Market News
For a few glorious hours this afternoon, I was reminded that while it seems like it has always been raining and will always be raining, sometimes it is actually not raining. Other than trim some brambles that popped up in my asparagus patch, I’ve not done any of my own gardening yet because it’s just been too dreary. My weather app shows two umbrellas and four dark grey clouds for the coming week, so I guess the dreariness will be ongoing. We’ll be thankful come June that we have all this water banked in the ground, but it’d be nice to not have to rely on these gummies I’ve been chewing for my Vitamin D, you know?
Thank you so much for your support of Athens Locally Grown, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. You all are part of what makes Athens such a great area in which to live. We’ll see you on Thursday at Ben’s Bikes at the corner of Pope and Broad Streets from 4:30 to 8pm!
Other Area Farmers Markets
Most other area markets are starting to close down for the season or move to winter hours. The Athens Farmers Market will return in the Spring. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is closed for the season, and you can watch for their return here: http://www.athenslandtrust.org/west-broad-farmers-market/. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. Washington, GA also has a lovely little Saturday market, running on winter hours now on Saturdays from 1-4pm. Folks to the east can check out the Hartwell Farmers Market, which starts bright and early on Saturday morning from 7am to noon, and Tuesday afternoons from noon to 4pm. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. If you know of any other area markets operating, please let me know.
All of these other markets are separate from ALG (including the Athens Farmers Market) but many growers sell at multiple markets. Please support your local farmers and food producers, where ever you’re able to do so!
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest, and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!

Magney Legacy Ridge Farm: Winter CSA #6
Dear CSA-ers
This week’s online market is now open at (https://magneyfarm.locallygrown.net/market). If you’re receiving this email, we invite you to try it out, even if you have not yet used it this year. The preassembled CSA bag this week will include: Swiss Chard, Dill, Cabbage, Spring Mix, Collards and a head of Lovelock Lettuce. Remember that you can always add to it, or simply assemble your own bag from scratch. We do ask that if you choose to have your bag delivered, that your order total is at or over $25 after including the $5 delivery fee. Custom locally grown organic vegetable delivery is a unique service that we’ve worked very hard to implement. The parameters we’ve set are the minimums we’ve determined for keeping it cost viable, and we thank you for respecting them.
Ever have one of those days where you have just a few things to do, and you feel so out of sorts? Today was one of them, but I had to open the market! I don’t know how it has slipped my mind because I am so excited about our new system. I love that we can offer choices to our members.
This is our last Winter CSA this week. We are taking off the next month to focus on planting and adding a new greenhouse to the farm. Thanks to our members we can expand our growing spaces. We are all getting Spring fever. I am ready to get my hands dirty and plant, harvest, and weed.
If you have not signed up through magneyfarm.locallygrown.net, I would encourage you to do so in the next few days. Our .com website will be down and we will be switching over completely to the locallygrown! You do not have to commit to be on this website, it will just allow me to e-mail you with the weekly availability for veggies and keep you up to date on the farm happenings.
I look forward to seeing everyone this week!
