Farmer Updates
Farmer Ricky Brown of Back River Farm, had a plethora of Yellow Crookneck Squash this past Summer and had the foresight to blnach and freeze in quart packages. They are now available at all Markets. Ricky certainly preserved the Harvest and we can share the bounty!
Cedar Seeder I love seeing the Micro (Veggie) Wrapscome in every week! They truly are a ‘best seller’! Have you tried them? Good for you and delicious! Another favorite of mine are the Bakery Bars. Some folks (ahem…yours truly included> are becoming seriously addicted! If you haven’t tried them, order one today – great Breakfast or Snack! In addition to their Cedar, handmade planters, you can find their Microgreens for Pets combos for Cats and Dogs and for us humans: Arugula, Basil, Broccoli, Kale, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass! These greens are ready to be snipped and added to smoothies, salads or your favorite juice!
Tammy and Jeff Sosby of Peacefield Farms offer hydroponically grown Beefsteak Tomatoes. You can still have a taste of summer in your salads! A variety of other winter veggies are growing and will be available soon! I love having tomatoes in the winter. Being able to enjoy Fried Green Tomatoes at this time of the year makes me a very happy camper too!
Tammy is also offering some homemade scarves that are beautiful. Check them out when you are perusing the Market!
The Veggie Patch is providing a good selection of wonderful, fresh veggie offerings and have fresh Herbs listed as well! Basil, Chives, Mint, Oregano, 2 kinds of Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme and Medicinal Herbs Chamomile and Lavender. Veggies include: Arugula, Broccoli Crowns, Bok Choi, Red Carrots, 4 types of Eggplant, 3 kinds of Kale, 3 Lettuce varieties, Mizuna, Nappa Cabbage, Okra 13 varieties of Peppers from Sweet to ‘call the fire department’ HOT; Swiss Chard and The Weekly Veggie Box.
Be sure and check out the meat selections available from Heritage Farm. Greg tells me that sausage and bacon will be available soon! (Cross your fingers that they will be available on next week’s offerings!) Have you tried Greg’s “Snack Sticks”? They have already become a Member favorite. These lightly seasoned, cured and smoked treats are made from 100% grass fed and finished beef and make a wonderful snack! Caution: they are addictive!
Want to cook a Duck for Christmas Dinner? You are in luck because they are just listed this week! Duck Liver makes absolutely fabulous pate!
Bone Broth made from the Soup Bones from Heritage Farm is rich and delicious! Just the ticket to ward off those ‘winter bugs’ and boost your immune system! I enjoy a combination of Beef and Lamb daily.
David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Try a Brisket smoked! Delicious! Shalley makes a wonderful line of Natural Skin Care Products using the tallow from the Water Buffalo. Her Face Creams are luscious! I am currently using the Tallow Foot Butter which has Peppermint Essential Oil in it. Oh, Wow! Feels great and my feet are looking and feeling great!
Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed.
My Daily Bread Wow! Dabrielle has Pumpkin Spice Mini Loaf, Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread, Cinnamon Rolls and Yeast Rolls on Special just for Christmas week Market! Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas Breakfast – YES! From Challah to Sourdough Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread to Cookies, Dabrielle’s Organic, Fresh Baked Goods are sure to please.

You can choose the items you would like included – she will bake, package and mail your Basket, Breads, Cookies to your special recipient! How easy is that? Don’t see listed what you would like to send? Give Dabrielle a call at 706-878-6826 and she will help you choose the perfect holiday treat to send!
Dabrielle has created a wonderful Gluten Free Greek Pasta Salad that is a real taste treat served cold or warm! Her yummy Hot Pepper Peach Cheese Log is rolled in crushed Pecans and a perfect appetizer for your Holiday party or feast!
Jay and Patti of Dances With Bees have Honey offerings as well as some other great products!
Jay now has Comb Honey, uniquely packaged and ready to go into stockings! I had some this morning on toasted Gluten Free Cornbread from Bakery on Brooks! It is fragrant and delicious. The ‘comb’ melts with the honey into the bread and what a decadent treat!
Patti has created some wonderful all Natural Personal Care Products from Scrubs to Lotions and a great variety of Bath soaks made from Dead Sea Salts and pure essential oils. Any of the Gift Sets would make a wonderful gift. She has several varieties. Or choose one item and add a Beewax Candle! Who wouldn’t appreciate that great combo? Be sure and check out the offerings from Dances With Bees for yourself or for gift giving!
Kathy Barnes of So-Koi not only Coordinates the Lilburn Market, she is also the wonderful lady that makes the great lanyards, aprons, pillowcases and tiny purse bags (for carrying your own sweeteners, salts, etc.) Check out her offerings that are all hand made with love!

The Wednesday Market: Happy Friday! It's Almost Time to Order
Good evening to all of our friends within The Wednesday Market community. We hope you had a good week.
We know that it is a hectic time of year, with everyone dashing around trying to get everything prepared for their celebrations, and we want you to be informed about some changes for our next two ordering cycles.
Because Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve fall on Wednesdays, we are moving the ordering and pick up schedules forward by at least a day.
Therefore, The Wednesday Market will be turned on tonight, December 19, at 10 p.m. to receive orders and will close for ordering on Sunday, December 21, at 10 a.m. Your orders will be available for pick up on Tuesday, December 23, between 3 and 6 p.m.
We will follow the same pattern for the week of New Year’s, turning the system on for orders on Friday, December 26, at 10 p.m. and closing it on Sunday, December 28, at 10 a.m. Pick up will be Tuesday, December 30, between 3 and 6 p.m.
Please be sure to check the website for all of this week’s product listings. Here is the link: http://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
If all of this is too much information to absorb at the moment, do not worry. We will send additional reminders as the deadlines approach.
This has been a phenomenal year for The Wednesday Market! Please take a moment to thank the farmers, beekeepers, bakers, crafters, producers and volunteers who keep the Market going throughout the year. We love our customers and are dedicated to providing you with the best that locally grown agriculture can produce. Thank you for choosing to spend your money here!

Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN
A mountain of long-sleeved laundry proves my kids are all home from college; there’s a big-ol’ Kakalakhi Farm chicken in the oven, dressed with Lazy Willow Farm carrots and potatoes and Slippery Slope rosemary and sage; my dog is chewing on a wrapping paper roll because we’re plum out of Tink’s bones. It must be the holidays!
Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate the wonderous festival of lights; Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the beautiful miracle of birth. And to all, may your days be merry and bright, healthy and -above all – delicious.
Remember: no market next Tuesday, Dec 29.
