Princeton Farm Fresh:  The Market is Open


Another day here on the farm, as we have been up since the dawn and out working the veggies. Right now it is the only time to get things done. I don’t know if it is my aging body or just hotter this summer, but I need to get inside as it heats up for the day. We are back to fighting the deer for our beans and the bugs for everything else. Of course we don’t spray, so we spend many hours a week just hand picking bugs to give to our chickens, who think they are tasty.
Don’t forget to stop by the Traditional Farmers Market on Thursday from 4-7pm and shop from your very own LOCAL FARMERS.
See you on Friday,
Angela

Gwinnett Locally Grown:  MARKET CLOSES AT NOON!


Good morning everyone!

The market will be closing in a few hours, place your orders now! Don't forget to get your essentials: milk, eggs, veggies, chicken, beef, pork. There's a few new items listed under "Ferments" that I think are worth taking a look at.

Hope you guys have a great week and I'll see you tomorrow for pick ups!

We’ll be taking orders up to Friday 9am for pickup Friday 4 to6 or as arranged.
I go to the hospital Monday morning, June 20 for day surgery on my vocal cords. Dear Cami is standing by for most of the week because I’ll be restricted from speaking at all for three days then very limited use of voice for the next two weeks. Sign language and whistles for me!

New produce this week: chard, beet tops, kale, collards, eggplant, some cherry tomatoes, parsley, plus asparagus, eggs, rhubarb, chives, green garlic and sorrel.

Looking forward to seeing you.

Healthy eating

Market News

There’s not much new to report this week. The summer fruits are really starting to come in, from blueberries to blackberries to tomatoes. The veggies are coming along, too. Looks like it’s going to be a scorcher this week, which despite the wonderfully cool weather this weekend will likely finish off most of the tender leafy greens. I think a few growers have lettuce in shade or under cloth, so we shouldn’t have to give up on salads altogether yet.

Thanks 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!

Farmer Rich says that there may be strawberries again on Friday. As of last Friday he didn’t think they would last. It will depend on the heat, humidity and rain or lack there of. If you want strawberries for Friday, put the qty of pints or qts in your comments of your order.
Forest Run Farm will have lots of lettuce again, along with beets and some greens. And there may be half pints of mulberries by Friday.

Hello!

Happy Father’s Day to all the father’s out there – and also to the men who play such a big , positive role in our lives! Hope you all have had a wonderful weekend and have gotten to enjoy the summer sun.

It is officially summer, the longest days of the year! We are abundant with a diversity of crops for you this week. The tomatoes and other summer crops are showing up, and soon we will be overwhelmed with the steady supply of squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes. In the meantime, enjoy some of the remaining end of spring crops that will soon depart and not return until Fall – the greens and lettuces, beets and carrots. Try something new – chiogga beets, kohlrabi, or patty pan squash. It’s also a good time to start making some pickles! We’ve got lots of cucumbers this week!

We have Blueberries this week! Check them out in the “Fruits” section of the Market page! The first picking is always a more limited supply. They will be around for many weeks to come! If we sell out on you, please request some in the comments section. Many times we can meet your order.
These blueberries, as is true with all of the meats, vegetables, and fruits we sell, are grown organically. That means no pesticides or synthetics if any kind on your food or in the soil. Soft fruits are especially prone to carry residual pesticides, and choosing organic is definitely the best way to go!!

The flowers are especially beautiful this week – and there are two different bouquet sizes available to match your needs and/or budget! The sunflowers are definitely in, as well as the first zinnias, celosias, ammi, yarrow, and many more colorful kinds! If you haven’t tried brightening your week with flowers, give it a try and see how happy it makes you!

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!

John and Tallahassee
