Market News
Not much news on the farming front this week. It’s been hot, but not abnormally so for August, and we’ve had enough rain to keep the ground from drying out. Looks like we’re fixing’ to get four inches more this week, so our growers are getting prepared for that. My eldest turns 17 on Thursday, and that had me reminiscing — I’ve been running our little market for longer than Vivian’s been alive, and some of you who have been on this journey with us will remember me filling orders with a baby strapped to my chest, first on the lawn outside Kudzu Coffee, and then on the patio of Big City Bread. Much has changed since those days!
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 at our market’s home on Tallassee Road!
We are still getting new customers every week (and we love seeing new faces!) so for all of you you can find a detailed run-down of how Thursdays go on our website here: https://athens.locallygrown.net/faq#7
Other Area Farmers Markets
If ALG doesn’t have everything you need, please support our growers at the other markets that are now back up and running, or at their own locations. The Comerian takes online orders for Saturday pickup at the bakery here: https://www.thecomerian.com/online-ordering. The Athens Farmers Market is holding their Saturday market once again in Bishop Park and Wednesdays at Creature Comforts.They’re still operating under pandemic rules, so you’ll want to read up on all the changes on their website, http://athensfarmersmarket.net. The West Broad Farmers Market is back, holding a drive through market just like us (and using my software too, so it’ll be nice and familiar). You can join them at https://wbfm.locallygrown.net. The Saturday market in Comer has also returned. They’re small, but sometimes an early Saturday drive to Comer is just what the soul needs. And of course Collective Harvest is going strong over at https://www.collectiveharvestathens.com.
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!

Berea Gardens: Market open
Hi Friends,
Opening a little early today so we can leave in a short while for a play date that we truly need. Also hoping for some rain this week. I subsoiled an area for our fall cabbage down to 24" and even at that depth the soil was bone dry. We are thankful for a good well and drip irrigation to keep our crops going.
Our full slate of vendors will be here this week so be sure and stop by on Wednesday even if you don’t get an order in.
Appreciate ya’
Bob and Lynnita

News from Our Growers:
Carole Herbs/CS3 Farms: We have lots of pumpkins/winter and summer squash and some herbal and regular tea, all of which is delicious cold or on ice for a hot summer day. The winter squash will keep for a couple months if not too warm, so stock up now for fall! We also have a little bit of ginger fig shrub available. Check our our FB site /CS3Farms for our recently launched culinary herb lessons. You can learn about herbs to cook with that are also medicinal and test your knowledge!
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: We have several nice varieties of African violets, returning to the market after a few months’ rest. In the coming weeks I will be adding a few additional older varieties. I’m also abundantly blessed with herbs to cut this season. Consider picking up some freshcut herbs loaded with flavor to dehydrate or freeze for winter use. If you’d prefer growing your own, I still have a good selection of herb plants available as well.
Mama D’s Bakery: We have a Sourdough Sandwich Loaf, Oatmeal Cookies, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberry Swirl Bread, Raspberry Swirl Bread, and Apple Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread(with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts(cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies(chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!!
RnR Farms: New this week are our Crimson Sweet watermelons and surprise melons. We call them surprise melons because we grew these from saved seed, and so we have no idea what each melon will be. They are a honeydew/cantaloupe cross, and they have both orange and green flesh and are absolutely amazing. You may get a pure cantaloupe, or may get a pure honeydew. But chances are you will get some type of cross. Order multiple and we will make sure you get as many different melons as possible.
Short Mountain Cultures: We have many delicious and usable items to select from its hard to just select a few to highlight. Our Bulk Dry Products are plentiful, Fermented and Culture Products are always delicious and beneficial. We feature Hatcher Dairy Milks and various other products for body and health.
Flying S Farms: We have some delicious eggs. We will have more soon!
