GROWER & MARKET NOTES

Welcome December! We hope this finds you with wonderful Thanksgiving memories and mostly prepared to enjoy the Christmas Season. We know of at least two of our Market Vendors who hosted about 20 people and one who spent was camping. No doubt there are other great stories out there and we always enjoy learning of the various things people do and traditions they employ.

And now it’s December with a whole different set of Holiday traditions.

Here at Hortons Farm we are in contact with multiple area churches in preparation an annual Cookie Packing Day on Dec. 15. This is a ministry outreach where inmates at an area jail receive home baked cookies, “lovin from the oven,” from the community at Christmas. Our group of volunteers prepare and package several thousand cookies that will be delivered Christmas Day.

Whatever your Christmas/Holiday traditions are we hope and pray that they bring deep satisfaction. Even more so, we hope they bring a deeper understanding of the height and breath and depth of God’s love for mankind and YOU in particular. Jesus truly is the Reason for the Season.

So . . . Today was Christmas Open House at Dothan Nurseries and many of our Market vendors have just made it home or will make it home soon. WHICH MEANS . . .. check our listings again tomorrow or the next day! We have NO PROBLEM with it when folks make more than one order during a weekly cycle.

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!
