Dawson Local Harvest:  Fresh Shrimp Comes to the HARVEST!


DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for May 29th

FRESH SHRIMP Comes to the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST!

HI EVERYBODY

I hope you are all having a nice Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully you can take a few minutes to check out the news for The Market this week.

AS PROMISED we have some exciting products coming to The Market this week. First up we’ll have fresh-caught Georgia white Shrimp from TOM’S AWESOME SEAFOOD. This is fresh off the dock at Darien GA Wednesday mornings and will be available by the pound both fresh and quick frozen. See The Market for more details.

Free-range Whole Chickens are back from GRACE ACRES FARMS. These are whole Chickens, petite with a fabulous taste and texture. Most are just above 5 lbs and are priced at $5.00 a pound which is an unbeatable price. The chickens graze in rotational fields without herbicides, never vaccinated or given growth hormones for true “free-range” quality. If you like Chicken you really got to try this.

LEILANI’S added Snow Peas and Bok Choi to their Produce line last week, and will be adding Sweet Banana Peppers this week in an increasing list of offerings.. As always, take a good look at The Market to see everything that is available.

THE MARKET WILL OPEN AT 8 pm!

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!

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
