Market News
It’s a holiday Monday, where we remember those fallen in our wars. It’s also the symbolic beginning of summer, marked with cookouts and other outdoor activities. If you’re out there, grilling your locally grown burgers and veggies, please remember those who have left us.
There’s not much new to report this week. Summer veggies are really starting to come in now, and the predicted rains and cool nights this week might keep the spring items around a little longer. We’re at the change of the season now, and everything is very weather dependent. Just a little too much heat will end the spring items, and just not enough sun will keep the summer goodies from ripening. Right now, it’s been on the hot and dry side and the spring crops have been struggling, but that can all change day to day.
We’ve nearly depleted our supply of salmon from Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon. Doug and his family are now on their boats, catching fish by hand while the summer weather makes it possible for them to do so. We may not get a fresh supply until the boats get put back in the dock at the end of August, so what we have listed will have to do us for a while. Now’s the time to stock your freezer if you don’t want to go without this summer.
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!

What Is “Happy Rich” Pencil Broccoli?
This week we have some ‘Happy Rich’ pencil broccoli organically grown by Rocky Glade Farm. If you are unfamiliar with it, give it a try! It is more of a cooking green than a broccoli – the flowering head is very small, while the greens are large. Al parts are edible.
.
This is how farmer Julie Vaugn of Rocky Glade cooks hers:
“The entire thing is edible . Actually happy rich is much more tender stem wise than the kales (think eating the broccoli stalk tender). I take the whole bunch and with a big knife chop the entire thing in about 1 inch segments. Then I heat up some butter, sauté my onion and bell peppers (I usually freeze a bunch from summer…red are best, but whatever you got) when the onions are tender I throw all of the happy rich in and cover with a plate (I know, I know, but hey I learned to cook this way!) when it is all wilted you can add salt or pepper or some type of asian sauce if you like. I serve this over a bed of rice”
Market News
Hello!
It was a great strawberry season! Boy, they were sweet! However, they are on the decline, so we are not sure how many we will be able to pick this week. We plan on having some available at pick up on Wednesday.
This year we will have The Peach Truck set up next to us for Wednesday deliveries. They will be there at 4:00 – 6:00 every week through their season. We invite The Peach Truck to set up next to us as a service for you, our dear customers! However, please know that we are not responsible for their product – they are a separate entity than Fresh Harvest and we are not affiliated with the farms that grow the peaches that they sell. While ALL of Fresh Harvest’s produce is grown organically, the peaches from The Peach Truck are NOT organic. They are considered “low spray”. If you have further questions about what that means, please contact the Peach Truck directly.
Please remember if you have signed up for the Pre-Paid bouquets, please place your order in the “Pre-Paid Bouquet” box on the Market page.
There of course is a fabulous selection of cheeses up, and Dozen bakery’s delicious, fresh baked artisan bread – the baguette and the country loaf, as well as the brown sugar shortcakes, for instant strawberry shortcake dessert!
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday
John and Tallahassee
