Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
I would like to Welcome a new farmer to our group this week. Jolly Farm Beef is a cooperative between Seven Springs farm and Jolly Farm where they produce high choice beef with a focus on quality products for the consumer. This farm is a great local choice for our farmers market as they are in Cadiz and supply the Wallonia Restaurant with all of the beef on the menu. Jolly Farm has a facebook page that can be found at https://www.facebook.com/JollyFarmBeef/?fref=ts . Please help me welcome Jolly Farm Beef to our market this week.
I will see everyone on Friday,
Angela
P.S. If you want to order for the week, but will be out of town this weekend, I can hold onto your order in my refridge and freezer and you can come by the farm next week.

Market News
Now that the schools have finished for the year, Athens officially kicks into slow gear this week. 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. At the beginning of this week, I was lamenting that the summer heat meant the impending end of strawberries, spinach, and asparagus, while at the same time looking forward to the impending arrival of heirloom tomatoes, squash, and lazy afternoons at the pool. Yet by midweek, as I was trying to remember where I’d packed away all my jackets, the weather reminded me that its still spring and I shouldn’t count my tomatoes before they ripen. Here’s hoping for even more cool rain before the summer heat really sets in for good!
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!

DeForest, WI: Availability for Week of May 22, 2016
Do you believe the beautiful day today?!
Unfortunately we did get frost again on Wednesday last week, so the asparagus has really slowed down again and will probably not be available this week. Most of the offerings are from the Hoop House at Forest Run Farm. Kale has been added to the list.
Forest Run Farm is offering vegetable plants and herbs for sale. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, Tomatillos, parsley, kale and kohlrabi. They just started putting tomatoes in the field this past week, so there is plenty of time to get your garden going. Note: CSA punchcards are not valid for plant payment.
Check the list that follows for what is available. Pick up will be Friday from 4-6pm.

Market News
Hello!
We have a great selection of spring veggies for you this week, as well as an amazing selection of meats and other goodies from our other vendors. We still have plenty of greens of all kinds, as well as broccoli and the first summer squashes and zucchini.
The strawberries are on their way out, and there will be a limited selection. However, The Peach Truck is set up next to us now every week, so you will be able to get your fruit!
In farm news, we have sad news to report. Last week there was a devastating fire at Tally’s farm. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the house and her husband’s guitar building shop is fine. However, the barn with 12 years of worth of accumulated farm equipment and supplies, the delivery van, and her greenhouse was totally destroyed. The worst part was her dear family dog, Buddy, was also killed in the fire.
This is a very overwhelming loss, especially heading into the busiest time of the year. However, the loving kindness shown by the community has been truly healing! All of Tally’s family is very grateful for the support.
Because of the fire, the flower bouquets are being delayed another week. The walk0in cooler, which chilled the flowers and veggies after harvest, is gone due to the fire and that impacts the ability to do a good flower harvest. Hopefully, there will be a new system in place in the week ahead, and flowers bouquets can start next week. We appreciate your patience!
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!
John and Tallahassee

Check out the great selection of perennials available. They are hardy and propagated from plants grown in Arkansas for over 30 years. You can see photos of them at the outdoor market near the Market Welcome Station.
