Berea Gardens:  Market news for Wednesday

Hi Friends,

I had a very busy week and completed some extensive orthopedic surgery on my Kia. This week I turn my attention to arterial bypass surgery on my Dodge pickup and perhaps a wrist replacement surgery on our Volkswagen…… so, I again will not be opening the store for pre-orders this week, but we have a lot of product that will be available to you at Wednesday’s market. I am including the list of what we will have with this email, but you will notice that all of the items listed show an availability of zero. We actually have pretty large quantities of each item and the zero is simply to prevent inadvertent orders going through the website. Please do not try to order off the website this week. We will have plenty of this stuff on our table for you to pick up.

We have a large quantity of some very good cantaloupe this week and also some of our superb Leelanau Watermelons. These are a very sweet, yellow fleshed variety that I trialed this year and will be adding to our crop list again for next year because they are so good!

Hope to see you on Wednesday.

Blessings,
Bob & Lynnita

Growers News:

Safe & Sound Soup Co.:
Check out my new hand soaps and refill packs! Each scent is refreshing and they are made with Castile soap to moisturize and cleanse with every wash! My laundry soap also now has a NEW look! My logo is printed right on the bag, and the small size now comes in 52 ounces instead of 64. It comes in several different scents, all made with pure essential oils! I created this laundry soap for people with skin sensitivity, and it only contains 5 ingredients! 4 if you opt for the uncented. It cleans your clothes using all natural minerals and Castile soap!

Calico Farms:
Did you know we use an organic heritage flour in all of our non-gluten-free baked goods? It’s true! It’s a pre-1950’s wheat that is milled super-fine from Sunrise Flour Mill, making it more easily digestible than other flours. We use it exclusively because it’s delicious, more nutritious and, as I said, easier on our GI system to digest.

Have you tried our teas? We have 4 organic herbal varieties available: Summer fruits, peppermint hibiscus, immune support & bedtime (one of our most popular). All are house-blended and fantastic whether enjoyed hot or iced…and iced tea season is definitely here.

Daniel Peppers and Spice – WELCOME NEW GROWER — Naturally grown chili peppers using only living soil and organic fertalizers. Peppers can be dried for later use, pickled or freeze for later use

Windy Bluff Farm – WELCOME NEW GROWER
we are a small family operated dairy farm located on a bluff on 30 acres overlooking the Cumberland River in Trousdale County in Middle Tennessee.
We sell our 100% all natural artisan goat milk soap, other natural products & hand crafted goods. Our all natural farm products are made from 100% all natural, wild crafted and simple ingredients. Windy Bluff Farms all natural artisan goat milk soap is approved by a licensed esthetician.
In season we offer some of our ADGA registered Nigerian Dwarf goats from heavy milking and showing lines for sale that we have not retained. Our goats are managed as naturally as possible and free range on untreated pasture, during the day, under careful watch of our two livestock guardian dogs. At Windy Bluff Farm all of our Nigerian Dwarf Goats are Dam raised and handled multiple times a day. Our goal is to breed and raise quality goats that exceed in health, conformation, milking abilities and friendliness; whether you are wanting to show, have a few backyard milkers, start a small herd or just have a few pet companion goats.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Apples are available this week, always check back now during the change in weather, fruits will vary.

Linwood Lamb: We are getting a lot of positive comments on our feta cheese and spinach lamb sliders. They come in packs of 6 patties, are great on the grill and are quick and easy to prepare. Give them a try this week.

Quarter Spring Farm: We now have Garlic and Garlic Braids as our feature item this week!

We also have all the affordable luxury that you need this spring. From our moisturizing soaps to our delicious meats and eggs, we have all the goodies to pamper you.

Side NOTE: Flying S Farms LOVES our Light Ground Roast!

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
They say about perennial plants:
“First year they sleep,
Second year they creep,
Third year they leap!”

Most of the plants you have purchased from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, particularly in early spring, have been early second year perennials. They are beginning to creep, meaning slow and steady growth, and flowering for their first season, after sleeping in the greenhouse last year and growing strong root systems. But I have a good stock of many of my perennials right now, and would like to offer these larger pants to you, after a second season of growth, for the same prices as the younger plants. Planted now and on into fall, they will put down strong root systems and be ready to leap into full growth and bloom for you next spring! Check through my perennial listings and see what you can use as fill-ins in bare places in your gardens.

I also have a good stock of full, healthy herb plants to add for culinary or medicinal use. I have one of the largest selections of herb plants in middle Tennessee. There is no need to travel to Nashville or Huntsville for those less common herb plants! And my plants are grown and nurtured right here in Coffee County, not in another state and shipped in to the big box store.

If you don’t have a place for herb plants, but you still want a stock of fresh herbs for culinary or medicinal use, please check out my Fresh Cut Herbs.

Periwinkle and Pine: We are excited to showcase our new beautiful Lavender and Peony wreath, and our pretty summer Periwinkle Berry and Rose wreath. Every wreath in our shop is lovingly handmade.

Trinity Rose Micro Dairy: We are happy to offer raw cows milk from our Jersey cow. “Zoe” is tested A2 / A2 protein which may be easier for people with milk allergies to digest. Our girls are on pasture full time and get a non-GMO & organic mix of grain while being milked. All milk sold as labeled for pet consumption only as per Tennessee State law.

Arrington Bread Co: We make our sourdough with simple, quality ingredients and our 88-year-old sourdough starter, which we named Josh Dough-ban because we raise him uuuuuup!

We offer flavors like jalapeño cheddar, Parmesan garlic, strawberry cheesecake, and of course our classic plain! Plus many more. We look forward to baking for you!

NOTICE…Several of our Meat Producers are offering sales, be sure to check them out.

Flying S Farms: Several great vegetables to offer this week and our Chickens have slowed down again, they hate the heat! Weather plays a big factor in how they lay their beautiful Brown Eggs. Sour Dough Bread this week plain or fresh ground wheat. Unfortunately no sweet breads, set back is due to Ben’s changing treatment schedules! He is doing fine, they are adding more follow up test and so far so good.

MISC MARKET NOTES

The Good, the Bad, and the Needs a LOT of Work

Many of you in our Market family are aware that after a long construction break your fearless Market manager began rebuilding the garden at Hortons Farm this year. We’re building quite literally from SCRATCH after years of an unplanned sabbatical as evidenced by all the wild grass trying to take over. But rebuild is started and this is an update on our progress AND lack of progress.

The GOOD: PERMACULTURE WORKS. So far I’ve built four permaculture beds (in addition to three stock tank raised beds) from locally sourced and recycled material here on the farm. I decided on this after years of observing a relative’s success with this method and studying multiple sources on the internet. I’m happy to tell you that I’ve had minimal weed problems inside the beds that were planted and have been happy with what they’ve produced.

One of our favorite things is a burn pit that Mr. Horton blessed the garden with. We currently have a good amount of charcoal made from felled limbs around the property. It will be crushed and activated to use as biochar in existing and future beds. We are SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to create this “thousand year fertilizer.” The only downside to the burn pit is that I have to watch my step if I venture near it after dark. That sucker is DEEP.

We’re also starting to see a few winecap mushrooms spring up in the beds from mushroom spawn included at construction. This was added to speed the soil building process. WindRiver Microbes from Longears & Herbs are in there too to give the soil additional advantage.

The BAD: In retrospect I should have worked on walkways simultaneously while building the beds. Since that didn’t happen nature took over and it’s been a battle keeping grass and weeds low enough to walk on. Thank God for weed eaters! But with all the rain it’s still a lot of work keeping it under control as evidenced by tall grass (on the left) in the photo below.

This developing bed has comfrey next to the fence as a grass root blocker and is being filled with asparagus. We’ve learned from experience that asparagus can naturalize so we planted seed and will do transplants this winter.

”NEEDS A LOT OF WORK”: Where do I start!?! This winter I’ll be working on east side infrastructure: finishing the bed(s) needed there and fixing the paths between beds so all the existing grass/weed roots are dead by spring. I’ll also be collecting more organic material for building soil in the beds.

Greenhouse repairs are needed. Thankfully we have the material and I should be able to start seed again early next year.

Once the she/shed and garden fence (west side) are completed the plan is to cover a section of ground with tarps for a few months as the beginning of a Grocery Row Garden. That’s a whole topic in itself!

Finishing up: the following is my favorite bed. I think it’s beautiful. It is the newest and is built around a witch hazel tree from Dothan Nurseries, Greenhouse and Gifts. (And I can’t tell you if they’re still available as it’s been there a year or two.) As you can see, it’s rather rustic with big logs and branches for borders and all kinds of plant material tossed on top. Right now the plan is to put tumeric and maybe ginger on either side of the tree once the material underneath has broken down more. If you can see it, those round things on top are anniversary roses gone on to their next life.

From Our Growers

Katherine’s Kitchen Happy August!

God has been so merciful to us this July with all the rain. Even if you’re not a farmer, you can thank the Lord that this will help keep fresh seasonal food prices down this summer. I hope we can all get ready for a typically hot August and use the lush results of July to prepare us for possibly some real dry weather coming up!

Here is some poetry by Isaac Watts to put our thankfulness into words:

With songs and honors sounding loud
Address the Lord on high!
Over the heav’ns he spreads his cloud
And waters veil the sky.
He sends his show’rs of blessings down,
To cheer the plains below;
He makes the grass the mountains crown,
And corn in valleys grow.

~Katherine’s Kitchen

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers.

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!
