Foothills Market:  The Market is Open!

All the little green things are starting to take off now that we’re seeing some warmer weather and sunshine. Foothills Market has a selection of salad greens. Whether you are a fan of the tender aquaponics spring salad mix, the crunch of the Salanova salad mix, or the peppery taste of arugula, you can find something fresh and full of the taste of spring.

Browse the market between now and Wednesday at 5:00 p.m. We’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday afternoon.

Eat something fresh this week!

CLG:  April 3 OPENING BELL: veggies, meat, plants!

Hello friends

I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Get your orders in for the week! Don’t forget to click on all the tabs to see what is available.

Steve update: The lymphoma has produced a large and very painful open wound. Carissa keeps it cleaned with peroxide and antibacterial daily, and the pain is marginally managed with oxycodone. I just got discharged from the VA hospital after being admitted Friday morning to prevent sepsis from infection. I’m scheduled to undergo CAR T-Cell therapy at UAMS later this month. Serious challenges remain and we’ll deal with them as they come. Thanks to all for the kind words and texts!
PS: Carissa tended our plants during the freeze so we have lots of yellow African marigold plants listed this week. They are small with small unopened buds. They are growing vigorously and can be planted in the ground now to attract pollinators and deter pests. Orange and Spry will be listed in a couple weeks. Get all colors!

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!

GROWER & MARKET NOTES

Good Saturday Afternoon! We just finished the books for the first quarter of 2022 and had to reflect on how very BLESSED we are to do something we love so much. All of our local growers are so thankful for your support of our sustainable ventures, however large or small. At the same time we’re deeply aware of how much you enrich our lives with your encouragement, your friendship and the knowledge you freely share whether it be chatting at pickup, business calls that turn into great conversations or Facebook posts. Life is better because of you. It’s one of the things about local interactions that you just don’t get in the produce section or a box from FedEx. Of course they have their place – nobody is denying that – but for real community, you can’t beat dealing with real people.

Do You Like Fresh Herbs? The quality of the new herbs at Dothan Nurseries far surpasses any we’ve run across since . . . well, last year when they had them! If a kitchen garden is your thing we strongly recommend checking them out. The Pesto Basil especially is divine!

HORTON’S FARM: One question that comes up at least once a year concerns sourcing for seed, plants, trees, etc. I wish I could say I have an answer for each question. Seed is easy enough as there are multiple excellent suppliers of top quality organic seed. In my opinion starting from organic seed in organic soil is the ONLY way to be sure it’s organic from seed to plate.

And I have not started anything from seed this year. As it is I’m thrilled to have two of my new raised beds filled with fresh organic material and a few bedding plants in them that will live our their fruitful existence in sustainable luxury. This week I added several tomato varieties.

These sets were planted three days apart. I was pleased by how much the first one (on the left) had grown when the one on the right was planted. We have always planted deep and down: the bottom of a 18-24 inch hole is layered with a bit of Epsom salt, chicken guano, and peat moss. The tomato is stripped of all but the top leaves then planted above all that with only the top leaves above soil. This encourages the existing roots to push deep into the soil while developing new roots on the buried stalk.

So far we have Romas, an heirloom Stripey and yellow salad tomatoes growing. There’s another bed to fill as soon as we get the ground leveled.

A Note About Goat’s Milk: As announced a few weeks ago, selling goats milk in Alabama for human consumption is NOT LEGAL. This is why we request the name of your pet when you order. Well . . . it happened – an order without a pet name – for multiple quarts no less! Mighty Suspicious if you ask me! As it turned out Mrs. Debbie will be using her goat’s milk to make SOAP. Say no more! This is a legal and legitimate use for this product and if soap making is your thing what better than fresh from the source!

Bean Man: Thank you for the reception to our hearty, healthy Ready to Mix Cream of Mushroom Soup last weekend – we’ve already gotten feedback from folks who followed our suggestion about using the leftover soup from casserole base and gravy – if you are dairy free, this is perfect – even if you’re not, it’s a great option. Taking half of the mushrooms for each packet set included (we provide 2 sets of dried Shiitake Mushrooms and 2 sets of dry ingredients per package) and milling them to powder to get a better, more flavorful blend really does make a difference. Each package set makes 6 cups of delicious soup. Look for our Ready to Mix Cream of Chicken Soup next weekend.

In the meantime, and in honor of the typical Tennessee March/early April weather, don’t forget our Fresh Dry Beans, Chili Mix (the Stew meat recipe is provided on the package), Scottish Oatmeal, Gluten Free Flours and our Ready to Mix products for a healthy answer to virtually any weather condition whether hot, cold, wet, windy or in between.

Jams and Jellies this week: Pomegranate Jelly and our 2 most popular Jams; Seriously HOT Strawberry and It’s Hot Peach Habanero. Both of our HOT Jams are delicious used as an appetizer with cheese and crackers, or glaze meats for that little extra zip!
