Market News
All this rainy weather has really been getting me in the mood to get out and garden. Not in the rain, no, but it’s the perfect weather for going through my favorite seed catalogs, organizing my tools, and getting everything ready for when the sun shows up and warms things up again. I can’t wait! In the meantime, our farmers have got you covered, with leafy greens from their outdoor beds and warmer weather crops coming out of their hoop houses.
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!

Market News
Hello!
At the last delivery, with it being my first solo run, a couple of clever customers serenaded me with different tunes. They crooned “All Alone Am I” and “All By Myself”. I had a different song stuck in my head, Emmylou’s “Two More Bottles of Wine”, particularly as I was approaching home.
TruBee Honey has added their Beeswax Lip Balm to the Market this week. TruBee has another product that Fresh Harvest is considering offering if you have interest. It is Hemp Honey with CBD. TruBee uses their whipped honey and adds CBD oil to it. You can add 1/2 teaspoon of the Hemp Honey to tea at night. CBD has the reputation of being a sleep aid. Since the oil is extracted from hemp, it is often asked if CBD will get you high. Hemp has very little of the ingredient THC, so it doesn’t have that effect. I’m not sure about getting the munchies, though. It’s hard for me to discern where my cravings for sweets comes from. Let me know if you are interested or would like more information concerning Hemp Honey.
Check out TruBee’s website: https://www.trubeehoney.com/collections/all If there are any other items that they carry that you would like, I’ll try to get them for you.
Some of the offerings this week:
Bear Creek Farm – has a Special on Chuck Roast at $6.75 lb. and Beef Chorizo for Chili – perfect for the winter.
Wedge Oak Farm – has just made traditional cajun Boudin Artisan Sausage links, Potsticker Artisan Sausages. They just processed chickens so they have fresh chickens and cuts as well as freshly butchered pork shoulder (Coppa) steaks.
Bountiful Blessings’ wonderful carrots,
Henosis the local mushroom grower will have King Oyster mushrooms. Storage life is 4 weeks refrigerated.
Bloomy Rind has 14 different delectable items this week listed in Cheeses.
We have plenty of eggs, granola, honey, and coffee.
Deliveries will continue to be every other week. The next delivery will be Wednesday, February 6th. You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

Recipes
Chicken in the Pot with Carrots, Mushrooms, and Thyme
1 whole chicken, 3 to 4 pounds, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 8 pieces
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion sliced
4 medium carrots, halved crosswise, then halved or quartered lengthwise depending on thickness
8 ounces white mushrooms, brushed clean and halved if large
3 sprigs fresh thyme (1 1/2 teaspoons fresh leaves) or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Heat butter and oil in 12-inch sauté pan over medium-high heat. When butter foaming subsides, add chicken; sauté until browned on both sides, moving around to brown evenly, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
2. Discard all but thin film of fat from pan. Add onion, carrots, and mushrooms; sauté, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until pan juices evaporate, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Return chicken and accumulated juices to pan, moving vegetables to top. Add thyme sprigs and wine; bring to boil. Lower heat, cover, and barely simmer until chicken is cooked through, basting three or four times, about 25 minutes. Place portion of chicken on each plate; top with vegetables. Ladle juices over both chicken and vegetables and serve immediately.
Yalaha, FL: Weblog Entry
Order now through 5 pm Thursday January 24th for Saturday January 26th Pickup, (or contact me if you want a different day, we do have some flexibility.)
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up!
Hi All, Just want to share that I have been getting back into fermenting again. Let me know if you are interested in getting fresh cultures for Kombucha, Milk Kefir, or Water Kefir. My Kefir grains especially have been growing fast. The Kombucha scoby is a little slower about it and my Jun scoby has been a bit resistant to the idea of replicating (which I understand is kinda common for that particular culture.)
Please let me know what micro greens or shoots you are interested in and I can start growing enough to make them available (most take less than 2 weeks.)
Also, if you want me to list super foods like Purslane, let me know, I have it volunteering wild here and I will likely also have nettles come winter/spring season.
Send me a message if you are interested in Getting Channel Catfish.
If you have any particular requests, let me know I’m happy to grow to order.
Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market

Foothills Market: The Market is Open!
Let’s talk pot roast! It’s another cold week, and while we do have some fresh vegetables on Foothills Market, it’s not exactly ideal growing weather for vegetables.But wouldn’t a nice beef or pork roast taste good on a cold day? Whether you put it in the slow cooker or roast in the oven to also gain some heat in your kitchen, roast could give you a hearty supper. Serve some spinach, Brussels sprouts, or a rutabaga puree alongside – all of it from farmers in your local area.
Check out the market for the selection of roasts and other cuts of beef or pork – or maybe you’d like to try a leg of lamb! Check out the recipe section of this site for a recipe for Leg of Lamb with Mustard sauce, posted by David Cooper of Sheepy Hollow Farm.
Place your order by 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, and we’ll have it ready for pickup between 4:30-5:30 p.m. Thursday.

Today is the perfect day to stay inside and make a pot of soup! As my church is having a soup supper tonight, making soup is exactly what I’ll be doing for the next couple of hours. To inspire you, here is a link with lots of soup recipes: https://www.tasteofhome.com/collection/classic-homemade-soup-recipes/view-all/
And, just now, my son Charlie poked his head in the office door and said, “Mom, what kind of soup are you making for tonight?” Me: “I don’t know yet.” Charlie: “Could you please make chicken noodle soup?” So, let me finish this blog, and then I’ll be off to the kitchen to make chicken noodle soup!
Stay warm, and we’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
