Market News
Happy Labor Day, everyone! I’ve known many hard working laborers in my day, but probably none that work harder than our farmers. Please send a few extra thanks their way next time you’re able.
I don’t have anything specific for the newsletter this week, so I’ll let you get right into ordering. 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!

Market News
Hello!
Happy September, everybody!
The month sure started with some drama, as 9" or so rain fell as the remains of Hurricane Harvey passed over the region. There was some minor crop damage and some typical soil runoff problems, but seems like most farms were spared any major damage. Thankfully!!
We’ve got a great selection this week!! A new selection of late season tomatoes, lots of delicious greens, peppers of all kinds, from sweet to hot! As well as some new varieties of winter squash and lots of great potatoes! Also, don’t let the season end without some more watermelon!! The watermelon and cataloupebare found under the Fruits section of the Market page.
Look to our other vendors to round out the great selection. Wedge Oak Farm has a new Artisan Sausage – mild Italian chicken sausage. Did you know all their artisan sausages are recipe tested and hand made in the commercial kitchen right there on the farm? Pretty cool!
The Bloomy Rind has a large variety of select cheese this week!
We have a new farm with us this week! Check out the Our Growers page and learn more about Athena’s Harvest Farm!
We really appreciate your support!
See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
