Tullahoma Locally Grown: Monday, November 2, 2015
Welcome to November.
With more rain today and this week, we remind you to be careful on the roads. In fact, instead of driving to the grocery store, how about shopping at your Tullahoma Locally Grown Market? It is open until Wednesday at noon.
Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market

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!

Recipes
Ginger, Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato*
A magical combination of sweet roots, squash, and spicy ginger!
from thekitchn.com
1 large butternut squash, peeled & seeded
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
3 yellow onions, peeled and sliced thin
1 4-inch piece ginger, peeled and julienned
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon Kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
Preheat oven 400°F.
Cut the butternut squash and sweet potatoes into wedges, about 2 inches each. In a large bowl, combine the squash, sweet potatoes, onions, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to mix all ingredients together.
Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and arrange in a single layer. Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 300°F, and cook for an additional 1 1/2 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 200°F and cook for 1 hour longer. If you are not serving this dish immediately, keep in oven until serving (even if the oven is “off,” the warmth does it good … I even keep it in the oven overnight!).
Market News
Hello!
Happy November! The time change means it’s dark earlier, and we will officially from now on be under the porch up at the church! We are so grateful to the Trinity Presbyterian Church community for allowing us to set up through the winter months. The electric lights and weather protection really make a much more comfortable and efficient delivery!
We have a ton of great veggies on the Market page this week! It is a time of high diversity on the farms, and so many good things to eat! Please enjoy all these offerings now, as soon the icy cold winter days will be here and choices will be much more limited!
Rocky Glade Farm has a special offer on bushel and half bushel boxes of sweet potatoes, so now may be a good time to stock up! This will also be the last week for Thai ginger.
Bear Creek Farm is currently taking pre-orders for Holiday Prime Rib up on the Market, if you want to try something other than turkey for Thanksgiving!
It is time to reserve your Wedge Oak Farm pasture raised turkey for Thanksgiving! Delivery that week will be on Tuesday, November 24th, instead of Wednesday. The turkeys will be frozen, and you will be able to pick them up on Wednesday, November 18th or Tuesday, November 24th.
We need your bags! Please remember to bring us the reusable bags when you pick up .
We appreciate your support, and will see you on Wednesday!
