Champaign, OH: Flourish News!
I’ve been speaking with the girls, off and on, this past weekend, and like many of our producers, their flower farm, and surrounding flower farms that they depend on, are battling this crazy drop in temperature.
So, because their niche/passion/belief is to only use florals, locally grown, this puts them on a bit of a set back, for now. They are in Vacation Mode, for the time being, maybe just a few weeks, just so they can wait out the cold snap, and then will be back with their beautiful local floral offerings!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
Champaign, OH: Blue Jacket Dairy!!
It’s their week on the market, right now!!
As you know, they offer just one week a month for your ordering pleasure, so take advantage for Thursday’s pick up!!

Champaign, OH: Monday Comes Knocking!
Monday morning comes so quickly!! Not really in a bad way, but today, for me, it was emerging from a lovely little weekend cocoon of a brief visit from my daughter, who flew in on Friday evening. A lovely bridal shower for one of her best pals, and an early morning Mother’s Day celebration, with her, before she hopped back on a flight to Florida.
I then hosted a Mother’s Day Dessert Party for my own mother, with all of my family, as we toasted all of us with champagne…
I spent the rest of the day diving into a few new books that I received on my birthday, and enjoying an early evening of nothing.
But, this morning found me waking, crazy, and ready to get a weblog out, for the market, organize a few months, upcoming, with my businesses, and just embrace the sunshine!!
I hope that everyone had some sort of lovely celebration, yesterday, honoring your mothers, yourselves, and the fact that mothering does not have to be about mothering children of your own, but most of us become mother of thousands…including pets.
I wanted to give you all the weekend to not be pestered with my ramblings, but here I am, rambling on, again…
The market will close, for orders, tomorrow, and pick up will be, as always, on Thursday!!
Get those orders in…there is so much to choose from!!
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

Special News From:
- Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
- Now is a great time to plant perennials, and Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has a good selection available. Some area
garden centers have had a hard time stocking their shelves this spring, as one of the primary area sources of plants
has closed. I’ve traveled around all over middle Tennessee to source some new baby perennial plants, and am therefore
able to sell the nice ones I’ve been collecting in past years. My market offerings have now been updated, notably including
hostas for shady areas, and fresh cut herbs for your dinner table. In the next couple of weeks, watch for additions of
pepper and tomato plants for the vegetable garden (when they get hardened off), as well as more mid- and
late-season blooming perennials.
- As always, if you are looking for something specific, please contact me, as it’s possible I have a couple in reserve.

Athens Locally Grown: ALG Market Open for May 13
Athens Locally Grown
How to contact us:
Our Website: athens.locallygrown.net

On Thursdays: Here’s a map.
Market News
A special hello to all the mothers out there this week! I hope your families treated you to something a little above and beyond this weekend. It’s been a really slow week, news-wise, what with much of Athens getting ready to go to sleep for the summer. The place doesn’t quite turn into the ghost town I remember in the ‘90s when I moved here, but there’s definitely a change of pace. I see lots of pictures on social media from our farmers busy in the fields, so as many people leave town for a bit, that just means more great fruit and veggies for the rest of us!
I just can’t get enough of this beautiful long spring we’re getting this year, and it looks like this coming week will be more of the same. Usually we’d be seeing the end of the delicate crops like asparagus and strawberries, but at this rate we’ll be seeing both right on into June. And I won’t complain one little bit.
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. 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!
