Are you on a gluten free, vegan and vegetarian life style? Our Roasted Cauliflower and Garlic soup, are all 3 of those dietary choices and still absolutely creamy, comforting and delicious.

On the opposite side of being vegetarian but very warm and comforting for this time of year. Our Cajun Louisiana inspired red beans and rice are sure to help keep you satisfied and warm over the winter months. Smokey pork belly and andouille sausage stewed with red beans and Cajun veggies and spices until thick. We have made this into a smaller/ personal version on the market.

Chicken Marsala also always seems to be a warm welcome when the months grow cold.
Pan fried chicken cutlets cooked in a rich Marsala wine sauce with mushrooms, garlic, onions, chicken stock and cream. Great gourmet dish without all the work in preparation.

Safe and Sound Soap Co.:

As you reset your home after the Thanksgiving festivities, consider treating yourself to our Starter Basket. With this best selling collection, you can clean and refresh your home knowing that you are using products made with simple, real ingredients that are safe for your family. The basket includes Laundry Soap, Laundry Booster, Cleaning Spray, Room and Linen Spray, and Hand Soap—everything you need to maintain a fresh, inviting home. Choose from our original starter basket, featuring products scented with essential oils, or opt for our specialty basket, crafted with non-toxic fragrance oil scents. No matter which option you select, you’ll love the natural, effective way our products enhance your home. I’ve made these baskets featured
this week, but if you need help finding it simply search “safe and sound soap co basket” and both options will come up for you to choose from.

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This farmers market allows you to preorder 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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, your order may NOT be 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 supporting local farmers!
