Market News
The town has slowed to a crawl, and it seems like my Facebook feed is a non-stop slideshow of photos of people on vacation. I’m still here, working, tending my garden, and enjoying everything going just a little bit slower than it had been. If you’re still in town, I look forward to seeing you on Thursday!
Tink over at Tink’s Grassfed Beef let me know about a dinner and class coming up, featuring her beef on June 25th. It’s going to be held at Southern Scratch, in Washington, and taught by Kathryn there. Long-time ALG members might remember Kathryn and her wonderful items when she was just starting out, and her food has only gotten better since then. Appetizers start at 6:30, Class starts at 7:00pm. The cost is $80/person or $150/couple. “Come learn how to purchase and prepare grass fed beef. Tink Wade will be our special guest discussing which cuts to use for what as well as preparation and cooking techniques for a meal that your guests will swoon over. Class includes a 5 course meal, recipes and the opportunity to purchase meat. Classes are BYOB and the full menu will be sent to you ahead of the class so that you can pair your favorite wine or beer. Space is limited. Sign up by emailing [email protected] or come by the shop.”
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 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 Wednesdays from 11am-2pm in the atrium at St. Mary’s Hospital. They have a website too. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open for the season on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. The Oconee County Farmers Market is open on Saturdays in Watkinsville. Their website is www.oconeefarmersmarket.org 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!

Market News
Hello!
Feels like summer is here! The vegetables are growing, as are the weeds! We’ve got a great selection of veggies this week – lots of variety and should have quantity for all! Please remember that if we sell out of something to let us know in the comments section of your order if you would like some of that item. Most of the time we can fulfill requests!
The strawberries are done but we will have organic blackberries and blueberries coming soon!
We appreciate you bringing us back any of the strawberry containers, plastic bags, or egg cartons we give to you. However, please do not bring us those items from other places. We do not reuse berry containers such as from Trader Joes, and it is just extra work for us to separate them out and recycle them. Also, please remember to bring us back your bags!!
The Bloomy Rind is off this week after a super packed weekend at the Atlanta Food and Wine Festival! They will be back next week!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee
