Weather forecasters have spent this week warning us about fierce storms coming our way this evening and overnight into tomorrow morning. If the weather is as bad as they say it will be, our area will encounter power outages. Please place your Wednesday Market order as soon as possible, before the power goes off. As we know from previous experience, it may take many hours or even days for the utility companies to restore power.
Emergency Management Agency officials are encouraging everyone to prepare today for tonight’s weather. Secure trash cans, yard furniture, trampolines – anything that can become airborne during high winds. Identify a “safe place” within your home – a first floor hallway, an interior room away from windows, or the basement – where you can go to shelter. Make sure your cell phone is fully charged and that you have a way to receive weather alerts. Have flashlights, extra batteries, and water available.

Tonight is “change the clocks” forward night, when we adjust to Daylight Saving Time. While losing an hour of sleep is disorienting for us during the short term, my family and I enjoy the “extra” light at the end of the day.
Thank you for your supporting Georgia Grown. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,

Goodness gracious, what happened to our weather? Well, those silly ground hogs, the one in Pennsylvania and our local one over at Dauset Trails, both predicted 6 more weeks of winter. And, here we are. A dreary, drippy, cold Saturday. It’s just unfair, after having experienced a couple of gorgeous, warm, sunny days earlier this week! In all seriousness, though, we should prepare now for potentially bad weather headed our way in the early hours tomorrow morning. Thunderstorms with strong gusty winds are predicted.
Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. Stay safe, and we’ll see you at the Market.

This week The Wednesday Market celebrated our 14th anniversary!
On January 26, 2011, The Wednesday Market in Zebulon opened to serve Pike County and neighboring communities. From the beginning of our creation, our purpose was to provide the freshest, locally grown produce, fruit and good food available.
We believe that small, diverse, family-owned farms contribute to society’s overall health, and the reasons for buying locally are even more relevant today than they were 14 years ago. By supporting The Wednesday Market, you:
Enhance your local economy – By purchasing produce and other items from local growers you are providing stability to your local economy through the support of local businesses.
Save natural resources – Buying locally makes you an invaluable link in the process of saving resources such as fossil fuels and packaging materials. Also, we are right here in your community, so the expense of transportation and delivery is kept to a minimum.
Provide learning opportunities – Locally Grown supporters provide member growers the means to help educate our community about the importance of sustainable agriculture.
Support a way of life – The number of small farms in the United States has decreased dramatically in the last decade. Please help us preserve an honest and worthy means of making a living.
Let us support our local agricultural economy. Buy from local farmers and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so, too. Consider planting your own gardens and sharing the bounty with others. Tell everyone you know that you order from The Wednesday Market. Help us attract more producers to sell through us.
The Wednesday Market managers are volunteers, as we have been from day one. Without our teamwork and dedication, the Market simply would not happen. A few of us have “retired”, but our founders’ vision persists today.
Whether you are a brand new customer or have been with us from the beginning, thank you for supporting The Wednesday Market and Georgia Grown. It is a pleasure to serve you!

How did you like getting snow for the second time in two weeks? Pike County Schools have been closed all week, and many businesses shortened their hours or did not open for a couple of days. All is well in our old house – no frozen pipes or HVAC breakdowns. Our teenage son Charlie was delighted that enough snow fell for him to play in. He’s been waiting for it his whole life!
I saw on the news this morning an interview with Tyler Harper, Georgia’s commissioner of agriculture. He said that the cold weather we have experienced lately should not affect peaches and blueberries crops this summer because it is so early in the season that trees have not yet developed buds.
My mother’s camellia, which had started blooming, was not so lucky. The blooms turned black and the buds not yet opened have fallen off. The tree is just not hardy enough to stand temperatures below 25 degrees! Oh well, there’s always next year to look forward to.
Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. We’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
