Market News
Not much news on the farming front this week. It’s been hot, but not abnormally so for August, and we’ve had enough rain to keep the ground from drying out. My eldest turns 15 tomorrow, and that had me reminiscing — I’ve been running our little market for longer than Vivian’s been alive, and some of you who have been on this journey with us will remember me filling orders with a baby strapped to my chest, first on the lawn outside Kudzu Coffee, and then on the patio of Big City Bread. Much has changed since those days!
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!

Market News
Hello!
Bloomy Rind has returned this week! They have a dozen excellent items including their Burrata (fresh cream-filled mozzarella).
It’s that time of the year – middle of August – where we all start dreaming of green veggies. I usually try to grow spinach every year. 2,000 seeds have been planted and have germinated which is a great initial success, but there’s a long way to go and a lot of bad stuff can happen like rabbits, blister beetles and stubbornness to grow in this heat. Slowly but surely green veggies will return. The Hershbergers have a couple of interesting greens listed this week, Sweet Potato Greens and Buckwheat Salad Greens. Abraham has had the buckwheat greens before, but I confess I have not tasted them. He says the leaves are mild and can be eaten alone or mixed with other salad items. I found a simple recipe for Sweet Potato Greens (below). Included was this: “Maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness to this dish.” Maple syrup is right up there with butter. It’s hard to add too much of either to anything.
R and R Farms is back with their lettuce. Abe has 16 watermelons. Growing Together has Matt’s Wild Cherry Tomatoes. Lots of fine items from Wedge Oak and Bear Creek Farms.
Dozen Bakery cookies and breads, eggs, granola, honey, and coffee are in abundance.
You have until Tuesday night to place your order.
Thanks for your support, and I will see you on Wednesday!

Recipes
Sauteed Sweet Potato Greens
Ingredients
1 large bunch sweet potato greens (about half a pound)
1/2 small white onion, diced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
Directions
Remove sweet potato leaves from stems and set aside. Remove smaller stems from the larger, tougher stems. Discard the larger stems and roughly chop the smaller stems. Heat olive oil in medium-sized pan over medium high heat. Add onion and sauté until just softened, about 3 minutes. Add stem pieces and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add leaves, salt and pepper to taste, and maple syrup. Sauté until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Serve.
