Carolina Foothills, SC: Market is Closed
Hello,
I need to keep the market closed again this week. I have a “meeting” on-line Tuesday with my youngest son’s teacher so she can test him and I don’t know how long it will actually take.
The market will reopen next week. These “meetings” are expected I just never know the day/date until it is given.
Thanks,
Susan.

Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN
I AM COMPLETELY IN AWE OF THIS COMMUNITY. Yesterday, I accidentally opened the on-line market. Chalk it up to excitement. We’d just finalized the details of a new school lunch program and I couldn’t wait to share the news. Amy called a few minute later and gently said, “Kim, it’s Thursday.” I was totally embarrassed! Luckily it was an easy fix: I closed the market back up and sent you all an “oops” message.
What happened next completely blew my mind.
Despite it not being Friday yet, people read the blog. More to the point, they acted on it! In less than 24 hours, the program described below is now 80% funded! I am humbled and grateful. And I am ever-more excited for the big things yet to come to Augusta through this good food movement. Thank you!
GOT GARDEN EXCESS? WANNA DO SOMETHING AWESOME WITH IT?
Partnerships are an amazing thing. We at ALG continue to be awed by the synergy of it all. This time, it’s about putting a new, super healthy, super affordable twist on school lunches. We’re calling it the “Second Sunday School Lunch Making Program.”
Our GROW HARRISBURG partners at St. Luke are sponsoring 9 Harrisburg children this year to attend CH Terrell Academy. This beautiful, high-quality, educational opportunity comes with a catch: these 9 children will have to forgo their free government-sponsored school lunch program in order to attend this alternative school for the whole year. And that’s where the magic begins.
Our GROW HARRISBURG partners at Icebox Ministries are going to teach a once-a-month class to the parents of all nine children. In this class, the parents will make enough hot lunches (stored in the freezer) for their children for the whole entire month! The lunches will be hot, veggie-centric, local, seasonal, crock-pot-based, delicious … and they will cost less than 75 cents per serving. Tasha Alison at Icebox has designed a system that every busy parent will want to know about … and she’s going to start by teaching it to the parents of these 9 children.
In order to do this for the whole school year, we’re gonna need your help. Please contact kim@augustalocallygrown.org if you can donate:
- excess fruits or veggies from your garden (we will accept this for the entire nine-month program)
- a working stand-alone freezer (already donated)
- 100 gallon zip lock bags (already donated)
- $30 to purchase a crockpot for the school (already donated)
- $100 to purchase an electric pressure cooker (already donated
- $135 to sponsor a full month’s worth of lunches for all 9 children (months September-February are already pledged … contact me if you can cover March, April or May!)
Be a part of the transformation. One school lunch at a time.

Request for Prayers
I am a strong believer in the power of prayer. Bruce Wills of My Daily Bread will have surgery on Thursday to replace the leads for his pacemaker. Please pray for the success of the surgery, a swift recovery and peace of mind for Bruce. Also, please keep Dabrielle and their son Brandon in your prayers as well. My Daily Bread will return to the Market next week.
Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks has been diagnosed with a bleeding ulcer. Please pray that this diagnosis and treatment will relieve the issues that she has been living with for quite some time.
