Lathemtown Farm Fresh Market: This Week at the Market
The heat has arrived – whew! I am having to water regularly now as well. The peas aren’t as plentiful as I had hoped without more rain, but they’re still coming in. Our greens still look wonderful. Have you tried Swiss Chard? It is great in salads, sautéed or mixed in with eggs. The plum tree was loaded – we had 12 pounds of green ones sold this week and they should start ripening with all this heat and sun. Orders this week will have a mix of green and ripe. The chickens are still happy layers and there are plenty of eggs.
I backed down on the prepared foods as we have graduation going on this week and then a party with family coming in from out of town next weekend.
Thanks for shopping with us!

Several items still available from some of the markets other Growers:
Quarter Spring Farm: We have updated our selection of available soaps, including two new floral scents. We are also pleased to introduce our all-natural lotion bars to the Stone’s River market. We have several scents available, including a bug repellant variety. If your family loves chicken, now is the time to get them some of the tastiest birds around from your friends at Quarter Spring.
Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week! We have 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!!
Belle Fleur Organics: Enjoy our Bright Spring Lettuce Mix, Red Russian Kale, Rainbow Swiss Chard. We will also have a small stand set up during delivery to introduce ourselves and bring other delicious produce.
RnR Farm: Excited to offer, Baby Japanese Mustard Greens (delicious in stir fries), Free Range Organic Fed Chicken Eggs, Baby Kale Blend, Red Leaf Lettuce, Red Leaf Lettuce Heads, Romaine Trio, Lettuce Blend and Costata Romanesca Zucchini – it is nuttier and richer flavor than typical zucchini you find elsewhere.
Sassy Cassies: Due to higher gas prices (driving from Nashville) Sassy Cassies will only be available on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is overflowing with tomato plants, finally. The weather has been too unpredictable to harden them off, but it is time they were in your yard doing that, rather than in mine. All the varieties I am offering this year are heirlooms, and several have very multi-colored fruits. I have added several different varieties to my listings this year. These plants have been inside too long, where they did not get enough light, and are therefore a bit “leggy.” (I had planned to list them by May 1, but the weather has not cooperated.) But if you plant them deeply, they will grow fantastic root systems out of the long underground stem, and bear even larger harvests of fruit because of it. I will be listing them a few at a time, as I get them potted up. If you do not see what you would like this week, please feel free to drop me a request, and I will do my best to fill it. Please remember to harden them off before planting into the full sun vegetable garden, and if you need help with that, drop me a note.
It is also time for Fresh-Cut Herbs, which taste so much better than dried! The selection of herbs will vary from week to week, as my stock plants grow through the summer. If you are looking for something, please drop me a request. I will also have a good selection of herb plants for sale, if you would rather grow your own.
Watch next week for a greatly expanded listing of Hostas to add color and texture variation to your shady areas. And if you have not picked up some astilbes yet, you should get some soon, as they are about to come into bloom. I will also add a good selection of hanging baskets for your porch, both blooming and foliage, but that is all I will say about them for now.
Oh, yes – for the sunny areas – Coneflowers in abundance, and almost starting to show color now. They will be on the market within two weeks, I’d say
Flying S Farms: Chinese Cabbage varieties: Pac Choi, Bok Choi, and Napa available this week along with assorted onions choices and stalks of Green Garlic, Bundled and Loose Leaf Siberian Kale and Red Russian are making an appearance. Our delicious Chicken Eggs are available every week. Due to conflicting appointments our Baked Items and Jams and Jellies will be back on the market soon.

Market News
The heat this week will all but put a stop to the strawberries, but blueberries are right around the corner. The season’s changing, and that’s always an exciting culinary time for me as I eat all I can of my favorites before they leave for another year while welcoming back old tasty friends I haven’t seen since last fall. The overlap between the two invites exploration and experience combinations that can only occur for a few short weeks, like this asparagus and cucumber salad: https://savorynature.com/2014/05/28/asparagus-and-cucumber-salad/.
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 masked 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. 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!

Wholesome Harvest Farm WV: Wholesome Harvest Farm online market is open!
Hope everyone has had a great week!
We have more cherry tomatoes this week, and a few black/purple heirloom type tomatoes as well, along with lots of cucumbers and other veggies!
!An IMPORTANT note on the tomatoes!
This year we are selling the tomatoes by the pound in our online market instead of by the piece. It was just too hard to standardize tomato sizes! We’ll make sure you get at least a pound of tomatoes for every pound you order.
See you Wednessday!
Foothills Market: IMPORTANT MESSAGE! Summer Schedule
Foothills Market is going to have an adjusted pickup day and time for the summer. We’ll have pickup on Saturday morning from 8-noon at the Johnson County Community Market on the courthouse square in downtown Clarksville.
As the summer growing season kicks into high gear, our growers are busier than ever trying to manage their farms. Most of the growers already participate in the Johnson County Community Market, so combining Foothills Market pickup with the JCCM means the growers will have to take time away from the farm only one day of the week rather than two.
We hope this will not be an inconvenience for you; if this will be a major problem, please let us know. You’ll still be able to place an order online in advance so that you know you are getting the farm-fresh produce and meats you want. Don’t worry – your order will be kept separate from the items for the in-person market, so there won’t be any confusion when you come for pick-up.
We’ll still have the same selection on the market – maybe even things that won’t be available at the in-person market. Browse the listings, make your selections, and we’ll see you Saturday morning for your order pick-up.
Eat something fresh this week!
