Small Farms Making a Difference at Mid-Georgia Locally Grown’s Market at Heron Bay Golf and Country Club, Locust Grove, GA.

Dear Folks,

The Farmers’ Market at Heron Bay did not work out for us. There were not enough sales to warrant us continuing despite our best efforts and the help of Heron Bay’s Marketing and the Home Owners Association.

The farmers listed below are all within a short drive of your resort, one is in Locust Grove (Eggs, bread and scrubs at Fox Hollow Farm) and the James Farm is about 14 miles, and Sell Farm about 19 miles). Click on “Our Growers” below to find their websites and contact email and phone numbers if you want to continue to buy directly.

We thank those of you who patronized our market, you are very much appreciated.

There is a possibility that the James Farm and possibly Fox Hollow will return this summer in a traditional market setting on the property, I will notify you if this occurs.

Thanks again and blessings to you!

Bill

The Sell Farm, LLC raises Angus cattle and sells the beef from them. Our calves are born on the farm and live on pasture their entire lives. However, they are also grain fed for at least six months for that great corn fed flavor. Our cattle are never exposed to added hormones or antibiotics, some call this product natural.

The carcass is dry-aged for at least 17 days which adds flavor and tenderness to the beef meat. This is the way all beef used to be aged, but now almost all beef is wet aged in a plastic bag which does not add to the flavor. Dry-aged beef is served in upscale restaurants and you can find a limited selection at stores such as Whole Foods. For questions either email us at wmfarr@bellsouth.net or call 770-584-9727.

Hormones and antibiotics are used in most retail beef animal production because it makes the raising process more efficient — more meat for less feed input. WE DO NOT DO THIS!

We do not add pink slime to our ground beef — it is just good beef ground up.

We sell our beef by the quarter only. If you are interested in buying larger quantities such as one quarter of a carcass which results in about 100 lb of boneless beef you must purchase this direct from our farm and not through this market. Please see our website for details at www.sellfarm.com — quarters are a once per year offering.
