Market News
There was a blessed break in all the rain, long enough for the ground to mostly dry out (or at least not make squishing noises when walked upon). I took advantage of the break to do a little gardening of my own. My plan had been to do a little container garden on the back of my little patio, which is an easy way to grow a surprisingly large amount of veggies when you don’t have any land to grow in. However, I discovered a little treasure in my neighborhood — a community garden built in 2011 by volunteers with the Athens Land Trust. The garden had fallen into disuse for some reason, but I decided to take it under my wing and bring it back. I didn’t have a garden at all last year, a year of upheaval for me, so it felt really good to get back into the dirt again.
There are a number of community gardens around town, though I suspect more than just mine have fallen into disuse. Like any project that runs on volunteers, the amount of gardening getting done will ebb and flow with the hands available. If you’d like to get involved in bringing and maintaining public gardens for Athens communities, I’m sure the Athens Land Trust and the Community Garden Network would love to hear from you. They have a website where you can find out more: http://www.athenslandtrust.org/community-agriculture/community-garden-network. They have descriptions and other information about some of their current active gardens. I’ll have to let them know that they can add one more resurrected garden back to that list.
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 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. The other area markets are all still closed for the season, I believe. 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!

Market News
Hello!
Despite the cooler temps, it is time to be thinking of summer crops! John will have his tomato plants for sale this week. These plants are raised on John’s farm using organic seed and organic potting mix, and come in a selection of great tasting, tried and true varieties. Next week, Tally will be offering her basil plants, also all organically raised. These will include the classic ‘Genovese’, lemon, lime, purple, and cinnamon varieties. There are also some rosemary plants available this week , started from cuttings from Tally’s 12 year old rosemary plant!
We have a lovely selection of beautiful spring crops for you this week – mostly good greens for salads and for cooking. We know you are all anxiously awaiting our organic strawberries, and they are about 2 weeks away. The crop appears to be a good one this year, so let’s all keep our fingers crossed.
You may have noticed last week we have new bags! This go round they are purple! We do so appreciate you bringing us back our bags when you pick up your order. We also are glad to take egg cartons and any of the plastic bags we give you. We do not at this point have any use for containers, such as plastic berry boxes, that were not ours. We just end up having to take them to the recycling center. No curb side pick up for us in the country.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday
John and Tallahassee
