Thanksgiving Market Date


Hi Wednesday Marketers!
We are closing in on Thanksgiving! In order to let you order things in time for Turkey day we will hold next weeks Thanksgiving Market on Tuesday November 26th instead of Wednesday. Ordering online will be this Saturday and Sunday the 23rd and 24th so that it allows the growers time to pick the vegetables, gather the eggs, milk the cows and bake the cakes you order. Pick up will be
2;00 – 4:00 pm on Tuesday the 26th.
Also, The Good Shepherd Family Farm is now offering Raw Milk in 1/2 gallons for $5.00;-) this compares with organic milk 1/2 gallons in the grocery store!
We hope you all have a blessed holiday and a wonderful day with your families. Thanks for shopping with us!

Order Now; Start Planning for Thanksgiving


Good evening.

The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 2 and 4 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market

Please note the shift in our pick up times – between 2 and 4 p.m. Since the switch back to Eastern Standard Time, it gets dark before 6 p.m. For the safety of our volunteers and customers, we would like to get finished at the Market before dark.

Please start making your plans for Thanksgiving, and consider ordering from our producers. You may want to order early to make sure you get what you need for your special celebration.

Here is a note from Terry Helms at Top Shelf: “I will be out of town next week, Nov. 11th, 12th, and 13th. I will be back open the week of Nov. 20th but will be out of town Thanksgiving week. If you think you are going to want anything for Thanksgiving please make sure you get your order in for the 20th. I can go ahead and freeze it for you if you like, just let me know. I can also pre-cook it for you to cut down your time Thanksgiving day; then, you only have to heat it up. Either way is fine. All you will need to do is put it in the fridge on Nov. 26th to thaw and it will be ready to cook on the 28th. Thank you so much for all your support and hope everyone has an awesome family holiday.”

Be sure to check out our new vendors. Thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture and for buying locally. We hope you have a great weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market.

Thanks,

Beverly

Change in Market Hours and a Change in Our Business Plan


Hi Wednesday Market fans!

We have a couple of Wednesday Market announcements: First, Starting with the November 6th Market, we will be opening earlier and closing earlier due to issues with darkness and travel for the Market Volunteers caused by the end of Daylight Savings Time for the winter. We will open at 2;00 p.m. for pick-up and close at 4;00 p.m. Being alone in the building after dark and driving in the dark are safety issues for the volunteers. We hope that this does not inconvenience any customers. If you find that you are not able to pick up your order between 2;00pm and 4:00 pm on Wednesdays please let us know. (Our cell phone numbers are listed below) We can discuss alternate pick up methods that will fit your needs. The second announcement concerns a change in our business plan. So many of you want to see more locally grown vegetables. Believe it, we do too! However we have had quite a bit of difficulty finding farmers and even large gardeners that are not selling most of their farms production at Farmer’s Markets in Peachtree City, Sun City, Atlanta, etc. where the population and the demand is much higher. I can’t blame them, it’s their livelihood at stake! But a Market thrives on variety. So, we have expanded the borders of our business plan to include ALL Georgia Grown fruits and vegetables not just the Pike County area. Check out our new vendors and see what is offered. Last week was a big hit! Join us! And thanks for being a Wednesday Market customer.
