Lake Placid Online Farmer's Market: June Market Reminder
Hi All,
To those of you who live in Lake Placid…what a Sunday yesterday, right? At least the power failure was shorter, and in much more appealing weather, than the one in February.
If you were delayed from ordering from the market due to the power failure, this is just a friendly reminder to please order by 10 pm tonight, at which point ordering is closed until the next market period in July.
Also, if you have ordered or plan on ordering, please ensure you can pick up your items promptly on Wednesday. Due to family emergency, we will be leaving Wednesday evening so cannot store food past then. If you need to make special pickup arrangements before then, please let me know. Otherwise, I will call/email when the food arrives.
Have a nice week!

Old99Farm Market: Hay mang today Monday
I have a few helpers thank you indeed for the hearty early response from you. We got the hay cut and baled on the weekend.
Now a few hours to load the wagon and move it to the barn is all that’s left. I could really use a couple of you to come for about 2 hours today starting at 11am. Or when you can.
A couple people on the wagon and a couple in the barn makes it easy on every one.
I thank you all,
Ian

Market News
Earlier this year, it looked like we might have a year without blueberries. Early unseasonably warm weather fooled the blueberry bushes (and many other fruit trees) into blooming in February, and then a deep freeze in early March killed everything off. Blueberry come in three broad varieties — early, mid, and late fruiting types — so it was hard to tell back then just how bad things were. Well, thanks to a very mild spring since then, the bushes have recovered quite nicely, and you’ll find a bounty of berries listed this week. I know I’m going to be stocking up and throwing as many as I can afford in the freezer for later. One of my favorite winter desserts is a blueberry & cranberry crumble, with a 50/50 mix of frozen blueberries and cranberries and crumble mix on top (you don’t even need to add anything else), and I’m already looking forward to those.
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!
