The Wednesday Market:  The Wednesday Market has moved!


Good evening. We hope all is well with everyone throughout this Memorial Day weekend.

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. Check the website for all of this week’s offerings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Now some exciting news: The Wednesday Market is now in its NEW location!

To get there, from our previous location, turn onto Adams Street (across the street from Zebulon First Baptist Church), drive past the old Zebulon Elementary School and Pike County Schools bus garage, and we are the next building on the left going toward the cemetery. Actually we are the ONLY house on the west side of the street facing Adams Street.

Customers coming from Griffin may want to avoid going all the way through the Courthouse Square by turning right onto Dunn Street (just past United Bank). At the end of Dunn Street, turn left, and the Market is on the right side of Adams Street. Look for a little yellow bungalow-style house in the pecan orchard.

We are looking forward to serving our customers from this new location. We have lots more space for products, customers, parking, and vendors!

Thank you to everyone who helped in preparing the new building and for those who volunteered their time moving everything. We couldn’t have done it without all of your generous help!

See you Wednesday at the Market on Adams Street.

Thanks,

Beverly

MARKET NEWS

Welcome Rockin’ H Farm!

Website: www.RockinHFarm.com

Rockin’ H Farm is a small farm in Statham, GA owned by Amanda and Tyler Hall. It is our mission to supply local families with locally grown natural, sustainable, and chemical free vegetables, meats, eggs, honey, and fiber.

We currently raise Lamancha dairy goats, Heritage Ancona Ducks, Silver Fox Rabbits, various laying chickens, huacaya alpaca, Great Pyrenees LGDs, bees, and a small garden.

In 2015 we will offer fresh, raw hormone-free, antibiotic-free goat milk, farm fresh non-soy, non- GMO duck and chicken eggs, honey from our small apiary, heritage rabbit, pastured heritage duck, hand spun alpaca fiber and products, farm fresh veggies, and hopefully pastured heritage turkey for our community.

Rockin’ H Farm has cleared the back 6 acres of the property and is currently tilling, seeding, and fencing to prepare for sheep and pigs later in the year and early next year.

We have also just obtained the neighboring 10 acres, doubling our current size and allowing for several more opportunities for the future!

Currently, there is rabbit meat and goat’s milk with more additions coming! Check them out!

Your Attention Please!

*We have the opportunity to get fresh frozen Sockeye salmon which is the best of all salmon as a pre-buy in June. This salmon is picked out of the nets of the Alaskan fishing boats before they are put in the holding area below deck and they take these salmon straight to the processor who filets them and flash freezes them! They are shipped to Georgia and all this happens within 2 days! You cannot get fresher than that!

UPDATE
*
*If you are interested in buying salmon which is only available during their season in end of June and month of July. The word is that packages will be about 8 ounces to a pound and sell between $16 to $18 a pound. They will know more as it gets closer. If you are interested in participing in the pre-buy, please email me at grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com! This is through one of our Growers!

There are no workshops next week but I will update new workshops for the month of June as I know!

_As Always….
_
Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living. *_

Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!

If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your imput!

Remember…
The Market is open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!
Having said that, if you place an order with us, PLEASE remember to pick it up on Tuesday. As I am so grateful for your orders, I also have a family at home waiting on me too! We cannot hold orders, especially cold items due to limited refrigeration space, so please be courteous and come for your order.

Thanks for all your support!

Shop often and eat well!
