Recipes
Sourdough Crackers
These are thin, crisp, melt in your mouth crackers perfect when needing to use up some of your sourdough discard. From RebootedMom.com
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 150-175 crackers
Delicious sourdough crackers made simply and easily with sourdough discard or unfed starter and seasoned with your favorite herbs!
Ingredients
2 C. sourdough starter (discard – can be unfed) 2 C. all purpose, unbleached flour + additional for rolling out 2 tsp honey 1/2 C. butter, softened (not melted) 2 pinch baking soda 2 tsp salt herbs, seasonings of choice ( I love Rosemary, Sea Salt, and Hot Pepper) additional: sea salt for seasoning, olive oil for brushingInstructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine sourdough starter discard, flour, honey, butter, baking soda and salt in the bowl of your KitchenAid mixer. Mix until combined – add additional flour as needed (1 Tbsp at a time). Dough should be sticky but not too wet. Dump the dough out on a floured counter. Shape it into a log. Cut the dough into six even sections. Roll out one section at a time, covering the others with a damp rag. It’s best to roll out each section on a new piece of parchment paper. Roll to 1/8 inch thick (thinner is better). Brush with olive oil or spray with a mister. Season with sea salt and your herbs of choice. Cut into squares (cracker-size). Lift the parchment and set it on a cookie sheet. Repeat with with each section. Bake at 350 for 12-13 minutes until lightly browned; rotate trays halfway through baking. Allow to cool, and store in a tightly covered jar or container. Should keep for 3-4 days (though they probably won’t last that long!)Market News
We have been busy on the farm with the incredible Maple season we are having. We have already bottled 22 gallons of syrup (equal to our all time high that we bottled in 2019) and we are still boiling!
We have also spent some time this week prepping the high tunnel and trying to repair the heater so that we can start some seeds soon, and have been arranging some birthing pens in the barn with the expectation that kids could arrive in about a week!
Also, we’ve been continueing to make soap, jam, and lip balm in anticipation of a busy year.

Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open and Special Announcement!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
I have a some great news to share with all of you! I was able to connect with a local farm that raises pastured poultry and they have decided to join the market. Please welcome Vandevoir Farms!
Located in Elm Springs, AR, Vandevoir Farms has been raising poultry locally since 2016. The farm started as a commercial free-range chicken operation that offered its birds part-time access to the outdoors. After testing this method, Vandevoir Farms has transitioned to become a small family farm raising poultry on pasture using a variety of movement-based approaches. The Vandevoirs take pride in the care given to their animals by feeding their animals high quality, non-GMO feed, moving their birds to fresh grass and bugs daily, and the consistent fresh air that they provide. Vandevoir Farms currently has a small selection of medium to large whole birds available but will have a new flock of choice cuts and whole birds in time for the Spring market to open.
I couldn’t be more pleased have this farm as part of our market family.
Now you can add chicken to your shopping list. One whole bird can make several meals, plus the frame can be used to make delicious, nutrient rich broth.
Enjoy shopping this week and see you Saturday!

Market News
For a few glorious hours this afternoon, I was reminded that while it seems like it has always been raining and will always be raining, sometimes it is actually not raining and I won’t always have to rely on these gummies I’ve been chewing for my Vitamin D. Other than trim some brambles that popped up in my asparagus patch, I’ve not done any of my own gardening yet because it’s just been too dreary. It’s supposed to rain again tomorrow, but that may be it for the week. And while it’ll be nice to get out there and garden some, keep aware that winter’s not done with us yet, and we’ll be seeing nights dip down below freezing again this weekend. Spring is nearly upon us, but it’s not here yet.
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 on Thursday at Ben’s Bikes at the corner of Pope and Broad Streets from 4:30 to 8pm!
Other Area Farmers Markets
The Athens Farmers Market has closed for the season. They’ll return in the Spring, and you can catch the news on their website. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. Washington, GA also has a lovely little Saturday market, running on winter hours from 1-4. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. If you know of any other area markets operating, please let me know.
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!
