Yalaha, FL: Getting Ready for Summer Cleaning
Lettuce is very poor now so I’m getting ready for the summer “down” time starting to do clean up/maintenance.
I expect I will be leaving the Market Closed from June 6 through June 26. Some one is always here at the Farm but we don’t have much available anyway so I figure it is the best time to almost shut down for a little while.
Standard Ordering window below.
Order now through 7 am Friday May 21st for May 21st or 22nd Pickup, or tell me when you want to pick up, we have flexibility, I just prefer to harvest early in the day so things are fresh and not all wilted so it is best to get your order in the day before you want to pick up.
We Are Flexible, TELL ME if you want to make special arrangements for produce, I am open and willing especially now. I just need to know the day before so I can harvest anything that needs early morning handling and I like to know when to expect people to show up.
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up! (and if I don’t reply to confirm within a day, bump my e-mail or text me 407-342-8515. Though I have cleaned up my e-mail so hopefully I won’t Miss Anyone.)
Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market
You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then set the number and click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy (it is the little picture right next to the quantity box.) Remember you need to check out before your order will be placed.
Remember to let me know when you want to pick up on Sat or maybe even Friday late afternoon or on Sunday. (If I don’t send you an e-mail confirmation of your order and pick up time, please make sure you checked out and completed your order.)
Champaign, OH: Last Call!
Let this be your last call to get your weekly market orders in by 8am, this morning!
Happy Tuesday, groovy customers!

From Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is overflowing with tomato plants, finally. The weather has been too unpredictable to harden them off, but it’s time they were in your yard doing that, rather than in mine. All the varieties I’m offering this year are heirlooms, and several have very pretty multi-colored fruits. I have added several different varieties to my listings this year. These plants have been inside too long, where they didn’t 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 don’t see what you’d 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’s 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’re looking for something in particular, again, please drop me a request. I will also have a good selection of herb plants for sale, if you’d 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 haven’t 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’s 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’ll be on the market within two weeks, I’d say.

Athens Locally Grown: ALG Market Open for May 20
Athens Locally Grown
How to contact us:
Our Website: athens.locallygrown.net

On Thursdays: Here’s a map.
Market News
School’s done (or very nearly so), the fireflies are out, and the temperatures will be soaring this week — summer’s here! The spring leafy greens will soon take their leave from the Athens-area farms, but the ALG growers further up in the mountains will keep us supplied for quite a while yet. Asparagus and strawberries are starting to wind down, but I saw social media posts this week showing the first ripe blueberries. The changing of the seasons is such an exciting time, and we’re lucky to have growers spread out enough that we see some overlap in what they have to offer us.
You mat have noticed that several of our regular suppliers are absent from our listings this week, but they’re just taking a short break. The Comedian is renovating their bakery and will return soon. Both Back in Time and Cultured Traditions car pool their goods on Thursdays, and they’re away for another week or two but will return. From my social media feeds, it looks like many of you all are also away for a bit, now that’s it’s the safest it has been in over a year to do so. Have fun, stay safe, and we’ll be here when you return!
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 Culinary Kitchen of Athens has started a socially distanced winter market, Saturdays from 11am to 2pm at Hendershots on Prince. 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!
