Greener Acres Farm: Some Changes to Current Inventory
Changes to Current Inventory
Corn, Half Bushels of Canning Tomatoes and Pickling Cucumbers Currently Out of Stock
- Weyant Vegetable Farm regretfully announces about a two week shortage of sweet corn. They have corn planned through October; however, the next variety is lagging behind by a few weeks due to the unseasonable weather patterns. We will announce when corn is available again.
- Green"er" Acres Farm is also noticing changes with tomato production due to the weather patterns. They still have tomatoes available for ordering; however, not in the canning quantities.
- Rispoli’s Produce also announced there is a temporary shortage in pickling cucumbers, but will have more in a few weeks.
- Heritage Hills Farm is currently sold out of chicken breasts and thighs, but still has wings, half and whole chicken.
Change in Name and Size of Product
- Appalachia Malting has changed their name to Golden Farms Milling. Same great company and product, just a new name. They have also changed from 3 pound bags to 5 pound bags. There is a corresponding change in price, but the great news is that it is actually cheaper per pound than previously.
Baking season is soon upon us, so why not try a more healthy, organic product for your baking needs.

The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.
Good morning!
Did you know that by ordering on the locallygrown market, you are virtually assured of receiving the “cream of the crop” from each farmer? You will receive the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! You can’t get any fresher and higher quality than that! Thank you for supporting your local farmers and small businessmen and women.
The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.
This week our very busy farmers haven’t had time to share their weekly news with me, and I haven’t had time to look through the entire list to see if anyone has any new items. So sorry. Please take the time to shop your favorite categories on the market. And then, if you possibly can, check out one more category and see if you can find something new and interesting to try.
Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”
Important Ordering and Pickup Information

Grower Notes
WELCOME BAIN HOME GARDENS
“Once upon a time my husband and I both watched our mothers work hard cultivating our home gardens. As a kid you never fully appreciate the value of home grown vegetables. We are proud to say we do now! Much like our parents we are trying hard to instill the value of home gardening into our children. It is a challenge well worth the work! Our home has been transformed. Checking the mail now includes a stroll our past honeydew melon patch, greetings from butterflies and the occasional bumblebee. The most pleasant feeling of peace has resulted all from getting our hands dirty! Our garden has brought us nice yields of which we are excited to share with the community. We are very excited meet you, learn from you and grow with you towards sustainable, organic, pesticide free produce for our Market at Dothan community. Stay tuned…”
MARKET CHITCHAT
If you were one of the folks who placed orders last week, wasn’t it WONDERFUL that the rain waited till after the Market was closed? The gusts of wind and cooler temperatures were a nice change for everyone, hints of good football weather!
If anyone sees or notices anything odd with their Market account or notifications, it’s because the participation fee goes into effect this week. Current customer accounts are set to expire in the year 2030. We look forward to changing them again then!
FOOD FESTIVAL UPDATE
VIP – Our regular Market online schedule with orders and pickups will continue without interruption while the Farmer’s Market and Food Festival take place.
THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
BAIN HOME GARDENS: Hello market! We are so happy to be a part of this exceptional group of growers serving the Wiregrass area! As many of you have already expressed in the weblog, we too have experienced some losses late this summer due to pests. We are not giving up! We will continue our endeavor to grow wholesome homegrown veggies – from our family to yours.
HAWKINS HOMESTEAD FARM: Please join us in welcoming Bain Home Gardens to the market! They snuck up on us last week but hopefully some of you were able to take advantage of their okra as we did! We know this family and their growing practices personally. They have lots of fresh Non-GMO produce growing for the fall season. We encourage you to try them out as they make them available!
Back on our homestead, chickens are back this week! Please take advantage of fresh organic whole chickens and while you’re at it grab some chicken feet to make a delicious and healthy bone broth or your favorite stock for cooking stews or soups! As always, we thank you for your continued support.
We recently picked up some new laying hens. So more eggs coming soon! Be sure to read the newsletter next week to see why we’re listing fewer eggs for sale on the market now.
Oh! Just in case you missed it, Working Dairy Cows added chocolate milk!! It’s delicious! Plus if you like lamb, you will have to try some from Smith Farms and while you’re at it add a nice green salad bunch from Danny’s greens. We did! Happy shopping!!
Horton’s Farm By popular request we are now offering our Local Honey in 1 Gallon Sizes. For anyone who uses a lot of honey this offers the lowest overall cost, however we do not recommend it for occasional users. Before I became a beekeeper someone gave me a gallon of wonderful local raw honey in a glass cider jar. We LOVED it . . . until it solidified and became hard as a rock. That was a valuable lesson years later as we would not want anyone who enjoys our honey to experience the same thing!
On a more personal note, those of you who knew we were anticipating another grandchild – the wait is over! Soren Keats Wehry was born about 9am Saturday weighing in at 6lb 3oz. Both mother and baby are doing fine. The grandmother is a basket case. We can’t wait to visit this delicious little bundle of love.
RICHTER FARMS: With the days starting to shorten our chickens have started to molt again. Molting causes a seasonal decrease in egg production as the chickens shed and renew feathers. During the molt the reproductive physiology of the bird is allowed a complete rest from laying and the bird builds up its body reserves of nutrients. All chickens will molt annually starting about 16-18 months of age. It occurs in response to decreased light as summer ends and winter approaches. This is the reason we, along with our other egg producers, are not listing as many eggs as we were a few weeks ago. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Champaign, OH: Hurricane Harvey
Our hearts go out to all who have been affected by Hurricane Harvey. In times like these, we stop and realize that we are all in a position to help, in some way.
In conjunction with the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, and the United Way of Clark, Champaign & Madison Counties, we will be helping out!
This week, on our market, there is a featured product for Hurricane Harvey. When you are placing your weekly orders, or if you would just like to donate to the relief fund, you can click on the listing. When you check out, you can edit the “quantity” of the product, to increase your donation, if you wish.
Right now, it is a 1.00 donation. Just shop that, as you would any product that is listed, and after the September 9th date, I will ask the YMCA to submit a check from our market, to the combined efforts of the Chamber, and United Way, for the relief fund!
We thank you, from the bottoms of our hearts, and from those in need…
XOXO,

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!
