Princeton Farm Fresh: The Market is Open
Hello Everyone!
Its National Poetry Month. So for today’s weblog I am going treat you to some of my favorite poet’s poetry.
Sky Seasoning by Shel Silverstein
A piece of sky
Broke off and fell
Through the crack in the ceiling
Right into my soup,
KERPLOP!
I really must state
That I usually hate
Lentil soup, but I ate
Every drop!
Delicious delicious
(A bit like plaster),
But so delicious, goodness sake-
I could have eaten a lentil-soup lake.
It’s amazing the difference
A bit of sky can make.
With all this wonderfully warm weather, our farm has sprung into color. The grasses are turning green, the vegetables are beginning to bud, and the animals are all changing into their summer coats. Even us farmers are pulling out our shorts and t-shirts. Hope you all have been getting out and enjoying the sunshine as much as we have. Don’t forget though to order your favorite spring veggies or eggs and milk!
See you on Friday!

Market News
I got to spend some quality time out in the garden this past weekend. Last year I moved to a fairly quiet apartment complex on the west side of town, and had planned on putting in a little container garden on the back of my small 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. There were ten raised beds, all overgrown. I planted four of them (one of which contained perennial herbs that I gave space to grow) and kept watch over them, and let anyone who wanted to share the harvest with me have what they could use. I didn’t keep track, but a lot of food went into the kitchens here. This year, some other people have joined me by adopting beds of their own, and I look forward to seeing what we can all do together.
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.
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 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. The Comer Farmers’ Market is open for the season on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon. Check www.facebook.com/comerfm for more information. The Oconee County Farmers Market is open on Saturdays in Watkinsville. Their website is www.oconeefarmersmarket.org 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!
Foothills Market: No mid-week market this week
Since it’s still early in the season, we won’t have anything available for the Wednesday market this week. However, we’re hoping to have a few things ready by the weekend. Look for an update Thursday morning!
