Few GROWERS NEW:
McIntosh Field & Flower: We’ll be popping up this week at Market Pick-Up! On Wednesday June 14th you’ll find us on the porch at Quinn’s – be sure to order your flowers in advance for first pick or come in person to choose your own on Weds!
We farm all of our flowers right here in Murfreesboro and keeping them as local as possible is our goal. This week you’ll find farm fresh cut flower bunches, gorgeous edible flowers, and loads of colorful floral confetti. We’ve also added a straight bunch of our thick stemmed, sturdy snapdragons. The growing season is in full swing – don’t miss out on this early summer bounty!
East Fork Farm: Luffa
What is a luffa? Think of a “scrubby” used in the shower. Maybe you think of a “sponge”. Luffa is a vegetable and a member of the squash family. When small (about 6") it can be eaten like okra. But at East Fork Farm, we allow them to remain on the vine and grow all summer long until right before the first frost. At that point, they are pulled, dried out, shucked of their outer hard flesh and stripped. This provides long cylindrical shaped sponge to use in many ways. We love our luffa. It has SO many uses. From cleaning your pots, pans and dishes, scrubbing showers, floors, to even a safe chew toy for dogs.
Shroomegy Gourmet Mushrooms:
We are proud to provide truly local and fresh mushrooms from our farm right here in Murfreesboro. Our grow room is overflowing with delicious fresh mushrooms! We also have Lion’s Mane powders and tinctures. Preliminary studies show Lion’s Mane mushrooms help with memory and brain function. I put a dropper full of tincture or a teaspoon of powder in my coffee each morning to help with concentration and focus. THIS WEEK ONLY – get a Lion’s Mane powder sample with any order.
Yentz Family Farm: We are a small family owned farmed based in Shelbyville, TN. Our mission is to provide fresh local produce and goods to serve our local communities while improving our footprint on the earth. Having been raised on a dairy farm in New England, I have longed to return to the farming community, and this second career has provided me with the opportunity to continue that dream while serving others.
Country White Bread, Banana Bread, Banana Nut Bread, Blueberry Bread, Chocolate Chip Bread, Cinnamon Bread, several variations of Chex Mix, Popcorn collection, Chow Chow Relish, Jalapeno Cowboy Candy, Several Traditional Salsa’s, Blueberry Jam, Apple Maple Jam, Tomato Jam and Strawberry Jam
Periwinkle and Pine: we ares featuring our Just Peachy Wreath, Mini Candle Wreath, and our pretty Periwinkle and Rose Farmhouse Wreath. Each wreath is meticulously handmade by me with attention and care.
Be sure to check back over the weeks as I’m excited to begin adding new products for summer!
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: several perennial and annual plants, in pots ready to plant or hanging baskets to select from. Large selection of Herb Plants!
RC Farms: Large selection of fruit and vegetable, various meats and prepared frozen meals and fruit.
Pinky’s Micros: Microgreens and sprouts are extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals and vitamins, and chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are fresher. Put them on your sandwich, top your salads with them, or use them in place of lettuce.
Our new Spring Seasonal Chef’s Blend:
Leeks, Dill, Purple Radish, & Golden Pea Shoots.
Every season we’ll be creating new blends to represent each season. Along with Peas, Rose Radish, Broccoli, Basic salad Mix, and Sunflower.

Dothan, Alabama: June 10, 2023 M@D Newsletter - finally here!

MISC MARKET NOTES
Editor’s Note – We love our customers and love the wealth of knowledge and experience they are so willing to share to help others. What follows is from our own Sherrie T. who contributed to this unique website to both educate and warn about hidden environmenal dangers all of us are exposed it. We highly recommend you bookmark this valuable resource.
That’s the first thing you’ll see on the home page of the Fragrance Free Coalition. While there’s not a lot of information about the Fragrance Free Coalition (FFC) itself, it’s obvious that those involved put a LOT of thought, research and development into the poster that follows. Sherrie T. was one of those who poured many hours into its development. While the poster (below)is printable, each part on the website is interactive and when clicked on leads to pages and pages of research showing the dangers of things in our environment that can cause harm. The website linked above is fragrancefreecoalition.com.
JBW Farm Fresh: More fences are going up and the herds are expanding. The ground is getting harder to push posts into so we are having to drill holes to place them into. Yesterday we finished doing the last of our filming for a video of life on our farm. A snippet of what the finished video will look like can be found on our Instagram or Facebook page! We cooked some of our short ribs in the crockpot and they were so tender and delicious. We still have a selection of those up for sale and highly recommend you to try them!
Mt. Moriah Farms: As many of you know Mt. Moriah worked together as a family long before our family started going many directions. We thought you’d enjoy seeing that we’re working on training the next generation! Thank you for your support of our goat milk products!
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.
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!
