CLG: Opening Bell: Tomatoes, Tamales, Beef!
Good afternoon!
It was nice to see all the Tomatoes and Zephyr squash on the extras table on Friday. We should have a similar harvest this Friday So make plans now to pick up your order early. We are normally ready to start by 3 PM. Thanks to Sue and Rusty at Armstead Mountain Farm for all their hard work growing such beautiful food.
Look at all the Buffalo and Beef items now available from Ratchford Farms. Our meat producers usually let me know when they take animals to the processor and this fall looks to be busy for them.
Tamales! Also on Friday, Doña Estela and her amazing homemade Tamales! She will make them Friday morning and have them at market Friday afternoon. They will be 5 for $7 in 3 flavors: Pork, Chicken, or Jalapeño & Cheese. To get an idea of how many she should prepare, please add a note to your order, or text me at 501-339-1039. If you do that, she will have your Tamales labeled for you. She may bring extras too. Delicious with sides of refried beans and rice, topped with a bit of salsa. They freeze very well so get some for several meals.
Be sure to SEARCH for your favorite items using the search field. Over 700 items available now!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders. Click here to start shopping:

*News from Growers"
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: The fall reblooming azaleas are beginning to bloom! It seems a little early to me, but here they are. They’re in very limited supply, so if you want a lovely shrub with a good pop of fall bloom when few other things are blooming, get one quickly! Bonus: they’ll bloom in spring at “regular” azalea time too!
Farrar Farm LLC: Their holiday preorders available this week. Customers can reserve their item by selecting it and paying the deposit. They will order it from their processor and charge for the balance when delivered. Order early to have them for the holidays, lead time could be 2-3 months.
Flying S Farms has added Cushaw Squash, great for pies and baked items as well as decoration. Mountain Merit tomatoes are ready and White Half Runner Beans. Spice up your meals with our selection of HOT Peppers.

Farm News of the Week
Frost Farm Purebred Nubian Goats are so cute, I thought they deserve their own spot in the newsletter, since I missed them last week when introducing the farm as a new producer. They are kept on a diet of fresh hay, Organic Dairy Goat Grain, and whatever forage they happen upon while roaming the pastures of Frost Farm. And now, a small number of these cuties can be yours!

Daniel Tidwell from Triple T Farms writes:
We picked up a new animal from the processor and we’ll get the new inventory on the market for this week.
Three generations of the Tidwell family raise a herd of approximately 75 grass fed beef without the use of growth hormones or antibiotics. Grass-fed beef has less saturated fat and more Omega 3 fatty acids than grain-fed beef, making grass fed beef a valuable part of a heart healthy diet.

FALL FOOD CLASSES
Last week we announced our Fall Farmer’s Market on Oct. 13, Oct. 27 and November 10.
Well, that’s not all . . .
If these faces look familiar it’s because each of them has been with Market at Dothan a long time and have presented from their wealth of knowledge previously. Classes will take place at 10am at the Market Shed on the dates below. All of our presenters manage and /or have regained their health through diet and nutrition. You’ll find these ladies full of knowledge, wisdom and compassion as they share from their experience and hearts.
Oct. 13, Healthy Food Preservation with Melody Forsythe-Jeschke Mrs. Melody has forgot more about successful preservation of sustainable foods than most of us can learn in a lifetime. If you remember the green onion refrigerator photo from a few weeks ago . . . well, that was her onions in her refrigerator.
Oct. 27, Susan Avello, the Lean Bean Chef will be sharing from her wealth of knowledge about sustainable healthy eating. You don’t want to miss this!
Nov. 10, Water & Milk Keifer with Katherine Johnson. Katherine is a busy mom of four boys and probably knows more about healthy gut bacteria than anyone in the Wiregrass after beating cancer.
WOO-HOO!
Some of you may remember that Jessica Kelton who is a Regional Agent specializing in Farm and Agribusiness Management for the Alabama Cooperative Extension System visited us a few weeks ago.
The article she wrote for the Auburn University Office of Sustainability was published on their website a few days ago. They graciously gave us early access to it. Your Market Manager thinks Jessica couldn’t have described both the business and the human side of Market at Dothan any better.

MARKET CHITCHAT
I think all of us have been taken back a little by last week’s heat after experiencing such an unusually mild August. My take is that it’s just Summer kicking up her heels in a bit of a hissy fit before being pushed aside. If you’ve not seen it here’s a good laugh to help get through these last weeks of summer.

THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
RICHTER FARMS: Hope everyone is well and adjusting to school schedules and such. Just wanted to let you know I will be out of town this week. I will miss all the sweet smiles and chit chats that we have on market day. Thank you all for your wonderful support and the feedback we receive. Our o are getting bare which is a good thing! We do have pork and goat at Beef, Pork and More located on Ross Clark Cir in Dothan. Love you all, see you soon.
AVALON FARMS: Recently several people asked if we offer a CSA. I would love to provide you all a box (or share) of lovely, sustainable, organic vegetables every week. In a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) you join with your farmer by pre-purchasing a weekly share of what will be produced. Payment is made months before any expected harvest, giving the farmer a little working capital and guaranteeing you the best when it comes available. This also means that you share the risk with your farmer of crop failures. So, until I feel like I can guarantee a reasonable return on your investment of buying a CSA share I just can’t do it. But it’s a dream.
Here’s one of the risks I recently encountered. Garlic seed was ordered several months ago for delivery now. Last week I received an email saying their supply of garlic had tested positive for bad nematodes. I had scheduled to start planting garlic this past week, instead I spent several afternoons searching the internet for garlic seed. Thankfully I found some. Planting will be delayed some but still in the window. Then we wait….till May.
BAIN HOME GARDENS: Hey There Marketeers,
How are you? Have you noticed the days getting shorter? We have. It’s a sign that the seasons are changing. Fall is my second favorite time of the year. I must say that after dealing with the summer pests, I’m excited to start fresh with the fall garden plots; not to mention how beautiful it is to watch the leaves change. We had the privilege of visiting Tennessee during the fall months – BEAUTIFUL!
This week we are listing Basil Infused Olive Oil for the first time. We are thrilled to share as we’ve done this in the past and absolutely adore it! Use your Basil Infused Olive Oil for cooking, seasoning, or to make your own vinaigrette.
Well its back outside for us! Much planting to do over the next few days…starting with this planter box! What a mess!!! From our family to yours!
HAWKINS HOMESTEAD: Hello Market Friends,
Last week we spoke to you guys about Fall. This week somebody turned up the heat!! It’s hot! The weather has been out of control this year. We have suffered losses to our crops and sadly even some of our birds.
Our planting schedule has been way off and although we have planned a lot, no matter how much planning is done, weather is always a factor. So if there is excessive rain, too much heat, or no rain at all, plans change and we just have to adapt. Good thing we have back up! We partner with our friends at Bain Home Gardens and as organic farmers we try to support each other. This is what community farming is all about! So I tell people all the time, if we don’t have it…..here’s is where you can get it. They are the closest growers to us in the Wiregrass area.
Both Bain Home Gardens and us here have a few tricks up our sleeve so please be on the lookout for great offerings from us and all our friends at the Market soon.
Coming up we have some stewing hens that will be listed. I’m not sure if it will be this week as Brandon and I have been invited to a summit in Georgia, but be on the lookout on our Facebook and the Market page for details. Until next week. Stay hydrated, be safe, and we thank you for your continued support.
