Dothan, Alabama: 09/11 Market At Dothan Newsletter
A DAY OF REFLECTION
No doubt most of you remember where you were, who you were with, and what you were doing when the attacks of 9/11/2001 happened. Like the moon landing years before, the event was of such significance that people stayed glued to their radio and/or television for hours. Unlike the moon landing that brought us together in a triumph of achievement, the attacks of 9/ll brought us together in shock, dismay, & grief. The moon landing was over in a short time, but 9/11 went on and on day after day, week after week, stretching into years with search, rescue, funerals, cleanup, memorials – all still fresh in our memories. Our grandchildren will fill its ripples years from now just as we still experience the ripples of Pearl Harbor. Hopefully, prayerfully, by then the Middle East will be allies & friends, just as Japan is a friendly nation to us now.
And hopefully, prayerfully, it won’t take a nuclear incident to achieve that.
GROWER & MARKET NOTES
WELCOME to our new customers and IT WAS GREAT TO SEE YOU to our regulars. Even with few vegetables available for a while longer it was a great morning to be in the fresh air and we hope each of you are taking advantage of the cooler temps every chance you get.
By way of ANNOUNCEMENT – Wendy of Avalon Farms will be managing Dothan Pickup next Friday as your regular manager will be at the state beekeepers Fall Conference that day.
We 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!
Martin's Farmstand: Sweet tender lettuce and homegrown grapes
This is September and the farmstand is full of the late summer/early fall bounty. We are overstocked on lettuce at the moment as two plantings are ready at once. Today we are offering one free head of lettuce to each person that comes out. (as supplies last) The watermelons are also very plentiful and on sale. Our grapes vines have yielded nicely this year. We are picking them as needed for the stand. (also u-pick) There are various kinds to chose from. (All seeded slip skin juice type). Canning tomatoes are abundant. Sooner is better than later to get your canning tomatoes as the season goes by quicker than one may think. We encourage our customers to cut a free bouquet of flowers (u-cut) to enjoy as well as take a bouquet to a person whose spirits could use n uplift. Daniel
CLG: Opening Bell: Squash, Chinese Money Plants, Eggs, curry leaf plants!
Hello friends!
Please wear a mask when you pick up your ordered items. Thank you. We will also continue contactless delivery to your vehicle on Fridays for those interested, just call or text 501-339-1039.
Okra, potatoes, zucchini, butternut and acorn squash, pumpkins, tomatoes, jalapeños. Load up now! Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. Mmm, let’s watch some football!
Stock up on that zesty BBQ sauce from Cedar Rock Ridge. We also have perennial curry leaf plants available now. Use the leaves in soups and stews for a life-changing flavor experience that will make you feel invigorated and in-tune with the universe.
And for the first time ever, we have a few of the rare Chinese money plants ready for new homes. These are hard to find and expensive if you do happen to find one. Only 3 available so order now.
It’s the time of year when our gardens start looking bare as we remove the spent tomato and pepper plants, but it’s also a great time to plant some forever onions. Egyptian walking onions, purchased once, will supply you with a lifetime of delicious green onions 12 months a year. These perennial dividing green onions are hardy to -40 degrees. Available in 4-packs.
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! :-)

Gluten Free goodies
Pastured Eggs
See all products
Market stays open from Fridays 9 p.m. until at least 9 p.m. Mondays!
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! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.
COVID19: Thanks for recognizing we can all do our part in operating in the safest way possible. Be on the lookout for the order reminder email with any changes to pickup or ways you can help minimize risk for our volunteers and each other. Thanks for your support!*
