What’s up with the Salmon?
Back in Time Farm will be supplying Alaskan Wild Caught salmon through his son, Running Wild Alaskan Seafood, LLC.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
We are within a week or so of having this salmon at our very own market!The packages will be 8 ounces and sell for $9.50 a pack.
I have emailed all those interested that emailed me and I will be making sure that when they place their orders, they have priority. But there will be enough for Market sales. This will be the first catch and then we are hoping for a second catch 3 weeks later, but that isn’t guaranteed yet.
So watch for the email to buy coming in about a week or two.
As Always….
Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living.
Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!
If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your input!
Remember…
The Market is extending their hours! The Market will now be open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!
Having said that, if you place an order with us, PLEASE remember to pick it up on Tuesday. As I am so grateful for your orders, I also have a family at home waiting on me too! We cannot hold orders, especially cold items due to limited refrigeration space, so please be courteous and come for your order.

Thanks for all your support!

The Market Is Open!!
Good evening!
We hope everyone had a good week. We are so thankful for all the regular customers and new ones coming who are choosing to support local farmers and artisans! THANK YOU!
What an awesome break in the weather, just in time for July 4! Stock up on all your meats, milk, pastas and sauces, veg, eggs, baking extracts and more for your gatherings!
Botanical Harmony Farm says “We have several new liquid soap scents in stock and watch for new herbal remedies coming soon due to plants coming into season and ready to lend their plant goodness to soaps, salves, balms, ear oils, serums, muscle rubs and more! Some of our old favorites of bar soap are curing and will be ready next week!”
_ Linda From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse says:
Thankfully the weather will be a bit cooler this coming week, and along with some much-needed rain, will make very good planting conditions. We have added several new plants to the market, with more to come. Our herb and perennial plants are looking very good, and would really help to dress up your garden before your July 4th celebrations. Especially nice right now are rosemary, several varieties of lavender, and all the thymes, mints, and basils. Foliage of artemisia, santolina, and euonymous; and blooms of several asters, balloon flower, coneflowers, late daylilies, and gauras will brighten your garden. We still have several very nice hanging baskets for your porch or patio, as well as ferns for the shady areas. We still have a very few tomato plants for a late garden. How about a very nice basket of potted herbs as a hostess gift for a July 4th gathering? If you are looking for anything specific, drop us an email at tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com . We have not yet listed everything we have.
See y’all Thursday!

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Is Open
Good day to all of you. The market is open and ready for another weekly round of orders.
Late Friday afternoon, I took a group of kids (including mine) to the splash pad downtown for a bit of respite from the heat. However, the fun didn’t last long as a thunderstorm with high winds came upon us suddenly. We ran to a nearby shelter that overlooked the Arkansas river. The wind howled through trees and human-made sticks of metal, brick, and wood as it drove sheets of cold rain from the heavens through the air. The river seem to froth and clap into the air meeting the falling rain above the land. The air around us liquified into a torrent. It was breathtaking in its beauty and power. We’ve seen some dramatic displays of rain this season. The winds from Friday night took out the internet system at Christ Church and caused a bit of organizational mayhem during our pre-market period. No big deal. However, imagine if your livelihood was always exposed to those winds. Imagine what it would feel like when wind and rain threaten a greenhouse with months of preparation and future orders from restaurants and customers. Imagine a crop threatened by flood waters.
ALFN received a plea for help via our local restaurants for a shiitake farm in northwest Arkansas. The farm, Sweden Creek Farm, is a prominent producer of shiitake mushrooms. If you’ve had a mushroom burger from The Root, you’ve probably had a Sweden Creek shiitake. Sweden Creek was hit hard by recent flooding this month and are requesting help. Please take a moment and read a brief description from the grower:
We have had a rough few days here on Sweden Creek Farm. We had 7 inches of rain in about 3 hours on top of already-flooded and saturated soil on Monday night.
Each of our 4 farm families were separated by flood waters and unable to help each other and the 911 rescue team was unable to get anywhere near us since all of the bridges and roads were covered in raging waters – higher than it has ever flooded before. Miraculously we all had phone service and electric so we could keep in touch with each other all night.
The mobile home of one of our farm families was almost swept away in flood waters. A one hour break in the rain let the flood water go down about 2 1/2 – 3 feet and allowed our two workers to scramble their one year old, 6 year old and elderly mother safely to our shop at around 2:00 am Tuesday morning, about 1/4 mile away on our dirt driveway. All 3 of their vehicles were washed about 1/2 mile down the creek. We lost over 20,000 of our best logs in the floodwaters along with one of our trailers and an outhouse. Our spotlessly clean fields are now filled with boulders and rocks and most of our barbed wire fencing has been ripped out or down. One of our 5 ton air conditioners was in the water is no longer working. Our green houses were filled with mud and debris, causing green mold to begin growing on logs since they cannot be dried out. Our two foot-bridges were washed away, one landing in front of the mobile home, about a 1/4 mile away.
At this point we are all in shock but thankful that we are all safe and so thankful that our biggest tragedy is the loss of logs and not the loss of life. We are picking up the pieces – I was able to make this weeks delivery and we are making plans now on how to recover.
Local Little Rock restaurants are planning a fundraiser, but a GoFundMe site has already been established to help this family farm recover. Stay tuned for ways to help, but spread the word and share the link to their GoFundMe page.
Without the help of volunteers yesterday, the ALFN market would have been very chaotic. A local food economy is only robust as the community that supports it. Without the support of a larger community, it is too easy for the efforts of one to be washed down the river. Thank you for taking part in this emerging local food system in Little Rock and Arkansas.
