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!

New Farmer
Morris Cleveland of Healing Earth Farm joined us as Farmer of the Week this past Thursday. We not only got to meet Morris but also his lovely wife, Annie and their positively adorable daughter, Athena! What a treat to get to know the family! Morris brought Honey, Eggs, Tomatoes, Potatoes and Corn. Things disappeared quickly and a good time was had by all. Unfortunately, when Morris and Annie returned home, it was to find that the storm that had gone through while they were gone decimated their Tomato and Corn Crops! Morris is re-planting and hopes to be with us soon! When I spoke with him on Friday, he said he needed a little time to see what – if anything, is salvageable. Please keep this Farmer and his Family in your prayers!
Our Farmers have been seriously busy taking care of crops and there is a plethora of fresh and local Veggies offered this week!
