Martin's Farmstand: Weblog Entry
The farmstand will be open this afternoon from 12:30- 5 pm. There is fresh bread baking. Garlic scallions and chives are new products.
Between yesterday and this morning we finished planting all the onions out to the field. Yes it is done by hand- just poke the little plants into the marks on the bed. We had about 125 flats of onions with 550 seeds planted in each flat. It gave 29 beds of onions in the field. The wet weather forcast is perfect for the plants to grow roots.
The asparagus is coming up however it is not ready for harvest yet. With the cool weather forcast I judge that it will be another week before harvest begins. The spinach that we overwintered in the field looks like it will have fairly large yield. It is about a week out yet before harvest. When asparagus harvest starts summer hours will begin at the farmstand. Daniel

MISC MARKET NOTES
We’re keeping the newsletter short and sweet this week as there’s so very much going on! Gardens are starting to produce, bees are still buzzing, and most days the weather is so nice there’s no reason not to have meals outdoors. Did you know it’s popular in Europe to eat outdoors? Especially in Scandinavian countries that have limited winter daylight. Good food, fresh air, and sunlight are a winning combination no matter what country you live in.
You saw it here first!
Dothan Nurseries graciously gave permission for us to publish their promo for Mother’s Day Open House first. Hope to see you there! Many of our M@D Vendors will be present along with great market friends.
We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!
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 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!
