For our Visitors: Thank you for stopping in! As a local sustainable food outlet we welcome all who are curious and want to learn more about our quirky, clean food, fresh food, local market. Please snoop around to your hearts content and if you think we’re a good fit for your health and lifestyle, create a customer account to receive future newsletters or plan to stop by on a Friday morning visit during our regular schedule.

We are proud to be a small group of niche growers and producers vigorously doing our part to support LOCAL economy and promoting SUSTAINABLE agriculture in the Wiregrass. Eating local organically grown food is possible YEAR ROUND and we work hard to make it happen for our customers. Each grower/producer is vetted, certified and dedicated to providing the freshest, highest quality products to our customers by utilizing natural growing methods that work in harmony with nature. This means no gmo’s, or man made chemicals or unnatural processes like gassing produce. Seasonal FRESH products include: fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, beef, pork, chicken, lamb, goat, honey, baked goods, mixes, nuts and more.
The Alabama Department of Agriculture has labeled us as a “modified CSA”. This is because we make it possible for you to order WHAT you want, in the AMOUNT you want from the PRODUCER you want, and as often as you want, all from the convenience of your home or mobile device. Available products are listed each week on the Market Page. Our farmers tell about themselves on the Growers Page. If you are new, get to know us a little better by checking past Weblogs. Stay in touch with us through Facebook.
ORDERS FROM US MUST BE PLACED ONLINE from the Market Page. Learn how we operate from the Question & Answer Page. New customers must create an account and sign in to order. Every week registered customers will receive an email notifying them that the Market is open for orders.

I. Order Payment:
1. Voluntarily prepay by 6 pm Thursday if possible using this PAYPAL link, or by transferring to MarketAtDothan through Cash App. This eliminates passing paper currency back and forth or handling debit/credit cards on site. Your invoice will be marked PAID and pickup is fast and easy. In the event of undelivered items you will be issued a Market credit that will apply to your next order.
2. Debit/Credit – One of us will briefly step within 6 feet for you to put your card in the chip reader. We do our best to avoid touching your card or you touching the equipment which means we sign an “x” for your signature.
3. Cash and Checks – You may hand them to us. Exact change is preferred if using cash to prevent a lot of passing back and forth. If you choose curbside pickup you are welcome to put payment in your trunk/tailgate as that would eliminate the need to come near your window.
II. Order Delivery:
1. Curb Service: Please pull up next to the Market Shed. We will direct traffic a little bit if needed. Have your trunk/ hatchback open and we’ll load you up!
2. Walk Up Pickup: When we see you coming we’ll put your order near the entrance and step back for you to claim it. This system works really well for those of you wishing to get extra veggies that may be available.
3. Regardless of how you choose to accept your Market order please know that we make every effort to practice safe distancing and ask that you do the same.
