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 Mid-Georgia Locally Grown Market is dedicated to bring to the people living in the Heron Bay community and the counties of mid-Georgia naturally, or organically, grown fresh produce, meat, baked goods, preserves, honey, etc.

We are a small group of local farmers who have joined together to market our farm products directly to the public. See each farm’s description under “Our Growers” section of this website. Please note that many of our growers have their own websites for informational purposes. DO NOT ORDER through a farm’s website for our regular scheduled deliveries; use only this market website to be sure your items are delivered as promised. If you have problems, please contact Bill at 770-584-9727 before 7pm each day or email at wmfarr@bellsouth.net.

Our ordering process is simple.

There are no customer fees

You must sign up and open an account in order to place orders and to receive messages from the market manager regarding new items and to get reminders from him of when to place your next order. Even if you do not sign up please stop by because we will have extras to purchase. Signing up will help us serve you better. We will help you sign up if you’re having problems.

You only buy in small quantities — just want you want and need

We will send you each week a short e-mail reminder to registered customers as to what’s new and presently available through our website for the next Market Day. You will find the price and the farm it was raised or processed on. Once you place an order you will receive an automated confirmation e-mail with the detail of your order. We do not share or sell your name, address or e-mail address.

Simply place an order here in this website at The Market section, see link above, starting Mondays at 8 am until Thur at 10 pm.

We will deliver to the Cannongate Parking Lot in Heron Bay on Sat. between 4 and 5 pm. We will not set up tents, just deliver.

You will be purchasing directly from local farmers, not through brokers. Each vendor is an independent agent.*

The offerings will vary week-to-week during the growing seasons. Pictures of products in this website are advertising approximations and each item will vary.

Many of the preserves and baked goods will be made especially for diabetic people. The vendors only sell items for human consumption that made in a GA. Dept. of Agriculture inspected and certified kitchen. All meats are processed in an GA. Agriculture Dept. Inspected Facility (under USDA specifications and regulations) and all product labels are approved by the same agency. Mobile freezers are licensed and inspected also by the GA. Dept of Agriculture.

Please go to the section titled “Our Growers” to learn more about each farm and what they offer. You will also find an e-mail link directly to them in this same section if you need to ask a question.

The market will begin in February and continue throughout the year as demand and availability of product determines.

Thanks for your interest!
