United States Virgin Islands: V.I. Locally Grown Market: Week of August 24, 2014
Good Morning!
Your Locally Grown market is open and accepting orders! We’re offering beautiful fresh basil of a few varieties: Purple basil, which is an Italian Genovese type good for pesto and Italian dishes, Thai basil – great for stir-fries, and Holy Basil, an Ayurvedic herb that makes a delicious and healthful tea and is also used in southeast Asian cuisine.
This is the height of avocado season! Place an order for these creamy, rich, versatile fruits and make guacamole and dips; add slices to sandwiches and soups, even blend into smoothies and delicious raw desserts. You can stock up and freeze ripe avocado pulp mashed with lime juice for future enjoyment.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
With warm wishes,
Emma Haynes & your Locally Grown producers
Gwinnett Locally Grown: Market is open for ordering
The Market is open Thursday Noon – Monday 9:00 a.m. After that, ordering is disabled until Thursday noon-ish. Pick up your order Tuesday 4:30-6:30 p.m. only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here.
MARKET NEWS – REMINDERS AND SOME COUNTRY STORE NEWS!
Remember: market hours are only 4:30 to 6:30 – producers are delivering up to 4:30 and I close the doors at 6:30. I will try to send out Tuesday market reminders early in the day but I might not always get to, so don’t rely solely on me. Thanks for your kind attention to this matter :-)
Also, we know that everyone gets busy and occasionally has to send someone else to pick up their order for them. We ourselves had a substitute out working the market this week. If you do send someone in your place, please verify with them that they have your complete order before they leave the farm.
Be on the lookout for laundry soap in the country store this week, and also for some exciting changes with the way the store looks. We’ve got plans for some great new furniture and shelving and things! Be sure and tell us what you think.

My best to all -
Shop often and eat well!

South Cumberland Food Hub: Asian Pears!
Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub.
Asian pears are in from Crow Mountain Orchard this week. I love these fruits! They are crunchy and sweet, and they are good keepers.

New Field Farm's Online Market: What's new
Greetings,
It seems like a sense of fall has come early this year which is a little curious, but the cooler weather makes it especially nice to be working in the field and there’s still all the beauty of summer so no complaints.
We’ve added field tomatoes for $3.00/lb. and the greenhouse ones are now the same price.
Also added are the* Russian Banana fingerling* potatoes and the Yellow Finn potatoes.
Green beans are over until the next planting.
Broccoli heads are starting to form and the cabbages are also beginning to head up. Spinach and baby bok choy have sprouted and will be ready next month.
Seeding and planting are almost over, but there’s still a tremendous amount to harvest for many weeks to come.
Thank you for your orders.
Enjoy,
Tim
