South Cumberland Food Hub: Time to Order Local Food!
Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub. I trust that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Our family sure did and we enjoyed it even more knowing that some of our food came from our local farmer friends.
The market is back open this week and we still have a great deal to choose from. Crow Mountain Orchard still has apples and they will probably last another couple of weeks or so.
The South Cumberland Food Hub will be open for the first 2 weeks of December and then we will shut down until after the first. We may re open with limited deliveries after that until we resume our full operations in late August. I will keep you all posted as to what we decide to do. Thank you and have a great day!

Martin's Farmstand: December 1
Have you ever wondered what happens during this time of the year on a produce farm? We are not planting, weeding and picking things all the time but rather this season is dominated by mostly maintainance and planning. By the end of the month the seed orders need to be in. In about six weeks it is time to seed tomatoes. We also sleep later in the morning and pay more attention to the childrens school and in general just living. This is a good time of the year for us. I like the long winter evenings. We get to relax a bit and eat the food we have stored away. I will not be writing this webblog every week during the winter however the online market remains open for orders through the winter. Daniel

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Wow, can you believe that it is already December? Where has the year gone? Spring fever is already setting in here at our farm, as I am searching through seed catalogs and planning out the gardens for next year. I spent part of this weekend reading reviews of the best tomatoes of 2014 and making my wish list for 2015 garden.
We will be closed Christmas week and possibly New Years week as we will be taking some time to celebrate with family and getting the market ready for the New Year.
See you on Friday,
Angela

Market News
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It was a late one this year, which means only a few weeks of holiday festivities all crammed together. Christmas is on Thursday this year, which means New Year’s Day is as well. Our current plans are to be closed both weeks. I’ll leave the door open to running on an alternate schedule, depending on our farmers, and I’ll be sure to let you know if that’s what we do.
The Athens Christmas parade will be held this Thursday night, and it will be impossible to get through downtown. Plan your travel accordingly! We do not open until 4:30, but we will start filling orders earlier if the growers have all arrived and unloaded on time. If you’re coming late in the evening, be sure to give downtown a wide berth!
This is the time for holiday artisan markets, and it seems like each year there are more than ever in Athens. I hope to provide a list next week of all the upcoming holiday artisan markets, so please let me know if you know of any you want me to mention particularly. I’ll spread the word when I hear of more as they happen via our Twitter and Facebook feeds. If you don’t already follow them, you can find the addresses right above. You’ve already demonstrated your commitment to buy some of your food from local farmers. Giving gifts made from local artisans is just as important, and can be even more rewarding!
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 is open on Saturdays at Bishop Park. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is open throughout the month here in Athens, and you can find more information about them here: www.athenslandtrust.org. The Washington-Wilkes Farmer’s Market in Washington is open every Saturday 9-12 behind the Washington Courthouse. The Oconee County farmers market is open Saturday mornings in front of the Oconee County Courthouse. The other area markets I haven’t mentioned have yet to open for the season, so far as I 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!
Atlanta Locally Grown: Available for Saturday December 6
I hope this finds you all doing well. I hope every one had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We sure did. Lots of great food and family. We also got to build a few new pigs huts with the extra day off.
We have a nice selection of farm fresh products. Taylorganic has some great produce available and we still have a few hog shares along with lots of great cuts available. We should have a few mushrooms to go along with our garden goodies. Ordering is open until 8pm on Wednesday.
We will see Saturday at your selected delivery location.
Thank you all for your orders. We appreciate every one and enjoy being your farmers.
Thanks again and see you Friday,
Brady
