Market At Dothan Christmas Open House Edition
OPEN HOUSE IS HERE!
Order Pickup is on Thursday this Week!
We hope you are as excited about Open House as we are! Our vendors have been working hard in preparation for Open House next Thursday, December 1. For anyone not familiar with this event, twice a year Dothan Nurseries hosts an Open House and our Market at Dothan vendors come together for an old fashioned Farmer’s Market complete with tents, farmers, food, festivities, good company, good conversation, and lots of fun. It’s a good opportunity to stock up for the holiday season as well as shop and meet and/or renew contacts with your market vendors. A few guest vendors there as well. I have it on good faith there will be yummy samples, baked goods, and gift items in addition to local, fresh sustainable food. Bring the family. Bring a few market bags for shopping. You can even bring well behaved pets on a leash.
Market Info
RICHTER FARMS: Heritage Red Waddle Pork. A new customer with severe food allergies recently reported NO REACTION to Richter Farms smoked pork products – good news indeed for someone who has not enjoyed bacon in years! Check out the smoked link sausage and smoked ham steaks. They also offer smoked bacon, fresh ham steaks and ribs. Grab bags are available for 10% off to make buying HEALTHY meat easier for the week ahead. Red Waddle is a GREAT product for a healthy Thanksgiving meal.

MARY’S PEEPS “I am going to be taking a break from the market for awhile. I wanted everyone to know how much I appreciate them and all the help I have been given, with your orders or help from Ros, I do appreciate it and thank you very much. Maybe in the near future I can continue doing more in this market, but for now I have to take a break. I will still answer anyone who calls or emails, as I would love to hear how you are doing. love you all, and I wish everyone a wonderful Christmas.”
