JUST IN FROM DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added several nice houseplants to the listings. Available now are needlepoint ivy, cape primrose, wandering jews, and two colors of spider plants, all in 10" hanging baskets. We also have several very nice succulent planters and herb collection baskets for your table or windowsill. Panda plants and aloe vera plants would also be good additions to your winter indoor garden. All these need to stay inside until our frost-free date near the end of April, then will be happy to spend the summer on porch or patio.

We are also making decisions about spring offerings of flowering hanging baskets, vegetable plants in gallon pots, and 6 packs of bedding plants. If there is something special you would be interested in, please let us know by e-mail to tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com.

Jess Wilson of In Town Organics and Summer Fields sends the following message: I want to point out something very exciting that happened in 2014 – that was the opening of Three Oaks Rabbitry on Gudger Rd. in Sewanee. I have raised rabbits for our family and a few lucky others for the past ten years. These rabbits live in large cages that are moved daily to allow access to fresh grass and plenty of hopping room and sunshine when desired. My rabbits are fed oats and locally grown alfalfa hay. I could not sell these rabbits legally in the past because there was not a processing facility in the area. Erich Eichler was willing to do the work (and waiting) needed to change this. Last year his processing facility was inspected by the USDA and FDA for processing rabbits for legal sale in our area! I’m so excited to finally have a legal outlet for selling my rabbits. Three Oaks Rabbitry sells my rabbits as well as rabbits that Erich raises himself and you can purchase them on the market! Domestic rabbit is an incredibly lean, white meat that can be substituted for chicken in many recipes. Check out a favorite rabbit recipe from our family in the RECIPE section.

Republican Valley Produce:  The market is OPEN......

I am sorry I am slow to get the market open this week. Between forgetting to and loosing internet, I am just late. It looks to be a very nice week ahead of us. The only problem is I don’t have many greens to sell. We have lots of roots, but I have picked the greens down to very low levels. I am hoping a week of sun, warmth and water, they will start making a quick growth spurt. We will be reaching that critical “10” hours of sunlight very soon and when that happens growth really starts to pick up.

I will leave the market open until Sunday at 10 pm.

Thanks,

Jay

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Locally Grown - Availability for January 23rd, 2015

Hey Local Food Lovers,

As cold weather sets in a bit this week, consider getting some Locally Grown specialties to warm and cure your body. Here’s some quick tips:

The Herb Cottage Garden has some Cold & Congestion Fighting Herbal Chest Oil. I’m about to use some right now.

Jumpin Goat has about 6 different varieties of locally roasted COFFEE some in whole bean some in ground.

Apparently eating lots of garlic is good for a cold. And we have LOTS of GARLIC.

I don’t know much about the HOT CHOCOLATE ON A STICK-VARIETY PACK from Leslie’s Garden Dream, but it’s got to be good right?

A glass of tea with some good local honey from PURE MOUNTAIN HONEY is probably my favorite night time soother.

And if all that fails and your still feeling a bit cold and dreary, get yourself a bottle of BLOODY MARY MIX from the VEGGIE PATCH and add some other specialty ingredients and that ought to the do the trick.

Thanks for supporting and enjoying LOCAL FOODS.

and EAT, DRINK and in every other conceivable way LIVE WELL!

Justin, Chuck, Teri and Andrew

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Jan 25 2015

Hi, surprised to be hearing from me on a friday evening? Next week I’ll be going to the Guelph Organic Conference on Thurs through Sunday. If want to go with us, we can carpool for up to 4 people.

I’d like to have the market here on Wednesday evening, usual 4 to 6. If you would prefer to pick up at a different time, I can make arrangements, like leaving your order in the cooler in the store.

My grain mill is now back in service so i will be able to offer wyw milled whole wheat and spelt flours.

Does anyone on on this list already belong to the Ontario Natural Foods Coop as a buying club member? I’m thinking this could be interesting to create a club based here so you can pick up what you buy through ONFC at the same time as you come to the farm.
If you are interested in joining, or already are a member, pleased drop me a line via email. There is no charge for membership.
