Anderson Farms

My name is Benji Anderson and I have a 48 acre pastured hog farm in Madison County, GA. All my hogs are Berkshire crosses mostly with Duroc and Tamworth. I raise all my own hogs and use no chemical fertilizers or pesticides on my pastures. Hogs graze and root around and are also supplemented with a antibiotic free grain ration. Pastures are rotated to keep the land and the hogs healthy.
In stock now! Saddle Creek Bee Farm specializes in pure raw wildflower honey. This honey is collected from Gwinnett and Barrow Counties. It is a great item to beat those allergies! Mixed selection of squeezable plastic, and glass containers.
We also have Wilderness Family Naturals Coconut Sugar, Flour and Organic Popcorn in the Market for sale! When you come to pick up your order, check them out! They are also now online!
Remember we have Kombucha available! If you are not familiar with it, Kombucha is a naturally fermented tea with natural probiotics! It has been around for centuries originating in Asia. It is said to have healing properties and because it is naturally fermented, is a great support for the digestive system. When your here, ask me for a sample! I’d love your feedback!
If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your imput!
*If anyone has plastic grocery bags you’d like to get rid of and recycle, we can always use them at the Market! Feel free to bring them with you on Tuesday…
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.

South Cumberland Food Hub: Time to Order Local Food!
Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub.
Green Door Gourmet is out of green kale this week, but it should be back next week or the week after- it needs some time to grow back. Plants grow slowly during this time of year with the cooler temperatures and less daylight. They still have plenty of red russian kale though, as well as several other types of greens.
This is prime cold and flu season (it’s making the rounds in my family now) so load up on local garlic from Solace Farm. It can be used daily as a preventative.
Check out our whole list here:

Champaign, OH: The Music Never Stopped
And the fields are full of dancin’…
Full of singin’ and romancin’…’
The music never stopped…
(Grateful Dead – The Music Never Stopped)
It has been a crazy week, already, and a very locally charged night, tonight, with a lively discussion/meeting concerning the shared commercial kitchen.
Thank you, so much, to all who were able to attend!! We NEED those surveys so please email me, if you have not done so, to get your survey to fill out!!
It’s the whole local vibe that I love, that moves me, that is my greatest passion!! It’s like never ending music to me, never ending dancing…I love it!
I also love all of you, and this little local market! You all have until 10pm to get your orders in!! Keep the music going, the love going, and the local vibe going…
I will give you a last call when it’s time…don’t miss out on the fun! Order!!
Peace and Love,

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder!
Christmas decorations are on display, and you know what that means: it’s almost Thanksgiving! Since they’re on a biweekly delivery schedule, this is your last pre-feast week to order from the full variety of delicious cheeses that White River Creamery has to offer. So if your Turkey Day plans include ricotta for the beet green gratin or aleppo pepper chevre to spice up your cheese tray, head to The Market now to place your order.
As should be the case this time of year, we’re finally dipping into the 20’s over the next few nights, and that means the demise of many delicate summer veggies. This is the week to stock up on organic endive, escarole, and green leaf lettuces from Crimmins Family Farm and eat all the salad you can stand to tide you over for the months of soups and stews ahead. But don’t let that get you down, because there’s always exciting new crops (beets!) just around the corner.
