Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  Countdown to Close .... 8:00pm Tonight!


Market Closes at 8:00pm Monday!



Thank you to those who have already placed orders!
Offerings you may want to check out…

Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm has outstanding grass-fed Meats! This week he has added Pig Skin that can be fried up as ‘Pork Rinds’ or prepared for your favorite 4 legged furry friend! Have you tried Heritage Farm’s Chuck Roast! I got another one last week and it was fabulous. I seared it on all sides, then put in Crockpot – added onions, potatoes, celery, garlic, carrots and some spices and WOW! Terrific flavor and texture!


Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great winter veggies! This week they have added Hibiscus Flowers, (great for drying and making Hibiscus Tea), Fennel, Kohlrabi and ‘Cheddar’ Cauliflower. Some of you may remember this Cauliflower which Tammy also offered last year. Slightly orange in color and a mild taste with a creamy texture when cooked!


Don’t forget to check out all of the Organic Baked Good from Dabrielle of My Daily Bread.


Marie of Bakery on Brooks has wonderful Gluten Free offerings. Be sure browse through her offerings!


Carrell Farms has added Alpaca to their offerings! Be adventurous and try some. To me it is a bit sweeter than Pork and delicious! Of course their wonderful Water Buffalo offerings are also available! Try some Soup Bones for wonderful Bone Broth! Add in the Ox Tail for an especially delicious treat! Roasts, steaks, ground …they have it all! Alpaca Sausage will be featured and samples available at all of the Markets this week! Be sure and try some!


Don’t forget to check out Shalley’s line of Skin Care products. My new favorite is her Silky Bamboo Lotion! A little goes a long way – and it feels exquisite on your skin!


Jay and Patti Parsons of Dances With Bees offer both Honey and Natural Skin Care products made with Honey or Beeswax. Patti’s Beeswax Candles are wonderful, also!

Check your Grocery List and get your orders in before 8:00pm this evening for delivery on Thursday!

Heirloom Living Market Hamilton Mill:  PLEASE READ!! Important Market Information


Market Closes at 8:00pm Monday!



Thank you to those who have already placed orders!


In October we found it necessary to establish minimums for each Market. If the minimum is not met after Market close, you will receive an email letting you know that minimum for the Market was not met and you will be given a choice to pick up at the Lawrenceville location or cancellation of your order. We sincerely hope that this will not be the case; however, at the time of this writing the total for the Market is less than 1/2 the required minimum of $650.


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’! Please continue to share the Market with friends and family!

Independence,VA:  Now Taking Orders for Pickup on Friday March 13th


Whoops!
The springtime rush apparently just got the better of us. Michelle just called from on the road to a morning meeting with VA SoFresh, followed by tonight’s meeting of the Appalachian Farmers Market Association meeting in Bristol. We were busy getting her off to the Growers Conference in Asheville over the weekend that we forgot to turn the online market on Friday evening. Soo, the market is now enabled for this week, please forgive the delay and support our vendors. I hear the rooster telling me to hurry down and take care of his charge, let’s hope spring is arriving. Thanks all!
Don

Market News

One of my favorite local yearly events is coming up in a few weeks, the Old-Timey Seed Swap hosted by Grove Creek Farm out in Crawford. They sent me an email about it a few days ago, and I’m just going to repeat it here verbatim:

“18th Annual Old-Timey Seed Swap: Join us for a casual potluck gathering and seed swap April 4th 2015 from 1pm-6pm. With spring around the corner, we’re excited to share our plans for the 18th Annual Old Timey Seed Swap! Originally organized by the UGA Anthropology Department and Professor Dr. Bob Rhoades in 1998, this is a celebration of heirloom seeds, local food sources, traditional agriculture, and good conversation as folks share stories and swap seeds. Why swap seeds? There are hundreds of varieties of heirloom seeds throughout the South with fascinating histories linked to families through generations of seed saving. Since the 1900’s however, thousands of varieties of heirloom vegetables, flowers and fruit have disappeared. Once lost, these varieties can never be recovered —their important genes and a piece of American history are lost forever. Swapping seeds helps preserve the varieties that remain so they can be used for agriculture for years to come- help save them!”

“Bring your heirloom seeds to swap, your questions or your gardening stories and knowledge, picnic blanket or chairs, musical instruments, or even a potluck dish to: Grove Creek Farm 10 Legacy Rd. Crawford, GA 30630. Potluck will be at 2pm this year. You don’t have to have seeds to swap- just come to learn how you can help. For updates please visit us on Facebook or www.grovecreekfarm.org. See you in April! NO DOGS PLEASE. Contact us for more information at grovecreekfarm@gmail.com”

I love this event, and try to go every year. Not only is it an opportunity to get a few seeds that I just can’t get anywhere else, but I get to see Grove Creek’s beautiful farm, share food with like-minded people, have great conversations, and just enjoy spending some time outside. I’m looking forward to doing it all again this year.

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 has closed for the winter. You can watch for news during the offseason on their website. The other area markets are also all closed for the season, I believe. If you know of any winter markets operating, please let me know. And they might all be closed, but we’ll be here all year round!

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!
