Vendor Spotlight: D’s JELLIES
I am Dianne Herring and I sell D’s Mayhaw Jelly, D’s Hot Pepper Jelly, and D’s Blackberry Jelly. My husband, Phillip, and I have been married for 41 years and our country home is near Cottonwood, AL in Houston County. Sitting on our front porch is an enjoyable place to spend time together. Our garden and fruit orchard provides the peppers, blackberries, and mayhaws that I gather for D’s Jellies. Being a part of The Market at Dothan Nurseries since it began has been a pleasure. I also sell our blackberries in late May and early June. I have a blog for my recipes – mycookingmemories.com. I am also a contributing chef for Wiregrass Living Magazine.
Market Info
Slow Roasted Lamb with Kale, Sweet Potatoes and Chickpeas is one of those fantastic one-pot dishes that takes minimal effort and tastes great. It’s a complete meal with protein, veg and starch. It takes a while to cook, but that’s mostly inactive time. The work is pretty much all up front and takes maybe 20 minutes total.
AVALON FARMS I’ve pulled all of our winter vegetables. Although the Dino kale will probably be back in a week or so. Planted onions last week. Southern Belle Red, White Bermuda and Yellow Granex (think Vidalia).
Sugar Snap peas will be going in the ground next week. Followed shortly by fingerling, red pontiac and yukon gold potatoes.
Asparagus is an early spring crop. Usually it starts in April, with this weird weather this year it might start early. Keep checking on the website. The standard is a 1 lb bundle. Would anyone be interested in ½ lb bundles?

RICHTER FARMS: Red Wattle Pork Products raised in rural Henry County. Red Wattle is an old heritage breed producing high quality, highly sought after pork products.
SANDSPUR FARMS “We raise our pigs over a spread of close to 100 acres, they are allowed to roam the pastures and fields and are given NON GMO veggies and supplemented with some NON GMO feed and minerals. We take pride in our heritage bred hogs and produce some of the best tasting pork. Our pork has been sent to as far north as Kansas and as far south as Orlando and everywhere in between. Our prices are kept low as we believe it should not cost an “arm and a leg” to eat healthy and provide flavorful meals to our families.”
SANDY VALLEY We are still recovering from January’s freezing temperatures and will have a greater variety of vegetables in a few weeks. Please enjoy the high quality Kale we currently have available.
