March 23, 2019 M@D Newsletter



We are open to accept orders.
Orders close Tuesday at 5pm
If you’re wondering about that “M@D” bit, its only about good healthy food!
Market at Dothan uses the word “Sustainable” over “Organic” because you can grow organic without being sustainable, but you cannot be sustainable without utilizing organic practices.

Grower Notes

GLUTEN FREE

With the 2013 study about the link between gluten intolerance and glyophospate use becoming more well known, it was rather refreshing to stumble onto what follows this week.

Let me introduce Julia Kuiper. Julia is from a large homeschool family and at age 14 found herself missing home baked goods because she was gluten intolerate. Rather than be deterred or discouraged, she studied and developed her own mixes and recipes that seriously rival traditionally baked foods.


Julia has a few recipes to try on her blog and tells her story here where her cookbook is available. Even if you’re not gluten sensitive we hope you’ll check it out.

COMING SOON


In between our next two tent type Farmer’s Markets something special is taking place at Dothan Nurseries. Market at Dothan along with some of our market vendors will be in attendance at the area’s first GET GREEN ALABAMA marketplace event. This will take place on Saturday, April 20. We hope you’ll put both dates on your calendar and plan to join the fun.

THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES

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

SMART DOC RESOURCES Exciting news from SmartDocs! Back to Africa via England in April.  We have been working with an engineer that has recently patented a hydrostat fish nutrient (in research on our farm in Gambia).  We also are coordinating with a scottish scientist who has a new formula for all natural insect repellent and pest control ( who knew a lot of folks in Africa are working on farm initiatives!?)  Our hydro facility is enlarging getting ready for these folks to come later in the year to present our place as a site farm! More news soon!

DANNY’S GREENS Well, Danny didn’t have much to say this week but he did have a lot to show . . . . in particular the onions and carrots (with a little lettuce in there to boot) that will be available next month. It was just too purty not to share!


AVALON FARMS: To quote one of my favorite movies, “Looks like meat is back on the menu, boys!”


Spent all morning taking half of our current batch of Freedom Ranger meat birds to “freezer camp”. Didn’t take as long as last time, but still lots of room for improvement. Next time will go even better.

Remember Freedom Rangers have more dark meat. These guys are awesome foragers and really enjoy being moved around on fresh pasture twice a day. They are fed supplemental rations that are non-GMO and no soy. And of course, no antibiotics or hormones.

They will be in the market today!
