Ga. Farm Bureau
offers market guide

342-1196, ext. 5327.
In it, you'll discover where to
find some of the best farm markets
in the state, in addition to where to
locale that perfect Christmas tree.
The brochure lists all the
markets, their location, and the
products offered. There's also a
map that'll help you locate markets
easily.
For canning purposes, the
brochure has a convenient guide
that gives the approximate yield
from fresh products.
Currently, there are 65 markets
in the Certified Farm Market

Market" assures consumers that the
establishment offers only the
freshest fruits and vegetables.
Many markets specialize in one
commodity, but offer a wide range
of products. Most offer a product
line of jams, jellies and relishes,
while others also sell salad
dressings, barbecue sauce, steak
sauce and gourmet mustard made
with Georgia’s famous Vidalia
onions.

Spillers' specialties include
fruit cobbler, Key Lime cake
By PAULINE LEWIS
Staff Writer
Jerry Spillers is the Houston
Times-Journal's Cook of the Week.
An employee at Robins AF Base,
Spillers and his wife, Beverly, live
off Hwy 341 N on the old E.H.
Holland Farm, along Holland Road.
Spillers is a native of Roberta and
a graduate of Crawford Co. High
School and his wife, a nurse, is a
native of Macon.
Spillers served four years in the
Air Force (1955-1959), being sta
tioned at Lackland AFB, San
Antonio, Texas for training,
Robins AF Base for six months
prior to Sheppard AFB, Wichita
Falls, Washington for one year,
McCord AFB at Tacoma,
Washington, Anchorage, Alaska
and Westover, Massachusetts.
After military service, he went
into the motel business with his
dad and later into the automobile
business (1959 to 1985).
He began work in one of the
hangars at Robins AF Base, bought
the Holland Farm and started farm
ing, specializing in fruits and veg
etables.
He plans to cut back on his veg
etables arid concentrate more on his
fruit trees and berry vines. He has
plums and three varieties of nec
tarines, two with white meat and
one with red meat. He says, "Once
you eat a nectarine cobbler, you
won't ever want to eat another
peach cobbler!"
The season for the red variety is
over, but the white ones are in full
season (1 July - 1 November) and
are delicious.
Spillers says that he does lots of
cooking (most of it on the grill on
a screened porch during the summer
months, so as not to heat up the
kitchen).
He gives three or four barbecues ev
ery year, barbecues on Mr.
Holland's 70-year-old pit, and has a
special little house in the yard with
tables and screens so that his guests
can eat in comfort.
He also has dove shoots the first
days of the open season, and invites
some of his friends to the shoots.
He and his dad go fishing in his
dad's pond and he also goes to Coco
Beach, Fla. to catch white perch.
He cooks pics, cakes, casseroles,
meats and vegetables, makes squash
pickles, uses Italian dressing and
vinegar for some of his meats, and
his Key Lime Cake is a specialty.

the U.S. Postal Service represents
the best communications value
in the world?
It’s true. No other postal system in the world delivers such
fast, reliable and widespread mail products and delivery ser
vices at such low prices. That’s why consumers and busi
nesses from coast to coast rely on the U.S. Postal Service to
deliver 580 million letters and packages each day.
But, we’re not content.
The U.S. Postal Service and its nearly 700,000 employees
are striving to improve service by:
• Processing letters and packages more quickly and efficiently.
• Introducing products and services that provide solutions for our
customers' communications needs.
• Offering quality products, at affordable prices, at 40,000 post
offices nationwide.
• Delivering world-class volume at world-class value l7l billion
pieces of mail annually, or more than 40 percent of the world’s mail.
• Protecting you and your mail with 2100 Postal Inspectors
dedicated to the sanctity of the U.S. Mail and consumer protection.
We continue to be our toughest critic.
We’ve taken a long, hard look at ourselves to determine how
we can be better. So far we’ve streamlined our operation and
lowered our operating costs (as always, no tax dollars support
us).
And we’ll do more.
So that the U.S. Postal Service continues to provide the best
communications value and service in the world.
