting is done and then during mud season attention is focused on the actual sawmilling of the logs. This last week I cut a pile of hardwood logs. Some of this lumber is planned for building a nice honey house and place to overwinter bees. We ended up with quite a bit more wood than we have use for so we have a few thousand BF hardwood lumber for sale @ $.75- $1 BF along with assorted wide life edge planks($40 each) Chose from hard maple, basswood, ash, cherry, hickory and butternut.

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.
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!
