Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Ray came home two weeks ago and a lot has been done on the farm since. We are feeling much promise for our future as farmers. We have had 19 ewe lambs and 9 ram lambs in the last two weeks. Meaning we have doubled our herd in less than two weeks. We have had our first set of triplets born on the farm to a very attentive ewe mamma. We are supplementing the smallest little girl in the trio with high hopes that she will catch up to her brothers soon.
Our gardens are being turned into permanent on the ground raised beds with tons of compost being added in. Just this weekend the boys unloaded at least 1 ton of compost and tilled into the beds. We have our high tunnels occultating at the moment with silage tarps in the effort to burn off all of the weeds and weed seeds.
There is still so much to do, but we are making progress.
See you at the market Friday,
Angela and Hannah

Hello, I hope this finds you all doing well. The market is open and ready for orders. The spring veggies are looking good. We have a plethora of new little sprouts popping up. We have some beautiful red and green kale ready along with collards and multicolored lettuce. The green onions and green garlic are also looking great.
Order up some delicious smoked bacon, sausage, pork chops or even some tasty water buffalo.
Thank you for all your support. We will see you on Friday between 5-7 at Copy Central.
Thank you again,

Market News
It’s the time of year where all the other area farmers markets are beginning to open up from their winter slumber. I’ve been told the Comer market is now open on Saturday mornings, and the Athens Farmers Market will be opening this coming Saturday at Bishop Park and then the following Wednesday at Creature Comforts downtown. The Oconee County Farmers Market also opens up on Saturday in downtown Watkinsville. All of these other markets are separate from ALG (including the Athens Farmers Market) but many growers sell at multiple markets. Please support your local farmers and food producers, where ever you’re able to do so!
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!
Other Area Farmers Markets
The Athens Farmers Market opens this coming Saturday. You can find more information on their website. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open for the season on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. The Oconee County Farms Market is open on Saturdays in Watkinsville. Their website is www.oconeefarmersmarket.org The other area markets are also all closed for the season, I believe. If you know of any markets operating, please let me know.

Dawson Local Harvest: NO (April) FOOLIN', This Soup is Delicious!
DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST for April 1st
NO (April) FOOLIN’ This Soup is Delicious!
HI EVERYONE!
I don’t usually do recipe thingies right at the top, but I (and several of our good customers) have a mutual love for Leek Soup, and I wanted to tell you about it. First of all what, you may ask, is a Leek? Well, it’s sorta like a Green Onion on steroids. Big, but milder. It imparts a wonderful base flavor to soups and here’s 2 ways to try it.
POTATO-LEEK SOUP from The Thug Kitchen cookbook (x-rated but funny): 3 med.-large potatoes, 6-8 Baby Leeks (LEILANI’S), an elephant garlic clove, 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable), salt, pepper, and a little fresh Chives and Dill (plants at LEILANI’S). Put a little oil in a big pot, chop up the white parts of the Leeks and saute’ 3-4 minutes, add cubed potatoes and minced garlic and stir 2 minutes, add broth and salt, boil then simmer covered 15 minutes. Blend it all until creamy, add chives then salt & pepper to taste, and finally a little fresh Dill to taste. Yum.
MY FAVORITE VARIATION: Skip the potatoes (or not), do a whole bag of LEILANI’S Baby Leeks and 2 elephant garlic cloves, saute’, add 3 cups of broth, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to reduce volume. Blend, put back in the pot and add a full pint of Heavy Whipping Cream! Add the chives, salt, pepper, a little dill, warm up a Sourdough Round from MY DAILY BREAD with plenty of butter, and make a spectacle of yourself (at least that’s what I do and I ain’t apologizin’!
THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!
REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 7pm.
You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net

The Wednesday Market: Trying Again - The Market is Open
Not meaning to interrupt your Easter celebrations, but I am just letting everyone know that the Wednesday Market is on now. I went through the same routine as I always do every Saturday night, and turned the Market on, but something didn’t “take”. Anyway, it’s on now.
Thanks,
