Good morning!
This is just a friendly reminder to place your order online for this week. Market ordering will close tonight (Tuesday) at 10 pm. Please don’t forget to order! But if you do forget, give me (Linda) a call Wednesday morning. I will most likely be able to get hold of the farmers and place a late order for you.
Remember to hit that last “submit” button. I really dislike disappointing a customer who comes to market, only to find no order in their name because they didn’t hit the last button. When your order is placed, you will receive an email confirmation. If for any reason you fail to receive this confirmation, please contact Linda as soon as you realize it’s missing.
Also please go to our Facebook page and like, comment, and share this week’s post. Facebook isn’t allowing me to post on multiple sites, or sometimes post multiple photos. So please help us spread the word. Surveys indicate that word of mouth is the most effective form of advertisement. Please help us advertise our fantastic growing market!
See you on Thursday!
Blessings,
Michael & Linda
Siloam Springs, AR: Update: Produce inventory updated
If you logged in to place an order before noon it may have looked like all the produce was already sold out. That has been corrected and there is SPINACH this week, as well as chard, kale, buttercrunch, and butternut squash.

Christmas is almost here! Order your holiday ham, roasts, or chicken, pies, rolls, and get some amazing greens for your holiday celebration. Don’t forget to shop for gifts and stocking stuffers as well.
We are excited to announce that a new farmer is joining our market family! Sam and Anita Andrews, owners of Raised Rite Poultry, will begin selling their free range, Non-GMO fed poultry products on our online market beginning this week. Sam has a degree in Poultry Science and has been working in the industry for years. We enjoyed a visit to his farm last week. They have whole birds, chicken frames, and all the cuts – breasts, tenders, legs, wings, and thighs. As the name suggests, they are raising these birds well!
David Mitchell, of Dos Locos Farms, does have some R Family Farm chicken still available online. He has gone the extra mile to make sure our customers have had access to quality poultry while continuing to raise his goat, lamb, and pork, and also partner with another farmer to continue to offer grass fed beef to our customers while he is developing his own beef program. We are so thankful to have his family as part of our market family as well. There are only 3 packages of chicken breast and 8 whole birds left in his inventory from R
Family Farm. We are so blessed to be able to offer such great locally grown meats to our community even during times of transition. We are proud that R Family Farm got their start at our market aandnd grew to the point they needed larger markets and we are proud to bring the Andrews family into our market. I cooked one of their whole birds for dinner yesterday and it was really good. Then I made broth out of the bones and it gelled up beautifully.
Have a great week, wrap up your holiday shopping, order your favorite market products for pick up on Saturday and then take time to enjoy your family.
See you Saturday!

Champaign, OH: The Christmas Waltz
“Merry Christmas
May your new year’s dreams come true”
And this song of mine
In three-quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing, too…

Happy Monday…the last Monday before the holiday Monday hits. The last Monday that we will be open in 2018. But, still plenty of time for you to get your orders in.
The market is going crazy for this holiday ordering, and we don’t want you to miss out, and have to wait until January to get all that this market has to offer!! Remember, Wednesday is the closing morning…make those lists, and check them twice!
XOXO,

Yalaha, FL: Get your Christmas order ready
Order now through 5 pm Thursday December 20th for Saturday December 22nd 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 and my Jun scoby has been a bit resistant to the idea of replicating (which I understand is kinda common for that particular culture.)
Some LETTUCE is available.
KALE is available. I have the living green crinkly Kale on Sale this week if anyone wants to get some!
Stock up on kale now for your New Years resolution to eat healthy. Easy to wash/dry/remove stem and Freeze for adding to green smoothie drinks.
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 click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy. Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.
Remember to let me know when you want to pick up on Sat or maybe even Friday late afternoon or on Sunday. (If I don’t send you an e-mail confirmation of your order and pick up time, please make sure you checked out and completed your order.)

Market News
Winter officially starts this week, and so the days will start getting longer once again. There are plenty of other holidays these next few weeks, of course, and Athens Locally Grown will remain open through all of them. Some of our growers are taking time off to slow down and recharge, but we’ll be here for those who have food to offer you, and we’ll be here with our regular hours for you to get it from them. Those of you who are travelling for holidays, safe travels and we’ll see you when you return!
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!
