MISC MARKET NOTES
After many weeks of mostly mild winter weather today (Saturday, Jan 6) is a breath of fresh air and this editor was counting on rain to justify staying indoors for desk work. So I’m dealing with both gratitude for warmth and open doors and discontent that I’m not outdoors doing something my body thinks I probably shouldn’t attempt, lol.
Most people go into a New Year with resolutions; they resolve to do something to benefit them personally or professionally. This never a bad thing, but it can be attempted badly resulting in failure. Failure leads to discouragement and eventually discouragement leads to “why even try?”
My own experience is that I always attempted too much at one time and expected too much too soon. Last year, 2023, I went a different direction and did something different by making myself accountable to an outside authority. It worked, but it took a whole year to actually see results. The key was little changes over a long period of time. Then the blessing showed up.
Change is like that – in the case of resolutions in order to be permanent, it needs to happen slowly over a long period of time.
So whatever your 2024 goals are, make your plan, call in help if you need to, break it up into bite size chunks and keep working your plan. Eventually you’ll look back and be proud to say “I DID IT!”.
D’s JELLIES: D’s Farmhouse Kitchen Recipes: A Recipe Book with 180 recipes that are simply delicious. The recipes are easy to follow. The Cookbook is perfect for someone who wants to learn to cook as well as for someone who wants to add a Cookbook to their collection. I was a Contributing Chef for Wiregrass Living Magazine for 9 years. D’s Jellies – I am sold out of D’s Hot Pepper Jelly and it will probably be late July before Peppers will be ready and Jelly can be made. D’s Mayhaw Jelly and BlackBerry Jelly will be available in February. Thank you to my customers who continue to shop with me. Dianne Herring
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!

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: Farmstand is open
The farmstand will be open tommorow afternoon (Jan 6,2024) from noon till 5 pm. This evening I went though the stand and cleaned up the displays and restocked everything. I also peeled and bagged a tub of garlic which is available to purchase. There is something cozy about seeing all this bounty of good food on a winter evening. Come and enjoy. Daniel
