"I Don't Give a Fig!"
Dawson Local Harvest for August 5th
“I Don’t Give a Fig!”
But maybe you should. Two or Three, in fact!
HI EVERYONE!
All sorts of Fruits are coming in now. So why should you give a Fig? Because latest to join the fruit parade are Figs from MY BAILY BREAD. These are sweet and delicious Brown Turkey Figs, and if you’ve never had fresh-picked, right off a tree Figs you don’t know what you’ve been missing! They join Blueberries and the return of Blackberries to the Fruit section of The Market this week.
Tomatoes are Back after a short hiatus due to the difficult summer (too hot!). LEILANI’S has some tasty, very nice-sized Tomatoes for sandwiches, burgers, salads, and more. They join ‘Blue Lake’ Green Beans, Squash, various Zucchinis, Cucumbers, and other goodies. Find them in the Vegetable section.
Don’t forget great Gluten-free and organic Breads and Desserts from MY DAILY BREAD. We are really fortunate to have one of the premier bakers in our Market, so please look at their offerings in Baked Goods, Processed and Prepared Foods. There’s some wonderfully delicious treats to discover there!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

Mean Green Beans!
Dawson Local Harvest for July 29th
Mean Green Beans!
HI EVERYBODY!
It’s pretty hard to fix true fresh picked-from-the-garden Green Beans and make them taste bad. Sauteed’ in butter or a little olive oil and sea salt, as long as they’re tender they’re gonna taste good. But let’s be real, here. The proper way to fix Green Beans is southern style, cooked a couple of hours until all vitamins are removed! OK, here’s a pretty good compromise: snap your beans and put them in a pot of water. Mince a red jalapeno for the color and the warmth, or you can wuss out with a little red Bell. Add 1/4 minced onion or 1-3 cloves garlic. Skip the fatback and add a tablespoon of ham bouillon or to taste, and sea salt, and you’re done. Quicker, healthier, and very tasty. Get your fresh-picked Green Beans from LEILANI’S in the Vegetable section of The Market and fix yourself some Mean Green Beans!
Lots of good things on The Market this week, from Breads and Desserts to raw Milk, to free-range Pork and wild-caught Shrimp, to organic Berries and so much more, so take a good look at everything and reward your tastebuds!
THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

OOPS in the Bacon!
Oops on the Bacon
FIVE HENS FARMS just let me know that their Bacon is UNSLICED as well as uncured. You cure and cut it how you like. Just wanted to get it right for you.
Thanks

Pork and Beans (and lots more!)
Dawson Local Harvest for July 22nd
Pork and Beans (and lots more!)
HI EVERYONE!
Lots of News! First of al, Bacon is back! FIVE HENS FARMS has added their super-delicious sliced Bacon to the Meat Menu this week. That joins Breakfast and Italian Sausage, Pork Chops, and other items in the Meat section.
And what is Pork without Beans, although in this case I’m talking Green Beans from LEILANI’S GARDENS. These are our first Pole Beans for the season (awfully good with 5 HENS Fatback). They’ve also added Speckled green and Yellow Round Ball Zucchinis to the Vegetable section along with a colorful yellow “regular” Zucchini for casseroles and baked dishes. And don’t forget their Purple Cabbage for the tastiest and most colorful Coleslaw you’ve ever seen.
Also ORGANIC Blackberries and Blueberries from MY DAILY BREAD while they last!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

New Arrivals This Week
The Dawson Local Harvest for July 15th
New Arrivals This Week
HI EVERYONE!
Quick Update on the Market this week. Blueberries from BRAMBERI FARMS have joined their blackberry cousins in the Fruit listings, much to the delight of all you berry aficionados. I’m sure they’ll get gobbled up.
And for those of you who can’t conceive of a picnic or cookout without coleslaw, great news! LEILANI’S has Purple Cabbage, also called red cabbage by some, which makes for very colorful coleslaw, salads, and sauerkraut. Great taste and a nice crunch! They also finally have Heirloom Tomatoes available, still assorted because of small numbers of individual varieties, but those numbers should be increasing. Time to break out the white bread and mayo!
If you’ve never tried free-range Pork I can assure you the difference in taste is amazing. And it just so happens that FIVE HENS FARMS is adding freshly-processed Pork Chops to their listings in the Meats section. That’s good eating there!

Summertime is Just-Picked Produce Time!
Dawson Local Harvest for July 8th
Summertime is Just-Picked Produce Time!
HI EVERYONE!
Hope you’re enjoying a big 4th of July weekend! Also hope you’re enjoying the fabulous food that is available to you right now. So let me draw your attention to a couple of things.
First, Tomatoes. Got a decent supply now from LEILANI’S, even some heirlooms but not enough numbers to do single variety orders yet . . . maybe next week. Right now we’re selling them as Assorted mixed to get you the best ones. Look for them in the Vegetable section.
Next, Blackberries. From BRANBERI FARM and MY DAILY BREAD, both naturally grown without chemicals, etc. They won’t be around long so get them while you can.
How about Zucchini! It kind of snuck in under the radar last week, but they’re ready and waiting for you in The Market this week. The traditional long green Fordhook Zucchini is from FIVE HENS and LEILANI’S has the long yellow variety as well.. For something a little different check out the Round or 8-ball Zucchini. You can cut them in half and grill them with your ribs, steaks, etc. but try this instead. Bake 3-4 8-balls until partially done, cut in half, scoop out the middle and mix with cheddar cheese and onion, put the mix back in each half and finish baking. Voila’, a great (and easy) side dish. See all the Zucchinis in the Vegetable section.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.

Breakfast Sausage, Cherry Tomatoes, Last Call for Lettuce!
Dawson Local Harvest for June 17th
Breakfast Sausage, Cherry Tomatoes, and Last Call for Lettuce.
HI EVERYONE!
We mentioned FIVE HENS FARMS last week and they’re in the news again. First off, their very tasty Pork Breakfast Sausage is back in stock. It’s very good and goes pretty fast, so don’t dally if you’re interested. Secondly they have some dated Ham for sale at just $3.00 a pound. They consider this Ham to be for pet consumption because it’s been packaged for a year, but it’s vacuum-sealed and was good last week. Might be a way to get a great deal, or give it to your pets and make them very happy.LEILANI’S has their first-of-the-season organic-standard Mixed Cherry Tomatoes coming in. Could be 4 pints, could be 6, we’ll fill all the orders we can. This will also be the last week for Lettuce this season, so get it while you can, it’ll be a while for the fresh stuff again. Other New Choices besides the Cherry Tomatoes are young, tender baby Cabbages, Broccoli, Cauliflower, wonderfully tart Onions, Baby Carrots, and Golden and Scarlet Beets, and several other veggies still on the Menu.
More Fresh Wild-caught Georgia White Shrimp straight from the docks of Darien, Ga. will be available from TOM’S AWESOMW SHRIMP. That’s great eatin’!
THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!
REMEMBER! You can order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
