Dawson Local Harvest:  Give Your Pooch a Treat!

The DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for February 12th

Give Your Pooch a Treat (and here’s one for you as well).

HI EVERYBODY, and incidentally it’s not the same treat! Both are from FIVE HENS FARMS. For your pooch they have Dog Bones beloved by canines everywhere. For you and the carnivores of the house their excellently seasoned Bratwurst is back and delicious as ever.

VALENTINE’S DAY is next Sunday, and if you’re looking for something different check out HANALEI BATH in the Bath & Beauty section. Two excellent choices are any of their Bath Salts and their Essential Oils, both nicely-priced so you could give 2 or 3 different products for the wife, and you cam also just give one to the babysitter, kid’s ride, and so on.

I also wanted to remind those of you out there who are trying to eat “good” that MY DAILY BREAD has a wonderful selection of ORGANIC Breads (and Cookies, Muffins, and Dessert Breads). They are committed to the natural lifestyle and I really like what they do and recommend you give them another look.

THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 8pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

We 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! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Have a happy and healthy week!

StPete.LocallyGrown.Net:  Market NOW Open - Feb. 8, 2016

Message from Your Market Manager

Honey from Rebecca!
If you have yet to try honey from Rebecca’s Bees here is your chance. We’ve just been commissioned to sell 24 jars of this heavenly gold liquid. It’s flavor is exceptional and it’s supply is limited. Get it while you can. You can find her at Saturday Morning Market should you miss it here.

Broccoli, mushrooms, and potatoes on the Market this week. Ruby pink Florida grapefruit too!

Update on beef and pork
If you have not yet PRE-ORDERED, please read about PRE-ORDERS on our Q&A page, before you place an order.

• If you have PRE-ORDERED pork, you will receive it on Friday with whatever else you order this week. I did purchase a few extra roasts (Boston butt & a shoulder roast) that are now on hand, first come, first served. Future Pork PRE-ORDERS are now closed. Please note that Low Hills Cattle Company changed its name to Tenaya Farms as of the New Year. The pork packaging reflects this change; however, since this is our final purchase from them, I am not changing their Grower page. I will be sharing their connection info with all of you in the near future.
• Final Beef PRE-ORDERS are being taken for the next two Markets, including this week. I will deliver all beef orders the week of March 7th.

Fabulous Fall Veggies At Last

• This article contends that “the best vegetable for health, nutrition, detox, and glowing skin is the dandelion green. The biggest benefit of this overlooked leafy green is that it cleans the liver.” Makes me want to start making smoothies again! Check out How Dandelion Greens will Illuminate Your Skin.
• I learned something about growing fennel today! “After the bulb grows to about 2 inches in length, cover it with soil or mulch, which will make it tender.” This Guide to Fennel explains how to grow AND eat it.
• With the return of honey from Rebecca’s Bees it’s perfect timing on sharing the “treasure chest of hidden nutritional and medicinal value”… from Liquid Gold: 7 Health Benefits Of Honey That Could Heal Your Whole Body
  

SPLG’S FRUIT BASKET
Starfruit aka carambolas & papayas (ripe & green!) locally grown in St. Pete, plus a variety of dried fruits (cranberries, banana chips, and mango). Non-local: Ruby Pink Grapefruit from South Florida & Braeburn apples from Washington State.

ECONOMY SIZED PACKAGING
FRESH picked greens in abundance this week: Broccoli greens, Lacinato kale, collard greens, Swiss chard, turmeric, bok choy, and arugula.

ON SALE THIS WEEK
Earthworm castings, coffee, smoked Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, chorizo sausage, honey, and turmeric.

KITCHEN GARDEN INTERNATIONAL
This 2009 article from KGI is even more timely with rising vegetable pricing in the stores in 2016. You might be shocked at how much savings there are when you grow your own veggies. Not to mention the health benefits of the sweat equity. Check this out! “What’s a Home Garden Worth?”

MARKET MEMBERSHIP FEE is now $20 if paid this month
If you have never ordered from us, you should know that the membership fee doesn’t get charged until your SECOND order. Our Market Season, formerly June 30th, NOW ends on March 31st instead. That’s $10 per month.

The Wednesday Market:  Don't Forget to Place Your Order Before You Watch the Superbowl

Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

The boys and I are gearing up for the big game this evening. They want cocktail smokies and spinach and artichoke dip with tortilla chips for snacking. I’m not that excited about the game (we’re a soccer family!), but I enjoy watching the commercials. When I was studying marketing in business school, one of our class assignments was to watch the Superbowl ads. Then we debated the effectiveness of the ads’ placements. That was probably one of the most entertaining homework assignments I ever completed.

Isn’t the weather gorgeous today? I hope everyone has the opportunity to get out and enjoy it. Forecasters are predicting possible wintry mix for the Atlanta Metro in a couple of days. So, enjoy the sun while you can!

Thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally. We’ll see you Wednesday.

Thanks,

Beverly
