Getting Ready for Thanksgiving!
Dawson Local Harvest for Nov. 18th
Getting Ready for Thanksgiving
HI EVERYBODY!
Is it just me, or does this year seem to be rushing by? After all, Thanksgiving is just a week from Thursday! One way to simplify things is to get great desserts from MY DAILY BREAD. Some tastes of the season include their Organic Pumpkin Roll (beautiful and delicious!), Organic Pumpkin Spice Bread, and Organic Spelt Pumpkin Muffins. Holiday visitors will love their Everything Bagels for breakfast, and appetizers like Hot Pepper Peach Cheese Log are also amazing, so save yourself some time and treat your friends and family (I sure will!).
Speaking of Thanksgiving, how about some incredible organic Carrots and just-picked Squash courtesy of LEILANI’S for exceptional side dishes for your feast? You’ll find them in the Vegetable section of The Market.
See all there is that’s available for your selection this week on your Dawson Local Harvest!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

The Hits Keep On Comin'!
Dawson Local Harvest for November 11th
The Hits Keep On Comin’!
HI EVERYBODY!
Hope you are all enjoying this wonderful Fall weather (finally!). You still are able to have wonderful cool-weather Vegetables thanks to one of the premier Growers in north Georgia, LEILANI’S. They provide Veggies to several Locally-grown Harvests in the area and Dawson Harvest is fortunate to have an all-season grower supplying The Market. Your support of Dawson Harvest is much-needed and very appreciated!
So What’s New? Let’s start with Kale, Scarlet with a distinctive red tinge, frilly leaves, and nice flavor, and Winterbore, a more traditional ruffled blue-green Kale. Next up, ‘Hansel’ Eggplant, a smaller, more slender & tender black eggplant that can be roasted and grilled, but for a great (and very interesting) Greek pasta, check out Orecchiette online for a real taste treat. Shelling Peas are in, but only for a couple of weeks, and Tomatillos are still surprisingly available. Also, last week for Squash! There’s plenty more here, so look at the Vegetable section of The Market for this week’s availabilities.
EGGS ARE BACK from FIVE HENS, aling with their free-range Pork Chops, the last of their slab Bacon, and Quick-frozen Shrimp from Ton’s.
MY DAILY BREAD is also back this week with their wonderful Desserts like their Organic Pumpkin Roll, fabulous Breads, Bagels, Cookies, and Jellies, and so much more. Look in the Bakery Goods, Prepared Foods, and Processed Foods sections.
THE DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST is now a free, no-fee Market! That’s right, there’s no Annual Membership fee on your account. It doesn’t get better than that!
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.

Now NO ANNUAL FEE for the Dawson Local Harvest!!
Dawson Local Harvest for November 4th
NO ANNUAL FEE for The Harvest!
HI EVERYBODY!
LEILANI’S started out as a retail Garden Center 20 years ago in 1997, but over time we have evolved and totally changed, becoming primarily an all-natural, locally-grown Produce farm supplying Local Harvests in Dawson, Cumming, and Suwanee. We know the Dawson Local Harvest is a smaller Market, and we don’t have as large a selection as the big Markets do. Still, we do have excellent organic quality Veggies like Lettuces, Kale, Swiss Chard, Squash, Bok Choi, purple Onions, and lots more, along with things like free-range Meats and Eggs, raw Milk, organic and gluten-free Breads, Desserts, Jams and Jellies, just to name a few.
Many of you have tried us before, maybe liked what you saw, but thought the $25 Membership fee was steep for what you got, and did not elect to become Active Members. We don’t want to lose you as a Customer just because you are concerned about the value of your Membership. So . . .
No Problem! Be a Member for FREE!
In celebration of our 20th Anniversary, the Dawson Local Harvest will offer free Memberships! That means NO ANNUAL FEE!
Trial Members can now go forward without an Annual Fee, and Existing Members who paid the annual Fee this year will be given a $25 credit towards future purchases. And New Members can join without any Annual Fee!!
If you love Healthy, and you love Good, we think you’ll find the no-fee Dawson Local Harvest is an exciting idea! Here’s hoping you’ll take advantage of this offer and check out the Dawson Local Harvest again.
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.

BOO-tiful new Veggies for Fall!
Dawson Local Harvest for October 28th
BOO-tiful New Veggies for Fall!
HI EVERYBODY!
Hope you’re enjoying this weather as we approach Halloween with some scary-good Veggies! Tomatillos are coming in now (yes, really). This is a perfect opportunity to try your hand at Salsa Verde the way it’s supposed to be. Easy, too! And you might want to kick in some Spring Purple Onions. These are basically green onions, but the bulb and first couple of inches are purple. Excellent taste, great color in salads and stir fry. And speaking of Stir Fry, Snow Peas and Bok Choi are both available, though the Peas are only in for 2-3 weeks, so get them while you can.
In other news, MY DAILY BREAD is out of town this week for a wedding so no Baked Goods (rats!).
Finally, we have quick-frozen wild-caught Georgia White Shrimp, normally $13, this week just $10 a pound! Take advantage of this great price for this unbelievably delicious Shrimp while you can!
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.

Market Gems
Dawson Local Harvest for October 21st
Market Gems
HI EVERYBODY
One of the really neat things about the Market is the “little gems” you can find just poking around the available product listings. For instance, did you even know we had doggy treats. MY DAILY BREAD has 5 different organic treats, including my favorite, Cheese & Bacon mixed with organic oats, honey, and other wholesome ingredients.
Or how about the all-natural, chemical-free Bath and Beauty products from HANALEI BATH. They offer Essential Oils, Bath Salts, Whipped Shea Butters, a variety of Soaps, Lip Balms, and the cool thing is there are never any chemicals or artificial ingredients in their offerings.
In other news, Squash returns to LEILANI’S Vegetable roster. And don’t forget MY DAILY BREAD has Gluten-free Desserts like their amazing Cheesecake Brownies. There’s lots more to find in the Market. Take a good look today.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

Don't Give Up the Ghost!
Dawson Local Harvest for Oct. 14th
Don’t Give Up the Ghost!
EVERYBODY!
Lots of news for the Market this week.
First, What’s New in Produce. If you like hot’n’spicy, you’ll love Ghost Peppers from LEILANI’S. Twice as hot as the Scotch Bonnet, these red Bad Boys can add some heat to any meal! An order is enough to try with several dishes. Also new to the Market this week are cool-weather favorites Kale and Collards, joining Green Beans, Bok Choi, Chard, Salad Turnips, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Okra, every kind of leaf Lettuce imaginable, and other Peppers. All of these veggies ebb and flow through the seasons and several are coming to an end, so it behooves any of you interested in what’s available now to take advantage of availabilities while you can.
In other news: MY DAILY BREAD has added Organic Apple Butter to their delicious line of Jams & Jellies. If you’ve never tried their Apple Butter or Hot Pepper Peach, you don’t know what you’re missing (see Processed Foods: Jams & Jellies). They also mill their own Organic Flour for their Baked Goods and have added Freshly-milled Red Wheat Flour to their product line (see Grains & Milled).
Other Items of Note include Free-range Pork Chops from 5 HENS, Organic Pumpkin Roll and Organic Pumpkin Spice Bread from DAILY BREAD, Heirloom Cooking Pumpkins if you want to do it yourself from BRADLEY’s, along with their Local Wildflower Honey, and much more. Take a look to see what’s on the Market this week.
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.
