Bluebird Market Supports UGA Study Findings

‘If Each Household in Georgia Spent $10 on Georgia Grown Produce $1.9 Billion Boost to Georgia Economy’

Bluebird Market is an organic ‘buy local’ sustainability intiative working with over 70 Georgia farmers and producers with our multiple farm CSA program. This Bluebird is so Green.

Order conveniently online from local farmers through Bluebird CSA here.

Bluebird has been advocating for local households to redirect $10/weekly to buy locally grown and organic since we opened on June 6, 2009.

How does buying local impact you?

DIY calculator:

# of households in your community x $10 x 52 weeks = dollars to local growers

Ex: If there are 10,000 households in your community who spend $10 weekly with local growers times 52 weeks would direct over $5 million a year to local growers and your community.  A small life change to –buy local– makes a meaningful impact in our communities.

Bluebird Market Sows Peace Gardens for International Day of Peace

Peace be with you…is the greeting on the cards made at Bluebird Market on Saturday in the Christmas Countdown Workshop.  Given to grandmother’s for birthdays and for holiday greetings, these plantable cards were made from recycled papers and seeds from the community peace garden.  We also made Dove Plantable Tree Top ornaments.

When plantable dove cards are sown, Peace Gardens dedicated to Peace on Earth will grow. 

Grow Peace.
