Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville : Reminder to Order! PLEASE Read NOTES!
The Market closes at 8:00pm!
We appreciate your support of our LOCAL Farmers and of the Market! Please SHARE the Market with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers!
…a few notes…
Ancient Awakenings has fermented offerings this week. Next availability will be December 1st!
My Daily Bread has their yummy offerings on the Market this week. Dabrielle has set aside time and resources to bake for our Market on a weekly basis. If we are not able to make a minimum amount, it is not financially sustainable for My Daily Bread and we will lose our place in getting our orders filled. Check out their Organic Bakery items and get your orders placed before Market close!
Doug’s Garden has listed Sweet Potato Leaves, Assorted Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash and his wonderful Herb Lovers Box!
Fry Farm has items listed on the Market this week.
Butternut Squash
North Georgia Candy Roaster Squash
Wild Garden Kale Mix
Lettuce ‘Wild Summer Mix’
French Breakfast Radishes
Hakurei Turnips (with or without greens)
Hinona Kabu Turnips
Pre-Orders for Holiday Meats! Hams, Turkeys, Turkey Breasts are all available from the Hutchins Family of Heritage Farm! These options will NOT be available for long and are only available as Pre-Orders! Don’t miss this great opportunity!
Greg is using a new meat processor! Don’t miss the opportunity to check out all of the new Sausages:
Bratwurst (on Sale this week!)
Bratwurst Jalepeno and Cheese links
Chirizo
Irish Bangers
German style Frankfurter
Sweet Italian Sausage
Cajun Sausage
Polish Sausage
Bacon is on sale!. This Bacon is NOT as thick as we have been getting! I prefer a medium to thin sliced Bacon and this one works for me!
Heritage Farm also has some Produce listed:
Watermelon Radishes
Okra (sold out)
Apples (these are wonderful!!)
Eggs
As of this writing all Eggs are Sold Out! I have contacted our Farmers and have asked that extra be sent if they are available. This is ONE example of the result of inconsistent ordering! The amount of Eggs that we were ordering dropped dramatically. Chickens were still laying Eggs – Farmers need to sell those Eggs (or Milk or Meat or Veggies or Baked Goods) – if we cannot support them, someone else will! When I send the reminder email on Thursday, I will let each Market know how many Eggs will be available on Table Sales! They will be sold on a First Come, First Served basis only!
Cow Milk and Goat Milk
For those of you who order Raw Cow MILK, (for your Pets!) Sam makes a 375 mile round trip to ensure that we have fresh milk. Our milk orders are down drastically from last year and this is becoming a burden to Sam. Financially it is not sustainable. In lieu losing this wonderful product and resource permanently, we are discussing going to an every other week delivery. Cows do not stop giving milk because our orders are down – consistency in ordering is important!
Goat Milk will NOT be available until December! Some folks who ordered Goat Milk last week did not get their order. Usually Rusty of Little Tots Estate systematically dries out the Does before they ‘kid’ (give birth) in both the Fall and Spring. The Mamas and Mother Nature did not afford him that control this time around. Whether this is due to the dry weather we have had or other factors, Rusty cannot say – but the result is — no Goat Milk until after the Does have their babies! I will keep you informed!

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Happy Halloween-
I love this time of year- when the weather starts to cool down. Whoops- wait….. that hasn’t happened yet! Oh well- I guess Mother Natures trick is on us this year.
Here on our farm everything is starting to really pop. Most of our fall greens are in and producing. We are still waiting on broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts, but most everything else is in and looking delicious.
See you at the market on Thursday,
Angela
Cook Farm: Cook Farm
Hi from the farm,
Its very unusual to have these warm conditions the last day of October, but it has been good for the gardener who is wanting to get the winter garden started late!
Spinach, beets, and radishes are sown. Kale and lettuce going in today. All will get tucked under a low tunnel soon!
Blessing of health to you,
Susan Cook

NEWS AND NOTES – PART II
This is just too good to keep to myself!
The Altamont Mennonites, a group of farmers who live on The Mountain, have joined our market. This week they have listed several diary products, including pet milk, buttermilk, and pure cream, and also carrots.
Flying S Farms has added two new flavors of bar cookies and several vegetables, including bunching onions, 2 types of summer squash, and shallots.
Loftus Family Farm has added Roma tomatoes. Some are green, some a little riper, but all will ripen on your window sill.
Right now, as the fall season overlaps the lingering summer, we have a super-abundance of all types of vegetables. Remember: all our sources are local, within about a 50 mile radius of Manchester, TN. We will not be able to source some types of vegetables in winter, if it’s not grown in this area. Enjoy the local bounty this fall!
Remember: if you have already placed your order for this week, you may simply place a second one to take advantage of all our new offerings.
See you on Thursday! Come spend a few minutes with some of our farmers.

Market News
It’s hard to believe that November is here already what with the June-like weather, but it is. Usually this time of year i’d be talking about first frosts and the end of the summer veggies, but instead we’ve got temperatures nearing 90 degrees and I can’t even remember the last time we had rain. All of the leafy greens that generally are in their peak right now depend on cool air and lots of water, and they’re not getting either. If you’ve got connections somewhere that can bring Fall back to us, I know all of our growers would appreciate a little help.
ALG operates year-round, even after all of the other markets close, but there is one week we take off every year: the week of Thanksgiving. We will be open as usual the rest of November, so if there are things you’d like for your Thanksgiving meals, you’ll need to plan ahead and order them early. I’ve been asked if I know of any local growers with turkeys available. We have in years past had ALG growers raising turkeys, but most everyone has stopped trying. Domestic turkeys, even heritage breeds, have a really hard time with the heat and humidities of our summers, and so take an enormous amount of labor to raise well. As the holiday gets closer, I may get a few leads on a handful of locally raised heritage turkeys, and if so, I’ll share them with you.
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

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!
