IMPORTANT MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT

It has been one year since I took over management of Market At Dothan. Many of you remember those early 2016 sad disasters masquarading as newsletters. I am so grateful for the kind patience and support of both our vendors and customers during these 12 months. Most of you have no idea how your observations, ideas and advice have helped to improve Market policies and procedures.

We are still transitioning! One of the things I kept bumping into via customer remarks over the year concerned the organization of our Market (ordering) page. I’m happy to tell you that it should be much easier to navigate now.

If you’ve not looked yet it’s ok to do it now (click here). We welcome honest feedback and hope the change will make it easier for you to find what you want or need. Mrs. Melody, who has been with us a long time said this: “I took a look at the new website as you requested and I really like it. Its going to be much easier to navigate because you can click on the category of things you want to purchase and see everything available. As I told you before if I was looking for eggs and scrolled to the “E” section I wouldn’t always find all the eggs available because some vendors would list them as “fresh” or “free range” they would be under “F” and I wouldn’t find them. I think this is a great idea and I think the other customers are going to like it as well.”

It’s important to know that you CAN STILL LOOK UP SPECIFIC VENDORS. Under the category listings is a box called “Display Options”. This is where you can choose one or more vendors to view. Please take advantage of that function often as all our growers are wonderful and deserve the limelight.

Lastly, THANK YOU to all our vendors who helped with this project. Many hands make light work and I couldn’t ask to work with a better group of folks. Here’s to a better year in 2017!

Blessings to You and Yours,
Ros
