Market News
I was really hoping that today, while I was out working in the yard and fiddling with my new garden, it would really feel like fall was in the air. Instead, it was anther hot day in the 90s. Looks like we’ve got another day or two of that, but I do spot a definite cooling trend in the long term forecast. I for one can’t wait for those afternoons in the 70s and having to put on a hoodie while waiting for the school bus in the mornings.
I’ll be out of state this coming week, and will be leaving Thursday pickups in the more-than-capable hands of my market volunteers. They’ve really been carrying the duties lately. I’ve been there, but the pressures of a new job keep me on my computer in the back most of the time. I’ll be taking my first real vacation in years, and it’s going to feel really good to get disconnected for a few days. And it’ll be somewhere I’ve never been, too, so I’ll get to sample a new cuisine and explore new types of gardens. Really looking forward to all that!
Thanks 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 is open on Saturdays at Bishop Park and Wednesday afternoons downtown at Creature Comforts. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market from the Athens Land Trust is open Saturday mornings and Wednesdays from 11am-2pm in the atrium at St. Mary’s Hospital. They have a website too. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open for the season on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. The Oconee County Farmers Market is open on Saturdays in Watkinsville. Their website is www.oconeefarmersmarket.org. Washington, GA also has a lovely little Saturday market, running from 9-1. 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!

HI EVERYONE!
Good News! LEILANI’S has a nice slate of super-fresh locally-grown Produce this week, including the first Lettuces of the Fall. You’ll see Waldmann Green, Red Sails, and Romaine. They join Okra, several types of Eggplants, Zucchinis, Peppers, and Squash. Check out all of the Vegetable section of the Market.
And in other news, looks like SHRIMP IS BACK! TOM’S AWESOME SHRIMP should have Shrimp available for us this week. I’m hoping for some fresh Shrimp and some Quick-Frozen and will have both listed. Since it’s fresh-caught, we’ll just have to see if the Shrimp cooperate!
If you have a dog with digestive problems MY DAILY BREAD may have the answer, with their Organic Dog Treats. You’ll find them in the Pet Supplies section. And look for their Fall Baked Goods like their Organic Pumpkin Roll in the Bakery Goods section.
THE MARKET WILL OPEN Sunday night at 8pm!

Market News
Finding the best words to remember a day full of traumatic and intense emotion is difficult. Cheap sentiment never does any justice. So we will remember in our hearts and minds and the sharing of stories. We do remember 9/11, pray over effects that rippled from this day.
I am certain we are all thankful for this more than just needed rain. This year has certainly been a challenge to raise crops and nurture livestock!
This week Seeds of Success will be away on vacation but returns next week.
Ann E. Mays Gluten Free Goodies is back this week with a couple of new items. A chocolate fudge cake and Pumpkin Spice Muffins! Both look incredible!
Frontier Family Farm has Georgia Racer sweet potatoes! Full of flavor and awesome eating size, great for chips too.
Bronze Muscadines are available from White City Produce and Greenhouse – They are sweeter than purple muscadines with a 28% sugar content! Perfect for juice, jelly, eating!
Rainbow Hill has several varieties of apples! Don’t miss your chance to have these incredible, local, in-season apples while they last!
Plenty of amazing summer vegetables still available along with all your packaged and convenient foods, skin care and more for your week’s grocery needs!
As always, we thank L & L Contractors for their hospitality and generosity in hosting our market! Please remember them in your contracting needs! They support us so please return the support to them!
See you Wednesday!
