GFM : Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall
I’m so confused. So is the weather man, and the plants.
I made the mistake of putting all my summer clothes away, thinking winter was finally here, only to have to pull some of them out again yesterday.
AND, the garden was done for, I thought and it thought, now I am finding things re-growing. Talk about confused.
Well no matter, just check in with our vendors here with our online market and see what they have available each week during the “off” season.
I would suggest checking Daily before you order on Thursday evening as some of our vendors change or add things during the week.
JUST A HEADS UP: THE ONLINE MARKET WILL BE CLOSED THE WEEK OF THANKSGIVING TO GIVE THIS WRITER A BREAK AND A VACATION.
Keep shopping and if you have questions and need answers you can always call.

Market News
Looks like it’s going to be a beautiful week, just the sort that the cool weather leafy greens love. The cabbages in my garden are really starting to go gang-busters, and I’m hoping the little kohlrabi soon follow suit. I’ve been looking forward to eating those for weeks already.
ALG operates year-round, even after all of the other area markets close, but there is one week we take off every year: the week of Thanksgiving. We will be open as usual the rest of November, so if there are things you’d like for your Thanksgiving meals, you’ll need to plan ahead and order them early. I’ve been asked if I know of any local growers with turkeys available. We have in years past had ALG growers raising turkeys, but most everyone has stopped trying. Domestic turkeys, even heritage breeds, have a really hard time with the heat and humidities of our summers, and so take an enormous amount of labor to raise well. As the holiday gets closer, I may get a few leads on a handful of locally raised heritage turkeys, and if so, I’ll share them with you.
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!
