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!
PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m.
If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.
COVID19: Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email with any changes to pickup or ways you can help minimize risk for our volunteers and each other. Thanks for your support!*

Would you like a local farmer all-your-own?
One customer has asked me if I would consider being host farmer for their family, supplying everything we produce for a flat fee plus contribution of nominal hours on farmhelp. If you are interested in principle, let me know. It will allow me to plan the onfarm production and workforce for the coming year. You get me to grow what you want, both fresh and storage. The idea is to commit to a local farm for the whole year for most of your vegetables, meats and eggs.
Surf to the online store here to place your order. Store pick up Thurs 4 to 6 or by arrangement.
Healthy eating,
Ian, Cami and Lauren
