Foothills Market: First Wednesday Market Deliveries This Week!
If you don’t want to have to wait until the weekend to get your fresh veggies, we’ll have a booth at the Clarksville-Johnson County Community Farmers’ Market this Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m. You can order any of the items listed on the Foothills Market page and have them available for pickup downtown at the farmer’s market.
Our big addition to the market this week is blueberries! We have quarts or gallons available for pre-order.
We’re in the transition from the spring vegetables to the summer season, so we still have a limited amount of spring salad mix, as well as the first of the summer peppers.
Eat something fresh this week!
Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Happy Memorial Day!
This is the usually the unofficial start of the summer. The weather seems to be feeling more like summer.
For me, as a military wife, this is a holiday that really hits home. It is a day that we celebrate our military loved ones that have died giving to their country. I think many of us take for granted the service and freedom that we are afforded thanks to the their commitment to our country. I know I used to before we joined the military almost 19 years ago. I will never take that for granted again. We have lost too many of our military “family”. Our soldiers go into battle regardless of who is in the White House. They are committed to serving for our freedoms. For the wives and children left behind we stand proud next to our soldiers with fear in our hearts that this may be the last time we see them.
I have gotten off track here. My soapbox for all that our soldiers do for us is a long box. Just know that this soldier (husband Ray) that lives in your community is proud to serve you. I know we have many in our community that has served in the past. To them I say thank you, and to those that have given the ulitmate sacrifice of their life, I can only be humbled by what they have given to our country , the freedom that we have because of their life.
See you on Friday,
Angela

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, Week of May 29 2016
Lots of growing things these days with the warmth in the soil; you can see some plants grow just watching them (not quite). Have green garlic and asparagus, rhubarb and lettuces as well as kale, chard and and a new carrot crop.
Special on eggs for next couple weeks, this is your occasion to introduce them to friends. All sizes $2 off, so XL $4, Jumbo $4.75, Large $3.50. Our hens are really prospering on the free range grass, organic feed and fresh air. Happy hens. I’m not quite so happy cuz they eat a pile of feed!
We’ll be doing a first cut of hay this week and I’d really appreciate any offers of help for a few hours. Will likely be thurs and/or friday. Let me know if you’d like to come along, so i can keep you posted. Small chance of rain on thurs is only glitch at the moment.
Now taking orders for roasting chickens, beef and pork sides.
Reminder: I sharpen your chef’s knives with proper equipment so you can really enjoy them. I mill hard red wheat on demand by the kilo, unsifted, wheat germ and all. We have comfrey transplants ready to go and the tree seedlings (red oak, chestnut and black locust) are healthy in the nursery waiting for a new home. I have a few Fredonia grapes I started from slips that may be of interest to you. Good juice and jelly grapes, disease resistant, a cultivar from the Concord.
Healthy Eating,
Ian and Cami

Market News
It’s a holiday Monday, where we remember those fallen in our wars. It’s also the symbolic beginning of summer, marked with cookouts and other outdoor activities. If you’re out there, grilling your locally grown burgers and veggies, please remember those who have left us.
There’s not much new to report this week. Summer veggies are really starting to come in now, and the recent rains and cool nights might keep the spring items around a little longer. We’re at the change of the season now, and everything is very weather dependent. Just a little too much heat will end the spring items, and just not enough sun will keep the summer goodies from ripening. The last few days have been on the hot and dry side and the spring crops will begin struggling if that keeps up, but that can all change day to day.
We’ve running low on our supply of salmon from Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon. Doug and his family are now on their boats, catching fish while the summer weather makes it possible for them to do so. We may not get a fresh supply until the boats get put back in the dock at the end of August, so what we have listed will have to do us for a while. Now’s the time to stock your freezer if you don’t want to go without this summer.
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!

Market News
Hello!
Happy Memorial Day!
We have a great selection of spring veggies for you this week, as well as an amazing selection of meats and other goodies from our other vendors. We still have plenty of greens of all kinds, lots of lettuces for salads and the first summer squash and zucchini.
Tally wants to thank everyone for their kind words and support regarding the barn fire at her farm. The support of the community has been really uplifting. At this point, thanks to insurance, Tally has been able to purchase a new (used) delivery vehicle.
If you have paid ahead of time for bouquets, there are some bouquets available this week for pre-paid members only! On the Market page you can click on the “Pre-paid Bouquet” shopping cart. This will let Tally know you would like a bouquet, but you will not be charged.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
