Market News
A special hello to all the mothers out there this week! I hope your families treated you to something a little above and beyond this weekend. It’s been a really slow week, news-wise, what with much of Athens getting ready to go to sleep for the summer. The place doesn’t quite turn into the ghost town I remember in the ‘90s when I moved here, but there’s definitely a change of pace. The recent storms and following heat has done a number of the strawberries, but there should be a second crop ripening soon. I see lots of pictures on social media from our farmers busy in the fields, so as many people leave town for a bit, that just means more great fruit and veggies for the rest of us!
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!
We hope you are enjoying this beautiful day, and getting to spend some time with friends and family. Happy Mother’s Day to all the women out there who share their love and care with the world and all creatures. We appreciate you!
This year we will again be hosting The Peach Truck along side our delivery at Trinity Church. The Peach Truck is a family run business that brings peaches up from Pearson Farm in Georgia. They will begin setting up next to us we believe in the next week or so, and be there through the season. They set up at 4:00, and are there until 6:00 or until they sell out.
These peaches are not local, and are not organic. Because Fresh Harvest has a very strict policy of only selling local and organic produce, we do not take orders for the peaches through us or the website. We have invited them to join us however as a service to you!
Have lots of good stuff this week – new crops are coming in every week this time of year and there is a great diversity of yummy veggies for you!
Please remember we love to have our plastic bags and containers returned to us! If you have bought a plant, we will take those pots back as well. Please only bring us recyclables and reusables that we have given you – not other kinds you get from the store.
Enjoy this beautiful weather!
Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Dawson Local Harvest: UPDATE AVAILABILITY!
Dawson Harvest for May 19th
HI GUYS!
Just a quick reminder to update your website as needed for this week’s Market!
Thanks
Alan, Market Manager
Duette, FL: Happy Mother's Day!
We hope you have all had a beautiful, relaxing Mother’s Day.
This week we feature Swiss Chard.
Since the weather is so warm, spinach is going to seed. Swiss chard can be used in any recipe in the place of spinach and has a similar flavor.
In the spectrum of greens, Swiss chard lies between spinach and kale—not as tender as spinach, not as tough as kale. But like spinach, you can easily sauté it in some olive oil in just a few minutes.
Please have a look at what we can offer this week and place your orders.
Thank you.
