Fresh from the farm to your fridge ๐Ÿงบ๐ŸŒฟ

The virtual market doors close at 6:00 AM tomorrow morning so our farmers can start harvesting your orders fresh from the fields. If you want the freshest local groceries on your table this week, youโ€™ve got to get those carts finalized tonight!

When you buy from local producers, you get clean, honest food in its truest, most natural state. No chemical coatings, no heavy corporate cosmetic waxes, and zero supply-chain fluff. Just pure, local goodness from neighbors like Sweet River Farms - Live Oak FL. Long Live Farm, and Schmoe Farm .

Donโ€™t wake up tomorrow morning to empty digital bins and FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out on local tomatoes). Wrap up your shopping before you head to bed tonight!

and confirm your order before the 6:00 AM cutoff! ๐Ÿ›’โœจ

Shop Naked. (Yes, Really.) ๐Ÿ›’โœจ

Before you get any wild ideasโ€”keep your clothes on! Weโ€™re just talking about your food.

When we say "shop naked," we mean choosing food in its truest, most natural state. The stuff you buy from your local Red Hills farmers hasn't been coated in heavy cosmetic waxes or pumped with synthetic preservatives to survive a 2,000-mile truck ride. Itโ€™s just clean, honest food grown right here in our soil by your neighbors, completely free of corporate supply-chain fluff.

Shifting your focus to local changes everything:
๐Ÿ‘‰ It actually tastes like food: Harvested at peak ripeness and grown purely for flavor, not for cross-country road trips.
๐Ÿ‘‰ The nutrients are still there: Conventional grocery produce can be weeks old. Local food hits your plate at its absolute nutritional peak.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Total transparency: Click on any producerโ€™s profile on our market to see exactly who grew your food in the Tallahassee and South Georgia area.

As the June heat settles in, summer farming gets tough. Your consistent weekly orders are what keep this whole system alive! This week, choose food that has absolutely nothing to hide.

With live music and performances happening throughout the afternoon, delicious food and drinks around every corner, Chef Nikkiโ€™s cooking demonstration at 2:00 PM, the Farmers Market, raffle drawings, and more, thereโ€™s plenty to experience at this yearโ€™s Tomato Feastival.

Be sure to review the dayโ€™s schedule and plan your stops between the Front Steps Stage at the Goodwood House and the Carriage House Lawn Stage so you donโ€™t miss your favorite performers.
