News from Our Growers:

Quarter Spring Farm: We have updated our selection of available soaps, including two new floral scents. We are also pleased to introduce our all-natural lotion bars to the Stone’s River market. We have several scents available, including a bug repellant variety. If your family loves chicken, now is the time to get them some of the tastiest birds around from your friends at Quarter Spring.

Mama D’s Bakery: Hi everyone! We have everything available this week! We have Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, Strawberry Swirl Bread, Raspberry Swirl Bread, and Apple Cinnamon Swirl Bread, Blueberry Muffins, Crusty French Bread, Organic White Wheat Bread, Mocha Muffins, Chocolate Swiss Roll, Cinnamon Rolls, Caramel Apple Cinnamon Rolls, Blueberry Lemon Yeast Rolls, Banana Bread and Pumpkin Bread (with the option of nuts or not), Bagels(plain, cinnamon-raisin, blueberry, and everything), Donuts (cake and yeast), Cream Cheese Danishes, Pies (chocolate fudge, pecan, chocolate chip pecan, pumpkin and sweet potato), Cookies, Granola and Protein Bars, Yeast Breads, Sourdough Breads, and Fruit Scones. Thanks so much to everybody for your business!!

Sassy Cassies: Due to higher gas prices (driving from Nashville) Sassy Cassies will only be available on the 1st and 3rd weeks of the month.

• So today and tomorrow will be the last opportunity to order our yummy casseroles and yeast rolls for the upcoming holiday, including our May special, Stuffed Poblano Casserole. Our dishes travel well to vacation destinations. We appreciate all our loyal Stones River Market customers.*

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse: Dogwood Valley Greenhouse is overflowing with tomato plants, finally. The weather has been too unpredictable to harden them off, but it is time they were in your yard doing that, rather than in mine. All the varieties I am offering this year are heirlooms, and several have very multi-colored fruits. I have added several different varieties to my listings this year. These plants have been inside too long, where they did not get enough light, and are therefore a bit “leggy.” (I had planned to list them by May 1, but the weather has not cooperated.) But if you plant them deeply, they will grow fantastic root systems out of the long underground stem, and bear even larger harvests of fruit because of it. I will be listing them a few at a time, as I get them potted up. If you do not see what you would like this week, please feel free to drop me a request, and I will do my best to fill it. Please remember to harden them off before planting into the full sun vegetable garden, and if you need help with that, drop me a note.

It is also time for Fresh-Cut Herbs, which taste so much better than dried! The selection of herbs will vary from week to week, as my stock plants grow through the summer. If you are looking for something, please drop me a request. I will also have a good selection of herb plants for sale, if you would rather grow your own.

Watch next week for a greatly expanded listing of Hostas to add color and texture variation to your shady areas. And if you have not picked up some astilbes yet, you should get some soon, as they are about to come into bloom. I will also add a good selection of hanging baskets for your porch, both blooming and foliage, but that is all I will say about them for now.

Oh, yes – for the sunny areas – Coneflowers in abundance, and almost starting to show color now. They will be on the market within two weeks, I’d say.

Flying S Farms: Adding more Chinese Cabbage varieties: Pac Choi, Bok Choi, and Napa available this week along with assorted onions choices. Bundled and Loose Leaf Siberian Kale and Red Russian are making an appearance. Our delicious Chicken Eggs are available every week. Due to conflicting appointments our Baked Items and Jams and Jellies will be back on the market soon.

Thank you for supporting your Locally Grown Market, it means a lot to our Growers and Community by Shopping Local and Staying Local!

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Market is OPEN for ordering!

Dothan, Alabama:  May 15, 2021 M@D Newsletter - Time to Order!

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT M@D?

This week kicks off farmer’s market season, not just in the Wiregrass but pretty much in the whole US of A. While farmer’s markets have been around for many years, they seem to have come into vogue in the last 10 or 15 years becoming a favorite culinary and cultural experience.

What’s not to love? Fresh food is a given, but depending on the size and location other sights, sounds and treats are available. One of my favorite memories, dancing with my little grandson to live bluegrass, happened on opening day of the Memphis Farmer’s Market only four years ago.

Admittedly, M@D is only an open air tent market like that a few times a year. We LOVE setting up in person and interacting with the public, but not doing that as much or as often is one of the things that makes it possible for us to be here for you ALL THE TIME, not just in the summer months.

Another difference is accessibility. Everybody needs healthy nutritious food, but not everybody can even go to a grocery store, let alone walk around outside in the summer heat. Ordering online from the comfort of your home makes it possible for you to get even higher quality of fresh locally grown food.

And since I mentioned QUALITY – all of our vendors with farm produce have been screened to make sure their products line up with M@D’s sustainable standards. It is possible to find sustainably grown foods in traditional farmer’s markets* but that is the exception and not the norm as most growers use traditional methods that include GMO’s, chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

We remain committed to our core values of Fresh, Local, Sustainable, and Year Round and are perfectly ok that it means we’ll never be a huge market. We are just proud and happy to offer you the BEST.

* Avalon Farms will be participating in both Poplar Head and Ozark Farmer’s Market this summer.

HORTONS FARM: Blast From the Past – If you are not a subscriber to the Dothan Nurseries newsletter we highly recommend you do so! We had a bit of fun after last weeks newsletter as JD shared some info with a new herb the Nursery is carrying – a Toothache Plant. The blast from the past part was our blog entry (from 2009!) about the Toothache Trees that grow on our property. It was fun sharing info and while your fearless market manager was on hand Friday I had to check out this new discovery.

I have to tell you – my trees have nothing on this little plant! Just as described, the leaf had an interesting flavor, and just as warned, the little yellow bud made my mouth feel like some kind of cool psychedelic explosion happened in there.

If you want to check out our trees copy and paste this link: https://beemusement101.blogspot.com/2009/09/more-weeds-to-love-well-if-i-keel-over.html . If you are fearless and brave or just up for an adventure, JD’s Tootheache Plant is in the Herb Shed at the Nursery.

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! `

Baked Goods with Organic ingredients
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!
