A big ole' thanks from all of us at the farm for coming out and visiting with us last week at the Snellville Farmers Market. It was a bit hot toward the end of the market, and we were all so discombobulated in our final prep and loading efforts to get to the market that we left the fans behind. Not gonna happen again.
The activities on the farm this week have left us hot and sweating, but we are bringing our best and fresh farm products to the market again this Saturday. Mix in some rain showers with our impression of a Creek Indian rain dance and it worked like it was drawn on the blackboard. Oh yeah, we just started pickin our blackberries this week and hope to have our romaine back at the market as well.
We did share two stories this week about life in the wiregrass country of South Georgia. Looking back, those youthful days of carefree shenanigans as a up and growing young man were certainly picturesque and full of life's lessons. In particular there is a tale about my dad who was a great inspiration and did his best to keep his brood focused and as he would say - you got to keep your nose to the grindstone to be successful. Took me a while to understand that one, as the first impression was it sounded painful.
For those who visit the Snellville Farmers Market, we will be at the market this coming Saturday June 6th, the market will be on the green in front of city hall from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
As basic information, our produce that is brought to the market is picked on Thursday and Friday of each week, kept fresh and cool, and brought to the markets for the weekend.
If you are unable to attend the market and wish to place an order, you can either email your order [email protected]; or text your order to - phone: 678-481-9246. Once the order is placed, we will contact you to provide directions to the farm and to arrange a day and time over the weekend that works for you to pick up your order.
Payment for orders can be made in the form of Zelle, Square (debit or credit - contactless and chip), Cash App, check and cash.
So, come on down to the market, visit, and stay awhile. We may even entertain with a joke or two or tell a wild story from the follies of youth.
