Thank You!


There was a definite chill in the air Saturday morning when a few of us gathered to clear the second driveway at Nicole’s property. Thank you to Joe and Laura Primm, Joshua and Jordan McLain, Sarah Rockey and Bethe Munn. We accomplished our goal so when you come to Market on Thursday you can drive back to the Market building and then straight out the second (exit) driveway! It is not a paved drive; however, it is clear and hard packed to allow easy egress! It was a wonderful group effort and I am appreciative for the help!

Conyers Locally Grown:  Available for Friday November 20


I hope this finds you all doing well. The market is open and ready for orders. I got word from Doug’s wild alaskan salmon that he will restock the freezer on Wednesday. Keep a look out for it listed. He may wait until then to add to site.

Thank you for all your support. We will see you on Friday at Copy Central between 5-7.

Thanks again,

Tullahoma Locally Grown:  Its the Middle of November


Good Morning.

Today is Monday, November 16th and we are half-way through the month. Time flies fast as does the products on the market. Today is a great day to place your order in the Tullahoma Locally Grown market. Feel free to browse and select your items between now and Wednesday at noon.

Great news! Fountain Springs Farm is back on the market. They have whole chickens, breast, thighs, drumsticks, and more. They also have some tasty sausage.

Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market

Thank you for your support. Have a great day,

Champaign, OH:  One Last Cup Of Coffee


One last cup of coffee for the road…
(One Last Cup Of Coffee…Bob Dylan)

So, I touched on the foods, scents, and smells of Thanksgiving, but what about the coffees and teas to warm you?

What starts your busy morning out better than, coffee? Herbal tea? What calms you after a frantic day? A warm cup of tea…or what about turning it into ice tea for the day? Or offer iced/warm coffee drinks from a coffee bar right inside your kitchen?

We’ve got those items, as well…

See…we wouldn’t leave you without one last cup of coffee before you hit the road…

Champaign, OH:  The Weight


Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line…
My bag is sinking low and I do believe it’s time…
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she’s the only one…
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone..(The Weight-The Band)

So, as I posted last night, we have just this week’s market to get Thanksgiving orders in because we will not be around for next week’s market since it will be closed for that day. Order this week, for all needs.

We also understand that you may need some items as fresh as possible right before the big day. You can always make arrangements with individual vendors to get with them, next week, for last minute needs. We just will not be setting up through the market, next week.

One of those vendors would be me, Cosmic Charlie. If you would like dinner rolls, breads, breakfast items for next week’s holiday weekend, you can place your orders via my email, and can then pick them all up from my shop, downtown Urbana, all day on next Tuesday. Another thing to keep in mind, my items all freeze beautifully…if you order this week, you can successfully freeze, thaw, gently warm, serve, for next week…

Thanksgiving is the holiday that is my favorite but also the most hectic, as I am sure it is for everyone. As you all have read my Weblogs, you know that I have lived all over, spent a whole lot of my life living on my own, and carving out a circle of family through my friends, in every city and all during college.

One of my favorite times was Thanksgiving. Especially in cities where I had no family, just friends who were also floating along, and we would gather, with everyone adding their own special touch to the day. There would be baking, cooking, turkeys and hams in the oven, scented air with candles and cooking yumminess. Lots of bottles of wine, champagne to toast with when none of us had much money, back then, but we still made sure to splurge on holiday fun and fare. Good times, with good food, and the best of friends around the makeshift tables. Is it weird to miss those days? To think of all the friendships I have been lucky enough to be a part of? Simple, basic times made super amazing just by special touches.

This market can do that for you. I always like to call this the little market of love because to me, it represents what I came from. Friendship, friends who loved, food that was simple and delicious, food that back then, was still of the local/natural/raw state. Affordability was key, good flavor a must, and nutrition was there because it was real food.

Let us put our own market love into your Thanksgiving…we offer flours, cheeses,dairy, eggs, herbs, spices, jams, jellies, glazes, garlic, honey, maple syrup, sorghum, popcorn for snacking, greens, lettuces, potatoes, top quality, locally raised meats, breads, candles to scent your entire house for guests, and soaps for your guest rooms an baths.

Swisher Hill Herbs is still running a special on their Thanksgiving spices, but you will also need to stock up on all herbs and spices to flavor and blend.

Oakview Farm Meats can direct you with any meat questions. They also have their own shop front where you can stop in, next week, for any last minute needs.

Together, we can get this dinner, holiday, off the ground for you! With local love, with a smile, and with ease…let us put the love in your day…

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Athens Locally Grown:  ALG Market Open for November 19


Athens Locally Grown

How to contact us:
Our Website: athens.locallygrown.net
On Twitter: @athlocallygrown
On Facebook: www.facebook.com/athenslocallygrown
On Thursdays: Here’s a map.

Market News

First off, let me announce again in case you missed it, that Athens Locally Grown will be closed next week. Thanksgiving week is the one week a year that we always close down completely, so we can all travel to family, prepare feasts of thanksgiving, and otherwise mark the holiday. That means if you’d like any ingredients for your Thanksgiving meal, you will need to purchase them this week! The Saturday Athens Farmers Market at Bishop park is also still open, so that’ll give you one last chance should something not come through from us on Thursday.

Of course the traditional centerpiece for a carnivore household’s table, the turkey, is extremely hard to come by from local sources. However, we do have more than enough veggies available to make a meal fit for a king. We have so many things to be thankful for in our community, and the abundance of locally grown food is right up there.

If your Thanksgiving menu isn’t set, take a look around the internet for seasonal recipe ideas. Even if you’ll be getting ingredients at the grocery store, it’s still feasible to cook with produce that is typically at its peak about now. Here are some of my favorite Thanksgiving pages to get you started:

So, one last time: Athens Locally Grown will be closed next week. If you’d like any ingredients for your Thanksgiving meal next week, you will need to purchase them this week!

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 their farm stand is open Tuesday afternoons. They have a website too. A new Athens Sunday market has opened up at the Classic Center, every Sunday from 11 to 4 now through October. They have a website here: http://www.sundaycentermarket.com. The Comer Farmers Market is open in downtown Comer on Saturday mornings. The Oconee County farmers market is open Saturday mornings in front of the Oconee County Courthouse in Watkinsville. The Shields Ethridge Cultivator Market is held monthly in Jefferson. If you know of any 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!

Old99Farm Market:  Old 99 Farm, week of Nov 15th, 2015


The unseasonally mild fall is gracing us with an extended harvest from the outdoor gardens.

As of Nov 15th, we can offer the following crops: lettuce and mixed greens, sweet potato, beefsteak and roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes(red, yellow and orange), celeriac, leek, cilantro, parsley, parsley root, kale, three varieties of chard, collards, peppers, eggplant, spaghetti squash. There are enough eggs to go around.

Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: apple sauce, stuffed peppers, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).

Meats
I have pork, beef lamb and chicken in the freezer. The pigs went to the butcher on Tues Oct 27th and now are sausage, chops and roasts, all here. I have Bonny’s Big Red roasting chickens, ducks, geese and stewing hens.

We had a calf born a week ago, to Scruffy, a 7 yr old Lineback, we’re calling him ‘Rolf’ in honour of my friend from TO who was here for deer hunting that day. (Hope you don’t mind RK!) All the cows are now in the barnyard under the coverall, snug for the winter.

Keep your eyes open for news on Greenland and Antarctica with several huge glaciers being tracked due to accelerated melting. http://arctic-news.blogspot.ca/ is a good choice.

Healthy Eating,
