Grower Notes
NEXT SATURDAY!

Don’t forget that the following Saturday the first ever GET GREEN ALABAMA event will be taking place at Dothan Nurseries. Market at Dothan will be there along with some of our regular vendors. We hope to see you there!
RADISHES
Those of you who picked up in Dothan last week may have seen these lovelies from Avalon Farms.

Radishes are one of those vegetables that you either like . . or don’t. Many of us fall in the don’t category. Kathy (of Kathy’s Churpers) nas been sharing on Fridays that radishes are not limited to spring salads and cute culinary roses, but may in fact be roasted and seasoned like other root vegetabes. A quick internet search confirmed that along with many recipes for both roots and the greens. So here’s to trying something different!

MARKET CHITCHAT
Help Solve a Market Mystery – On Friday two bags of Mayim’s Spring Salad Mix seems to have vanished into thin air. Nobody is going hungry because of it but we are very curious about what happened to them. If they accidentally wound up in your bag please keep them, but do let us know so that we can improve our service going forward. Many Thanks!
Two of our Market family have completed the Beginner Beekeeping Course offered annually by Wiregrass Beekeepers Association. Both Clifford Judge (Smart Doc Resources) and Patty Basford have earned their . . .wings, stings . . . we’re not sure, but they completed and we’re proud of them as it takes a special kind of person to take that plunge.
New & Relisted Products
- Soothing Salve from Mayim Farms
- UTI Stone Formula from Mayim Farms
- Hawthorne Berry Tincture from Mayim Farms
THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
AVALON FARMS:

What a crazy time of year it is! And what a crazy year for weather! (Over here in Kinston, I’ve actually had frost on the ground twice in the last 2 weeks!! Scared me LOL)
Succession planting allows you to have a continuous supply of quality vegetables available. To do that I have planned to plant squash successions every 3 to 4 weeks. Sounds simple enough, right? In reality the 5 rows of squash planted 3 weeks ago have just come up. I’m assuming it is due to the unusually cool temps. Then, right on schedule, I planted 7 more rows this week. 50 days from now there should be squash everywhere. Ha Ha

Been working on root crop production. So proud of my raised beds of carrots. Finally, good germination. Woo Hoo Tried an old trick I’d heard of and covered the beds with burlap bags. Watered twice a day. And surprise, baby carrot plants!
Other root crops currently available and coming soon: red radishes, Easter egg radish assortment, watermelon radishes, just right turnips, salad turnips, red potatoes and 2 kinds of fingerlings.
Smart Doc Resources Virginia is headed back to Africa for a few more weeks. If you have any summer clothing or children’s arts supplies to donate please take it to the donation box at the Market Shed ASAP. Microgreens will continue to be on the Market as Clifford will be holding down the fort here in Dothan in her absence.

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m.
If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION right after you order then your order is NOT complete. Log back in and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out!
