Safe and Sound Soap Co.: Summer is coming up, so be sure to check out my Car Air Fresheners for those hot summer days. You should also consider stocking up on my Laundry Soap, so you can keep your clothes smelling fresh and clean this season. I have Lemon Eucalyptus, Orange Bergamot, Lavender, and Lemon Lavender Mint. Looking for a gift that anyone can use? Add one of my Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer Sprays to your cart! It is made with 70% alcohol, filtered water, and my special blend of Argon oil and Jojoba oil, which are excellent for your skin and help keep a healthy moisture barrier on your skin. Just a few sprays, and it kills 99.99% of germs without causing your skin to dry and crack. I also have plenty of my Small Batch Citrus Bar soaps in stock as well as my Room Freshener Sprays that come in Orange Bergamot and my Laundry day scent. They are perfect to leave in your guest room or bathroom, or to give as a gift!
Calico Farms: Gluten-free fans, I’ve got you again this week with our chocolate crinkle cookies. They’re organic & dairy-free, as always, and loaded with antioxidant rich raw cacao powder & heart-healthy coconut oil. Pick up a 6-pack today & satisfy that chocolate craving guilt-free!
Heading out of town for Memorial Day weekend? Grab a bag (or 2!) of our delicious nuts for convenient snacking on the road or at home. We have cinnamon sugared pecans, sweet & spicy pecans & our peanut-free herbed spicy mixed nuts – a perfect blend of cooling rosemary, tarragon, dark brown sugar with a hint of cayenne & delicious grass-fed butter. Truly one-of-a-kind flavors that you can’t find elsewhere!
Special News from CS3 Farms: Carole’s Herbs (CS3 Farms): It is with greatful heart that we are leaving the market feeling blessed with all the relationships we have made through the years. Through prayer and much consideration we have decided this is the time to step back while we pursue new avenues that God has opened up for us. Our last week will be the 22nd. Thank you for the many years of suport. We will be availabe for any needs if you just reach out to us directly through our FB page at CS3 Farms or email at herbs@cs3farms.com. Special listing, we will have bambo sticks available before we leave.
WELCOME Foster Bakery: New to our Market, highly recommended by NashPhilly.
Do you like bread? Enjoy this staple guilt-free by buying a whole wheat loaf from me. Unlike many commercial bakeries that use bromated/carcinogenic ingredients, I use simple and minimally processed ingredients to make a delicious and filling bread. Bread made from whole wheat flour contains greater amounts of protein, fiber, and vitamins. 2-3 slices meets 15% of your daily iron needs and over a quarter of the recommended fiber intake. Whole wheat bread is also a great food to aid weight loss (ask me: I lost 20 pounds after I started making this bread)! This loaf makes approximately 10-12 slices + 2 endpieces. Slice as you go for best quality (unless if you plan to freeze it). Since my bread doesn’t contain any preservatives, it’s best to consume or freeze within 3-4 days of picking up. The bags are freezer friendly.
Emerald Acres: Delicious Lettuce Mix and Sugar Snap Peas, Spring Mix Flowers and Strawberries.
Tailwynds Farm: We have some new cuts of beef available. We have a Picanha Roast Cut. This cut can be grilled to perfection, has wonderful flavor and a similar texture to a sirloin steak and to top it off try a homemade fresh strawberry pie for dessert. If you have not tried a Tomahawk steak we still have some available. We have had amazing reviews on these cuts with customers saying it was the best and most tender steak they have ever eaten. Fire up those grills and give one a try. We have many crops already growing and plan to have all the farm fresh vegetables available as soon as they start coming in.
Peyton’s Plants: Several varieties of Tomato Plants available, all grown using Organic Methods.
NashPhilly: Several prepared items in the Soup, Seasonal Side Dishes and Noodles, Pasta, Italian Sauses Category. Perfect for your upcoming Mother’s Day meal or this weeks meals.
Pinky’s Micro’s:
New Spring blend of power packed microgreens…Romaine, Golden Leeks, Lemon Basil and Red Panda Sorrell.
Also check out our other Micro’s – Basic Salad Mix, Broccoli, Cilantro, Pea, Radish, Red Amaranth, Sunflower and Wheat Grass Shots.
Oakview Farm:
We will have some of its customer favorites this week: Scandanavian Buttermilk Sourdough Bread, Artisan Sourdough bread, Roasted Strawberry Jam, and Homemade Peppermint Patties! Our hens have been laying like crazy, so we have fresh eggs, too.
From our garden, we have our Salad Greens Mix, Cabbage, Rainbow Swiss Chard, and Spinach. We don’t use any chemical fertilizers or pesticides on our produce, so you know it’s good for you and the environment.
Quarter Spring Farm: has 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. You work hard, so treat yourself to an incredible dining experience with our lamb or chicken. It’s healthier and tastier than conventionally grown meats, and better for the planet, too. Our amazing goat milk soaps and lotions will leave your skin feeling like you just dropped 2 grand at a high end spa. You deserve nice things, so let us provide them to you.
Kumaika Coffee:
If you have not started your morning with our Coffee, you are missing out! We have Dark, Medium and Light Roasted Beans. We are a Certified USDA Organic Product provider. We have a small coffee roaster business. We specialize in roasting and crafting small batches of organic, high altitude single origin and fair trade coffee beans. We bring the coffee beans directly from Nicaragua and roast small batches in our home located in Lascassas TN. We have Beans and/or Ground Coffee available or can’t decide order our Sampler of all 3.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Several items ready to plant in cooler weather. Herbs, Ferns, Hosta and Shrubs.

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!

Champaign, OH: Summer Breeze
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
Blowin’ through the jasmine in my mind…
(Seals & Croft)
I know that it is not yet summer, but today, when I was outside, harvesting the small batch Lettuce Be Groovy orders, there was such a nice breeze, no humidity, and a beautiful golden haze to the early part of the day. I had this song running through my head, the rest of the day.
Thank you, once again, for another lovely market of orders!! I love the love that you give to this little local market!
Once again, Thursday evening is here, and that means the market will reopen for your weekly orders!!
Also, I bought a bunch of JC Grower’s radishes, and wow!!!! The best!!! Grab some while they are in season!!
Same for the asparagus…we never know how the weather will determine it’s already short seasonal life span, so don’t miss out on Harrigan’s Harvest Asparagus!!
Hippie and the Farmer have put the Lettuce Be Groovy Lettuce on vacation mode, while it regenerates!! As soon as the plants are mature enough, again, I will add it back!! Remember, this is an experiment in small batch lettuce, and quite fun and interesting!!
Ok, do your thing…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
