Organic Local Veggies for Hillsdale Residents

Rasa Organics is a new north Georgia CSA that grows non-GMO, natural produce on a historic farm in Dalton, Georgia. We follow organic growing standards and strive to run a sustainable, innovative, and ecologically flourishing farm.

What is a CSA? CSA means "Community Supported Agriculture." It is a way for you to support your local farmer by investing as a "shareholder" up front in the growing season. This arrangement helps to ease the up front costs for the farmer, which typically ensures a larger, more diverse crop planting and yield. In return, the shareholders receive a bag or box (usually on a weekly basis) of the freshest, in season produce from farmers that they have come to know. Read more on our What We're About page.

Most people choose to receive produce weekly for one or more season. We try to be flexible and can work with you to accomodate every other week pick-ups and week-by-week purchases as well.

Please visit link below for pricing and a list of 2010's produce!

Currently, we have a pick up location in Dalton and we also deliver produce to the Brookhaven and Highlands areas of Metro Atlanta. We are happy to serve out local community with vibrant and healthy produce. Please visit our Pick-Up Locations page for more details!

Great Dane missing

One of our new neighbors on Fairhill lane has lost one of their great danes. I saw her (the owner) walking with the other Great Dane about 45 minutes ago when heading to Kroger and her husband was driving around the neighborhood looking for the dog. Please be on the look out for the dog because the dog is new to the neighborhood and doesn't know his/her way around. As animal person I would be devastated if I lost my wild dog Bailey.

I am sorry to say I don't know the new neighbors names, but Ward (my husband) mentioned that Beth Williams was also driving around looking for the dog so she might know their names. I think they are living at the end of Fairhill lane. I sure hope they find their dog. Thanks for your help.

our number is 404-636-9494 just in case you see the dog and can't figure out where it goes. We will be happy to help.

Strange Knocking on Back Door on Friday Night

Hello Hillsdale Neighbors,

This past Friday night, we experienced a distinct knocking on the back door leading out to our deck. We called the police, who arrived 15-20 minutes later and searched the backyard and around the house, but they found nothing. We wanted to share this information with everyone as a reminder to have proper lighting in front and back of your house (we have since made some much-needed improvements) and to see if anyone else has experience any strange activity like this. We hope not because it was a scary incident for us, but if so, it would be helpful to know. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Amanda and Matt Jackson

Yoga in your Home!

Hello Everyone,

I am a Hillsdale resident and a yoga teacher for over 12 years. Are you interested in learning yoga in the comfort of your own home? If so, I'd be more than happy to walk over!

A little about me... I have spent significant time in ashrams both in the US and India, delved deeply into various yogic traditions and received the blessings of many world-renowned spiritual teachers. In 1999, I became accredited as a teacher through the Integral Yoga International Institute at the 200-hour level, which meets the requirement for Yoga Alliance registration. The practice is holistic, addressing the entire body, physically and energetically. It is meditative with results of a healthy and "ease-ful" body, a profoundly balanced energy and deeply relaxed state of mind. This yoga not only addresses the core of one's body, but also reaches the core of one's life.

I am experienced teaching restorative, beginning, intermediate and advanced hatha yoga classes in university, temple, spa, hotel, chiropractic, health club and yoga studio settings. I also teach private individuals, small groups in their homes and serve as a substitute yoga teacher in Atlanta.

Private rates for 60 min. is $75 and 90 min. is $100. Would love to hear from you!

Threat from Rains Continues - HillsDaler Lost Car to Tree

Please remain on alert for ongoing threat from rain and flash flooding in HillsDale and environs. Roadways are dangerous to travel for at least the next 2-3 days with flooded streets, downed trees common. In many cases, downed power lines are involved and can create a very lethal situation. At least DeKalb and Gwinnett School Systems have closed for Tuesday due to these types of threats.

As you can see from the photos below, the threat of falling trees is very real. Our neighbors Ward and Caroline Stuckey lost their Nissan SUV to the thunderous crash of a fallen pine this afternoon. The massive tree crushed their vehicle where it sat in their driveway less than 30 minutes after Caroline and her son exited to the vehicle. While no one was injured, the vehicle is a total loss and the Stuckey's home did have some roof damage. The force of the tree was so great it displaced a section of the driveway beneath the vehicle. Bill Haag, Allan Evans and I secured the roof with flashing and tarp to buy the family some time waiting for insurance, utilities, and emergency response.
