The Weblog

Welcome to the Carolina Foothills Locally Grown weblog. Mainly this is a collection of e-mails that we send out each week to kick off the market, but also tells the tale of our little market.

Growers/producers may list their available products at any time now. To be available for each weeks market they must be posted no later than 8:00pm on Friday.

The site will be opened for shopping Friday evening at 9:00pm and remain open for shopping until 4 pm Monday afternoon.

Growers will drop-off their orders from 3:30 to 4:00 pm Tuesday & Wednesday. Customers can pick-up their products from 4:30 to 6:30 pm Tuesday and Wednesday (depending on pick up site).

Customers and growers please double check your drop-off and pick-up locations. Customers, you can specify your pick-up location when you order.

“The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life.”

Wendell Berry,
The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture

The Giggle Farm.
GMO -Free Rabbit Meat
I ordered the weight of my choice exquisite GMO Free Rabbit Meat. I cut it into smaller pieces and marinated it overnight in a lemon ginger garlic scape sauce I concocted and put it on the grill. Wow! Very good! And no it doesn’t taste like chicken. It has a mild flavor only rabbits have. You must try it! And these farmers are Awesome!

Remember we open this evening after 8 pm. We have several farmers on vacation and some of us will add more products after our Friday Markets.

We have a new pick up spot for our Pickens /Easley folks at the YMCA Pickens on Tuesdays 4:15-6:15. So don’t hesitate to Order!

Eat well!
