Market News
Only a couple notes this week and you can get right to ordering. Kathy at Beehanven would like you to know that she’s been a busy little, well, bee making a ton of beeswax candles for you for Halloween and for gifts for the holidays. She’s sold out of her popular designs quickly in years past, and so this year she’s added some new designs and hopes to have even more ready for you. There are quite a few listed on the website already, and she’ll be adding more in the coming weeks. She’ll also be at our “Meet The Grower” table during our October 29th pickup, so you can meet her and see her many candles in person.
Also, I know a few of you know the Dawsons in Watkinsville, and bring some of their raw Jersey milk home to your pets. They are joining Athens Locally Grown and will be bringing their milk into town on Thursday afternoons, saving you the drive out to their farm. Their milk is not yet on the website as I type this, but check back late Monday or Tuesday to see if we were able to get everything in place for a delivery this week. Some of my favorite pets drink milk from the Dawsons’ cows, and I’m looking forward to bringing some home for my own new kitten.
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!

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market isOpen
One sign of oncoming Fall is the planting of Garlic and Onions for a Summer crop. On this long weekend, we have added compost, and chicken litter to our ground. I tilled it in and Hannah and I planted 400 square feet of one or our most favorite crops. All of our crops (broccoli, spinach, peas, kale, beets, carrots and radishes) are in now and all we have to do is wait for them to mature and harvest. Personally I would rather grow in the Fall and Spring. The temps are so much easier to accomplish tasks in. Just this weekend we have shored up some of our leaking water issues, planted, and moved sheep.
See you all on Friday,
Angela
Heirloom Living Market Lilburn: URGENT!!! Please Read!
URGENT
For the last 2 years or so, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the owners of the property at the Crossfit location have generously allowed us space for the Market. We have had our “hub” located there and all deliveries are made to this location. The locale has also been home to the Crossfit Ozone Market pickup. Unfortunately after this Friday, we will no longer have this space to use for our ‘hub’ or for Market pickup. They urgently need the space and we must vacate.
To continue Market we must find space to use to store a fridge, freezer, tables, a bookshelf and cabinet as well as holding Market pickup on Thursday from 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Several of our Farmers make their deliveries on Tuesday and those items must be stored for Thursday Markets.
Can you help or do you know of anyone who has space available in or close to Lawrenceville that would be willing to let us utilize it? Please give me a call as soon as possible if you have any ideas. All three Markets are affected and without finding a viable alternative, the Market will have to close.
Market Closes at 8:00pm Monday!
Thank you to those who have already placed orders!
