Market News
It’s so ewasy to forget what day it is when marking holidays, and I nearly forgot that today was in fact Sunday and I needed to get market open for you. I hope however you mark the poassing of the season, this week has been a pleasant one for you. I’m the sort who likes to celebrate all the holidays that come around, because why not, but every year every holiday becomes a bit more tinged with sadness when I remember family members and traditions that are no longer here. New traditions (and new family) invariably get added to the mix, but they’re adjacent to, not replacements for, that which is missing. Such a complicated ball of emotions, this time of year creates. It’s part of the human experience, I suppose, and I hope you’re navigating them too as well as can be.
I’m expecting some of the growers also have lost track of time, so I’m keeping their side of the market open late. You may want to chack back later on Monday or Tuesday to see if new things have been added. Don’t worry about placing multiple orders — we’ll combine them all together come Thursday.
Thanks so much for your support of Athens Locally Grown, all of our growers and artisans, 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 has closed for the season. They’ll return in April, and you can catch the news on their website. 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 from 1-4. 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!

CLG: Opening Bell: Pecans, Honey, Apples, Jellies!
Good evening.
Market is OPEN! By now all the presents have been opened and all the tummies filled. The holidays offer a great time to reflect on the past year, and look forward to the coming year. I think we can all agree that 2016 has brought some unexpected events, and 2017 will no doubt be filled with more. One thing that won’t change, though, is that Conway Locally Grown will continue to provide the best local food in Central Arkansas every week.
We’re having our last T-shirt giveaway starting tonight! Each item ordered from Ratchford Farms this week will earn you one entry into the giveaway for a stylish large T-shirt featuring Ratchford Farms Buffalo Ranch.

Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
Check out over 525 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!

Good morning!
To those who attended the Jams & Jellies Tasting Event, thank you very much for stopping by and encouraging our farmers. To those who missed it, all I can say is… you should have been there! We had a great time, met several new folks, and handed out quite a few market business cards. Our market is continuing to grow!
This is just a reminder that we will be closed for orders this week. Some of our farmers are traveling or entertaining family members this week, and we knew that some customers will be doing likewise. We who bring your fresh local farm products each week wish all our customers a wonderful blessed Christmas season. The market will reopen for ordering on Sunday, January 1, with pickup as usual on Thursday, January 5. Stay safe, have a fabulous holiday, and see you then! Please invite your friends and neighbors to try our market in the new year.
Blessings,
Linda
