Dothan, Alabama: June 10, 2023 M@D Newsletter - finally here!
Apologies this is so VERY LATE. Ordering has been open since 5pm yesterday and THANK YOU to Mrs. Alice for alerting us that there was a glitch with the newsletter going out at the same time.
MISC MARKET NOTES
Editor’s Note – We love our customers and love the wealth of knowledge and experience they are so willing to share to help others. What follows is from our own Sherrie T. who contributed to this unique website to both educate and warn about hidden environmenal dangers all of us are exposed it. We highly recommend you bookmark this valuable resource.
That’s the first thing you’ll see on the home page of the Fragrance Free Coalition. While there’s not a lot of information about the Fragrance Free Coalition (FFC) itself, it’s obvious that those involved put a LOT of thought, research and development into the poster that follows. Sherrie T. was one of those who poured many hours into its development. While the poster (below)is printable, each part on the website is interactive and when clicked on leads to pages and pages of research showing the dangers of things in our environment that can cause harm. The website linked above is fragrancefreecoalition.com.
JBW Farm Fresh: More fences are going up and the herds are expanding. The ground is getting harder to push posts into so we are having to drill holes to place them into. Yesterday we finished doing the last of our filming for a video of life on our farm. A snippet of what the finished video will look like can be found on our Instagram or Facebook page! We cooked some of our short ribs in the crockpot and they were so tender and delicious. We still have a selection of those up for sale and highly recommend you to try them!
Mt. Moriah Farms: As many of you know Mt. Moriah worked together as a family long before our family started going many directions. We thought you’d enjoy seeing that we’re working on training the next generation! Thank you for your support of our goat milk products!
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!

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!

Champaign, OH: Hello Old Friend
As I am strolling down the garden path
I saw a flower glowing in the dark
It looked so pretty and it was unique
I had to bend down just to have a peek
Hello old friend
Really good to see you once again
Hello old friend
Really good to see you once again…
(Eric Clapton)
Gosh, it was SO good to see so many of you, today, at market pick up!! I love our chats, catching up, and sharing smiles, love, and stories.
This market and it’s customers has always seemed like just a big group of old friends. It’s just a really good feeling wrapped into a really good market, with really good vibes.
I am opening the market for another week of ordering! Please note that I had to put my products back into vacay mode because Hippie and the Farmer are hosting our first event of the season, next Friday night, on sight (I’m sure you have all seen the crazy construction, flower planting, weeding, and the now permanent tent up. We are expanding, and getting ready to unveil the new event venue! A few years in the planning, and now the excitement of the first event, next Friday night!!
ANYWAY, all that to say, I will be super busy, next week, with food prep, and baking, and working on another show stopping dessert!! So, I will be off the market!!
But, there is still so much to choose from!! Make your lists, and get your orders in!!
It’s really good to see you, once again…
XOXO,
Cosmic Pam
