Tullahoma Locally Grown: Free Range Eggs from your Tullahoma Locally Grown Market
Good morning.
We hope you had a great weekend. All the rain we have received of late has been great for our growers. Fresh growing crops love water. Chickens love water too. In fact, the free range chickens at Barefoot Farmery have been producing eggs for you and are ready to be ordered. These free range chickens are fed bugs, grains, and non-GMO pellets. The medium-to-XL eggs are a mixture of farm fresh eggs ranging in color from light brown to dark chocolate brown and the beautiful green egg.
After you order your eggs from Barefoot Farmery, do not forget your meat, bread, milk, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and freshly roasted coffee.
Your local market closes at noon on Wednesday. Order now before your favorite items run out. Remember, you can place more than one order each week.

Thank you for your support. Have a great day,

Market News
Here we are already, at the last days of July. When August draws near, I usually issue a warning that nearly all of the favorite summer veggies are about to be in short supply. Once it gets really hot for long stretches, many plants just shut down flower production, and without flowers, there are no fruit. So, when the hot still days of August roll around there is often a sudden decline in tomatoes, beans, squash, peppers, and pretty much everything but okra. This year, though, we might be ok. It’s been plenty hot, but there’s been just enough rain to keep things from getting too dry. We’ll be pushing 100 degrees again this week, but the forecast also calls for scattered showers. If we stay lucky and the trend holds for a few more weeks, the bounty we have now just might be with us right into fall.
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.

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!

Recipes
Sausage and Eggplant Summer FrittataA great, simple summer meal!
Serves 6 to 8
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 uncooked spicy Italian sausages (about 8 ounces), casings removed
1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound), diced into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 large yellow onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
Kosher salt
8 large eggs
1/4 coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
2 ounces fresh goat cheese
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10- to 12-inch cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the sausages and cook, breaking them up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain any excess fat in the pan.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, eggplant, and onion to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cooked sausage, a big pinch of salt, and stir to combine.
Whisk the eggs and basil together in a large bowl. Pour over the vegetables and sausage. Tilt the pan to make sure the eggs settle evenly over all the vegetables. Crumble the goat cheese evenly over the top. Cook until the eggs at the edge of the pan begin to set, 1 to 2 minutes.
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, 8 to 10 minutes. To check, cut a small slit in the center of the frittata. If raw eggs run into the cut, bake for another few minutes. If not, then the eggs are set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve..
Market News
Hello!
It’s the last week of July, and we are definitely in the “dog days” of summer! Looks to be a hotter August and early Fall than it has been the past few years. It means a harder transition into establishing a Fall crop. Most Fall crops like a cooler soil and need a lot of water. We are thankful for our abundant wells that provide or good water supply for the crops!
We have lots of good veggies for you this week! The summer basics are here – tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, green beans! This may or may not be the last week for blueberries….we do have word from The Peach Truck that their season is winding down as well!
We are still rich in watermelon and cantaloupe! These have been delicious this year! Please remember, however, if you get a bad melon to let us know and we will replace it or refund your money! All our produce is guaranteed.
Lastly, tuberoses are here! This is a beautiful white flower that is actually in the lily family. It is incredibly fragrant, and a 5 stem bunch with really fill your home with loveliness!
Enjoy all this good food right at your fingertips! Remember, the best way to support a small farmer is to eat more vegetables!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee
