Crossfit / Lawrenceville Market Pickup Hours
You may pick up the items you ordered starting at 2:30pm. Market will end at 5:30pm; however, you may pickup later if you have contacted me and you make payment prior to pickup. We now have other payments options available. Please call me on Monday and I will discuss the other options with you and answer any questions. You can reach me at 404-432-4337.
Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to provide you with what you want from the local Farmers/Growers and Producers; but, please understand that Buying Local means supporting those who are committed to providing ‘Local’!
Orders have been low for Cedar Rock Dairy over the last month. Consistency is key. The cows don’t stop producing milk just because we forgot to order! Sam Jones and his helpers work very hard and travel several hours in order for us to enjoy the healthy and wonderful milk produced by his tested A2 cows. These girls enjoy grazing on 1200 of organic pastures and producing milk!
Unfortunately, if our orders don’t increase we stand to lose this great Farmer and the healthy goodness he provides. The quality and taste of the milk produced by Sam’s cows is undeniable!
It takes a lot of work to provide the quality of the products found on our market. The growers and artisans offer us the best products to support the healthy choices we are making. Please consider showing your support for these Farmers and Artisans by ordering their products. Your food dollars matter greatly to these dedicated folks.

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Thank you all for understanding last weeks closure. We had two wonderful graduation ceremonies this weekend. One that we attended at Lyon County High School and one that we put on ourselves at a pavilion in Kuttawa. There were both very meaningful, but I was reminded that there are always different ways to do anything. I am very proud of our two graduates this year. Both worked hard in different ways, and succeeded! One is excited to be going on to college and one is taking a gap year to discover what it is that she wants to do.
I am so thankful for our life here in Kentucky. The opportunities it has given us and the new friends we have made. On this Memorial Day I would like to thank our service members who have served their country and remember those that have fallen for our freedom. For me this is a special day to pamper my husband who is still actively serving in the military at Fort Campbell.
Happy Memorial Day and I will see you on Friday,
Angela

Georgia Farm to Table is bringing lots of fresh vegetable and fruits again this week. According to Christie, the peaches are Certified Naturally Grown and the blueberries are home grown but not certified.

Old99Farm Market: OLd99 Farm, week of May 24 2015
We got through the frost zone, no serious damage to the crops already planted outside. Looks like it’s full steam ahead now with planting the rest of the beds.
Berries look good: strawberries in full bloom and raspberries with flower buds. Currants already ripening up: will have lots of black currants this year. Good for making syrup for pancakes, cold remedies and cordials.
Lovely greens still in good shape. I have to pick the spinach well to reduce the stemmy bits but it’s all tasty! Thanks for the feedback from one regular about that.
So spinach, kale, lettuces, mixed greens, chard, rocket are the list this week for greens.
Healthy eating,
Ian and Cami
DeForest, WI: Availability for Week of May 24

Market News
It’s a holiday Monday, where we remember those fallen in our wars. It’s also the symbolic beginning of summer, marked with cookouts and other outdoor activities. If you’re out there, grilling your locally grown burgers and veggies, please remember those who have left us.
There’s not much new to report this week. Summer veggies are really starting to come in now, and the predicted rains and cool nights this week might keep the spring items around a little longer. We’re at the change of the season now, and everything is very weather dependent. Just a little too much heat will end the spring items, and just not enough sun will keep the summer goodies from ripening. Right now, it’s been on the hot and dry side and the spring crops have been struggling, but that can all change day to day.
We’ve nearly depleted our supply of salmon from Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon. Doug and his family are now on their boats, catching fish by hand while the summer weather makes it possible for them to do so. We may not get a fresh supply until the boats get put back in the dock at the end of August, so what we have listed will have to do us for a while. Now’s the time to stock your freezer if you don’t want to go without this summer.
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!
