Athens Locally Grown: ALG Reminder: We are closed this week!
Hi there! This is just a reminder that Athens Locally Grown will be closed this week to allow us all to celebrate Thanksgiving. If you need a last minute item from our local farmers, Heirloom Cafe on Chase Street will be hosting a mini version of the Athens Farmers Market from 11-2 on Wednesday.
If you’re still looking for inspiration and recipes, of course the internet has no shortage of Thanksgiving suggestions. Here are some of my favorites that I return to every year:
- Thanksgiving Recipes from The Splendid Table
- Rachel Ray’s Farmers Market Thanksgiving
- Roasted root vegetable pot pie
- A soup-to-nuts plan for a homegrown holiday meal
I am very thankful for all the food options available to us provided by members of our community who care about the health of both the people eating the food they provide and the land from which it came from. And I find it very fitting that I get to express these thanks via a meal made from that very same food.
Thanks also to you, and happy Thanksgiving! We’ll see you next week.
PS. If you missed my big announcement last week, that ALG is closing down on December 23, you can read all about it here: https://athens.locallygrown.net/weblog/view/45988.

Berea Gardens: Market Open!
Hi Friends,
It’s our favorite week of the year here at the farm as we reflect on the year’s blessings, the miracle of God’s gifts to us through the soil, and the gratitude we have for all of you that have supported us this past season.
This will be the last week of our “Drive-through market” up front, but I have good news for those of you that want your weekly opportunity to enjoy the products that Berea Gardens, Bop and Nana’s Bakery, Kenny Point, Carol Houchin and Circle S Farms have to offer. Beginning December 1 we will move the market pick up spot to our meeting room downstairs at the back of the building. We will be servicing pre-orders only inside, but Dan will have his trailer in the parking area up front so he can meet your shopping needs there. More info about how to pre-order from the various vendors will be posted next week. For Berea Gardens, you can just continue as always using our online market.
If you don’t want or have time to come in, you can just toot your horn and we will bring your orders out to you.
Inside, we will have the wood stove fired up, and the teapot on so if you want to visit for a spell, you can. We will require that masks be worn indoors.
Again, I want to thank all of you for making this year such a special one for all of us at the market. Blessings for a special Thanksgiving.
Bob, Lynita, and the rest of the gang

They should last about a month if outside, and will be just as beautiful after Christmas as before. Delivery will begin the first Wednesday of December and continue till all orders are filled.

Happy Thanksgiving!
GOOD FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The following thoughts are from Be in Health Ministries who have over 30 years of experience teaching and ministering to people who are afflicted with every manner of disease. They’ve seen many astounding results of healing and restoration by addressing possible Spiritual Roots of Disease® and offer help with Biblical insights as to why we get sick and how to overcome disease in life.
Some of the ideas and language may seem quaint, but the principals of gratitude & thankfulness for health and well being are sound and backed by science.
Thankfulness and Your Health – Real Solutions for Your Health and Wholeness
The Bible tells us time and again to offer up sacrifices of thanksgiving; to be thankful and grateful. At face value, this may seem like one of those good ideas that God would want us to do for Him for His pleasure. Yet as we really look deeper into His ways, His commandments and precepts, we find that they are specifically designed for our benefit and well-being. There is actually a link between thankfulness and your health. It hasn’t been until recently that science has been able to observe the neurological, physical and emotional benefits of gratitude.
It turns out that thanksgiving and gratitude can actually be a useful key to assist a person in their walkout. Studies have shown that when people daily practiced gratitude they experienced improvements in many different areas of their lives.
5 Ways that thankfulness improves people’s lives and health:
1. Improvements in their mental health, including a noted reduction of depression, PTSD and fatigue symptoms.¹
2. Improvements in the subject’s sleep, overall health, and sense of wellbeing.
3. Improved self-confidence in their own abilities to accomplish and complete tasks.
4. Improved cardiac function and reduced levels of inflammatory biomarkers in patients experiencing heart failure.²
5. Improved relatability and empathy for others resulting in healthier relationships as they expressed gratitude towards others.
But there is a catch!
If we take this concept at face value and run with it, we may conclude that thankfulness could be a solution to these issues. But these studies showed that it is only a contributing factor to the improvements. These people had to also practice reducing the negative expressions of thought and communication like fear, jealousy, and resentment.³ This is where what we know and teach at Be in Health® bridges the gap between our faith and these scientific observations.
The Word tells us to renew our mind and to cast down imaginations and any thought that is contrary to God’s ways.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2 KJV
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:5-6 KJV
The challenge comes when certain patterns of thought are so familiar to us that we don’t know the difference. We don’t even recognize them as negative programming from the enemy’s kingdom. For example, a person who has struggled with anxiety for most of their lives may not even recognize the thought patterns that they are continually ruminating on that keep them in that state. As a result, they may have never experienced the restful state of their body and mind being at peace or homeostasis in the absence of those stress hormones. (Fear, Stress, and Physiology)
This is why it is so important to first be well acquainted with God and His ways through reading His Word and personal relationship with Him. It’s only by His Spirit that these old ways can be held up against the light of His truth, sifted out and exposed in our hearts.
Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:11-13 KJV
As we repent (turn away) from these old, familiar ways, remove the works of the enemy in our lives, and practice casting down the programmed patterns of thought, gratitude is the next step to recovery. It is one of the final steps to freedom that is often overlooked yet absolutely essential in the completion of our victory and subsequent freedom.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
These researchers discovered that people who daily participated in an activity of gratefulness for a period of twelve weeks actually experienced a rewiring of certain thought pathways and lasting benefits for months beyond that period of time. So when we practice thankfulness we are actually reprogramming our pathways of thought from the negativity of the enemy’s kingdom to the positive influence of God’s Kingdom. This is the key to real and lasting healing and freedom.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 KJV
As we dig deeper and develop our own understanding of the benefits and perfectness of God’s ways, may we truly grasp it in our hearts and recognize His incredible love for us. Even though mankind has fallen in sin, He made a way of escape through Jesus Christ and the gift of His Holy Spirit so that we could experience the wholeness of life and health that He has designed for us.
