THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN


WE’RE BUSY ELVES THIS MONTH!

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9
LOCAL GIFTS HOLIDAY BAZAAR
Twinkling lights will create a festive feel at our 3rd annual “Local Gifts Holiday Bazaar” held at the AJCC on-line market pick-up. This mini event is a great place for Columbia County folks to get those locally crafted stocking stuffers!

TUESDAYS, DECEMBER 9 & 16:
BRING YOUR POT TO THE MARKET DAY! In fact, bring a bunch of them! Our holiday project this season is collecting hundreds – maybe thousands? – of used planting pots for donation to the horticulture occupational therapy program for vets at the VA. All sizes, colors, plastic or clay. Bring them to the AJCC or the West End Market, Tue, Dec 9 or 16, 3p-6p.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11:
“100 IN HARRISBURG” PROJECT
Thanks to Macy, Steven, Candace, Chef Dave, Kathleen, Khalea and Charlie, we put in 8 more raised beds yesterday and are now up to 41! Our next big work day will be Thursday, December 11, starting at 9am. Email kim@augustalocallygrown.org if you can help!

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30
NO ON-LINE MARKET
There will be no ALG On-Line Market on Tuesday, December 30. This is the only week each year that we close. Stock up for New Years on December 23rd! We will resume the ALG On-Line Market on January 6.

SAVE THE DATE: FEB 20-21
GEORGIA ORGANICS CONFERENCE
We’d love to see the CSRA make a big splash at the annual Georgia Organics Conference. This February, it’ll be held in Athens. Registration for this event opens on Nov 24. What a great way to network on behalf of our own local foods movement. Visit georgiaorganics.org for more information.
