Market News

It’ll just be a quick note this week, so you can get right to ordering. There are 1061 items listed this Christmas week. Two years ago I was excited because there was only 800, so this is fantastic. It’d be no trouble to put together a Locally Grown holiday meal using only ingredients provided by our growers, and I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. And there are even lots of gift baskets and other items suitable for giving. Sylvan Falls Mill has a gluten free almond Noel Log cake that I’m excited about, that might start a new dessert tradition at my house. And there’s so much more from all of our other growers and producers. Such a treat!

We will be operating our normal days and times this week, so we’ll be seeing you on Thursday the 20th as normal. If I get all my ducks in a row, I’ll even have some hot cider and maybe even other goodies to share. The Athens Farmers Market closed for the winter yesterday, but we’ll be going right through non-stop, even on the 27th. Our growers are still going strong, and you can even get vine-ripened tomatoes for your Holiday table!

Thanks so much for your support of Athens Locally Grown, all of our growers, and local food in general. 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!
