ALFN Local Food Club: Chag Pesach Sameach!
Whether you’re eager for Easter or planning the perfect Passover, now is the time to start gathering ingredients for your spring feast. The Market, as always, is brimming with gorgeous local ingredients ready to take center stage on your dinner table and add those little touches that make a great meal truly shine.
If you’re looking for seder staples, look no further. We have your maror and chazeret, karpas, zeroah, and beitzah, even pecans and cinnamon for your charoset.
For those of you whose feast is April 5th, we’ve got you covered as well. You can’t go wrong with a classic leg of lamb, and don’t forget to stock up on eggs, eggs, and more eggs. You can dye ’em, hide ’em, hunt ’em, and even devil ’em. So make sure you have plenty to go around.
While it’s always fun to plan the menu, don’t neglect the decor. Nothing brightens a room like fresh cut flowers, and no flower is more indicative of spring than the humble yet lovely tulip. Lucky for us, nature has decreed that the first tulips will be ready to adorn your table by the end of the week. Order now, and all this could be yours:
-Rebecca Wild

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: News: Market Closed for Spring Break and Upcoming Events

Market Closed April 7th (PLEASE READ)
Due to Spring Break the market will be closed on April 7th. Please consider doubling THIS WEEK since we will not have pick up the following week.
Raw Jersey Cow Milk from Cedar Rock Dairy
Closing the market is tough on the cows because they have to be milked regardless so Sam from Cedar Rock Dairy (Raw Jersey Cow Milk) will have a milk pick up on Tuesday, April 7th from 1:30pm to 2:30pm at the back of the warehouse in the loading area. Sam promised me his delivery guy Benny will be on time and he will riding with him to make sure.
You will have to pre-order milk from Cedar Rock Dairy this weekend if you want it on 4/7. You will see additional listings for milk on the market site this weekend. It will be marked (PRE-ORDER) and this is a pre-paid preorder so payment is expected by Tuesday 3/31. This will be for both milk in glass and plastic. We will not take last minute orders so please plan accordingly.
Sam will also be accepting jars returns that day as well. I will give Sam all the jars that were returned the week prior. Please do not bring jars to my house.
Thank you again Sam for offering to do this!
Produce Boxes – Because the warehouse will be closed on April 7th we can’t have boxes delivered and we are looking for an alternative location.
I don’t feel comfortable with boxes left outside the warehouse unattended either.
Unfortunately, no one volunteered their garage or covered area for April 7th and we don’t have another pick up location. Nature’s Garden will offer home delivery that week and they will send you a separate email.
Market News
Message from Great Harvest Bread Company:
We hope everyone enjoyed their FREE loaf of Honey Whole Wheat this week! If you liked it please consider ordering on the market website.
Great Harvest is a “from-scratch”, whole grain bakery. Our products are so “from-scratch” that we even grind our own wheat. We buy the highest quality Non GMO Montana wheat, grind it into flour using a real stone mill, then bake with it within 24 hours. That fresh ground, whole grain flour has more nutritional value and great taste than you’ll find in any other bread in a grocery store.
We use no preservatives and nothing artificial. Our premiere bread, Honey Whole Wheat, contains just five ingredients; stone ground Montana wheat, light amber honey from local hives in south Georgia, salt, yeast and filtered water.
We need at least a total of 20 loaves of any of our breads ordered on a weekly basis for us to deliver to the market location in Buford.
Thank you for supporting your local bakeries and businesses.
Erika and Ray Boland
New Items this week:
Jerusalem Artichokes – B&B
Gluten Free Breads – Great Harvest Bread Company
Skin Care – Buffalo Gal Grassfed Beauty
Sweet Pea Garden:
Sweet Pea Garden has not left the market. Mel will be back either this week or the week after Spring Break.
Feedback Survey
Wow! We had a great response rate and I really appreciate your honest feedback. I’m still compiling the results and if you haven’t already responded to the survey you still can. I will close out the survey this Sunday. After I compile the data I will let you know about upcoming changes we will make to the market. You will definitely see some new products coming soon based on the survey.
Group Buy:
Butter & FCLO group buy order will be available for pick up this Tuesday. If you can’t pick up this week we will keep it for you until you can. Group buy items will NOT be donated.

Upcoming Local Events
Grow Your Own-The 4th Annual Real Local Food Festival
Dabrielle from My Daily Bread and Maryanne from Heirloom Living Market will be at this event!
The local food movement continues to grow in popularity as people become more health conscious and more attuned to where their food is originating. If you have a desire to grow your own food or lessen your impact on the environment by purchasing locally grown produce, ground flour, and eggs, the Environmental and Heritage Center (EHC) invites you to its fourth annual “Grow Your Own – The Real Local Food” festival on Sunday, March 29, 2015, from 1 pm until 5 pm.
The festival will include speaker sessions, guided plant hikes, and demonstrations conducted by local farmers and community gardeners. (Tentative Schedule)
1:30pm-2pm The Gwinnett County Extension will provide tips for new gardeners on how to prepare a garden for the growing season and what soil to use.
2pm-3pm Anne-Marie Bilella with Bella Vista Farm will take visitors outside on a wild edible and medicinal plant hike around the EHC forest and will share information on how to grow these useful plants at home.
3pm-4pm Pilar Quintero from Rancho Alegre, a Dacula based farm, will share the story of her agricultural enterprise, which includes a small dairy operation, chickens, hogs and sheep.
4pm-4:30pm Victor Gann of Blacksmith Farms in Lawrenceville will give a presentation on the financial and health benefits of growing your own food.
Ned Jung of J&J Culinary Sensations will prepare delicious food for sale using organic, locally grown products.
Our Daily Bread will give on-site demonstrations of grinding grain into flour and will have its flour, breads and fresh preserves for sale.
Other festival participants include beekeepers (Dances with Bees; Gwinnett County Beekeepers), Heirloom Living Market, and Golden Farms. Honey, beeswax products, vegetables, herbs, breads, eggs and other products will also be available for purchase.
The festival includes activities for the “wee” gardeners. Golden Farms will bring live chickens, including baby chicks, to the campus for visitors to enjoy. Chicken and bee crafts, seed planting, face painting and worm composting discoveries will excite children to dig in the dirt as temperatures get warmer. The EHC will also offer special children’s gardening classes from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. for ages 5 to 12
Know where your food comes from and support your community and the Earth at the same time. Program fees for the event are $5 for ages 13 and older, $3 for ages 3 to 12 and free for children two and younger and EHC members. For more information and the schedule of speaker sessions and events, visit www.gwinnettEHC.org.

BUY LOCAL ~ Know your Farmer!
Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: Locally Grown - Availability for March 25 , 2015
Hey Local Food Lovers,
Well it’s getting to be that time of year, where each week is a little more exciting than the week before due to new items coming back onto the market.
Before I get into some of the great products this week, I want to mention some of the new features to Locally Grown you’ll probably notice us rolling out over the coming months. Hopefully most or all of you received a new e-mail reminder on Friday letting you know that the market is open. You may have noticed that the e-mail design, as well as all the great photos of farmers, products, and links to calendar events like our Farm Tour all look REALLY GOOD! Big thanks to Andrew Linker, our Gainesville Market Manager for the incredible work he’s put in the last several months to improve some of our communication tools, our logo (we have a new logo!), and our FEATURED FARMER calendar. This last one we’re especially excited about as we really want to brag on the impressive farmers that we have here in our region. We’ve struggled with how to do that in the past, but each month this year NGLG will feature a farm or two to help you get to know the farms behind your food. We want you to know these good folks by name, recognize their faces, and have a story to tell about what makes them special.
The Lazy L Ranch up in Rabun County is run by Daphne & Bill Lisenby, one of the newer pastured egg producers in the area. I think you’ll all be struck by the beauty of the view these chickens rise to each morning. Just picture that each morning that you fry up these eggs and you’ll have a beautiful start to your day. Part of the goal of Featured Farmers is for you to get to meet and interact with them directly. This Wednesday, Daphne and Bill will be in Gainesville during the pickup to talk with folks about their farm, their practices, their favorite stories and recipes.
Andrew shot this great video of Lazy L Ranch this winter that really captures the unique feel of the season.
https://vimeo.com/120698431
Thanks to the Lisenby’s for their participation in NGLG and for being our first official Featured Farm in 2015!
In other egg news, Sylvan Falls Mills Chocolate Marshmellow Eggs are back! Many of you have heard me brag on these before. Probably my favorite holiday item on the entire market. It’s a reminder that Easter is almost here. And it’ll be gone before you know it. I highly encourage you to try these while you can.
We also have a few specials on eggs bought in bulk this week. So as you’re gearing up for EASTER eggs, think about getting several local dozen at once. And if anyone cooks up a really beautiful Frittatta anytime soon, send us a snapshot and your recipes.
Other items of note this week. Shade Creek Farms has brought back their gorgeous mixed baby carrots. Simply beautiful array of sweet, delicious carrots. They also have strawberry plants for those who would like to grow their own strawberries. And Hakurei Turnips! A favorite.
Veggie Patch has brought on one of my favorite odd vegetables. The kohlrabi. Looks like it’s from Mars, has all the nutrition of a cabbage, but can be substituted for potatoes in lots of dishes. Give it a try.
Leah Lake has Leeks! There’s also swiss Chard from Veggie Patch and Mountain Earth Farms.
Welcome back to Hollman who have a wide array of native plants for sale. Veggie Patch is also selling several dozen types of SEEDLING plants for your garden (don’t get confused these are plants to grow, not veggies to eat).
Then there’s spinach, spinach and more spinach! Don’t take it for granted. Once summer comes, spinach is gone. I always love a spinach salad with a sliced up hardboiled egg. Did anyone else’s mother always make spinach salad that way.
Well that should do it for this week. Put in your order (or an extra order if something we mentioned sounds good). Market is open until 9pm tonight. Help us achieve our highest March sales ever!
EAT WELL,
Justin, Chuck, Teri and Andrew
Tullahoma Locally Grown: Partners for Healing Fundraiser
The market is open!
Fuel So Good Coffee Roasters has a 1 lb Whole Bean “Healing Grounds” for Partners for Healing. $5 per purchase is donated directly to Partners for Healing, a Tullahoma not-for-profit providing health services to uninsured in Coffee, Franklin and Moore Counties. We source only Fair Trade Organic (FTO) green coffee beans. This means many things to the consumer (you), the coffee farmer and us as a responsible business.
Reminder that Casey Farm is back on the market with milk. Solace Farm has duck eggs and plenty of garlic powder. Frontier Family Farm has more broccoli florets this week. Deep-Set farm has plenty of watercress!
From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Spring has come on with such a rush that this will be the last week for daffodil bouquets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. We also have several beautiful succulent planters which will be a great table or desk decoration or Easter gift. They can also be moved outside for the frost-free time, from early May until October. What wonderful, cheerful gifts for a friend, or for yourself! Thank you so much.
The market is open Saturday at noon to Wednesday at noon, pickup is Thursday 4:15-6.
Get started here: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market
