New Field Farm's Online Market:  Chilly, but no frost yet.

Greetings,

You would think that a waxing moon and clear, still nights in October would mean a frost, but not so here. I’ve been covering and uncovering certain crops the past few nights, always convinced that if I don’t then there will be a frost. As a result, no frost.

All the same, the season is winding down. I’m starting to clean out the greenhouse and put away the irrigation. Yesterday I put the escape board on the beehive so the bees would move out of the supers (the boxes on the top of the hive where the bees store the honey that we steal, leaving them enough for the winter in the main hive boxes). This movement takes a few days. Both supers seem packed to the brim, the medium size one being very heavy.

Thank you for your orders and enjoy if you can this beautiful weather during these troubled times.

GOOD THINGS AHEAD!

Sooooo. . . . Next Saturday, October 14, is the 2nd of our FALL FARMER’S MARKETS! If you missed the last one there’s plenty of time to get in on the fun and the fabulous food! Honestly, I think all of our vendors were surprised at the numbers of guests who had no idea that FRESH, LOCAL, SUSTAINABLE and YEAR ROUND growers serve the Wiregrass. If you are one of the sweet people who have created a new customer account we welcome you!

Next Saturday we are privileged to hear the other half of Mayim Farm’s dynamic duo, Carole Lolley. She will be teaching on the benefits and preparation of FERMENTED FOODS at 9:30 am. Following Carole at 11:00 am Katherine Flippo Johnson will be teaching about WATER KEFIR. Both of these classes cover vital information that is crucial to reclaiming and maintaining good gut health. Bring a chair and a note pad because you’ll want to remember everything you hear!

WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

What an absolute TREAT to have Emily D. Photography with us on Sept. 30! Those who have been with Market at Dothan have probably enjoyed something made by her or a family member as she is part of Spring Hill Farms whom we miss terribly! Emily is graciously sharing some of her photos with us and they’re much better than mine. Enjoy, and keep her in mind if you need a good photographer!

These lovely ladies are from Hawkins Homestead and Bain Home Gardens.
Organic Goodness from Working Cows Dairy. Best cheese in Alabama!
Fine Tea from Martin Teas.
Two of the Four Generations of Casablanca Ranch!
No Farmer’s Market is complete without a grocery cart full of cotton dishcloths!
Soshito Peppers from Mayim Farms.

VIP ANNOUNCEMENT

A few days ago A Greener World made an announcement that Working Cows Dairy had qualified for certification through their agency. This is no small accomplishment as they are the 2nd dairy in the whole country to meet the grass fed and animal welfare requirements for this certification.

Please read more about this important event HERE

We hope you’ll take the time to read up on this. Most folks don’t know much about traditional dairy production and even less about the tremendous effort that goes into making the same products organically. Certified Grassfed by AGW is the only certification and logo in the U.S. and Canada that guarantees food products come from animals fed a 100 percent grass and forage diet, raised outdoors on pasture or range for their entire lives, and managed according to the Animal Welfare Approved leading welfare and environmental standards on an independent farm.

THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES

We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.

BAIN HOME GARDENS: What a beautiful turn out we had last Saturday at the market. We shared a table with Hawkins Homestead Farm and our families both enjoyed reaching out to the community! As we have gotten to know some of you from California to Australia, we thought it a good idea to tell you a little more about us:
Bain Home Gardens really is a family effort. Mr. Bain Home Gardener is our finance officer, caring for expenses but also giving well thought out feedback on setup and execution of Bain Home Garden affairs. Then we have our Associate Jarod who is much of the muscle of the operation. Jarod is currently studying Plant & Science Technology in his senior year of high school and readily applies his learning to our home garden. His responsibilities are tilling and preparing soil for planting, watering, fertilizing and other random things that may come up. Next we have Thai, our Junior Associate whose job covers anything from weeding to planting. She is the creative mind behind the operation and usually helps design bed set up as well. I, well I organize it all! As a result, I dabble in everything Bain Home Gardens has to do to bring the community quality produce. Some may say that is the most challenging job of all!
As the Fall Food Festival continues, please feel free to just come by our table and introduce yourself to us. We are here to get to know you & we love talking to people! See you soon!

HAWKINS HOMESTEAD FARM: Yay! Finally Autumn has arrived. I have always enjoyed the changing of seasons but Autumn has a special place in my heart. Growing up in the North, we actually had all 4 seasons so beginning in late August or Early September the leaves would began to change and it was a beautiful sight to see. Plus the cooler weather definitely helped. What do all of you like about fall? I would love to hear about it.

All of a sudden, we have lots of our organic poinsettia peppers turning red, so since we try not to waste anything around here I have been making hot sauce. Once I get it perfected, I hope that all of you will try it out. I plan to have it for the 2nd day of our Fall Farmers Market. Of course we will be out there with our fresh organic chicken, free range eggs, and some organic produce for you as well. We really enjoyed the first Fall Market and look forward to this one coming up on October 14th. Hope to see you there!

RICHTER FARMS: Welcome Autumn! Great news we will have pork restocked and NEW we will also have GOAT available! The chickens have been molting so eggs will be scarce but will list when available. I am also rendering lard so look for that to be restocked. I noticed that those pecan pie muffins are popular as is the ranch dressing mix. Thank you for being such wonderful customers and friends. I always look forward to seeing you each week! I will be marking some items 20% off for Columbus Day!
