This Week’s Grower Notes

We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.

HORTON’S FARM: Praise the Lord! Happy to report that the strawberries survived last week’s freezing temperatures thanks to some hard work and row covers. The sad flip side is that we weren’t able to cover all the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash etc. and they did not. Fortunately they’re easier to replace.

On a different note, we will be taking a week or so off starting around 3/25/17 to greet the newest grandbaby. Viki Richter will manage the Market that week. One upside of this is that the eggs collected during that time will be PERFECT for EASTER boiling!

KATHY’S KLUCKERS: We’ll be back next week!

MARY’S PEEPS: We are so very greatful to everyone who recycles for me and others for this market. Its very heartwarming how special ya’ll are. Thank you! it does mean a lot that you do this. Please leave comments, it’s the only way we know if we are doing a good job. Also try and look for the new product that I try very hard to integrate into the different categories every week. Always trying to add something good, new, and hopefully interesting to your day. Again many thanks for your support to Mary’s Peeps, and Mary Bees.

SANDY VALLEY: Off next week to give the vegetables a chance to catch up.

Bulletin Board

The Bulletin Board is for your garden/kitchen/farm listings. Please email your notices to marketatdothan@gmail.com with contact info. Posts will be run for 2 weeks.

Is there a vendor or local farmer whom I can get or purchase untainted animal droppings from, preferably llama, alpaca, rabbit, sheep, and/or goat? (334)791-6819

Recycling Need: Avalon Farms is in need of empty large push button type laundry or fabric softener containers. These may be dropped off any time at The Market Shed at Dothan Nurseries. Please leave them under the table behind the picket fence.

Items Available: A wonderful Market Customer has donated a large quantity of food grade plastic 1.75 liter bottles for recycling. The uses are endless! If this is something you could use please stop by on Friday morning for pickup or contact us to make arrangements to get them. If you’re in Daleville, just include a note with your order telling us how many you would like. (Mary’s Peeps showed us how to turn these bottles into very effective wasp and yellow jacket traps. Be sure to ask!)

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!
