Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market Open!

If you follow us on Facebook or Instagram you know we had a great week at the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Working Group conference. There were so many great sessions. If you’re not following please go like us on Facebook at Siloam Springs Farmers Market and on Instagram at siloam_farmersmarket. It’s a great way to keep up with what’s happening!
New this week is mustard greens and collards. There is some broccoli, spinach, kale, lettuce, butternut and all the meats.
Thank you for shopping online and see you Saturday!
Yalaha, FL: Yalaha Market Open
Order now through 5 pm Thursday January 31st for Saturday February 2nd Pickup, (or contact me if you want a different day, we do have some flexibility.)
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up!
Hi All, Just want to share that I have been getting back into fermenting again. Let me know if you are interested in getting fresh cultures for Kombucha, Milk Kefir, or Water Kefir. My Kefir grains especially have been growing fast. The Kombucha scoby is a little slower about it.
Please let me know what micro greens or shoots you are interested in and I can start growing enough to make them available (most take less than 2 weeks.)
Also, if you want me to list super foods like Purslane, let me know, I have it volunteering wild here and I will likely also have nettles come winter/spring season.
Send me a message if you are interested in Getting Channel Catfish.
If you have any particular requests, let me know I’m happy to grow to order.
Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market
You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then set the number and click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy (it is the little picture right next to the quantity box.) Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.

Market News
I don’t have any new news for you so I’ll let you get right on to ordering. We’re in for some cold weather this week, enough to bite back some of the thinner leafy greens. Most of our growers will counter that with row covers or keeping the hoop houses closed up tight, or even providing some external heat. I know a few growers have wood heaters they deploy in weather like this, just to keep the ice away from the more sensitive crops, or the summer crops they’re managing to keep going under protection. Stay warm yourself!
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
Most other area markets are starting to close down for the season or move to winter hours. The Athens Farmers Market will return in the Spring. 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!

CLG: Tamales! Opening Bell: Honey, Beef, Lettuce, Eggs!
Good afternoon!
This Friday we’ll have Doña Estela’s amazing homemade Tamales! She will make them Friday morning and have them at market Friday afternoon. They will be 5 for $7 in 3 flavors: Pork, Chicken, or Jalapeño & Cheese. To place an order, please add a note to your CLG order, or text me at 501-339-1039. Delicious with sides of refried beans and rice, topped with a bit of salsa and sour cream.
Our mild weather continues, and with it, a good mix of greens and vegetables we normally don’t see you this time of year. Take advantage of it while you can.
The new flock of 15 has started laying at Cedar Rock Ridge so look for these free-range Eggs on the Extras table this Friday.
We are expecting to have Cheese from White River Creamery next week, so stay tuned.
Flying C Ranch has added several new Beef products, including Stew Meat and Bones for broth. Their cattle are grass-fed until 120 days before processing, when they are fed locally ground grain which enhances meat tenderness and marbling.
Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 600 items available now!
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!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

The Wednesday Market: Remember to Place Your Order Today
Good afternoon.
The Wednesday Market is open for orders. Please place your order by 10 p.m. Monday. Orders are ready for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday. See the website for this week’s product offerings. Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Are you ready for the deep freeze that the forecasters are predicting for later on this week? It is supposed to get REALLY cold late Tuesday and early Wednesday, and some parts of North Georgia and the Atlanta Metro area may get freezing rain and/or snow. We just don’t know yet what is in store for us down here on the southside.
Occasionally, inclement weather interrupts our Wednesday Market plans. Please pay close attention to the weather this week, and if we make any changes to our delivery schedule, we will work very diligently to let our farmers and customers know.
Thank you for your support of locally grown agriculture and for choosing to buy locally. We’ll see you at the Market. In the meantime, we hope you stay warm and cozy!
Thanks,
Beverly
