CLG:  Opening Bell: Coffee, Honey, Eggs, Kale!


Good afternoon!

Just a reminder that our market will be open every Friday in December. Several of our Growers have season-extending high tunnels that allow greens to be harvested deep into winter. Since this tends to be a slower time of year, you may also see some Growers taking a week or two off here and there, but we will always have a good selection of delicious, locally-grown food.

Make your own beef jerky! One batch turns 2 pounds of GROUND BEEF into 1 pound of delicious and nutritious BEEF JERKY, perfect for hiking or road trips. It’s easy, and inexpensive, with an electric dehydrator, and I will walk you through it if you need help. Don’t have a dehydrator? Well, now you can rent a dehydrator from CLG! Pick it up on Friday, use it all week, and return it to the next market. This is a 4-tray American harvest food dehydrator and jerky maker. Comes with instruction manual and recipe guide. If someone would like to get it this Friday and keep it until the next Friday, just text me (501-339-1039)and I will hold it for you. You can make a lot of beef jerky in about 6 hours. Also has a special tray for making fruit leather (fruit roll-ups). Only $4 per week.

Cedar Rock Ridge now has their 2017 Faulkner County Fair Best of Show Award-winning Garlic listed for only $1 per plant. Ready to transplant into your garden now!

Kale, Lettuce, Spinach, Green Tomatoes, Carrots, Eggs, Radishes, etc. Please take a minute to read about Rattle’s Garden in Vilonia. Tara and her family have done an amazing job since starting their operation from scratch a few years ago. Now she is able to produce A LOT of organic, chemical-free products for several markets. Read about our Growers under the OUR GROWERS tab at the top of the page.

Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 600 items available now!

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!

And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)

The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

Have a great week!

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!

Manchester Locally Grown market





We always have a few new farmers, waiting their turn to join our market and offer their wonderful products to all our customers. In order to add more farmers, we feel it would be best to grow our customer base a bit. We want to be able to offer you and your friends some new local farm products.

The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.

Price is $5/lb ($11/kg) for wholes, 6 to 9 lb size, and $5.50 ($12/kg) for cut pieces.
