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!

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for all you do to support the local food system, small farmers, and our community. You may not realize it, but each time you make an order from CLG, you are supporting an essential part of the local food ecosystem.

As you know, CLG is not a huge market, we don’t sell thousands of pounds of food each week, and sometimes you may notice we have a limited offering. Nevertheless, it is important that we exist, and your continued support makes a big difference. If you have time to continue reading this email, I will try to explain why.

CLG is one of the first stepping stones for small and beginner local farmers. There is a very low barrier for entry to our market. Beginner farmers can list as much or as little as they want while they are learning best growing practices, how much they can expect to harvest, what customers want, etc. Small farmers can conveniently drop off what they already know has sold and then get right back out to farming—no need for them to wait around for hours without knowing how much they will sell.

CLG often sees farmers grow big enough to start selling to restaurants or retail stores, or even open their own on-farm stores. Sometimes this means that they list items less frequently on our market or stop coming all together because they are able to sell bigger and more consistent quantities elsewhere. This is bittersweet for the market. While on one hand we are happy to see farmers succeed and flourish, on the other, we are sad to see them go and have to work very hard to find and recruit new farmers.

Nevertheless, small markets like CLG, and customers like you who are consistently willing to shop for what we have available, are the breeding and nurturing grounds for small local farmers. Your support sustains the first wrung in the ladder of the local food system—a system that is striving to provide fresh and healthy food, be friendlier to the environment, keep local jobs and local dollars in our community, cultivate relationships, foster resilience, and much more.

You may not realize it, but you are a part of a global movement struggling to make a positive impact on our world, one meal at a time. Thank you for being part of this community and supporting the work we do.

Your friendly market manager,
Sandra
