Dothan, Alabama: July 8, 2023 M@D is OpEn 4 oRdErS - upcoming schedule change inside
MISC MARKET NOTES
Overheard from a young mother: “ Today my oldest didn’t want the youngest to help him with a chore causing my youngest to almost cry because, “I’ve only gotten to do that chore once!”
This can only mean we’ve entered the Twilight Zone period of summer. Stay safe, everyone.”
Emotional support . . . WHAT? Apparently someone noticed the stressful heat in the Market Shed on Fridays and took action to help us cope.
“Hi There,
I am so glad you found me. I am an out of work ESC (emotional support chicken). I have been looking for the perfect human to go home with . That human is YOU! I’m super cheap to feed and will never charge you by the hour. I will listen to your without interrupting, and I’ll never judge you or put you down. Let’s face it, I am pretty dang cute too. I love being photographed and will travel with you wherever you go. Just keep me in your pocket, or purse and take me out whenever you need cheering up. “
Recycling Reminder: We are so THANKFUL for those of you who recycle your mason, pickle, sauce, etc jars through M@D. Our vendors are expecially grateful for the ones that contained their products as this helps keep their costs down. When possible, we ask that you return the lids as well. Pickle and sauce lids can be reused ONCE. Mason rings can be reused many times and one vendor collects used ones for art and craft projects.
Upcoming Schedule: We announced previously that we will switch to a bi-weekly schedule starting the end of this month on July 28. Specific dates are listed below and we may possibly extend that schedule depending on product availability. As our seasoned customers know, crops are subject to weather, bugs, all sorts of things. Meat producers are at the mercy of processors, etc.
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!

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy directly from multiple farms committed to chemical-free and local produce all year long! CHEMICAL-FREE means produce and pastures grown without synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, or insecticides. LOCAL means within 80 miles from the market pickup locations (usually much much closer). Do you know someone who grows chemical-free food in the area? Get them in touch with us. Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
PICKUP TIME is Wednesday from 5-6:30 p.m.
If you do not get an email ORDER CONFIRMATION after you finish the checkout process, then your order is NOT complete. Head back to the market page, and your order might still be there waiting for you to check out! If you have any trouble or questions at all, we are here to help; simply reply to this email.
Once you place an order, be on the lookout for the order reminder email on Wednesday with further pickup and payment notes. Thanks for your support!

Martin's Farmstand: Bargins for Saturday July 8th
I have a few overstock bargains for Saturday July 8th at Martins Farmstand. We are at the time of the year that the gardens are starting to yield their bounty. Medium sized cucumbers @ $7 per half bushel (15 available) These are some of the earliest field cucumbers and the cucumber beetles were rough on the plants so there is quite a bit of scarring on the skin. Not pretty but they taste good and would make pickles. Broccoli ( 10 bushels available) @ $15 per half bushel (10 lbs). Lettuce of all sorts (1 free head per person as supplies last). Garlic scapes ( 1 free handful per person as supplies last). Zucchini beautiful first quality zucchini @ $7per box ( 20 available). We also have lots of cabbage and new potatoes and more. As is normal all this produce is grown using organic methods. Daniel
