Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN!N
HAPPY NEW YEAR AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN!
In planning for 2015, we hope you’ll commit to some of our upcoming volunteer opportunities. What a great and delicious way to make a difference in the community!
SAT, JAN 24 – 100 IN HARRISBURG RAISED BED PROJECT … Join us and volunteers from Trinity on the Hill UMC for a Day of Service on Saturday, January 24. We’ll be putting in more raised beds throughout Harrisburg. We’ve put in 42 so far … with 58 more to go! Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org if you can help.
FRI, JAN 30 – TEDX AUGUSTA … This year’s theme is “Connections.” What better way to exemplify that theme than to connect local folks to local farmers!? We’ll be providing the morning break food for all participants and we’ll need lots of help to do so! Come ready to give your own one-on-one “Ted Talk” about local foods to everyone you meet.
MON, FEB 2 – WTF* LOCAL FOOD FILM & MEDIA SERIES … Starting in February, we’ll host a monthly media showing of the deeply significant and often alarming issues facing our modern food culture. The series will be “Stone Soup” style … you bring a seasonal ingredient; we’ll throw it in the pot and eat together. First up: an audio lecture on “glyphosate” from a seasoned, activist farmer. Location TBA. *WTF = We Trust (our) Farmers.
SAT, MAR 14 – FARM TOUR & WORKSHOP AT ADDERSON’S FRESH PRODUCE … One of the CSRA’s most beloved organic farms is planning an educational farm tour and workshop in mid-March, and Augusta Locally Grown will be helping! We’ll need several volunteers at this wonderful veggie farm setting in Keysville, GA. Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org to help.
WED, MAR 18-19 – THE GEORGIA DIETETICS CONFERENCE will be held in Augusta this year. Organizer Lauren Belcher has invited ALG to provide an educational booth on local foods. Volunteers will be needed on both days! Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org to help.
SAT, MAR 21 – GROW HARRISBURG URBAN FARM FEAST … this one’s gonna be awesome … more details soon!
SUN, MAR 22 – THREE FARM TOUR AND PROGRESSIVE MEAL … Spring will bring us yet another 3-farm tour … this one at JandL Farm & Stable, Noah’s Farm & Forest, and Spirit Creek Farms. Volunteers will be needed for this one too!!
SAT, APR 25 – BENDERDINKER! Yep, we’ll need a hundred volunteers for this one too!!!!!!!!!!
OTHER NEWS:
SAVANNAH RIVER FARM CONTEST WINNER: “Hand over the filet mignon and no one gets hurt” was the winning photo caption for the $100 prize. Congratulations to wordsmith Judi Ross! Of course, we can’t all write winning captions, but Savannah River Farm’s got their annual new year’s sales going on right now … so everyone wins this time around.
DOWNTOWN PICK UP LOCATION: Sadly, the West End Market & Bakery has announced its closing as of the new year. We wish the Johnson family health and wellness in their transition back to the farm. ALG will continue to use the store front on Broad Street for its weekly pick-up and local food education.
SEE YOU ALL AT THE MARKET ON TUESDAY.

Best,

Champaign, OH: Happy 2015!
We are back! Did you miss us? Are you ready to kick off another new year with us? Did you have a lovely holiday?
I hope that you all experienced peace and love and joy! I hope that your hearts and souls were alive in holiday cheer!
And now we are in the first day of the brand new year. Do you make resolutions? Do you make a plan?
I never make resolutions but I do pick a theme to carry me through each year. A mantra. Something that speaks to just me…I also am never about wiping the slate clean for the new year. My motto is to continue the momentum, continue the drive, continue the vision, continue the love and tears that go into life, goals, highs and lows.
2015…may it bring each of you what you desire!
2015….may it continue our little local market of love!
Let’s get this party started…Let the good times roll!
It is Thursday and I bring to you the first market of 2015…let the ordering begin!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
