CLG: Opening Bell: Cheese, Tomatoes, Granola, Broccoli, Cabbage!
Good evening!
There are only 2 Friday markets before Thanksgiving! We will NOT have a market the Friday after Thanksgiving, Nov 25th. Be sure to get all your holiday favorites before they sell out. Cheese, Sweet Potatoes, Broccoli, Green Beans, Potatoes, Cauliflower, etc. There’s an abundance of fall produce on our market right now! Browse the market categories. Find your favorite items, or try something new.
Good news! Most of you can remember when we had that wonderful local cheese from Honeysuckle Lane Cheese. Well, they’re back in business, and Jerry from Bluebird Hill Berry Farm has their cheeses listed. Great for your holiday cheese tray!
More good news! We’ve had several requests for a steady supply of DUCK EGGS! I hope to announce a new Grower from Wooster who has a big flock of ducks next week. There will be a few dozen available on the EXTRAS table this Friday. Stay tuned!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
Check out over 575 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders.
Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!

Dothan, Alabama: Welcome November!
Avalon Farms is Back!
This and That
Have you been outside today? Drought aside, the weather is MARVELOUS! We’ve had a busy day. A nice family from Marianna brought their son up to meet our dogs this morning. There’s a lady training four legged critters under the big pecan tree by the barn. So far the Mr. and I have got about 1000 of 3000 strawberry plugs in the ground. It’s a good day to be a farmer!
Our Market vendors and I are having fun planning and plotting our Christmas Open House this year. It will be Thursday, December 1, 3pm to 7pm in sync with Dothan Nursery’s annual Christmas Open House. This is always a fun and festive event. The Nursery provides refreshments and our farmers will have grills going with samples of all sorts of wonderful foods. This year we are inviting a few outside vendors whose food related products are guaranteed to make Open House THE place for wholesome sustainable foods and gifts.
I am beyond excited to announce AVALON FARMS IS BACK!!!!!! Those of you who have been with the Market a long time will remember Wendy and her delicious vegetables. Be sure to read her blurb in the Vendor section.
Thank you to everyone who continues to give to the Haiti Relief Fund. Kirsty and Mackenzie, the couple spearheading the assistance to the farmers co-op in Petit Trou, are still in Haiti. Electronic communication is still out of the question from there but we hope to get a report after they return next week.

Duette, FL: Featured This Week
Dear Friends,
This week our special vegetable is Kohlrabi. It looks a little odd but it is delicious
As soon as you bring your kohlrabi home, separate the leaves from the bulbs. Keep both the leaves and the bulbs in the fridge; the leaves go in a sealed zip-top plastic bag, the bulbs are stored loose. Use the leaves within a few days, but the unpeeled bulbs will last for weeks.
Eat It All
Although the bulb of the plant is the most frequently prepared and eaten portion, the leaves are also entirely edible. Chiffonade them finely and toss them in a vinaigrette, or give them a rough chop and either steam or sauté them, as you would collard greens or kale.
Also, this week we have some green tomatoes, red cherry tomatoes and small yellow pear tomatoes. Please place your orders.
Thank you,
David and Betty

Lake Placid Online Farmer's Market: Vote for Good Food--November Market Open!
It’s only a few days until the Presidential Election, but you have a chance to vote early—with your dollar, for good food!
You’ve no doubt heard the idea, “vote with your dollar” for local and/or organic food, and it’s absolutely true. Your support of farmer’s markest like this one helps markets grow and, helps farmers grow more to provide for their customers. Even using this market to supplement existing CSA arrangements or other food purchases helps the farmers continue to provide excellent products. Please feel free to share this market with friends. :)
That being said, we have some exciting updates.
?First, Asgaard Farm is back! They have added some exciting items like beef burger patties, beef bratwurst, goat milk caramels, pork products, and several varieties of cheese. Welcome back Asgaard!
Second, in case you missed it, we welcomed a new grower to the market: Eckert Tree Farm, selling maple syrup and several varieties of shelving made at the Farm. You can read more about their admirable maple syrup practices at their website https://www.madebytheadirondacks.com/ and try some maple syrup this month if so inclined!
Third, there are fine offerings from Beth at Rehoboth Homestead, including beets, chicken, fresh duckling, eggs, potatoes and more. I’m particularly excited about sweet potatoes, which are always a staple but especially in the winter months coming up.
Check out the offerings below and feel free to email with any questions!
??Best,? Christie
