Summer is my favorite season for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that it is tomato season! Who can resist a tomato sandwich on white bread with just the right amount of mayo? Then there is the classic BLT: toasted bread, bacon, lettuce and tomato. It’s the perfect lunch for hot weather. My favorite preparation of fresh tomatoes is caprese salad. This dish consists of sliced tomatoes layered with slices of fresh mozzarella cheese and finely chopped bits of fresh basil. Everything is sprinkled lightly with sea salt and drizzled with balsamic vinegar. So simple, yet so delicious!

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

Thanks,
Beverly

P.S. If you have questions about your order, please contact Nelda. She is available by text, email, or phone call.

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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, 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.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!

Martin's Farmstand:  U-pick Saturday June 15 starting 7 am


We are opening the strawberry patches for u-pick tommorow morning (Saturday June 15, 2024 starting at 7 am. I am just returning from scouting the berry patches. We are nearing peak season. There are a lot of berries to pick in the morning- enough that we should not sell out quickly however that just depends how many people come….
I am also seeing a large amount of almost ripe berries. Next week will be a big week for strawberries.
For the best eating experiance I strongly urge you all to only pick berries that are fully ripe and bright red. If they are still orange colered or have green tip leave them for the next picking. Fully ripe strawberries are much better tasting.
The new patches (planted in 2023)of strawberries are doing very well. The older patch (planted in 2022) looks terrible however there are berries in there that need love. Starting tommorow that block will be open for half gleaning status. This patch is located out past sign post three at the end of the center driveway and south of our house. The berries in that patch are small.

Hours for u-pick are Monday starting at 5 PM; Wednesday, starting 2 PM (no morning picking on Monday’s and Wednesdays); Saturday, starting 7 AM. This repeats through out the whole season. The patch closes when the berries are all picked or at 8 pm on Monday and 6 PM on Wednesday and Saturday.
When you arrive you do not need to stop at the stand to weigh your containers if you know the empty weight already. Also you do not need to stop if you are picking into standard Quart containers.
You have the option of bringing your own containers or buying empties from us. Quart boxes 25 cents each. If you are buying empty containers from us please pay when you get them rather than after you are done picking to minimize confusion as to what is going on.
NO DOGS in the field or stand areas. We will be using the same random picking pattern that we did last year. This means that you may start anyplace you wish in the patches that are open as long as you are not cutting in front of someone. It is mandatory that when you are picking that all the ripe berries are picked as you move No roaming or grazing type picking. A section of row must either be picked or not picked when you leave. We will be scouting the patch and keep suggesting where you will find good picking.
Pricing u-pick: $5 per Quart if less than 8 quarts and $3.40 per quart if more than 8 quarts; $27.20 for an 8 quart tray. All containers are expected to well filled but not heaped. We will adjust prices up or down as needed for over or under-filled containers. By the pound price is $2.30/# (limited to bigger containers or larger amounts). If you pay by credit card there is a 3% surcharge added to the above prices and you will need to use the inside checkout station rather than outside express options. Daniel
