PICK_UP
6)You are responsible for weekly changing the quantities on your products, acurate information about the products, and for contacting the member when there is a question or if you wish to substitute. This is your web site, and your market booth.

Your contact with our members will build customer loyalty.
Our members are conscientious about what they eat, how it was grown, how the flock is treated, and what is in the food they eat, as well as how our practices affect the earth and its environment. Never before has this awareness been so at the forefront. We are in the right place at the right time. Never has “sustainable” been so correct.
Your presence at the pick-up builds customer trust. The more often you are there, the better relationships we build, which increases demand for your products. “Put a Face on your food”.
The market welcomes your support and your presence at pick-up.
If you come to the pick-up site with extra products, you may sell these only after we have completed our pre-ordered
business. Please keep these extra products clearly separate from the pre-ordered products, possibly on a separate table. You, the grower,
are responsible for collecting for your extra products. Bring change.
As Market Manager, I have been a volunteer….I do not charge for my time. Your comission charge goes toward running the market; ie: gas, insurance, (both auto and market umbrella insurance) printing expenses, telephone expenses, calculators,
book keeper, Market Helper veggie vouchers, advertising, promotions and tastings, Farmer’s Market booths and equipment. I co-ordinate the market as a whole, and the advisory board and I make final decisions about operating policies. Your job is to ready your products for the consumer and to make sure they get to pick-up in time.
The more that you do for the market, the less time that I have to spend on it. The less you do for yourself and I do foryou, the more time that it takes me, or a market helper.
Help us keep down operating expenses by volunteering to help on pick-up days, or even by offering to take another grower’s orders to pick-up.
These are guidelines toward helping us to have an even smoother operation. All of this takes a win/win attitude. Let’s get Upstate Locally Grown Market working for us.
Questions or suggestions? We welcome them!

Availability and News Letter

Folks, West End Coffee Company will be closed for of Christmas and New Years, so remember to order extra to cover those weeks. You may pick up at Putney Farm….Just call to make arrangements. (864-901-2692) We have a good quantity of products on hand..Eggs, meat, turkey, chicken, and pork, split Creek products, and the bakery is near here.
We have added pecans in the shell, just picked this week from Taylor’s Farm. The trees grow naturally free of any cemicals.
Our eggs are also freshly collected, free ranged, and wil be good under refrigeration for 45 days.
there are stil veggies to order,,,tomatoes, cukes. green peppers,(named "red").
Remember that there are plenty of baked goods for your pleasure, all made with god for you ingredients. Dodie Spurgeon has proven herself a wonderful gok, a master of pies, soups, and preserves. all without preservatives. For a quick, healthy meal, try her 4 cheese pie…I can only describe it as a cross between quiche and pizza,,,very filling….just add a salad.
Black Cow bakery has added the original baker for their breads and muffins…the bakery has a wide array of freshly ground grains baked into the best breads and muffins in the area! If you haven’t tried the wonder of a no-bake granola bar, you haven’t lived! They are filled with all sorts of nutritious goodies and no white sugar! I find them to be a wonderful “snack” which sometimes carry me through as a meal.
Remember that we have free-range turkey and chicken for your family gatherings. It is a blessing to find chemical free poultry, beef, and pork! Remember that there is just meat, no water added. In the grocery store, you may expect your turkey, chicken, beef, and pork to have been injected with up to 25% liquid mix of questionable ingredients….Why pay ANY extra for non-meat ingredients?
All of our growers treat our animals humanely. They all have been personally inspected by one of the market managers to see that they meet or exced our requirements of humane treatment and sustainability.
Hope all of you find peace and joy in the weeks ahead… focus on what is important to you…remember the saying..“Don’t sweat the small stuff..; and it’s all small stuff!”
We are happy to have yiu with us in our quest to find the freshest, most delicious, greenest foods in the Upstate!

Availability and Newsletter

Hello to all!
Your availability list is at the end of the newsletter.
Here it is the middle of December, and we stil have local produce available in the Upstate!
There are plenty of choices of fine greens, sprouts, and also organically raised tomatoes, peppers, and cukes, thanks to the wonders of Hurricane Creek’s heated greenhouses. They all taste great!
And what flavorful turkeys we have for your holiday meals! We had one over Thanksgiving. All I did was put it in a covered roasting pan and cook it at 325 untill the thermometer showed that it was cooked through. At the last, I added a sweet potato and some red potatoes plus some carrots, a la pot roast, (an easy way to make a meal). Lenard remarked that it was the best turkey he had ever tasted! I agree! It was delicious and very moist! (Also, I could tell a big difference in how I felt after the meal….no chemicals to make me feel bad). There was plenty to save for other meals, too. Today, we had turkey and brown rice with some stir fry veggies added at the last few minutes, (another easy meal), and limas on the side. That was the last of the turkey, and I can’t wait to cook another!
Remember your friends and aquaintences with a basket of locally grown foods, and add a card or a sticker with our www.upstatesc.locallygrown.net address on it, or get them a gift certificate for a free membership or $25.00 of food. We have gift cards that can be printed out with the recipient’s name and customized for you in other ways. These cards fit in the gift card holders or boxes that are so popular today. Call or email me for special requests.
There are a variety of breads and fresh baked products available for those hard to buy for, including pies with natural ingredients baked to order by Dodie Spurgeon. Her 4 cheese pie is a meal for a family..Just add a fresh salad, (also from Spurgeon Farms)to make it complete and nutritious.
A basket of Black Cow goodies complemented with Split Creek fromage blanc will bring you thank you’s. Add a jar of feta and sun dried tomatoe and you have a friend for life!
Remember the no-bake granola bars for the mailman…these bars are a great natural pick-me-up which, in my opinion, fulfill all your hearts desires! They have nuts, seeds, chocolate chips, peanut butter, grains like oatmeal, and honey. They are the most popular item onour shoping site!
Remember that doggies deserve a treat, too, and order a gift basket full of healthy, freshly baked in the upstate doggie treats. The Barkery has the treats all wrapped up in pretty holiday decorations just for your favorite hound!
Discover a healthier pork to serve at your holiday meals..from ribs to ham steaks to sausage without the additives…find out what pork really tastes like! We hav two pork growwers: Welch’s Heritage pork, and Steve’s Pork, both pastured on organic land.
Nature’s Beef offers some of the tastiest and most tender beef that I have ever eaten. Every cut is top quality, nothing added, and delicious! Mr. Taylor’s beef free-range out here in the fresh air and beautiful rolling hills of Friendship (Honea Path) What a beautiful scene they present to the passer-by…grazing on the hills with the golden trees and old barns in the background, set against the big blue sky!
I must talk to you about the pick-up…Last week everyone came in at the same time, and we had served everyone in a 45 minute timespan. This was fine, except that we lost track of the order that all of you came in…and some who were last may have been served first…!
In hindsight, we see that all must follow the golden rule of service…“First Come, First Serve”. Please remember to take note of who is ahead of you and let us know who is next…We want to give each and every one of you the best possible service..to get your order right, and to make those last minute corrections with a clear head! We are all a big family, this is a cooperative effort, and a “Me first” additude will only slow things down.So, please, let us take you in order.

That said, we love all of you, and are thankful for each and every one of you. You are important to the whole group.
Please realize that we are working with individual harvests which are prepared just for you on your request, NOT from a huge warehouse, but from OUR house. Each grower harvests, bakes, grows for you.Unfortunately, sometimes we don’t know untill the last minute that we won’t have a product. I know that this is frustrating to you. The volunteers, nor I, have any control over your growers. This system is a cooperative effort of friends supporting each other. Some of us are imperfect, and I am at the very front of that list. We are all trying our very best, which is not, and never will be perfect, but we will keep trying to make this the very best market in the world!
Love, Peace, and joy to you!

Your Market is Open

Greetings Friends!
Your market is open for ordering once more. The availability list is at the end of the newsletter, and you may scroll down there if you wish to skip the newsletter. Next pick-up is Thursday, Dec 4. Produce from Spurgeon Farms will be available at their Saturday Market Booth on Dec 6, and then available online the next week.
Please visit us at the Saturday Market for fresh wreaths of herbs as well as other greenery, to order turkeys, and to see the organic cotton blankets that will be available from now through the holidays.
We hope that one and all had a pleasant Thanksgiving, and that you continue to be blessed and grateful for those blesings throughout the year!
I am very grateful for the opportunity to coordinate the effort for all of us to obtain fresh, whole meals for our families through cooperation of farmers, growers, and consumers. It warms my heart to see and to feel all the wonderful support for each other within our ever-widening circle. Like- minded people with a common purpose can accomplish much good.
I am filled with warm gratitude for our Market helpers who put in many hours to see to it that your order gets to you “all there”, and who keep everything straight for us on our invoices.
Stacy and Libby have gone that extra mile many times over, covering the farmer’s market, and Margie is our mainstay at pick-up.
A big thanks to West End Coffee’s Tad for cheerfully putting up with us and keeping the store open for us when he could be home.
Our Growers, too, help out, and I must mention Bill Welch, Jessie Adkins and Erin from Hurricane Creek, Richard Taylor from Nature’s Beef, who cheerfully and enthusiastically answers all questions and makes sure that he is sending just the cut and amount that you want, Chris and Eleanor from Bioway Farm, who shared the cost and labor of our booth last season at Saturday market, Mary Lynn Bushong and family for all they do…. Keri and Jennifer from Whole Foods, Christina,……
And each and every one of you who pitch in wherever needed, whether it is when we are busy at pick-up, and you help your self, or whether it is that you have organized a group of friends to pick up for each other, pass on the word about our market, or even re-use your egg cartons and bring your own bags…it is all a great help, and shows the character of our group.
There are many more to thank, and I am sorry if your name is not here in print, but we all appreciate you.
The best to all of you, and happy shopping!
Donna and Lenard Putney

Creek has peppers and cucumbers. These products are all fresh-picked and packed
to your order, and no chemicals, no warehouse storage, no shipping

 

Black Cow’s bakers are preparing to bake your breads and to mix those fabulous
no-bake granola bars that everyone loves. They certainly fufill any cravings,
and I find that they hold me when I have no time for a meal.

Remember your little doggie with some healthy snacks from Tailwaggerz Barkery,
all-natural ingredients.  They also have treats for dogs with allergies.
Check out the website through our Growers page and click on the link to their
web site.

Richard Taylor is slowly getting back to normal.  These things take time,
as I have discovered… More time than we want them to. Keep Richard on your
list.

Bill Welch is also on the sick list, and in need of both; encouragement and
physical help at the farm.  You may reach him at
welchandsonfarm@yahoo.net.

I am doing much better, and  have hopes to be restored to good as
before, because "I have miles to go before I sleep".  ( There is so much to
do!)

There are important goings-on in the next week, including a home garden work
shop next Saturday (The 22nd) through the Sustainable Grower’s school (With whom
we are now afilliated) and Split Creek Farm’s open house on that same day.
