SPECIAL OPEN HOUSE ANNOUNCEMENT
We here at M@D have supported causes and done fundraisers before, and this week for Open House we’re doing it again, albeit a bit differently. A representative from Fostering Hope. will be present to share information about the many ways they help children and families in the Wiregrass.
Fostering Hope’s mission statement is . . . to support, encourage & assist foster families and children of the Wiregrass. We want them to be well loved and supported by the community and the Church as a whole.
Foster Care and Adoption is near and dear to the folks at Hortons Farm and this week they’re partnering with Fostering Hope to give a portion of all honey sold at Open House to this fine organization. There will be plenty on hand and we hope everyone will plan to stock up!
Fostering Hope has furnished us with a list of current needs. If you would like to help with any of the following please bring them to the Hortons Farm/Fostering Hope tent on Thursday. Your tax deductable gift will go toward helping a foster/adopting family and children starting a new life.
*Laundry Soap *Infant Laundry Soap *Quart Zip Lock Bags *Small Hangers of all Types *3# size diapersTHIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
AVALON FARMS: World Naked Gardening Day! Nope, Avalon Farms did not participate yet again. LOL You gotta be kidding me!
Following my foot surgery last week, I’ve had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with my kids and their spouses. They were wonderful helpers and kept the farm alive…and took great care of me! “We” harvested and prepared your orders. Things weren’t done quite the way “I” do them, but “we” got it done. If you happened to have any issues with your produce, please just let me know and I’ll get it fixed. ??
One of the things that “we” did not get done was keep the sugar snaps picked. Once they start maturing they have to be picked or the pods get over mature and lose their sweetness, BUT they still have tasty little peas in them! So this week I’ll be offering SHELLED sugar snap peas.
English Peas are starting to fill out!!! They are such lush healthy plants! It’s so exciting and gratifying when something grows so well. (God’s grace, obviously)
HORTONS FARM “Ditto What She Said”
We did not observe what has come to be known as WNGD either and have made it a point to stay away from websites and social media where it has been celebrated. We did however bump into a list of gardening activities NOT recommended for the first Saturday of every May .
1. Plant Roses
2. Re-pot Cacti
3. Use a Weed Eater or other Power Tools
4. Squat in the bushes
5. Sit on the ground
6. Any type of pruning.

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: MARKET IS OPEN FOR ORDERS!
Good Evening Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!
Go to the market >>
Fresh Vegetables
Clean Meats
Baked Goods with Organic ingredients
Pastured Eggs
See all products
Market stays open from Fridays 9 p.m. until at least 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.
If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in 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 or call Andrew at 770.530.3287
