Cedar Grove Farm: Cedar Grove Farm CSA Availability for July 9
Ever wake up in the middle of the night and remember you forgot to do something? Oh yeah, Dylan and Caitlyn are in Florida for some well deserved R&R, and I was supposed to send the CSA availability message this week.
Okay, we are now open for business and the tomatoes are coming in. Two new items this week are a pint of mixed varieties of cherry tomatoes and our first slicer tomato – Big Boys. Everything else is back from last week. Hope you find some of your favorites.
And, one more reminder – Lindsey’s Culiary Market is open again and the pickups are back at Lindsey’s kitchen and at the new venue of the Downtown Athens Farmers Market at the Creature Comforts Brewery on the corner of Hancock and Pulaski (the old Snow Tire building).
Now I will go back to sleep and let you place your order for this week.
Regards, Jay

DeForest Locally Grown Market News
We welcome Bauman’s Natural Meats and Pheasants to the DeForest Locally Grown Market. They will offer beef, pork, and chicken along with BBQ sauce. As the name implies, Bauman’s all natural meats are grown on pasture in the open air and sunshine. They are selling select items through this market and will be delivering items to the host site at Forest Run Farm Stand for pick up on the 4th Friday of each month ( July 25, Aug 22, Sept. 26, Oct. 24). Their items will appear at Zero (sold out) on weeks with no delivery.
Forest Run Farm is offering lettuce, greens, blackcaps, mulberries and raspberries. Cucumbers, zuchini and a few tomatoes are on the way.
Rusty Dog Coffee offers small batch roasts of 100% Arabica blends.
Note that CSA credit can not be used on meat or coffee, so please pay for them with cash or check made out to Forest Run Farm LLC.
Friday pick up will be 3-6pm at Forest Run Farm in DeForest. Please make alternate arrangements for pick up if needed. CSA members that pick up at Hilldale should arrive between 8 and noon. All Farmstand CSA members can shop at Forest Run Farm’s vendor location at Hilldale Farmers Market: Bring your punchcard. We still recommend pre-ordering so that you get the most variety.
What is a Blackcap?
It is a native black raspberry; and one of the healthiest berries on the planet. They are lower in sugar than most berries and also contain a lot of fiber (around 8 grams per cup). They contain large amounts of anthocyanins. They are also one of the most well-researched berries, especially in the area of cancer prevention.

Market News
Hello! I returned back to town today after being away all week, and everything seems just as I left it. I’ve looked around for local food-related events happening this week to tell you about, but didn’t see any. So, I’ll just keep things short and let you all go right to ordering.
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 city hall. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is open throughout the week 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!
