Market News

Hello!

It’s been a beautiful weekend! What a delightful change in the weather – hope you all got out to enjoy it! Looks to be a lovely week ahead as well as we head into the middle of September. All the newly planted cool weather crops are loving the mild temps and are coming along great!

There is a new flush of fall flowers in – marigolds, zinnias, and more all in a colorful autumn palette. Now is the time to treat yourself and others, before the season changes again and the flowers are gone until spring.

The Bloomy Rind is taking a break this week to recover after a very successful Southern Artisan Cheese Fest over the weekend. They’ll be up and running again next week!

And, finally, a reminder to bring us your Fresh Harvest bags! We are starting to run low, and would appreciate you return any you may be stashing away somewhere.

We appreciate your support, and will see you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee

Champaign, OH:  It's Magic!


It’s magic you know…
Never believe it’s not so…
It’s magic you know..
(It’s Magic-Pilot)

The weekend…the weather…simply magic!! Well, a little too cold on Saturday, and it did rain on Friday, but, hey…today…today was one of those magical, glistening, clear skies kind of day!! Magic…where the whole day just keeps unfolding to show another layer of goodness. Of magic…
The kind of day that is perfect for adventure. The kind of day that is ready for anything. The kind of day that keeps you and out and about…seeking nothing but fun.

It’s Sunday, the market has been open all weekend, and will remain open until Tuesday night at 10pm!

I urge you to load up on all things, well, when I say ALL things, I REALLY mean…ALL THINGS. We have it all, and more will continue to be added!

Right now, we would like for you to take advantage of the produce, and berries! Seasonal, you know, not around for a whole long time…take advantage, now!

We now are once again able to offer you both Organic, AND NON-GMO layer mash!! It’s from Jim Karg of Rocky Ridge Farms…you are loving his eggs, so why not grab his organic and non-gmo mash!!

Duck eggs are now available from Anchor Acres!!

Raspberries will continue but the black and the golden berries are in short, short duration…if they are on the market, get them, pronto!

Look through the rest of the market…we boast a large variety of all local products!! You love us, we love, you…let the magic begin!

Take a bit of time, get your orders in, and then see how easy your week will become. Just like magic…let us take care of it all…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
Cosmic Pam

Dawson Local Harvest:  Fall into the Market!


DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for Sept. 18th

Fall Into The Market!

HI EVERYONE!

HOPE YOU’RE ENJOYING this amazing weather. It’s been so hot for so long that it’s hard to think we might be close to summer’s end. Need another sign? How about the first Fall Lettuce from LEILANI’S! Yes, the very first cool-weather crop for Fall 2015 is about to be harvested. Fresh, crisp Salada await!! Okra, Peppers, Eggplant, and Potatoes are still available and other warm- and cool-weather “yumies” are on the way! Stay tuned.

When I think of Fall I can’t help but think of crisp north Georgia Apples, and MY DAILY BREAD has got you covered there. First of all they make moist and delicious Apple Bread with organic apples, and you can top that or any of your other favorite breads with their Organic Apple Jelly. Scrumptious!

CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT? Check out HANALEI BATH‘s Dream Bath Salts or their Zzzzz Essential Oil and get ready for a great night’s slumber!

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!

‘A Star is Born’

Yes, our own Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm was filmed at his Farm, with his chickens and his youngest son, Jordan, by Piedmont Healthcare explaining why Eggs from Pasture Raised Hens are superior to eggs one can buy at the Supermarket! Great job, Greg! Thank you for producing such great products for our Members!
Check out the short video HERE
.
Also here is a great “Infographic” about egg labeling and what the label really means. (This infographic was created by takepart and shared by Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist. Both of these links would be great to share with co-workers, family, friends (or whomever) that doesn’t quite ‘get’ the importance of Knowing Your Farmer!!

Tidbits


Jay Parsons of Dances with Bees is offering a Introduction to BeeKeeping Class on September 16th at Rancho Alegre Farm in Dacula. Be sure and check out the specifics – it is listed on the Market Page; however, since the event is September 16th, please do NOT order on the Market! Contact Jay directly if you would like to attend this class! He can be reached at 404-379-7621.


Be sure and check out the Creamed Honey from Dances With Bees that is on Special this week!


Last week, Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm made the trip to the processing plant in KY and Chicken Pre-Orders will be delivered this week. All Pre-Orders must be picked up this week regardless of whether you order items for current week pickup! Whole Chickens and Parts are still available, but you know Chicken sells out quickly! Greg always has chickens growing, but it takes time and there is usually lag time between processing runs! Stock up now! Also check out Bacon Ends and Pieces on Special this week!


Ahhhh, cooler weather! Hopefully the high 80’s and 90 degree weather is behind us! Our Farmers are busy harvesting the last of their summer crops and caring for the Fall and early Winter Crops! Soon we will be seeing the fruits of those labors! With a little cooler temps, some of the late summer crops may come back – it is up to Mother Nature! Be patient, please! Our Farmers are passionate about bringing us the best!


A note about Eggs from Little Tots… Rusty increased his flock to offer our Members eggs and some of the hens have reached maturity and are now producing eggs; however, please understand that these eggs are smaller than the eggs you are used to purchasing. As the hens continue to mature, the eggs will increase in size but due to the breed of chicken will never be as large as those available from Rocky Acres. Rusty has many hens that are still growing and will be producing within the next couple of months. I suggest you order early if you want eggs from Little Tots. Of course Eggs from both Rocky Acres and Little Tots Estate are from pasture raised hens who scratch and peck, eat bugs and generally do “chicken things”. They are supplemented with Organic, Soy Free feed.


My Daily Bread is offering their awesome Chocolate Zucchini Bread on Special this week! Dabrielle’s recipe results in a deliciously moist, rich dark chocolate sweet bread that is perfect with Tea, Coffee or a big glass of fresh milk! The little ones will not even know there is a healthy veggie hidden in this treat! Both the large loaf and the small loaf are on Special! Order an extra to put in the freezer!

Market Closes at 8:00pm Monday!
