The Wednesday Market:  Sunday Means It's Time to Order; We Need Help


Good afternoon.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

We need a little help from our friends. The Wednesday Market needs hand rails, or even better, a ramp built to help our farmers and customers access the porch. If you are interested in helping, please contact Sharon Fox, (404) 569-0582.

Have a great Sunday everyone, and we’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

Melody will be back this week with Bop & Nana’s baked items, Tom McColley will be here with potatoes, Kenny Point always has something delicious and interesting and Circle S Farms will be here with their array of products, too. Hope to see you!

News from Our Growers:

The Market has several delicious Summer Produce and Products this week, Baked Items, House and Garden Plants and ‘Worm Castings’ for anyone who grows ground plants or potted plants…order early so you don’t miss any of your favorite things!

WELCOME A NEW GROWER…Their product will help anyone that loves growing things!

East Fork Farm/Worm castings: What are worm castings? Worm castings are an organic form of fertilizer produced from earthworms, essentially earthworm waste, otherwise known as worm poop.

Why should I purchase organic worm castings from East Fork Farm versus a big box store? East Fork Farm organic worm castings are OMRI certified, so you know you are getting a quality product with nothing added. Other worm castings might have additional ingredients added i.e., mulch, unknown soil, etc.

Benefits of using East Fork Farm organic worm castings: Worm castings contains minerals such as concentrated nitrates, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. They are 100% organic fertilizer that can increase a plant’s yield, protects both soil and plants from diseases, repel insects and help the soil retain moisture. Can be used as a top dressing, side dressing, worked into the soil or brewed into a liquid form (Worm- Tea- Ni) to water your plants.
Worm castings have a very long shelf life and never lose their potency if they are kept DRY. Once wet, the castings need to be used within 48 hrs. 100% safe to be used around pets and children. Can be used to revitalize old soil in gardens and around your household plants. East Fork Farm organic worm castings have a neutral PH of 7.0

Ewe and Me Homestead: Have you tried Sheep’s Milk, if NOT you are missing out on a delicious and healthy milk. Use like you would ‘milk’, makes delicious ice cream and cheese.
