Joyful Noise Acres Farm: Important information and Final call for milk.
Hi everyone, there seems to be some confusion regarding the milk. I spoke to Lisa at Cherokee Market and to Sam at Cedar Rock Dairy and this is what I am to share with all of you.
First, milk delivery will be on Tuesday at 11am. you can pick up your milk anytime after that barring any unforeseen holdups. If you want grass fed beef or lamb from them, text them what you need and they will send it up with the milk. His prices are comparable to what you have been paying here, maybe a dollar or so cheaper per pound. He will text you your total and y’all can figure out payment options. Text Sam your milk orders(770-490-5190) before 3:00pm on Monday. You can have a standing order or change it every week, he does not mind either way.
Secondly, the winter hours for Cherokee Market are 10-6. There are plenty of wonderful things to purchase there, many you are familiar with as they were offered on our market so I hope you will support her store and make suggestions as to what you may want her to carry.
Third, I will be closing the e-mail account Marybeth@pasturedmeats.com. If you want to stay in touch, please use thesellars@windstream.net. Send me an e-mail if you want to stay informed regarding butter, honey or maple syrup orders.
Blessings to each of you and thank you!
Mary Beth Sellars
Blessings to all

Market Work Day!
To eliminate the congestion of the one lane driveway in and out of Nicole’s Driveway, there is a second driveway that can be used. However, someone has recently dumped a couple of mattresses, roofing material and other trash which prohibits its use until we clean it up! It would take 6-10 people 2 – 4 hours to get it cleaned up! We are scheduling a Volunteer Workday to get this done on Saturday, November 7th from 10:30 – 2:30pm. Please call Maryanne (404-432-4337)or sign up at Market to participate. We need your help! Please volunteer!
Also, I need a Volunteer to be at the top of the driveway this week to direct traffic. Coverage is needed from 2:30pm until 5:30pm. You can volunteer for the entire time or for the following times:
2:30 – 3:30pm
3:30 – 4:30pm
4:30 – 5:30pm
Call Maryanne at 404-432-4337 to Volunteer!
Order now since you are just a click way!

Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
I would like to tell you how magical I find it when I attend Farmers Conferences and meet someone in our area that does not have an outlet to sell their goods. Last weekend is just such a weekend! I met the Rushing’s at the Blueberry Conference in Metcalfe County and we were discussing blueberries, when my lovely husband mentioned that we have an online market. Mr Rushing admitted that he had made apple cider and maple syrup this year. Can you say, “yummy” with me? They anticipate having blueberries and vine berries next summer. How exciting for us!!
I look forward to seeing them on Friday and tasting these wonderful syrups. Please help me welcome Bizzell Bluff Farm into our market. See you on Friday,
Angela

Market News
Hello, and welcome to November! Now that we’re back on Standard Time, it’s easy to lose track of time in the evenings. We start calling everyone who hasn’t picked up their orders on Thursday at 7:30, a half hour before we close at 8pm. I’ve gotten a lot of disconnected and changed phone numbers recently while I’ve called, so be sure to check the phone number on your account and change it if needed. You can do that on the website on the Your Account page. We’ve also had a lot of people arriving early, even before 4pm. We don’t officially open until 4:30 on Thursday, but if the growers all arrive on time and we have everything set, we’ll begin filling orders as soon as they’re early. There’s no advantage to arriving early, however — if a grower runs short on products, they fill the orders in the order they were placed, not the order in which you arrive on Thursday. If you’d like to come early and hang out while we get things together, however, feel free!
We’re glad to have a favorite food producer back after a lengthy absence. The Comerian, now with an actual brick and mortar location in Comer, has returned to ALG. I know people who have made a special trip to the other markets just to get her products, and we’re glad to have her back with us again as well.
It’s hard to believe that November is here already, but it is. Here’s a reminder that we will be taking Thanksgiving week off. We will be open as usual the rest of November, so if there are things you’d like for your Thanksgiving meals, you’ll need to plan ahead and order them early. I’ve been asked if I know of any local growers with turkeys available. We have in years past has ALG growers raising turkeys, but most everyone has stopped trying. Domestic turkeys, even heritage breeds, have a really hard time with the heat and humidities of our summers, and so take an enormous amount of labor to raise well. As the holiday gets closer, I may get a few leads on a handful of locally raised heritage turkeys, and if so, I’ll share them with you.
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 West Broad Farmers Market from the Athens Land Trust is open Saturday mornings and their farm stand is open Tuesday afternoons. They have a website too. A new Athens Sunday market has opened up at the Classic Center, every Sunday from 11 to 4 now through October. They have a website here: http://www.sundaycentermarket.com. 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. 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!
