*VENDOR SPOTLIGHT*
SANDSPUR FARMS
The Mercer Family is SERIOUS about sustainable farming and producing top quality products. Located in rural Marianna, Sandspur Farms has proven their commitment to excellence by obtaining Certified Naturally Grown certification.
“Our land has been in my family since 1864 and we are a family farm, Certified Naturally Grown for the freshest vegetables, grass-fed and pasture finished beef, pastured pork and eggs from free-range chickens. We also offer a CSA program where fresh vegetables can be delivered to your door each week or biweekly. Our animals have never been given any hormones or antibiotics, we even made sure that our seed stock animals were also never given antibiotics or hormones. We’re working on certification through several programs to show our customers that we mean what we say. Our adventure is growing more and more each year and our goal is 100% customer satisfaction.”

Farm to Table Recipes
PORK, APPLE & SAGE MEATLOAF
Recipe recommended by Sandspur Farms from culinaryginger.com
2 large sweet apples, cored, peeled and grated
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
2/3 cup day old bread, ground into breadcrumbs in the food processor
1/2 cup milk
2 pounds ground pork (Sandspur Farms)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten (Sandspur Farms or Kathy’s Kluckers)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Organic Ketchup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Wrap the grated apples in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can. To a mixing bowl add the apples, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, and leave for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes add the ground pork, oregano, basil, sage, egg, salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. Turn out onto the baking sheet and mold into a meatloaf shape, about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Top with ketchup. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a thermometer when inserted into the center reaches 165 degrees F. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with ketchup.
Culinaryginger.com has a marvelous Apple Ketchup recipe that is recommended to be served with this recipe in lieu of traditional ketchup. It can be adapted to use Sandspur’s organic applesauce rather than fresh apples for anyone wanting the total taste experience.
Please, share your recipes with us on the website, on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Market at Dothan Locally Grown products, so we can try it too!
