Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: Northeast Georgia Locallygrown Availability list for Feb. 13
Good Evening Locavores
Arctic temps,wind chill, snow and ice Oh My! What a week we have ahead. At least we can all plan to spend more time indoors this week and what better way to beat the winter chill than with comfort food, hot and savory from the stove.
The market offers all the ingredients needed to beat the winter blues; from fresh vegetables to meats, eggs, baked goods, and prepared foods. And don’t forget those power packed micros and sprouts from Baker Springs.
You can indulge your sweetie all week with mountain honey and sweet treats from biscotti to cakes.
Have a great Valentines Day and warm your heart with someone special.
Carolina Foothills, SC: Weblog Entry
Hello,
Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up,
I spent last week having issues with my bank going in circles.
I was forced to close my old account and open a new one today. I checked my bank statement hoping to see if everything cleared but honestly there were several items from 2 weeks ago that I couldn’t find…..
If anyone is still holding a check I have written PLEASE bring this to my attention and I will rewrite a new check under the new account.
Also, if anyone wrote me a check and an issue arises concerning it and cashing please bring this to my attention as well.
Thank You,
Susan.
Sorry guys, I was assured when I opened this account everything was fine and no problems would arise when I voiced my original concerns but clearly I was misinformed.

Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The JNA Farm market is open for ordering.
What a beautiful week we have had! I think I could live without 25 degree mornings but at least we are not in New York or Boston and buried under feet of snow. The hyacinths and buttercups are peeking out and I am eagerly awaiting spring.
Farm Fresh Foods has been busy in the kitchen. She uses as much local produce and fruit as possible when working her wonder in the kitchen. Last week she made spinach pasties, the original portable food, and they were beautiful. Paired with a salad or bowl of soup and dinner is on.
Simply Oh! has several soaps and creams to treat our dry skin this time of year. Sometimes it is just hard to drink enough water making it important to use the highest quality lotions and cleansers on our skin to moisturize and cleanse.
For those working out or just working hard, Good Shepherd Herbals has a wonderful salve, Trauma Balm, that is warming a healing to sore muscles. They also have Itch Salve, Beulah Balm for problem skin and Rash Relief. All these balms are made with organic ingredients with emphasis on the natural healing properties of each herb.
We look forward to seeing you Wednesday and thank you for buying local!
Blessings,
Mary Beth
