MISC MARKET NOTES

Thank you to everyone who weighed in on our logo redesign! We couldn’t give up the cute veggies but we did update the background. If all goes as planned you’ll be seeing some other eye candy changes going forward. So yes, we are changing some externals, but internals . . . nahhhhh. We’re still a bunch of hard core crunchies who are all about healthy lives and lifestyles.

That being said it seemed like a good time to revisit our four core values:

Fresh – Unless noted otherwise everything we offer is fresh harvested. Things like honey & pecans would be from the current year and meats have not been stored in the freezer for years.

Local All our growers are from within 50 miles of Dothan. The exception to that are a few items (like organic beets!) that do not grow well here. Buying locally benefits everyone by stimulating the local economy and making it possible for growers to expand and improve what they can provide.

Sustainable This is where we differ from other farmers and farmer markets in the area. We do not allow GMO’s chemical pesticides or chemical fertilizers. We believe those things weaken the soil expected to grow healthy food and damage the ecosystem. Our growers utilize healthy and regenerative soil management.

Year Round We are blessed to be in a region where gardening is possible during every season. Our winters are mild enough that many varieties of greens can thrive and our summers outdo themselves with multiple seasonal fruits and vegetables.

AVALON FARMS: Avalon Farms is making a comeback. At least that’s what it feels like. There are pepper and eggplant transplants in the greenhouse just waiting on Spring planting. Garlic and onions are gearing up for that rush to harvest in May.

This week all our jarred products are relisted and available for purchase.

Looking forward to this new year…without a lot of drama, please God.

We look forward to seeing you next Friday at one of our pickup locations. 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!
