Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market:  This Week at the Market


We will not be open this week, but will resume next week for our trip around the world in food menus!
I’ll be catering for the Farm Bureau’s Shirley Pahl’s Retirement Party. She has been an invaluable asset for the last 30 years!! If you haven’t checked out the organization (not the insurance company) you can do so by attending this event at the Canton Chamber of Commerce this Thursday from 5-7pm as we honor her and hope to drive our membership! To learn more:

Have a great week!

Should you forget to order, shoot me a message and I will ask for – but not guarantee – a late order.

In our area are several retailers who advertise “local” products. Some are, some are not-so-local. We want you to know that every product you see listed on our site has originated within 30 miles of Manchester TN. Keep your supply chain short to avoid short supplies. Purchase from local farms! Below is a very small sample of some of the 300+ local products available this week.

Please share this mailing with a friend and invite them to become a customer and share in all this local farm goodness.

(Top, L to R) Mixed lettuce from Frontier Family Farm, Bone-in Pork Chops from Weaver Farms, Christmas Cacti from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, grass-fed ground beef from Triple T Farms.

(Middle, L to R) Several bottled herbs from Cheryl’s Country Garden, Chicken pieces from Wayne Diller, Blueberry pie with sourdough crust from Merriwether Bakes, ground lamb from Solace Farm.

What comes to mind when you hear the word “farming”? I think of my grandparents’ farms. They were both small family farms using traditional planting and harvesting methods to grow their fruits and vegetables. Beyond Papaw’s tractors and hay baling machinery, the most sophisticated tools my folks used were tillers. Nearly all of the work was done by hand, even milking the cows.

Today, I am sharing links to two articles that discuss innovations in farming. The first article focuses on a Virginia-based company which has worked with a cruise ship company to install a vertical farm on one of its ships. This farm produces microgreens, lettuces, and herbs to supply the ship’s restaurant. Here is the link to that fascinating story:
https://richmond.com/business/local/scotts-addition-firm-brings-micro-farming-to-mega-cruise-ship/article_67aaf810-942f-11ed-b9c3-1fc057696845.html

I am also sharing a post regarding the concept of controlled environment agriculture. The use of CEA methods has increased the variety of crops that can be grown in Georgia. Here is that link: https://www.georgia.org/center-of-innovation/controlled-environment-agriculture-georgias-fastest-growing-agribusiness-sector

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

Thanks,

Beverly

P.S. I can’t figure out how to make the links listed above as “hyperlinks” so that you could just click on them and your browser would take you straight to the information. You’ll need to copy and paste the https:// address into your browser’s search feature to access these articles. Anyway, I trust that you’ll find these articles interesting and inspirational.
