Market News
Hello!
We hope everyone had a well nourished Thanksgiving, filled not only with good food but lots of good times with family and friends.
We are glad to be back at it, and have a great week of vegetables and other goods for your post- holiday eating! There are lots of good lettuces, salad fixings, and good greens to fill up on this week. It’s going to be a cold week, so sweet potatoes and winter squash will also do the trick for warming dinners.
Wedge Oak Farm survived their crazy turkey harvest, and now have a new batch of poultry breakfast sausages and Tikka Turkey Sausages for you!
As we head into this busy holiday season, please know we are so grateful for you! We appreciate your support and keeping us a part of your routine!
You have until Tuesday night to place your order!
Thanks for your support, and we will see you on Wednesday!
John and Tally

Market News
Hello again! I hope you all had a pleasant week, able to spend time with loved ones and having time to reflect on the things to be thankful for (even while fretting over the many things out there to fret over).
This is the time for holiday artisan markets, and it seems like each year there are more than ever in Athens. I know many of you either sell or shop at these markets, so please let me know if you know of any you want me to mention particularly. I’ll spread the word when I hear of more as they happen via our Twitter and Facebook feeds. If you don’t already follow them, you can find the addresses right above. One of the largest artisan markets is this coming weekend, run by Indie South over on Chase Street, and it’s their eleventh anniversary of holding this market. You can learn more on their Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/269386963811002/. Also Saturday, The Hip Holiday Market at HIP Vintage & Handmade (the current venture from long-time ALG grower Leslie Lawson) will be going on off Atlanta Highway. You can learn more here: https://www.facebook.com/events/655003254871161/. Perhaps the longest-running market is the Athens Holiday Market at Big City Bread, on December 13 & 14. Their FB page is at https://www.facebook.com/athensholidaymarket/. You’ve already demonstrated your commitment to buy some of your food from local farmers. Giving gifts made from local artisans is just as important, and can be even more rewarding!
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
The Athens Farmers Market runs Saturday mornings at Bishop Park. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market has returned, and you can catch the details on their website here: 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 Saturdays from 9 to noon. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. 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. The city of Monroe has a downtown market on Saturdays, 8:30 to 12:30, and you can learn more here: www.monroedowntown.com/events/monroe-farmers-market. 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!

The Harvest is Back on Friday This Week
HI EVERYBODY!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and didn’t barf from too much turkey (I think Leilani came close). Anyway, The Market is back to its normal schedule of customer ordering Tonight through Tuesday at 9 pm, with Pickup Friday. And we have lots available on The Market this week. Here’s what’s happening.
Both Beef and Chicken are back on the Menu, with Grass-fed Ground Beef, Brisket, Beef Tips, Roasts, Steaks, and more all available, and pastured Chicken Breast, Wings, Sausage, and more also listed. I would suggest you think about what you’re gonna need for this Holiday season, plan ahead, and go ahead and order what you’ll want. Supplies are not unlimited.
On the Vegetable side, crisp Lettuce Mix is abundant, and so is Large Leaf Kale, and Pak Choi is also ready for your stir-fry. In Radishes we’ve got beautiful white ‘Icicle’ Radishes, along with the small crunchy Reds. And how about a mess o’ Greens, as in Turnip Greens, along with both white Hakurei and purple-top Turnips. And finally fresh-picked organic Green Tomatoes!
And you can add tasty variety to your dinner table with CULTURED TRADITIONS yummy and healthy offerings like Fermented Okra, Coconut Kefir, Fermented Cherry Tomatoes, Sauerkrauts, and more, in the Fermented / Probiotic listings. Finally, remember MY DAILY BREAD has great Holiday breads like Whole-wheat Yeast Rolls and Challah bread, plus wonderful Dips, Cheese Logs, Desserts, and plenty more. Check the Fresh Bakery section for all the deliciousness!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.
