Now is the time to shop ahead for those extra special Christmas Items.
You know, the one of a kind, that is not available in the Big Box Stores.
Shop Small, with our many online vendors right here.
The same vendors you shop with from May to Oct. during the physical market.
Just because it’s winter, doesn’t mean these small businesses don’t have bills to pay and families to feed.

Market News
Hello again! I hope you all had a pleasant week, able to spend time with loved ones and having time to reflect on the things to be thankful for (even while fretting over the many things out there to fret over).
If you like hanging out with us on Thursdays while we put orders together, this is a great week to do so. Linda from Sylvan Falls Mill up in Rabun Gap will be joining us at the “Meet The Grower” table. She’s not a grower herself, but she does buy much of the grains that she grinds in her mill from growers throughout the North Georgia mountains, and bakes them up into the most wonderful items which she serves at her bed and breakfast there at the mill and sells through ALG and other markets. I wait all year for her fantastic noël log cakes, available only in December. Every year growing up, my mother made similar cakes for our holiday parties, and so besides being delicious, Linda’s cakes bring back wonderful memories for me. I’m going to have to quickly finish all the desserts I made for Thanksgiving so I can make room in my kitchen for one of these cakes this week.
This is the time for holiday artisan markets, and it seems like each year there are more than ever in Athens. I know many of you either sell or shop at these markets, so please let me know if you know of any you want me to mention particularly. I’ll spread the word when I hear of more as they happen via our Twitter and Facebook feeds. If you don’t already follow them, you can find the addresses right above. One of the largest artisan markets is this coming weekend, run by Indie South over on Chase Street, and it’s their tenth anniversary of holding this market. You can learn more on their Facebook event page here: https://www.facebook.com/events/155953698473109/. Perhaps the longest-running market is the Athens Holiday Market at Big City Bread, on December 14 & 15. Their FB page is at https://www.facebook.com/athensholidaymarket/. You’ve already demonstrated your commitment to buy some of your food from local farmers. Giving gifts made from local artisans is just as important, and can be even more rewarding!
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
Most other area markets are starting to close down for the season or move to winter hours. The Athens Farmers Market is still open on Saturdays at Bishop Park. You can catch the news on their website. The West Broad Farmers Market is up and running, Saturdays from 9am to 1pm, and you can find out more here: http://www.athenslandtrust.org/west-broad-farmers-market/. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. Washington, GA also has a lovely little Saturday market, running on winter hours now on Saturdays from 1-4pm. Folks to the east can check out the Hartwell Farmers Market, which starts bright and early on Saturday morning from 7am to noon, and Tuesday afternoons from noon to 4pm. You can learn all about them here: www.washingtonfarmersmkt.com. If you know of any other area 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!

Goat’s Milk Soap is so beneficial to your skin due to it’s high content of alpha-hydroxy acids and essential nutrients and vitamins.

Want to share an amazing appetizer tray with your loved ones at the holiday festivities?

Or select a few of their cheeses, add some crackers and place in a handsome basket for a thoughtful hostess gift.
Golden Farms Malting Although the Golden’s are going away for a few weeks, we do currently have a few bags of their delicious (and nutritious) Organic Sprouted Spelt (Wheat) Flour on hand. A wonderful hearty, nutty flavor, can be used straight or mixed with regular flour for a lighter texture.
