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.

Martin's Farmstand: Strawberries
We will open the strawberry fields for u-pick tommorow at 2 PM. In comparsion to last week the picking is better than it was. There are a lot more ripe berries but they are kind of small. It still is very bad picking in comparsion to normal. The next picking after tommorow is Saturday, starting at 7AM. Next week the picking times will repeat with no picking Monday, and open on Wednesday at 2 and Saturday at 7.
There is a lot of small berries in all stages of green. I expect to be picking for at least two more weeks with next week being somewhat better than this week but not ever real good. Daniel

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder
Market closes tomorrow at noon!
It is a hot one today. As you read this reminder, you may be preparing for the bike ride or car commute home. You will climb into a metal box with super-heated air. The sultry air will be heavy as you inhale, and each exhalation will only drive up the humidity. The very molecules of air, seat and steering wheel will seem to melt and languidly droop into the floor mat below you. Next, the turbid air will compress around your collar, cuffs and ankles. How will you survive the journey home? How will you endure the furnace of the world?
What if you had a fresh cantaloupe waiting in the fridge? Or frozen blueberries or blackberries? Need a peach or nectarine to percolate and drizzle out the heat? How about a chopped watermelon drunk in its ice cold liquid? What if you had Kombucha fizzing and cracking like a glacier or a glass of ice ginger green tea to help relinquish the flames? Can you feel the coolness as it relaxes your throat?
Kick off your shoes and order some respite.
Coolly Yours,
Kyle Holton
