Dothan, Alabama: Nov. 11, 2023 M@D is Ready for Your Thanksgiving Orders
MISC MARKET NOTES
Ever have days when your thoughts were all jumbled and you kind of struggled to make sense of it all?
This Veteran’s Day has kind of been that way for me. I’ve been close to three veterans in my life – First my Dad who served as an infantry sharp shooter in the mid 1950’s before I was born. The second person was my Uncle Gay Taylor. He was much older than my dad and had cut General Patton’s hair while serving in Europe during WWII. Both Dad and Uncle Gay have passed on. The third person I was privileged to see this week, my Uncle Paul who served in Viet Nam. The fact that he’s home now is a testament to our family’s prayers.
A few years ago at a family gathering Uncle Paul was given a Quilt of Valor in a ceremony. It was a beautiful and moving tribute to his service and I’m thankful there are great quilters all over the country who bless our veterans by donating time, material and money to love on these men this way.
Which brings me to the last jumbled thought – I bumped into Quilts of Valor again recently at the Annual Quilt Show at Landmark Park. Our own Sherry Burkhaulter of Casablanca Ranch organizes this annually and if you’re even remotely interested in quilts you owe it to yourself to pop in there and take in the beauty and craftsmanship next year. It turns out there are local artisans who produce quilts to give local veterans and I guess the sum of these random thoughts is to THANK the veterans for what they’ve given in service to our country and to thank the quilters who take on the task to honor and bless them with their time and talents.

JBW Farm Fresh: Fall is a very important time on our farm. If we don’t focus on what is the highest priorities we can get off track very quickly! Goats and Sheep have a gestation period of 5 months, that means we have to be putting our breeding males in with our females now so that we will be on time for the spring season.
We also have to be looking ahead for the winter months of grazing. Naturally, there won’t be a lot coming up. We have been overseeding some of our pastures with a variety of grasses that will come up when most of the year’s plants are dead.
As you can see, we are constantly having to look ahead to the future, making plans and lists of what all needs to be done to be prepared. Several months ago we made plans for some changes to our storefront location. Just this last week, we saw some of those plans come to life! We hope that some of y’all have seen our new sign outside of our store on HWY 84W. If not, we would love for you to stop by and tell us what you think. About the middle of this month we are going to be getting in some whole hams just in time for the holidays! You can plan ahead and cook some 100% Pasture Raised Ham for THANKSGIVING!
Mt. Moriah Farms: HAPPY VETERANS DAY! I hope everyone has had a wonderful day. Growing up, we always had a cookout or some family outing to celebrate. We have/had a close family member in each branch and like to reminisce on stories that have been passed down. It is the core of who we are as a country and we do not want the love for our military to ever die down. Thank you to all of our customers or local farmers who have served or are currently serving. We appreciate your dedication!
We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. Thank you for your interest and support of our efforts to bring you the healthiest, the freshest and the most delicious locally-produced foods possible!
The Wednesday Market: It's Saturday Night - You May Order Now!
Good evening.

While I am so thankful for the rain because it has not rained in about a month, the weather today is cold and dreary. It’s the perfect evening to stay in and cook up a big batch of chili! That’s what we are going to do.
We hope you have a restful, warm, and cozy weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market!
Thanks,
Beverly

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 after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.
Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!
