SPRING FARMER’S MARKET
we are partnering with GET GREEN ALABAMA to host what can best be described as a Farmer’s Market on steroids. Our friend Tenita Strand started Get Green Alabama last year as a so support the College Readiness Workshop and a way for local sustainable businesses to showcase their products. So it won’t be just food and farm products! Last year’s Get Green/M@D Farmers Market was SO MUCH FUN!
This is Dothan Nurseries annual Spring Open House which is one of the best springtime events in the city. The food, the fellowship and the Nursery Specials are always splendid. This year’s theme has not been announced yet so we’ll update you on that in the coming weeks.
GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
AVALON FARMS: Avalon Farms
Work on the greenhouse should be completed this weekend!!! Huge one off the project list. The dream is that this will simplify spring and fall transplant production. Previously a spare bedroom doubled as a propagation room. Works great but limiting and involves a lot of toting plant trays in and out of the house. The worst though, was when some grasshopper or worm found the transplants outside. They thought it was a tasty salad bar!
And who knows, may be able to sneak in a few early cucumbers in this fancy new greenhouse.
HORTONS FARM LLC: PROGRESS! This week the foundation framework and some plumbing was laid for our new garden shed.
The photo on the left is my old shed that Michael destroyed. I loved that thing! It was built by my Mr. and sons around Y2K from recycled PVC found on the farm. It went through many covers over the years and served us well.
The new one being built (photo) will have have water and electricity and doors that close! This means that it can do double duty for extracting honey. SO EXCITED.
On a different note we are listing more eggs this week as the longer days have done wonders for our layers.
DANNY’S GREENS:This is the last week Danny will have green onions till late March. Limited lettuce and carrots are available.
