Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  The on line market is open for ordering.


Greens, glorious greens! The fall crops are quietly coming in and I am so excited. Kale salad, collard greens and sausage, roasted cabbage and brussel sprouts…the list goes on. I can’t wait to see what GA Farm to Table has for us this week. They will be updating the market as soon as their growers report what is available this week.

Don’t forget to place your orders for Elderberry syrup this week. Dena will deliver in October but needs to know how much to bring.

We currently have unsalted butter but no salted. I have placed another order for salted but it may be a few weeks before it is ready.

Thank you for making the effort to support locally grown foods. Every dollar really does make a difference to your farmers.

Blessings,
Mary Beth
