Market News
Looks like the weather took a look at the calender and decided to give us something more fitting to the season. We’ve had several freezes now and so so much cold rain, and that will put an end to all of the summer produce that was still making a decent go of things outdoors. Several of our growers do have high tunnels that they’ll be growing in all winter, and between passive solar heating and the occasional application of direct heat, you may see some goodies like beans and tomatoes right on through to spring.
I expect ALG to remain open the weeks of both Christmas and New Year’s. Some of our growers might take time off, but we’ll be here to serve those with items to sell and you who wish to buy them.
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
Most other area markets are starting to close down for the season or move to winter hours. The Athens Farmers Market is still open on Saturdays at Bishop Park. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is up and running, Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, and you can find out more here: http://www.athenslandtrust.org/west-broad-farmers-market/. 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 now on Saturdays from 1-4pm. Folks to the east can check out the Hartwell Farmers Market, which starts bright and early on Saturday morning from 7am to noon, and Tuesday afternoons from noon to 4pm. 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!

Dawson Local Harvest: The Holiday Harvest is Here!
Dawson Local Harvest for December 14th
The Holiday Harvest is Here!
HI EVERYBODY
Updates for This Week’s Market: BACK IN TIME FARM has added a Chicken Broth made from their Certified Naturally Grown birds which is a perfect start for soups, gravies, etc. It joins their Chicken Breasts, Wings, and Chicken Skins (yes, you read that right) which fried are apparently the rage now (like pork rinds?). They are all on the Meats listing. Vegetable-wise The Market has a variety of Lettuces and Salad Mix, plus Kale, Turnip Greens, and Bok Choi. Several varieties of delicious, crunchy Radishes and Turnips are also available.
Don’t forget our amazing Yeast Rolls and Challah to finish off your main courses. Holiday Dessert specialties include Eggnog poundcake with Streusel, Chocolate Gingerbread cookies, and White Chocolate Raspberry Muffins, but MY DAILY BREAD has plenty more to choose from. Entertaining? Look at the Cookie Platters in Fresh Bakery and the Cheese Dips under Salads, Cheese Dips, & More.
How about an Unusual Gift at a Great Value? The Market has a wider choice than you might think, from all-natural Bath & Beauty products, to Organic Jams & Jellieslike Hot Pepper Peach Jam, to Fermented Goodies like Ginger Turmeric Sauerkraut and Garlic Dill Pickles
Take a few minutes to browse through some of the product categories you usually overlook and you’ll find some great Gift Ideas hiding there!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
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! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.

Yalaha, FL: Fermenting anything?
Order now through 5 pm Thursday December 13th for Saturday December 15th Pickup, (or contact me if you want a different day, we do have some flexibility.)
Remember to tell me when you want to pick up!
Hi All, Just want to share that I have been getting back into fermenting again. Let me know if you are interested in getting fresh cultures for Kombucha, Milk Kefir, or Water Kefir. My Kefir grains especially have been growing fast. The Kombucha scoby is a little slower about it and my Jun scoby has been a bit resistant to the idea of replicating (which I understand is kinda common for that particular culture.)
LETTUCE is available.
KALE is available. I have the living green crinkly Kale on Sale this week if anyone wants to get some!
Stock up on kale now for your New Years resolution to eat healthy. Easy to wash/dry/remove stem and Freeze for adding to green smoothie drinks.
Please let me know what micro greens or shoots you are interested in and I can start growing enough to make them available (most take less than 2 weeks.)
Also, if you want me to list super foods like Purslane, let me know, I have it volunteering wild here and I will likely also have nettles come winter/spring season.
Send me a message if you are interested in Getting Channel Catfish.
If you have any particular requests, let me know I’m happy to grow to order.
Sign in to order. https://yalaha.locallygrown.net/market
You have to sign in to see the add to cart button. Then click the add to cart button on the items you want to buy. 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.)

We hope you are warm and cozy and doing something fun indoors today. I’m about to fire up my kitchen and make some mulled cider to take to church this evening for our Christmas sing-a-long. And maybe we’ll have some chili and cornbread for supper.
Stay warm, and we’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
