Market News
However you mark the poassing of the season, I hope this week has been a pleasant one for you. I’m the sort who likes to celebrate all the holidays that come around, because why not, but every year each holiday becomes a bit more tinged with sadness when I remember family members and traditions that are no longer here. New traditions (and new family) invariably get added to the mix, but they’re adjacent to, not replacements for, that which is missing. Such a complicated ball of emotions, this time of year creates. It’s part of the human experience, I suppose, and I hope you’re navigating them too as well as can be.
I’m expecting some of the growers have lost track of time, so I’m keeping their side of the market open late. You may want to check back later on Monday or Tuesday to see if new things have been added. Don’t worry about placing multiple orders — we’ll combine them all together come Thursday.
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
Most other area markets are closed down for the season or have moved to winter hours. The Athens Farmers Market has closed for the season. They’ll return in April, and you can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market might still be up and running, Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, and you can find out more here: http://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 on winter hours now on Saturdays from 1-4pm. 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. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. 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!
