This Week's Market Highlights
Dawson Local Harvest for June 30th
This Week’s Market Highlights
HI EVERYBODY!
Hope you’ve been enjoying the unusually cool temperatures. We all know this can’t last! Oh well, on to the News:
CULTURAL TRADITIONS has added new products. First up, Awesome Sauce, a thick, somewhat chunky, spicy Kimchi derivative that is great on rice, meat and eggs or as a soup base. Next, Tanya’s Cucumber Kimchi uses cucumbers instead of cabbage and radishes. Both of her Kinchis feature organic scallions, garlic, apples and more. Finally, how about Kraut Kvass, aka Kraut Juice using cabbage and apples instead of beets as a base. Hey, there’s a whole world of new taste experiences out there. Open your palette to new experiences with CULTURAL TRADITIONS.
DON’T FORGET! BRADLEY’S has Bees, and that means local Wildflower Honey! It not only tastes great but helps inoculate you and yours with local allergens to reduce hay fever, congestion and allergies. And it’s a healthier alternative to sugar. In The Market’s Honey section.
CLUTEN-FREE CAN BE DELICIOUS! We are so lucky to have MY DAILY BREAD as our baker. They do great Gluten-Free.
Suggestions: Glorious Morning Muffins (apples, carrots, coconut and walnuts), Brownies and Cheesecake Brownies. They have more at different times of the year as well as lots of Organics, and just a lot of scrumptious Breads, Cookies, Muffins, and Desserts. In the Baked Goods section.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
We 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! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
Have a happy and healthy week!

Get Your Juicer Ready! Big Carrot Sale!
Dawson Harvest for June 23es
Get Your Juicer Ready! Big Carrot Sale!
HI EVERYBODY!
We’re at that point approaching Summer where it gets too hot for cool-weather Vegetables. The Good News for You is we had to pick all of those veggies, including Carrots! LEILANI’S has put all the Carrots ON SALE for just $2.50 a pound. Here’s your opportunity to stock up and make lots of delicious and nutritious Carrot Juice.
Have you had a chance to try some of the great new products from CULTURAL TRADITIONS? I tried their Carrot-Ginger Jun and it is excellent. Jun is a type of komboucha, but Tanya makes hers with fermented green-tea and honey instead of black-tea and sugar. It’s very hard to describe, but quite interesting and refreshing, and it’s very good for you as well. Give it a try; it’s in the Fermented/Probiotic Products section.
Last week I mentioned SHADY ACRES FARM as a new vendor to The Market. They give us an additional resource for free-range chemical-free non-GMO Eggs. They’ll also contribute more and different varieties of all-natural Fruit and Vegetables to The Market as we get into July. Welcome, SHADY ACRES.
Don’t forget FIVE HENS FARMS has once again added Bone-in Pork Chops to their listings in Meats.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

FARM TOUR at Leilani's and Tons of Produce!
Dawson Local Harvest for June 16th
FARM TOUR at Leilani’s This Saturday!
Tomatoes and Tons of Produce!
HI EVERYBODY
See how a small Certified Natural Farm works, how we grow, fertilize, control pests, pick and process great-tasting Produce all completely natural, local, and sustainable. Leilani’s FARM TOUR is an unguided tour, but Leilani, Casey (our farm manager) and others will be here to give quick presentations and answer all your questions on every aspect of how we do things. Wander and visit the Greenhouse, 3 coldframes, raised beds and boxes, the field and the berry patches. Healthy (and tasty) refreshments will be served. Hear ideas you can use in your own garden, learn how “natural and organic” fit into the scheme of things, or just let your kids burn off a lot of energy (it’s educational for them too, and they’ll never suspect it!).
It all starts at 10 am, there’s no admission but RSVP to leilani1959@windstream.net appreciated.
If you love a great diversity of Vegetables you have to love this time of year! LEILANI’S Tomatoes are coming in, there’s “warm-weather” Cucumbers and Squash but also lots of “cool-weather” veggies like Kale, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Cabbage, Collards, baby Carrots, baby Leeks, and the last of this season’s Lettuce, and maybe one or two others will sneak in, who knows? It’s a rare opportunity at so much variety, so don’t miss out! Order Now to ensure you get what you want!
We’d like to welcome a new vendor to The Market, SHADY ACRES FARM. They should be an excellent fit as they’ll grow some different Vegetables and Fruit and have Eggs and some other Products that will give you even more choices from The Market!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.

Glorious Tomatoes and Cultural Traditions
Dawson Local Harvest for June 9th
Glorious Tomatoes and Cultural Traditions
HI EVERYBODY!
It’s June now, and June at LEILANI’S is Tomato season! Impossible, you say? Not if you start seeds in your greenhouse in February. Every year LEILANI’S has Tomatoes a month before everyone else, So, Glorious natural locally-grown vine-ripened Tomatoes are yours just for the ordering!
AND THERE’S MORE! Cucumbers, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Kales and Lettuces, and Baby Leeks join a full roster of other Vegetables on The Market this week. If you are a Vegetable Lover (and you must be if you’re on this site) it’s not often we get to see such abundant diversity. Take advantage of this opportunity, get some great vittles, and dig in!
Speaking of great vittles we’d like to welcome a new Vendor this week. CULTURAL TRADITIONS offers hard-to-find varieties of authentic Russian and European Favorites. Tanya uses centuries-old fermentation recipes that are probiotically active, so they’re not only good, they’re good for you! CT has several flavors of Jun (a fermented green tea and honey beverage with ingredients like ginger, carrots, beets, pineapple, etc.), a variety of different Sauerkrauts (how about Horseradish Beet?), and other intriguing products. They are a great (and healthy) way to add some new tastes to your diet. Check them out in the Fermented/Probiotic Products section of The Market listings.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.

Tomatoes, Yes, and Broccoli, Cauliflower and more!
Dawson Local Harvest for June 2nd
Tomatoes, Yes, and Broccoli, Cauliflower, and More!
HI EVERYBODY!
What time is it, kids? It’s TOMATO TIME! Okay, that’s a little overboard, but LEILANI’S does in fact have the very first Tomatoes of the year on The Market. These are early varieties, mostly hybrids, but vine-ripened and tasty (in the interest of science I volunteered to make sure the very first ones were "safe’ for our customer’s consumption. No sacrifice is too good for our people!).
Also new to The Market this week is Yellow Squash, Cucumbers, and Cauliflower, plus Spinach and Collards have rejoined the Vegetable Listings, and Broccoli heads, Leeks, Carrots, Kales, and Lettuces are all available, and there’s even more but I’m getting tired of typing!
Check out all the great Veggies available on The Market This Week!
Glad to have FIVE HENS FARMS back with excellent Eggs and their yummy Breakfast Sausage once again in the Listings. Don’t forget Organic Breads and Gluten-free Desserts from MY DAILY BREAD, BRADLEY’s local Wildflower Honey, Raw Milk from LITTLE BROWN COW, and all the other delicacies on your Dawson Local Harvest!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

Broccoli, Cultural Traditions, and More
Dawson Local Harvest for May 26th
Broccoli, Squash, Leeks, and More
HI EVERYBODY
BIG DOIN’s IN PRODUCE: If you are one of those who thinks fresh Broccoli is a wonder of the world, you’re in luck! The first few heads of LEILANI’S spring Broccoli is ready, though this week just enough for 2 or 3 orders. Next week it will be coming in strong! Yellow Squash is starting to come in (2-3 orders), and a few Leeks are also ready. Check the Vegetable section of The Market and get your order in early!
TOMATO WATCH 2017: The great news, LEILANI’S harvested their first juicy red Tomatoes of 2017. The bad? It was one 6 oz. and one 3 oz. Tomato! BUT do not despair, there’s lots of big green tomatoes out on the vines and we may have enough for 3 or 4 orders in two weeks, weather depending. We’ll certainly keep you posted.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
