Cedar Grove Farm: CSA Availability for 11/14
Hi everyone,
The market is open for the week. We will not be at the farmer’s market on Saturday morning, so all the boxes will be dropped off at Lindsey’s on Friday afternoon. Since Lindsey often closes early on Fridays, we are leaving the boxes on a table in the small shed (smokehouse) behind the building. They can be picked up anytime after 4pm.
Thank you

Martin's Farmstand: Weblog Entry
Summer hours (10 am-6 pm Mon-Sat) will be ending on Saturday November 15th. In the meantime you will still find a wonderful spread of late fall vegetables including lots of nice lettuce at the stand and on the website. There are still a lot of nice greens and lettuce in the field. We do not usually get to harvest nice lettuce this late into November.
In the past few weeks we have been filling the coolers and cellers with all the bounty that is still in the fields. This will be available throughout the winter, on our website, at the Potsdam Coop, and at our house on a call ahead or ring the doorbell basis. It is our delight serve you during the winter. Daniel

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: Locally Grown availability - November 12th
Hey local food lovers,
Gonna be short and sweet tonight. We’ve got two big announcements though. First, the Wednesday after this one on November 19th will be our last market day in November. We are usually open the Wednesday before Thanksgiving but this year we’re gonna take that week off. So what that means is this week and next you should order big.
One big recommendation is to replace your big store bought turkey with a whole chicken from Ohana Farms or Smart Chick this holiday. These products are so good and so good for you and your family. Next week I’ll try and give a quick recipe for whole roasted chicken. Or send us yours!
Also, on that Wednesday the 19th we’ll have the state director of the USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service coming to visit our Gainesville location. They are excited about the grant we were just awarded to expand and market Locally Grown all across Hall County. Please plan to order big and bring a friend that week so we can make a great impression!
It’s a great week to eat well. Hope you enjoy this weeks offerings,
Justin, Chuck, Teri, and Andrew
Athens Locally Grown: ALG Market Open for November 13

Market News
The recent time change has sure brought darkness early, and the cold winds of late really make it feel like we’re in the depth of winter. It’s easy to lose track of time in the evenings now, so we start calling everyone who hasn’t picket up their orders on Thursday at 7:30, a half hour before we close at 8pm. I’ve gotten a lot of disconnected and changed phone numbers recently while I’ve called, so be sure to check the phone number on your account and change it if needed. You can do that on the website on the Your Account page.
Here’s also a reminder that we will be taking Thanksgiving week off. We will be open as usual next week, so f there are things you’d like for your Thanksgiving meals, you’ll need to plan ahead and order them early. I do still have a few leads on a handful of locally raised heritage turkeys. If you’re desperately searching for a local turkey, drop me a line and I’ll try and get you in touch with a grower who might have some.
There are also a few local food-related projects trying to get off the ground through crowd-sourcing the funds. Cathy Payne of Broad River Pastures is trying to bring back the American Guinea Hog from the brink of extinction. One was she is doing that is by writing a book about these pigs, and the people who are bringing them back. You can find the campaign and browse all the great perks available to supporters, here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hogs-with-heart-writing-project—2#home. André Gallant, a local food writing you’ve probably read in the Athens Banner-Herald and elsewhere, is writing a book about the Georgia oyster industry. He’s already met his funding goals, but there’s still plenty of time for you to contribute above and beyond and get in on some of the great perks available. You can find his project here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-high-low-tide-help-me-fund-my-oyster-book/x/845178. Finally, Marc Tissenbaum was a long-time ALG volunteer and cashier, one of the first group of market volunteers that came on board back when we set up at Gosford Wine. He recently had to stop helping out at market, though, because he took a new job as a project manager at Nuçi’s Space. It’s a tenuous connect to local food, I grant you, but the project is well worth it. The nominal goal may be to save the R.E.M. steeple from collapse, but the finds they are trying to raise will do so much more toward their mission of providing obstacle-free treatment of depression and other related disorders to the Athens community. They do great work, and their fund-raising goal is an important one. You can find it here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/reconstruction-of-the-steeple—2/x/845178.
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. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is open throughout the week here in Athens, and you can find more information about them here: www.athenslandtrust.org. The Washington-Wilkes Farmer’s Market in Washington is open every Saturday 9-12 behind the Washington Courthouse. The Oconee County farmers market is open Saturday mornings in front of the Oconee County Courthouse. The other area markets I haven’t mentioned have yet to open for the season, so far as I 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!
