MISC MARKET NOTES

Deep in the Heart of Summer

Am I the only one who feels like fall should be knocking on our door? Maybe it was the early heat, maybe it’s been the intensity of our current social/political climate. Many are dealing with family crisis situations . . . and we’re all tired and hot and just want summer to be OVER.

It’s not. A look at the calendar will confirm the intense days of August and storm season are still before us. There’s nothing to do but buckle down, stay cool, be prepared, and get through it. What follows is a hodgepodge of ideas, from mental to physical, sensible to quirky and practical to delicious.

1 Get some REST! Sleep longer if you need to cope with the heat. And if your heart and mind need rest as well the link here is worth examination. Neither your body nor your internal constituents function well when spirit/soul/body are not in alignment and at peace.

2. Socks in the Freezer?? This article from Women and Home has some practical and unique ideas!

3. Pioneer Woman shares 20 (delicious!) Cold Meal Ideas.

From Our Growers

Katherine’s Kitchen Just a Few Words . . .

Right now there is a lot to process for most of us. I don’t know if I can say anything meaningful but we all need encouragement right now, so I want to share a couple verses to tell you to keep going.

“ Then Yahweh said to Joshua, ‘See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.’” (Joshua 6:2)

“Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming.”(Matt. 24:32)

Let us remember that when God wants to overcome an evil force, he will do it, and, like Joshua, have faith that it is already as good as done. Our Lord is coming soon, so let us take hardship as a reminder to be watchful and not as a discouragement towards despair. Don’t get overwhelmed by all there is to do. What is one little good thing you can set aside some time for this week before the week is done? I’m going to try to chop and freeze some bulk produce I’ve bought. Sometimes a little thing like that can lead to really great things later.

~Katherine’s Kitchen

Naturally Fermented Foods
Baked Goods with Organic Ingredients
See All Products

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

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!
