The Wednesday Market: Did You Forget to Order? If So, There's Still Time!
Dear Friends,
Did you forget to place an order? Did you lose track of the day, since Monday fell on a holiday? Don’t fret – there is still time to order, but not for long. We will leave the system live until 2 p.m. today. We just don’t want you to miss the opportunity to order all the products you typically purchase. But after 2 p.m., that’s it. You’ll have to wait until the next ordering cycle begins on Saturday evening.
Here is the link:

Thanks,

Good morning!
This is just a friendly reminder to place your order online by 10 pm this evening.
Remember to hit that last “submit” button. I really dislike disappointing a customer who comes to market, only to find no order in their name because they didn’t hit the last button. When your order is placed, you will receive an email confirmation. If for any reason you fail to receive this confirmation, please contact Linda as soon as you realize it’s missing.
Also please go to our Facebook page & like, comment, and share this week’s post. Facebook isn’t allowing me to post on multiple sites, or post multiple photos. So please help us spread the word. Surveys indicate that word of mouth is the most effective form of advertisement. Please help us advertise our fantastic growing market!
See you on Thursday!
Blessings,
Michael & Linda

Yalaha, FL: Weblog Entry
Order now through 5 pm September 6th for September 8th Pickup, (or contact me if you want a different day, we do have some flexibility.)
I have started the Fall Planting. Kale Seeds etc started so if all goes well, perhaps, we will have leafy greens available come October. Sorry, though I’m still trying to grow lettuce I doubt there will be any surplus of lettuce for sale till October. If you let me know you want it, I might be able to make up some orders of Mixed salad stuff (would be leftover lettuce mixed with excess sunflower shoots, perhaps the very tips of pea shoots and other microgreens and even some edible Florida weeds that we have been eating as our own salads over the summer.
Dog days of summer are here, Only a small few assorted things available. Summer in Florida means only limited things grow well and most farms take summer as a down time for cleaning, re-building, and taking a vacation. We are no different.
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up!
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.

Market News
Happy Labor Day, everyone! I’ve known many hard working laborers in my day, but probably none that work harder than our farmers. Please send a few extra thanks their way next time you’re able.
I’ll be out of state this week, attending the XOXO conference in Portland, Oregon. XOXO is an experimental festival for independent artists and creators who work on the internet, and I’ve been wanting g to go for ages. I’m able to attend in large part because I wrote all the software behind Athens Locally Grown, software that’s now in use by markets all across the country. Some of my creative inspirations will be there, people I’ve only known across the internet, and I’m really looking forward to the whole thing. I’ll be leaving pickups on Thursday in the capable hands of our regular volunteers. If you have questions they can’t answer or problems they can’t solve, just drop me an email and I’ll get right back to you.
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!
