Salmon Update!
The Salmon is Available for Ordering!
Hello, Everyone! There’s still some salmon left.
I’m being told that there may be a chance for a second catch to be added but not guaranteed yet. So if you are wanting salmon, I recommend purchasing while you have the chance.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
The packages will be in a couple different ounce packages and range in prices based on $19.00 a pound.
See you Tuesday!

Dawson Local Harvest: The AUGUST PRODUCE UPDATE
DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for August 21st
AUGUST PRODUCE UPDATE
HI EVERYONE!
Here’s what’s happening on the Produce front for late summer. Berry-wise, BRAMBERI FARMS expects to have Red Raspberries for the next several weeks with Blackberries joining their listings shortly. Over at LEILANI’S the good news is Okra is available (and delicious) and should be around a while, the Eggplant is piling in, Peppers are making a bit of a resurgence, and wonderful Potatoes and good Tomatoes are available. The bad news? Corn came and went in a single week due, I guess, to pent-up demand! WOW! Sure was great, though. On a more optomistic note, both Squash and Zucchini plants are flowering so we should have both available in 2 weeks hopefully.
Don’t forget about the fabulous quick-frozen Georgia White Shrimp from TOM’S. It doesn’t get any fresher unless you go out on the boat and cook it as it’s caught!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 8pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
We 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! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
Have a happy and healthy week!

The Wednesday Market: Time to Order; We Need Help!
Good afternoon to all.
The Wednesday Market is open. Please place your orders by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. Please check the website for all of this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Dear friends, we at The Wednesday Market need your help! We are in search of a volunteer to take over the milk run that occurs weekly on Wednesdays between The Good Shepherd dairy farm in McDonough and our Market in Zebulon. The job involves driving to the farm with several large coolers, picking up about 30 gallons of fresh milk, and bringing them to Zebulon. Ideally, the milk should be delivered to our Market at about 1:30 p.m., in time to give our other volunteers time to stock the refrigerators before customers begin arriving.
We have many, many faithful milk customers, and we want to continue to provide fresh, wholesome milk to everyone who orders it every week. We are looking for a passionate, dedicated and diligent person to join our team and help us continue this service. If you are interested, please let us know as soon as possible!
Thank you all for supporting The Wednesday Market and locally grown agriculture. Thanks also for your commitment to purchasing locally. We’ll see you on Wednesday.
Thanks,
Beverly

The Market Is Open!
Good morning everyone,
Fountain Springs are back on the market again this week, I know many of you will be happy to hear.
Check out what Erdmann Farms has; peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra.
Unfortunately KIC Produce will be off the market again this week.
We are currently looking for another produce grower, so hang in there, the market will have more veg soon. Rocky Glade Farm will be selling with us through the fall and winter also.
Sadly, this past Thursday we ended up cancelling the market. We had so few orders and the orders we did have, some of the growers had trouble filling and ended up with 2 items on order. We want to continue this market through the winter and not give up but we need more growers and more customers and so sincerely appreciate those who have continued to support us each and every week. The market cannot grow without active support so please order if you haven’t, spread the word to those seeking what this market offers and help give Bedford County a boost forward in supporting local and going green. Thank you!
From Rocky Glade Farm
“Rocky Glade Farm Winter CSA Information Sheet
Rocky Glade Farm is happy to offer a Winter CSA for the 10th year in a row! CSA is short for Community Supported Agriculture, also known as subscription farming. As a part of our Winter CSA you will be subscribing for pickup of fresh veggies every other week for 15 weeks, beginning in October and ending in May. (Please note: you are paying for 15 boxes of produce, you will see 16 weeks listed below, we will cancel one of those pickups during the winter growing season due to weather or holidays)
So what do we grow? We try to balance our growing between greens and root crops. Within each category we will probably grow several different varieties, butterhead lettuce, crisp lettuces, romaine lettuces, several types of radishes, dinosaur kale, red Russian kale etc. What follows is a list of main crops you can expect to find in your box over the course of the CSA: Several heads of Lettuce, Radishes, Onions, Beets, Swiss Chard, Kale, Herbs, Parsley, Cilantro, Broccoli/Kale crosses such as Happy Rich, Carrots, Asian Greens, Brussel Sprouts, Sweet Turnips and Turnip Greens, Collard Greens, Cabbages, Spinach, Lettuce mix. In addition, you may start and end your box with other seasonal vegetables such as winter squash, and sweet potatoes and wind up the season with spring crops like broccoli and strawberries, no promises on those items as they totally depend on weather and supply, but we try to do what we can to make sure you have a good variety of veggies throughout the winter months.
Our pricing for 2015-2016 stays the same as last season. Pricing will be $30.00 per pickup which translates into $450.00 for the entire 7 month harvest season. There are two ways to pay: 1) pay in full at the beginning of the season $450.00 (September 15) or 2) two payments of $225.00 (Due dates September 15, February 1)
A deposit of $225.00 is required by September 15th to reserve your spot in the Winter CSA.

Hello, little local market of love customers!!!
It’s been a great week of all things celebrating local, ending in a local event, yesterday, up in Mutual, at the Madden Road Music Festival!
We are so fortunate to live in a community that supports our local food movement, understands what real local is all about, applauds all of our efforts, and welcome us to their events, showing us so much love!
Yesterday, I was one of the vendors at the music fest with my Cosmic Pizza My Heart Festival pizzas along with your assistant manager and family of Oakview Farm Meats as they grilled their popular local selections.
Throughout the festival, the bond of local was strong. The community interest in what we do, the interest in this little market was overwhelming, and the trend toward eating only local was spoken, all day.
This market makes me so proud. The vendors are amazing, the customers are the best, and our host, the YMCA, couldn’t be more accommodating!
It takes a team of local loyalists to keep spreading the word so that this market continues to thrive!
Thank you for being a part of this local, community local, in your backyard local, market!
We are open, we will be open until Tuesday evening at 10pm, we encourage you to make a list, place your orders with us, and make your week an easy, stress free kind of week.
Make sure to take advantage of seasonal items!!! We have red raspberries/blackberries from Champaign Berry Farm!
We have amazing produce from our produce vendors!!
Remember…the season is quick, and the seasonal products will soon disappear!!
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
