Market News
Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful week, just the sort that the cool weather leafy greens love. I’ve fallen behind on my garden plans, but it’s not too late to get some seedlings in the ground for eating all through the winter. This coming weekend, for sure!
ALG operates year-round, even after all of the other area markets close, but there is one week we take off every year: the week of Thanksgiving. We will be open as usual the rest of November, so if there are things you’d like for your Thanksgiving meals, you’ll need to plan ahead and order them early. Naturally, I’ve get asked if I know of any local growers with turkeys available. We have in years past had ALG growers raising turkeys, but most everyone has stopped trying. Domestic turkeys, even heritage breeds, have a really hard time with the heat and humidities of our summers, and so take an enormous amount of labor to raise well. As the holiday gets closer, I may get a few leads on a handful of locally raised heritage turkeys, and if so, I’ll share them with you.
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 runs Saturday mornings at Bishop Park and Wednesday afternoons at Creature Comforts downtown. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market has returned, and you can catch the details on their website here: 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 Saturdays from 9 to noon. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. 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. The city of Monroe has a downtown market on Saturdays, 8:30 to 12:30, and you can learn more here: www.monroedowntown.com/events/monroe-farmers-market. 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: November News for Dawson Harvest
Dawson Harvest for November 9th
November News for Dawson Harvest
HI EVERYBODY!
Lots happening with The Market right now, starting with a nice mix of Vegetables from LEILANI’S GARDENS. Available this week: Green Beans, shelling Peas, Jalapenos, Yellow Squash, Zucchini, and a very tasty Radish mix. Plus, BACK IN TIME FARM has the very first Kale of the season, a tender and delicious Large Leaf!
Secondly, we have run into a snag concerning the sale of SAWNEE ACRES Fresh Turkeys. It turns out The Market, which is considered a Farmer’s Market, can only sell Frozen Turkeys. Fresh processed have to be purchased at the SAWNEE ACRES farm itself. We have made the Turkeys unavailable through our Market but you can still look them up in Our Growers and contact them directly if you want a fresh-processed Bird.
Finally so you can plan ahead, the Dawson Local Harvest will have a special Pre-Thanksgiving Market Pickup on Tuesday, November 20th from 3 to 6 pm. We will open The Market on Sunday night, Nov. 18th as usual, but will close The Market Monday night at 11pm. Pickup will be the next day, Tuesday the 20th so you can order all of the Vegetables, Breads, Desserts, Dips, and more you’ll want for your Thanksgiving. We’ll give you more details as we get closer.
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.

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: Hoodies for the Homeless & Thank you notes
Since we are officially in the season of Thanksgiving, I’d like to share with you 2 opportunities to show kindness and thanks.
One is very close to my 11 year old son’s heart and the other to mine.
Hoodies for the Homeless
My son will be having a Hoodies for the Homeless clothing drive. More details are in his letter below:
Hi, my name is Corey. I’m Mrs. Nora’s son. Last year for Thanksgiving we volunteered for Hosiah Feeds the Hungry and helped with the clothing. We heard many times “are there any hoodies?”. We ran out quick. Someone has to take responsibility. I’m taking up the task with Hoodies for the Homeless. You can drop off any Wednesday pick up day between now and 11/21 (Wed before Thanksgiving). There will be a designated spot inside the pick up area where hoodies can be dropped off.
My hope is that nobody is cold this Thanksgiving. So if you could drop off any hoodies – Large, medium, or small, used or new that would be great.
Thanks :-)
Corey
If you have any questions just let me know. This is not a formal charity, just something he wants to do to help others. We’ll collect the hoodies and deliver Thanksgiving Day to Hosea Helps in Atlanta.
Thank you Notes to Farmers/Vendors
I have lots of scrap paper and have been thinking up ways to upcycle. Thank You notes/cards came to mind! I will have an area at pick up every Wednesday until 11/21 for you to write a little note of thanks to a farmer or vendor and drop in marked box. I’ll have a list of Farmers/Vendors with Names and products so you’ll know who to make it out to. I’ve wanted to do this for awhile and think it’s a small way we can let the farmers/vendors know how much we appreciate what they do for us!
Thank you!!
Nora & Corey
Foothills Market: The Market is Open, November 4
Foothills Market is open for business for the week. The number of vegetables available is starting to dwindle, although we still have several fresh options, including green and yellow beans, yellow squash and zucchini, and pac choi. Amounts are limited, though, so shop early!
We also want to welcome a new vendor to the market. Third Time’s A Charm offers craft items made from recycled or upcycled products. Look for the journals made from muffin boxes, with additional items coming to the market in the weeks ahead.
Shop the market between now and Wednesday evening at 5:00, make your selections, and click the “Place your order” button. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday. Note the pickup time has changed to be from 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Eat something fresh this week! And pick up stocking stuffers for Christmas!
CLG: Tamales! Opening Bell: Eggs, Suet Cakes, Honey, Salad Mix!
Good afternoon!
The Opening Bell email on Sunday afternoon is my attempt to highlight some items available each week so please take just a minute to see what’s going on at the market. Last week about 10 customers qualified for free Jam from Maria’s Homemade Country Fare. #freejam! What’s going to be next…?
This Friday Maria will have her delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup available for dinner takeout.
Scheduling note: We will NOT have market on the Friday after Thanksgiving, November 23rd. Time to stock up on all the food that makes your event special: Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash, Bacon, and how about hostess gifts, like Jam, Jelly, Soap, and Honey.
SEARCH all the Chicken options available: Whole, Tenders, Backs, Livers, Drumsticks, Thighs, etc.
Try growing Garlic & Elephant Garlic in your garden or flower bed. We have sprouted plants available now. Just place them in the ground now and they’ll be green all winter and ready to harvest in early June 2019. Great flavor for many of your favorite dishes!
Cooler temperatures means it’s time to think about feeding our feathered friends over the winter. An easy way to do this is with suet cakes. We will have some on the extras table all season for only $1 each. And we have some homemade birdfeeders to hold the suet cakes. Look for those on the extras table this Friday.
Now is the perfect time to plant perennial flowers that will bloom for years, starting next spring. We have plenty of old-fashioned Hellebores, Shamrock, Red, Yellow, Purple, and Cream Coneflowers, beautiful magenta-flowered rose Campion, white Bee Balm and others. Search PLANT to see everything that’s available now.
This Friday, Doña Estela and her amazing homemade Tamales! She will make them Friday morning and have them at market Friday afternoon. They will be 5 for $7 in 3 flavors: Pork, Chicken, or Jalapeño & Cheese (Organic Jalapenos from Cedar Rock Ridge). To place an order, please add a note to your CLG order, or text me at 501-339-1039. Delicious with sides of refried beans and rice, topped with a bit of salsa and sour cream. They freeze very well so get some for several meals.
Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 550 items available now!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:
