Carole Herbs (CS3 Farm): We have more white egg turnips, chives, and both farmed and foraged salad greens and farmed and foraged cooking greens.
Our white egg turnips are (as the name implies) about the size of an egg. Turnips are known for high nutrient count and low calorie density. If you haven’t tried them cubed and soaked in an herbal vinegar and sautéed, or roasted with potatoes, kohlrabi, or beets in olive oil and drizzled with herbal honey, you are missing out!
Check out our chives for a nutritious and delicious onion flavor for omelettes, salads, or dinner meals. They add just the right kick!
Tired of a lettuce-only salad? Our Farmed and Foraged greens are a blend of hand-picked seasonal tame & wild hybrid salad complement or substitute. it’s awesome on sandwiches, and it is quite delicious topping a burger or other sandwich or cooking like spinach or kale.

Dogwood Valley Greenhouse:
It’s Christmas time in Tennessee! Well, not really, but it is time to put in your order for decorations from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. This year I will be selling at Wildwood Christmas Tree Farm in Woodbury, but I want to be sure all my local friends receive the items they want before I take any to the farm. So here is how this will work: prepay the total cost now, and reserve a delivery date. Note: it will be easier for me to fill your order on a later date. I promise I will not run out of wreaths and kissing balls, but it’s hard to make as many as are wanted early in the season. They should last about a month if outside, and will be just as beautiful after Christmas as before. Delivery will begin the first Wednesday of December and continue till all orders are filled. Also available this year: beautiful table basket centerpieces and herb plant baskets. Order and pay now, pick up and enjoy in December. Coming in a month or so: Christmas cacti.
Fungalicious:
As the holiday approaches we find ourselves wondering who would like to have gourmet mushrooms to
pare with their dishes for a wonderful thanksgiving meal. Here at Fungalicious it takes us four weeks
start to finish in order to produce these wonderful delicacies. We would love to make sure that any and
all who wish to have them can so we need to get an idea of what to plan for in the growing cycle. If you
could please send us an email letting us know what you would like and how much it would be greatly
appreciated. This will allow us to plan the harvest for that week.
Body and Soul Teas:
Herbal tea blends for sipping and soaking. My current product line includes herbal tea blends, bath teas, and herbal steams.
Flying S Farms: Cauliflower; Romanesco, Cheddar, Purple and White Holds color better if roasted or baked. Blanch and freeze for later use.

Other produce include Radishes, Turnips, Daikon’s, Kale, Turnips Greens, Winter Squash: Spaghetti, Butternut and Carnival. As well as our Sour Dough Breads in loaves and rolls. We’ll be Jammin’ again this week so be sure to check back. Be sure to watch for our Christmas Jam (Cranberry + Strawberry) and Cowboy Candy (Candied Jalapenos) returning soon.
Look forward seeing you “On the Porch or At the Curb" of Quinn’s Mercantile Wednesday November 11th from 5:00 – 6:30 pm, please contact me if you are unable to make delivery or are running late, please phone, email or text me so we can make arrangements to get your order to you. if we don’t hear from you, your order will be donated and you will be invoiced for the amount since we still need to pay our Growers for their products.

Petalland has added Jerusalem artichokes to our winter vegetable offerings. For those who don’t know (like me), the internet says, “Sunchokes look a little bit like large knobs of ginger. However, a Jerusalem artichoke taste is slightly nutty and savory—like a cross between an artichoke heart and the best potato you’ve ever had.” Uncommon in supermarkets, we are pleased to add them to our listings.
 |
A very short-season item is still available: apple cider. Get yours while we still have some.

 |
Don’t forget to pay the deposit on Wayne Diller’s holiday turkey, and pre-order your Christmas decorations from Petalland and Dogwood Valley Greenhouse.

A WEEK LIKE TO OTHER
The election is behind us and whether you are mourning or rejoicing over the latest news it does not diminish the fact that LIFE WILL GO ON. Just a little bit ago I saw a satire article about how the red party was demonstrating by going about life as usual.
Those words, “life as usual” . . . they don’t mean what they did a year ago! A year ago we didn’t have to stay 6 feet apart. A year ago walking into a bank wearing a mask would probably get you arrested. Now they won’t let you in without one! A year ago health department mandated quarantine was unheard of but it happens all the time now.
So while “usual” can be debated, it does not decrease the fact that in this election we were all winners before the candidates were announced. It has nothing to do with party affiliations and everything to do with the fact that we were born into an imperfect country that is continually reaching and seeking to be better than we are now. And it has everything to do with the fact that our founding fathers wisely put together a system of checks and balances to make sure we don’t get too crazy in either direction of what that looks like.
To further drive that point home I’m inviting each of you to read this ESSAY written by a relative. Whether you are one of those who rejoice or mourn over how things are going, my hope is that it will provide insight and (if you’re a mourner) encouragement.

OPEN HOUSE UPDATE & MARKET CHITCHAT
Last week we announced that Dothan Nurseries and Market at Dothan would be having Christmas Open House on Saturday, December 5. Since then the date has been changed to DECEMBER 12. The Nursery Open House will be from 9am to 3 pm and our Market vendors plan to be there from 9 am to 1 pm or longer.
Saturday, December 12, 2020
9am – 1pm +
.
We are happy to welcome GROWS IN ROWS to our Market Family. Kathy was part of Market at Dothan many years ago and we’re excited that she’s rejoining us with her great local products.
GROWER NOTES
LAURA’S CONFECTIONS: We are now taking Thanksgiving orders for pies and cakes. Please remember to note which items are for the Holiday. Orders will be ready for pickup in Dothan from 3:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. Wednesday, November 25th. Thank you for your continued support this year and please have a Happy and Healthy Holiday! VIP – Write “NOV 25 Pickup” in the comment section of your regular Market order to reserve your fresh dessert for pickup on that date.
HORTONS FARM It’s been a busy week here. Our honey was delisted for a few weeks because we quite literally ran out of both containers and honey. That’s all taken care of now as we’ve always done things a bit differently harvesting honey in the fall, and this time around having to rethink packaging with the covid price increases.
In the interest of transparency, the glass jars on the left will be gussied up for the holidays with bulk order discounts available (photos and listings coming soon). The plastic jar to the right is our new 1 lb bottle, sans label.
In unrelated news, our chickens have started molting which means decreased egg production. Its probably coincidence but our young rooster has just discovered his voice as well and seems to be practicing his funny “crow” all all the time. Both are normal chicken life events that we will just take in stride, but we won’t list any eggs this week as it’s too soon to guess how few will be available.
AVALON FARMS:
In a week’s time, the sugar snap peas have gone from just “cracking the soil” to little plants. Amazing!
The girls certainly are enjoying their fresh pasture area. So many new places to scratch up tasty treats! Ooh, there goes a grasshopper! Yummy! (A varied diet makes tasty eggs!!)

Our COVID protocol is still in place for everyone who wants curbside service.
I. Order Payment:
1. Voluntarily prepay by 6 pm Thursday if possible using this PAYPAL link. This eliminates passing paper currency back and forth or handling debit/credit cards on site. Your invoice will be marked PAID and pickup is fast and easy. In the event of undelivered items you will be issued a Market credit that will apply to your next order.
2. Debit/Credit – One of us will briefly step within 6 feet for you to put your card in the chip reader. We do our best to avoid touching your card or you touching the equipment which means we sign an “x” for your signature.
3. Cash and Checks – You may hand them to us. Exact change is preferred if using cash to prevent a lot of passing back and forth. If you choose curbside pickup you are welcome to put payment in your trunk/tailgate as that would eliminate the need to come near your window.
II. Order Delivery:
1. Curb Service: Please pull up next to the Market Shed. We will direct traffic a little bit if needed. Have your trunk/ hatchback open and we’ll load you up!
2. Walk Up Pickup: Please do not come inside. When we see you coming we’ll put your order near the entrance and step back for you to claim it. This system works really well for those of you wishing to get extra veggies that may be available.
3. Regardless of how you choose to accept your Market order please know that we make every effort to practice safe distancing and ask that you do the same.
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!
Locally Grown STT: Market is open!
We loved the Frenchtown Location! It worked out really well. We’ll see you in Frenchtown again this week.
New on the market: Sorrel! Taste the season change with this wonderful edible flower!
We are happy to welcome another St Croix farm we know, AyAy Farm, providing locally grown sorrel to the St Thomas community. Special note for this one: it’s only available until Monday night for ordering so that this farm can harvest in time to go on the boat on Tuesday to get to us Wednesday morning.
Check out the market and we’ll see you on Wednesday!
Your Truly,
Your Market Coordinators
