Take me to the Market.
Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The on-line market is open for ordering.
We have some wonderful bakers on our market. Riversong Bakery is a treasure from another time and place. Sara bakes from recipes of her Mother and Grandmother using the fresh and healthful ingredients of today. If you are looking for a special treat to go with a cup of coffee, tea or fresh milk, try the fig bars or Blueberry Walnut Cobbler.
Cedar Rock Dairy has the best milk, for pet consumption only. If you are looking for buttermilk, please add a message to your order of how many half gallons you want. We cannot list it on the market due to regulatory constraints.
We have a fresh order of cheese in from Meadow Valley Farm. Mozzarella, tomato, Basil and balsamic Vinegar can’t be beat!
Thank you for supporting your local farmers. If you don’t, who will?
Blessings,
Mary Beth
CLG: Opening Bell: New farmhand!
Good afternoon,
At 12:21am on Saturday July 11th, Steve and Carissa welcomed their new farmhand (grandson) into the world. Foster Ray Beagley was born in Augusta, Georgia. He is 17.5 inches and 5 pounds and should be discharged Monday morning. Pictures available upon request. :-)
Well, we knew it was coming, and now the heat of summer is here! Be sure to stay hydrated when you’re outside, and plan outdoor activities for early morning or evening when it’s not too hot. Make some frozen smoothies using cantaloupe, peaches, watermelon, or other frozen fruit. Or how about some iced tea with mint leaves? Whatever you decide, try to add some local produce to your cooling beverages.
Note from Hardin Farms: We apologize profusely for the mixup at Conway on Friday. Several days of working 18-20 hours finally caught up to us and we loaded up the wrong invoice for CLG. After all the rain, and now heat, our crops are maturing earlier than planned, which will shorten the season for corn. We greatly appreciate your understanding and patience.
Note from Barnhill Orchards: We are offering ingredients for a peach salsa, a garden veggie salsa, and a tomato salsa. We will also be offering fresh cut Zennia bouquets of various colors.
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table.
The market is now OPEN for orders. Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!
Steve
