Ingredients:
- Slices of whole-grain bread
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 oz of broccoli microgreens
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

3. Spread on Toast: Spread the avocado mixture evenly over your toasted bread slices.

This recipe is quick to prepare and takes full advantage of the nutritional benefits of broccoli microgreens, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Enjoy!

Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This farmers market allows you to preorder directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!

PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.

If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, your order may NOT be complete. Head back to the market page, and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.

Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes.

Thanks for supporting local farmers!

Our last order cycle of the year starts TODAY

What a Year

Is it the (almost end) of December already?

It hardly seems possible but here we are, the last M@D order cycle of 2024. I want to personally thank both vendors and customers who have stuck with us through this challenging year. With all the ups and down, people coming and people going it’s been a wild ride, but like a cowboy staying on a bucking bronco, we’re still here.

So

THANK YOU.

It is still our great joy to serve you all and we look forward to doing so again next year.

See you Friday!

Ros Horton
Market Manager

We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
