Hello!
It is hot outside, but we’ve got lots of cool veggies for you! There is still plenty of selection available – salad stuff, grilling stuff, herbs and flowers. There are some new squash varieties up – Zephyr and patty pan.
Let’s hope we get that rain in the next couple of days! We sure need a good soak!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee

Foothills Market: The Season Changes, and So Does the Product List
I was out this morning checking what’s available for the market. The garden peas look sad; they just can’t take the heat. But a couple of rows over I noticed the first of our beans are ready. Green beans, wax beans, and filet beans – we’ll have some of each available. I’ve been pretty conservative about the amounts available this week, but there are lots of small beans on the plants. If we get some rain, we’ll have LOTS of beans next week.
Speaking of having lots of something – our zucchini is producing well, so well in fact, that we’re going to offer some new baked goods this week. If you would like a sweet baked treat without having to heat up your house, maybe you’d like either the zucchini bread or the chocolate zucchini cake.
The blueberry season is winding down, but we still have some quarts available. By next week, we might have a few blackberries to put on the market. The seasons move on….
Place your order between noon today and 10 p.m. Tuesday for pick-up on Wednesday between 5-6:30 p.m. at the farmers’ market on the courthouse square.
Eat something fresh this week!

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Well it appears summer is here. As a person who grew up in Nevada, I am always amazed at the weather here in Western Kentucky. Don’t get me wrong, I really love the fact that we have green fields and trees most of the year, but the weather changes really throw me. In Nevada, storms come from one direction – the west. Here you never know which direction to plan for. Thank goodness we have the weatherman to help us out.
The traditional farmers market is going strong and we hope to see you there too. It is open every Thursday from 4-7pm thru September 15th. Last week we had kids activities brought in by the Art Guild. I hope you will have a chance to stop by and see us there.
See you on Friday,
Angela

Market News
I love how what we have accomplished here in Athens has inspired others far and wide to better the food systems in their own communities. Athens Locally Grown was the world’s first internet farmers market when we started back in 2002, and now there are hundreds. Perhaps not surprisingly, one of the most impressive groups is right next door.
Several years ago, a small group of ALG growers and customers who had been driving to Athens each week from Clayton and other pints north formed their own online market, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown. They now have a thriving network of growers and pickup in three towns. There was a really nice article about how they’ve made eating healthily easier for NE Georgians today in the Gainesville Times, and you can read it here: http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/m/section/199/article/117423/.
One of the events they organize every year is the Georgia Mountain Farm Tour. The 5th annual tour will take place Saturday & Sunday, June 25 & 26, 2016. “With more than a dozen farms and multiple farmtotable restaurants to choose from on the tour, guests can customize their experience by picking the locations they want to visit each day. From pastured animals and historical landmarks to hayrides and honey extracting, everyone will find something that interests them. Passes are only $35 per car ($30 if purchased by June 15!) This is a fun event for families, farmers, backyard gardeners, and local food lovers. Proceeds support the projects of Georgia Mountains Farmers Network. For all the details and to order passes, visit EatWellBuyLocal.org”
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 is open on Saturdays at Bishop Park and Wednesday afternoons downtown at Creature Comforts. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market from the Athens Land Trust is open Saturday mornings and Wednesdays from 11am-2pm in the atrium at St. Mary’s Hospital. They have a website too. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open for the season on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. The Oconee County Farmers Market is open on Saturdays in Watkinsville. Their website is www.oconeefarmersmarket.org. Washington, GA also has a lovely little Saturday market, running from 9-1. 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!
