If you know, you know. is one of those fish seafood lovers get excited about — prized for its mild, sweet flavor, firm yet flaky texture, and beautiful clean taste. It’s a favorite among chefs because it can be prepared simply and still absolutely shine.

We’re thrilled to have this special catch available tomorrow alongside the rest of our market offerings: fresh fish, our organically fed eggs, seasonal produce from our aquaponics system, and beautiful organic vegetables/flowers from

Thank you for your patience as we took the last few off for a push of early summer weddings that we can’t wait to share. But we have been missing our farmers market roots and can’t wait to see your shining faces!

Hurricane season is officially here. The storms are part of life in coastal Georgia. The pines bend and we have been blessed that our home has held.

What we fear is a water table that can feel like it wants to swallow us whole: a bad rain fall that flows from some areas and inundates another. So when the rain is gone, the water creeps in and swells, and doesn’t go away.

Our beloved farm definitely needs a land rework within the context of our own 5 acres. We are hoping the work GDOT has done on our highway will alleviate the overwhelming amount of water we take on.

We are super excited to announce the stars have aligned and we were able to score at 1965 Case 580 Backhoe off Facebook marketplace. She’s no frills, she is loud, and she is old. But she hums like my Grandpas old truck and is ready to work. We cannot control mother nature, but we can respect and prepare for her as much as possible.

The Garden has spoken! It’s formally Summer in the South…

This week’s stars of the farm are:

💜 Passion Flower (aka “Maypop” to us Southerners) — one of the most fascinating native plants around. These whimsical blooms don’t just look otherworldly; they’re an important food source for pollinators and eventually produce delicious tropical-tasting fruit.

🌸 Dahlias — bold, beautiful, and showing off as only dahlias can. These blooms wait patiently through spring and then absolutely steal the show once the heat settles in.

🌶️ Pepperoncinis — crisp, tangy, and thriving in our summer sunshine. Whether you’re tossing them on a sandwich, chopping them into a salad, or pickling them for later, they’re a perfect reminder of why eating seasonally tastes so good.

One of the greatest gifts of eating with the seasons is that nature does all the planning for us. When we choose what’s fresh and local, we’re enjoying produce at its peak flavor, supporting local farms, and staying connected to the rhythms of the land that feeds us.

Summer isn’t about finding strawberries in December or pumpkins in May—it’s about celebrating what’s thriving right now. It’s passion flowers climbing fences, dahlias bursting into bloom, peppers soaking up the sunshine, and gathering around tables filled with food grown close to home.

As we welcome the start of another Southern summer, we hope you’ll slow down when you can, enjoy the longer days, support your local farmers, and savor all the incredible things growing around us. Stay cool. Stay safe. Drink your water. Check on your neighbors. Take care of one another.

Happy Summer from Billy’s Botanicals & Fam🌻☀️💚

are here, and we’re bagging up for and our veg bag subscribers.

These curly, twisting shoots are the flowering stems of hardneck garlic, harvested early so the plant can put all its energy back into growing beautiful bulbs underground. They’ve got a fresh, mild garlic flavor somewhere between garlic, scallions, and spring onions — perfect for pesto, grilling, roasting, pickling, or tossing into just about anything savory.

We also love them for how wonderfully strange they are. Their wild curves and sculptural lines lend themselves so well to unique and structured floral design. We thank our resident florist, for sparing a few for the market table. As you can see, our beautiful neice was carrying around a nice bundle of bouncy scapes in her wedding bouquet.

At Billys Botanicals, we’ve always believed there’s something special about growing things that nourish both the table and the soul — beautiful things to eat, and beautiful things to look at, all from the same earth. Come see us at as we have so many beautiful, edible things!

Our aquaponic greenhouse is in a strong production cycle right now, with multiple varieties of lettuce, leafy greens, and culinary herbs rotating through the system.

Aquaponics functions as a closed-loop system where fish-derived nutrients are converted by nitrifying bacteria into plant-available forms of nitrogen. This allows for continuous plant growth in water rather than soil, with minimal external inputs and efficient resource use. The system operates using organic, all-natural processes, supporting a sustainable method of food production without synthetic fertilizers.

The result is a steady, predictable rotation of greens and herbs for our restaurant, market, and Billys Bag customers.

fam — we’re on our way but running a little behind this morning!

Billy had a tire blowout on the trailer en route (because of course he did), but he also pulled an all-nighter getting everything ready for you — including some gorgeous fresh snapper that was processed just hours ago.

We’re still headed to Market with all the good stuff:
✨ peak-season flowers
🌿 fresh herbs + farm goods
🧂 salt bombs (back in stock!)
🦀 the very last softshell crab of the year

We promise it’ll be worth the wait — just give us a little grace while we get set up. We expect to be set up by 9:30💛

It’s that time of year yall! Come and get them at Soft shell crabs aren’t a different species—they’re Georgia blue crabs that have recently molted. For a brief window, their shells are tender enough to eat whole, which is why you get that perfect combination of crisp exterior and rich, almost buttery interior.

It can be an intimidating ingredient to work with initially, but a light batter and fry makes the perfect meal. If you prefer to leave it up to the experts, Chef at is plating them up this weekend (pictured).

On the subject of local seafood, we are unfortunately out of shrimp. They are out sh*****ng, but as with all things food, success is never guaranteed. We hope to have more next week.
