MARKET NEWS
We have three different varieties of cucumbers available this week, and they’re all different. Below are quick descriptions:

Lemon Burpless from Bo & Lisa’s
The flavor is mild and sweet, and the skin isn’t quite as bitter as other varieties. The name comes from their appearance, rather than taste!

Pickling Cucumbers from Bo & Lisa’s
These are excellent for making sweet pickles or even refrigerator pickles. I will try to find a recipe for these when I come back from vacation!

General Lee Slicing Cucumbers from Back River Farm
Excellent slicers for cucumber salad or a salad with cucumber highlights.

If you pay us by check: Please make checks payable to Rancho Alegre Farm rather than Gwinnett Locally Grown. Thanks so much!!!!

• 5. Pick up your order Saturday, August 2. Exact time will be announced as soon as we know the schedule, but we may have to call you that day. If you order, please keep your day open as we do not have storage space and delivery drops are not packaged to survive in the summer heat the way they were when Tracy was shipping.

If you are interested in Goat’s Milk and can pick up any day but Tuesday, contact Nik The Goat Guy at 404-542-0981. Goats have to be milked every day and a week-end pick-up would be lovely. Please contact him first though, we can’t accommodate walk-ins due to hosting private events almost every week-end!

Please contact grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com for questions pertaining to Market or Raw Milk. It is very difficult to return phone calls. Remember to interact with us on Facebook and follow us on Meetup to get notification on all our wonderful events and news.
