Market News
Welcome to Fall! Looks like the weather’s not going to waste any time getting to my favorite time of year, with lows in the 50s and highs in the 70s later in the week. This is the ideal weather for the leafy greens and brassicas of Autumn, now just seedlings in the growers’ fields. It won’t be long now, with weather like this, for them to make it to your kitchens. Maybe I’m a little strange, but I’m excited by the prospect of making lots of salads again.
You may notice that Covenant Valley Farm doesn’t have anything listed this week. Nolan Kennedy recently learned he’s facing a battle with cancer, and has begun treatments this week. His wife Annie wanted their regular customers to know that they will be back as soon as they get the treatment plan sorted out, and they’d appreciate any sort of positive thoughts you could send their way.
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 and Wednesday afternoons downtown at Creature Comforts. 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!

Green Fork Farmers Market: No market this Wednesday
Dear Green Fork Farmers Market Customers,
This week is Bikes, Blues, and BBQ! Since our market is on Dickson St., we think it might be best to take this week off because the traffic and parking could be an issue with all of the festivities beginning on Tuesday and Wednesday.
We really appreciate you as customers and will be happy to receive your order next week for our market on Wednesday, October 1.
Hope you have a great week!
