Siloam Springs, AR: Weblog Entry
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
Spring is in the air! Our farmers are planting root crops like potatoes, carrots, onions, and more. Greens are already growing well as we’ve seen at Opossum Hollow Farm. Seedlings are growing in greenhouses. Bees are buzzing everywhere enjoying the nectar from the tiniest of the first wildflowers to show up in spring. New worker bees are emerging to help bring in the pollen and nectar for the summer honey harvest. Bacon is growing in the woodland pastures, and steak and chicken are free ranging under the beautiful sun. Chickens are laying eggs a plenty. Life is good on the farm.
It’s a beautiful week for Spring Break. Get outside and soak up some Vitamin D this week. Remember to place an order by Thursday at 10 p.m. See you Saturday!

Good morning,
What a nice weekend; feels as though Spring is finally here to stay! Fruit trees are budding, onions & other early starters are well on their way to being ready, chicks are hatching… I just love this time of year!
Thank you for being part of our small local farms.
Have a beautiful sun shining week,

Market News
If you got a Spring Break last week, I hope you had a good one! Me, I’ve got a regular 9-5, and stayed in town and enjoyed the quiet for most of the week. Still managed to get away for the weekend and enjoy camping at Black Rock Mountain State Park on their opening weekend (I’m writing this from campsite #31). It’s been mighty cold up here on the mountain, but it was still nice to get away for a few days. Spring officially starts this week, and hopefully the deep freezes are behind us. We’ve got another month until our average last frost day (two months for some of our outlying growers), so we’ll no doubt see some cold nights — possibly even some light frost in town later this week. Frosts are one thing, but deep freezes are much harder on our growers and the plants they’re cultivating.
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!
Other Area Farmers Markets
The many other area markets are starting to return! The Athens Farmers Market starts on Saturdays this coming week, and Wednesday a couple weeks after. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is closed for the season, and you can watch for their return here: http://www.athenslandtrust.org/west-broad-farmers-market/. 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 now on Saturdays from 1-4pm. Folks to the east can check out the Hartwell Farmers Market, which starts bright and early on Saturday morning from 7am to noon, and Tuesday afternoons from noon to 4pm. 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!
