Augusta Locally Grown:  THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN


A mountain of long-sleeved laundry proves my kids are all home from college; there’s a big-ol’ Kakalakhi Farm chicken in the oven, dressed with Lazy Willow Farm carrots and potatoes and Slippery Slope rosemary and sage; my dog is chewing on a wrapping paper roll because we’re plum out of Tink’s bones. It must be the holidays!

Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate the wonderous festival of lights; Merry Christmas to those who celebrate the beautiful miracle of birth. And to all, may your days be merry and bright, healthy and -above all – delicious.

Remember: no market next Tuesday, Dec 29.

HERE ARE SOME LOCAL FOOD OPPORTUNITIES TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE NEW YEAR:

MONDAYS, JAN 5, 12, 26
KIDS WITH A FUTURE … come help make and serve delicious, locally-grown dinners for about 50 youth at the “Kids with a Future” homework tutoring program at St. Luke United Methodist Church in Harrisburg on Monday evenings this January. We’ll be using greens from the teaching garden at St. Luke’s. Donations of other local food items are welcome. Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org to help!

MONDAY, JAN 12

SUNDAY, MAR 22
