South Cumberland Farmer's Market: Market Tomorrow (Tuesday)
Tomorrow’s market is quite large. Please allow the growers to check in before coming to get your order. The pickup times for orders is 4:30 to 6:15. If you are not there by 6:15, your order will be placed in the kitchen and subject to the left-behind fee.
If you cannot pick up your order by 6:15, please contact us by noon (unless, of course, there is a last-minute emergency).
Payments for all left-behind orders need to be received and posted before the next market’s opening on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. Envelopes are on the side of the fridge in the community center. If we have temporarily run out of envelopes, you may make your check out to CFM and mail it to Kir Strobel, 744 Timberwood Trace, Monteagle, TN 37356. Because all the mail goes to Chattanooga before being delivered up here, make sure you mail your payment no later than the day after market.

Yalaha, FL: Market Open July 6-9 ordering window
Market Open for Ordering!
We still only have the Aquaponic Lynx LLC farm products and not many customers yet but the Market is open for ordering.
Since there will be so few possible orders at this point, I will contact anyone who orders to arrange a pick up time. (Could be Friday, Saturday or Sunday, I just need to know when so I have the order ready and I can contain the puppies and open the gate to be ready for you.)
New customers and farmers welcome, just click sign in to create an account.
Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
What a wonderful weekend we have had. The rain held off and allowed all of the festivities to go off without a hitch. Including the traditional farmers market. The rain started 5 minutes after the market closed last week. We had 150 people go through the market last week, which is impressive for a holiday week. In case anyone missed the market, you should come on out and check us out on Thursday between 4-6pm at the Princeton Park (in front of the senior center). We are expecting more farmers this week and more produce will be available each week after this. Your farmers and vendors thank you for your support of this event.
I will see you on Friday,
Angela

Joyful Noise Acres Farm: Don't forget to place your orders before 8:00 pm
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We enjoyed the fireworks in Canton and the Creator’s light show also. The black clouds and thunder set a magnificent backdrop for the fireworks.
The freezers are full of beef, chicken and pork. We have plenty of butter and the cheese is being shipped. One of our fellow food enthusiasts just returned from a road trip where she visited Meadow Valley Farm and the family that makes our butter. She had nothing but good things to say about the people and the operations. I look forward to the pictures she is going to share and hope to share more with all of you.
We have plenty of wonderful vegetables to choose from this week as well as baked goods. Please place your orders before 8:00 pm. WE will see you Wednesday.
Blessings,
Mary Beth

Market News
Hello, all! I’ve not much to report this week. I’m out of the state, up in Missouri to help the community my dad loved and taught say goodbye to him. I won’t be at the ALG pickups on Thursday, but our team of wonderful volunteers will keep everything running in my absence. The volunteers will see you on Thursday, and I’ll see you when I return the following week.
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!
Other Area Farmers Markets
The Athens Farmers Market is open on Saturdays at Bishop Park and Wednesday afternoons downtown at Creature Comforts. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market from the Athens Land Trust is open Saturday mornings and their farm stand is open Tuesday afternoons. They have a website too. A new Athens Sunday market has opened up at the Classic Center, every Sunday from 11 to 4 now through October. They have a website here: http://www.sundaycentermarket.com. The Comer Farmers Market is open in downtown Comer on Saturday mornings. The Oconee County farmers market is open Saturday mornings in front of the Oconee County Courthouse in Watkinsville. The Shields Ethridge Cultivator Market is held monthly in Jefferson. If you know of any markets operating, please let me know.
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!
We thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
