Welcome to the Market!

Our market runs on a tight budget which limits what we are able to do to promote the market and all the wonderful local products our growers provide. Please consider donating $1 (or more) every week to help us grow and spread the word.

YOUR DONATION WILL HELP SUPPORT OUR EDUCATIONAL "KIDS LOCAL FOODS COOKING CLASSES" AT FORT GORDON. Kim Hines of Augusta Locally Grown currently teaches a weekly cooking class for the children (ages 5-15) of active duty military personnel. Hands-on classes focus on seasonality, local ingredients, variety and taste. Each session ends with an “eat and critique” session in which parents are invited to sit and eat with the children when the dish is ready. This program is funded primarily by a grant administered by the Augusta Arts Council. However, there are some costs that are not covered, primarily the cost of staple items like flours, oils and spices, as well as student aprons. Your donation would help cover these costs.

Dog treats can be crazy expensive and they don't have to be. I will teach you about treats that my dog, Tank, loves! There are foods that dogs can't eat that you need to know, like avocado (not local anyway, but who knew?!?). Call 301-938-1595 to schedule your class before the end of the week. I will tell you what foods to buy that are safe, fresh, inexpensive and delicious for your beloved dog.
