News from some of our Growers:

Safe & Sound Soap Co.: All of my products I have created with my own recipes, using non toxic all natural ingredients. I offer my all natural Laundry Soap, which is made with castile soap and essential oils. This laundry soap cleans your clothes very well without using harsh chemicals or fragrances. I also have available my Whipped Sugar 2 in 1 Body Scrub and Wash. This scrub produces a rich lather that leaves your skin soft and smooth hours after using it.
This week my featured items are:
Small Batch Lye Bar Soap
This soap is carefully hand crafted in small batches using all natural ingredients. This week I restocked the Honey & Oat scent. This soap is made with honey from my family’s bee hives, and a special colloidal oat blend, and sweet almond oil. These ingredients combined help fight dry skin and heal blemishes leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated and smooth. I also have Tea Tree and Mint, as well as my Citrus soap and I offer Unscented bars for those who may have skin sensitivity to essential oils.

Quarter Spring Farm: We can help you spring forward this week with delicious pasture raised chicken and grass fed-lamb. We have plenty of both available and lots of free range chicken eggs too. Don’t forget about our sperb skin softening soaps, shampoos and lotions too

Yentz Family Farm: We are back for the season with our ‘goodies’, Country Breads, Hand pies, Banana Bread and Various Snack Bags.

Kumaika Coffee: We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler.

Backyard Tailz: Treat your birds arriving from their winter break with my new Cardinal, Chickadee, Woodpecker snacks. Variety of mixes. Still have a few hanging wreaths availabe.

Lavender Cottage: We are excited to be adding a few more new items. Some seasoning mixes as well as a new powder to our line up. Weather permiting we plan to be on the porch Wednesday during pickup so you can view and purchase from our inventory.

Pink’s Micros:
This is our WINTER microgren blend! Every season we create new blends to represent the time of year. OUR WINTER blend has ’YELLOW BEETS, RED PAC CHOI, IGLOO CAULIFLOWER and CURLY WATERCRESS.
What better way to start the New Year than with highly nutritional greens called Mirogreens? They pack 40 to 100% more vital nutrients than the adult verion. We grow organically with NON-GMO seeds and nutrient-dense soil. We look forward to providing the best for you in 2024.

delicious desserts, we’ve been working and preparing our tunnels for spring produce. Spring will be here before you know it!

Triple LLL Farm: We have our specials posted. We also have added Chicken Thighs and Drumsticks still on sale. We also have added more eggs available

Nash Philly: Nashville Hot Chicken Parmesan? My creative twist on two great dishes. It’s everything you would expect from a chicken parm dish. Tender pan fried chicken cutlets, pounded out, and seasoned with garlic, onion, cayenne, paprika, white pepper and freshly crackled black pepper. Breaded and pan fried to golden brown and delicious. And covered with homemade marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. Served with spaghetti noodles. For those of you not keen to spicy things we are also doing a regular chicken Parmesan as well.

Beef Wellington a true American classic. Seared 6 oz sirloin steaks that are wrapped in prosciutto exclusively being sold from the Hammery here in Murfreesboro. And a sautéed mushroom and onions mixture ( mushroom duxelle) wrapped in puff pastry. As you bake this dish watch it come to life with its flakey buttery crust. Surely to wow yourself, significant other or guests.

Collard greens done differently but well. Try these creamed collard greens. It’s like a hardy spinach and artichoke dip but without the need of having chips, but a good piece of bread goes very well with this side.

Flying S Farms: FRESH FARM EGG SPECIAL, WE LOWERED OUR PRICE THIS WEEK…We have a few new Happy Chickens added to our flock, don’t be surprised is you see a different colored egg in your carton! The ladies are very happy with the weather getting warmer, we are overrun with eggs! So we have a really good Eggcellent this week, single dozen or 3 dozen Fresh Farm Eggs Special. Also our have our delicious Sour Dough Breads, along with delicious Brownies, Biscuits, Friendship Breads, still have few Jams available, we will Jamming soon updating our inventory.

We will be looking forward seeing you “On the Porch or At the Curb" of Quinn’s Mercantile WEDNESDAY, March 13th from 4:00 – 5:30 pm, please note time change, please contact the Manager if you are unable to pick up your order or are running late, please phone, email or text the Manager (615.542.1078) so we can make arrangements to get your order to you.

Do you know that March is the beginning of strawberry season in Georgia? My Grandma Dean was a skilled gardener, and some of my best childhood memories involve times we spent together in her gardens. She grew a variety of fruits and vegetables including tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, corn, green beans, cherries, and strawberries. One fine spring day Grandma and I set out to the strawberry patch. I carried a pail and Grandma, wearing her flipflops, lead the way down the path. We commenced picking berries. But then I came to one that just would not budge no matter how hard I pulled on it. Grandma laughed and said, “Child, you’re trying to pick my toe!” Indeed, upon further inspection, I recognized Grandma’s big toe, with the toenail painted bright red, the same vibrant color as the strawberries! Recalling this memory puts a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. I can’t wait for locally grown strawberries!

Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,
Beverly

Connie's Cornucopia:  NOW In Stock


Just picked up some Boneless Ribeye Steaks. Get them while in stock.

Now Selling Microgreens: Basic Salad, Broccoli, Kale, Mix with a Kick, Pea Shoots, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass. If you don’t like to try the fresh, we do have it in a Dried Seasoning great to sprinkle on Salad, Meats, Pasta and so much more.

Microgreens are very nutritious.

Microgreens are packed with nutrients.

While their nutrient contents vary slightly, most varieties tend to be rich in potassium, iron, zinc, magnesium and copper.

Microgreens are also a great source of beneficial plant compounds like antioxidants.

What’s more, their nutrient content is concentrated, which means that they often contain higher vitamin, mineral and antioxidant levels than the same quantity of mature greens.

In fact, research comparing microgreens to more mature greens reports that nutrient levels in microgreens can be up to nine times higher than those found in mature greens.

Research also shows that they contain a wider variety of polyphenols and other antioxidants than their mature counterparts.

One study measured vitamin and antioxidant concentrations in 25 commercially available microgreens. These levels were then compared to levels recorded in the USDA National Nutrient Database for mature leaves.

Although vitamin and antioxidant levels varied, levels measured in microgreens were up to 40 times higher than those recorded for more mature leaves.

Thanks
Connie

Martin's Farmstand:  Spring Dug Parsnips


The farm stand is open today from noon till 5 pm. Yesterday I dug the parsnips that we had left to overwinter in the field. We washed them up after supper and set the stand in order. There is still a fairly complete selection of cabbage, potatoes, carrots, onions, etc. Spring dug parsnips are extra sweet and delicious so come and get some sometime in the next few weeks. We like to roast them along with other root vegetables and meat in a pot roast.
We will be open the Friday afternoon before Easter March 29th instead of on Saturday March 30.
All the other Saturday’s in March/ April will be open as normal. Summer hours will resume in May whenever the asparagus harvest begins. Daniel

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!
