Green Fork Farmers Market: Weekly product list
Dear Green Fork Farmers Market Customers:
NEW this week:
Foundation farm has green heirloom cabbage available. Goes great with potatoes and beef brats, all available at the market. This dense cabbage is also perfect for making your own lacto-fermented sauerkraut at home. Check this out to see how easy it is to do it yourself: http://www.culturesforhealth.com/learn/recipe/natural-fermentation/sauerkraut/
It’s so delicious, you will be amazed. Lacto-fermentation produces super-nutritious food, and you can try it with lots of other veggies too! Right now, beans and squash come to mind while they are in abundance.
Green Fork Farm also has cucumbers available this week, a sweet, light-skinned heirloom variety.
Beyond Organics and Green Fork Farm have a bunch of squash this week, several different kinds to try.
We also have some new, lower prices on many products, so make sure you take a look at everything this week!
Vegetables—Squash, cucumbers, radishes, collards, kale, beet greens, green onions, sorrel, potatoes, onions, garlic, and snap beans.
Herbs—Mint, sage, oregano, fennel, and mixed herb bunches.
Eggs—Pastured, free range chicken and duck eggs.
Meat—Pastured beef, chicken, goat and lamb.
Fermented foods—Sauerkraut, okra, and jalapenos.
Salsa—Made with locally grown and organic ingredients.
Olives and Olive Oil—organic and directly from the grower in California.

Fisher's Produce: Sweet Corn is here!!
Hello Friends,
We are going to start sweet corn harvest on Tuesday morning. The early crop is looking good!
20.00 for a 60 ear bushel here at the farm or 5.00 for 1 dozen.
Local sweet corn in Tulsa is usually sold for around 24.00 for a 50 ear bushel. We will give you a better deal than that! and ours is non-GMO and insecticide free. Of course this means that there will be a bit of worm damage at the end of the cob.. Just chop it off before shucking or grilling.
We are growing the same variety that we have grown for the last several years. Providence, a nice big bicolor Triple Sweet variety with natural genetics.
We will be in Bristow at the Tractor Supply parking lot on Thursday evenings from 5:00 to 6:30 for the next three weeks. We will be bringing all of the sweet corn that we can along with tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, and squash, and whatever other garden veggies we can find in the garden.
Blessings,
Luke
Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Another day here on the farm, as we have been up since the dawn and out working the veggies. Right now it is the only time to get things done. I don’t know if it is my aging body or just hotter this summer, but I need to get inside as it heats up for the day. We are back to fighting the deer for our beans and the bugs for everything else. Of course we don’t spray, so we spend many hours a week just hand picking bugs to give to our chickens, who think they are tasty.
Don’t forget to stop by the Traditional Farmers Market on Thursday from 4-7pm and shop from your very own LOCAL FARMERS.
See you on Friday,
Angela
Gwinnett Locally Grown: MARKET CLOSES AT NOON!
Good morning everyone!
The market will be closing in a few hours, place your orders now! Don't forget to get your essentials: milk, eggs, veggies, chicken, beef, pork. There's a few new items listed under "Ferments" that I think are worth taking a look at.
Hope you guys have a great week and I'll see you tomorrow for pick ups!

Market News
There’s not much new to report this week. The summer fruits are really starting to come in, from blueberries to blackberries to tomatoes. The veggies are coming along, too. Looks like it’s going to be a scorcher this week, which despite the wonderfully cool weather this weekend will likely finish off most of the tender leafy greens. I think a few growers have lettuce in shade or under cloth, so we shouldn’t have to give up on salads altogether yet.
Thanks 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!
