MISC MARKET NOTES

Spotlight on Eggs


We are happy to have several growers that produce fresh eggs from healthy happy chickens who enjoy sunshine, fresh air, green grass, vegetable scraps and scratching for what God gives them. With Easter coming in a few weeks it’s a good time to think about stocking up on eggs because FRESH EGGS DO NOT BOIL WELL. Actually they boil just fine, but peeling them is a different story.

Most of the Market eggs are brown in color. One of the wonderful things about brown eggs is that you can create beautiful Easter Eggs with them just as easy as white ones, and brown eggs produce prettier colors: they’re earthy and less garish than the stark colors on white eggs.

For our customers who have their own chickens, you’ll want to make sure to thoroughly wash your eggs if you choose to dye them. Especially when you have your own hens, you’ll need to wash the eggs before dyeing… not because they’re dirtier than commercial eggs, but because they’re cleaner. Strange, huh? Eggs laid by your own hens still have the “bloom” on them, which is a natural barrier left by the hens to keep eggs fresh. Often, grocery store eggs must be washed (sometimes in chemical solutions containing chlorine or lye (yuck)because of the unsanitary conditions they’re laid in, so commercial eggs will already be missing the bloom. Your eggs will not have been treated this way, which is a good thing in most cases… but in the case of dyeing eggs, unfortunately the bloom can interfere with the process, so be sure to wash and dry your eggs first. If you have to use grocery store eggs, we’d also recommend washing them, mostly to remove any chemicals used to “clean” them, but also because some factory farm eggs are coated with mineral oil, double yuck.

One of our all time favorite egg photos. Some of these are dyed brown eggs.

Avalon Farms:

Retro picnic


Strawberries are here, sort of…. at least I think. There are at least 2 pints almost ripe right now! So I’m cautiously listing a few. 

These are listed as “Estimated” quantity available, so the number can go negative. Please forgive my ignorance, I just don’t know how fast these will ripen. 

These have absolutely NO pesticides on them (organic or conventional).

We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. 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!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy 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, then your order is NOT 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 your support!
