Grower Notes
WHY EAT SUSTAINABLE
Sustainable eating is about choosing foods that are healthful to our environment AND our bodies. It’s about nourishing ourselves wholly and completely. Providing pleasure but preserving the food system for the future. It leads to healthy, thriving, individuals and communities, as well as a better, more balanced ecosystem.
I am a raving fan of eating sustainable. Not only do I practice it myself, but I provide sustainable, whole ingredients in what I prepare for my clients. Being a part of the Market at Dothan and the local farming community is such a vital part of what I do and who I am as an individual, business owner, and a citizen of the Wiregrass area.
I anxiously look forward to picking up my weekly finds and preparing my recipes for the week both for myself and for my clients. And knowing that I’m not only providing the freshest and best ingredients to my clients but realizing I’m a part of something bigger (the entire process – from the farm to the market – to my kitchen – to my client) is huge!
Here is one of my favorite recipes from items purchased from our growers. I hope you enjoy. And if you make it, find me online and tag me. I’d love to see your photos. You can find me @susanavello on Instagram. Or at Lean Bean Chef on Facebook. Enjoy! And thanks for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community!
ZUCCHINI RIBBON PASTA (Raw/Gluten-Free/Vegetarian)
Ingredients:
Zucchini (3 – 4 medium)
Pesto (Basil, Parsley, Pine Nuts, EVO, Parmesan)
Grape tomatoes
Sunflower Seeds
Shaved Parmesan
Use a veggie peeler to make the zucchini into ribbons until you get down to the seeds, then use the other side. Discard the seeds. Combine your basil, parsley, pine nuts, EVO, parmesan into the processor and blend. Toss the pesto with the zucchini gently. Add your tomatoes, seeds and parmesan.

MARKET CHITCHAT
While the weather is still miserable we thought we’d celebrate the DOG DAYS of summer on August 25. Any pooches that accompany their owners (on leashes please!) will get a natural doggie treat that day. We’re trying hard to get a celebrity pooch to visit as well. . . stay tuned, but do put it on your calendar!
Don’t forget to encourage any folks you know to start their orders this month before the Sept. 1 deadline for new customers. More info is available on our Question & Answer page.
One last bit of news . . . Market of Dothan is now listed on the Alabama Farmer Market Authority website! Like a square peg going into a round hole, they were unable to categorize us as a traditional market with tents everywhere (though we do that sometimes!), but have listed us on the CSA Page
FALL FOOD FESTIVAL UPDATE
Woo Hoo! Classes are starting to come together! So far we have four of eight classes scheduled with some marvelous teachers. We’ll do a shout out to them later but so far these are in the works and more will come!
If you’re just now reading up on this, we will be having a Fall Food Festival and Farmer’s Market starting on Sept. 30. It will be held four times through mid November on the following dates:
The Food Festival/Tent Market will be from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm each of these Saturdays and there will be two classes on healthy food and healthy food choices each week. We hope you’ll make plans to join us.
riday pickup will continue as normal giving regular customers first pickins without having to walk & shop.
THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
HAWKINS HOMESTEAD FARM: This week our focus is planting. We have been ordering organic seeds like crazy, turning over soil, adding compost, and planning half the garden with more summer crops, hoping to beat the first frost date while planning and starting seed trays for cooler season vegetables.
Autumn is my favorite season. I look forward to mild temperatures, turning leaves, and vegetables like sweet potatoes and collards. This year we are growing an heirloom sweet potato variety. It is called Molokai. It has purple flesh and is so tasty! No butter or sugar needed. We hope to offer this treat to all of you soon!
Have you guys tried Richter Farms rosemary?!? Rosemary is favorite around here and although we keep it in the spice cabinet, having it fresh is so much better. Also check out the organic ground beef from Working Cows Dairy! Grass fed beef is the best there is. We were actual customers of Working Cows before we knew they were on the market, so we are loving the convenience of grabbing it here! Why not grab a few onions from Avalon Farms? They offer both sweets and reds. Whatever you buy, we hope you enjoy and thank you from us and all our growers!

Market News
It’s back to school week for both the Athens public schools and UGA, and the town is already a madhouse. It’s easy to get caught up in the new routines and forget about the old, like picking up your ALG orders on Thursday. Please check the phone number on your account to be sure it’s one you can be reached at on a Thursday evening. I start making calls about 7:30, and every week there is someone who has forgotten completely. I know I’d forget myself sometimes if I weren’t already there, so there’s no shame in that.
Last week I mentioned Cathy Payne’s crowdfunding effort for her book on the Guinea Hog, a heritage breed of pig she’s been working to save. She’ll be at our “Meet The Grower” table this week, eager to tell you more about that and her farm, Broad River Pastures. She’d love toy have you stop by and say hi!
Try to enjoy the back-to-school madness this week. Even if you have no little ones yourself in school, the town certainly changes this week from the sleepy small town it’s been the last few months.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!

ALFN Local Food Club: Market
Hope everyone is staying warm and dry this Sunday! We apologize if you didn’t get this email at noon, or if this is a duplicate email. Our website hit a snag and seems to have not sent the market email to some folks when it was originally posted.
The Market is open. We’re all about Geek Eat’s Carrot Curry Hummus this week. They also carry a variety of other flavors, including Rosemary Black Bean and Cilantro Almond Pesto. Mhmmm! Perfect for snack time.
Volunteer: Earn credit and membership for your account by volunteering during our Saturday market.
On the blog today is a great article from longtime ALFN volunteer and board member, Cathi Watkins:
Personally, I volunteer because online ordering helps me plan weekly meals, and I want ALFN to thrive in spite of increasing market pressure… continue reading

Dawson Local Harvest: NEWS from The Dawson Hrvest This Week
Dawson Local Harvest for August 11th
NEWS from The Dawson Harvest This Week
HI EVERYBODY!
There’s some NEWS for The Market this August. First off, FIVE HENS FARMS will be moving soon. Their free-range Pork is excellent, but there is no assurance they’ll be able to resume production at their new farm, so what they have listed will be it for right now. You need to order now while their Pork is still available.
Product Review: I grew up on Daddy’s country fried steak, breaded and slow cooked, and I learned how to cook it from him. In recent years I stopped because I kept getting, tough, gristly cube steak, no matter where we bought it. Well, NO MORE! We ordered some of COPPERHEAD HOMESTEAD’s grass-fed Cubed Steak and it wad wonderful. It’s extremely tender almost like veal scallopine, you can cut it with a fork, and there’s no odd or weird taste. It does taste a little different than “regular” corn-fed beef and it is very lean so you may want to add a little fat (ie. olive oil or an egg to hamburger). But this is a great way to “eat clean and eat healthy”. Look’s in the Meat section for all the cuts they have available.
VEGETABLES This Week: LEILANI’S has several varieties that are back on The Market for this week. Leading the way are several different Eggplants. My present favorites right now are Gretel, a white miniature great for grilling, and Millionaire Asian for “authentic” stir-fry. Elsewhere in Peppers, Big Green and Purple Bells, Jalapenos, and Sweet Bananas. Yellow Squash is back, and both regular Green Zucchini and the bright Yellow Zucchini is coming in, plus 8-balls are in next week. And we’ll manage a couple more orders of Green Beans, but don’t delay on ordering those.
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
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! We guarantee your satisfaction with all products in the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST.
Have a happy and healthy week!
