Dothan, Alabama: Oct. 29, 2023 - Lots of M@D Goodness Ready to Order!
MISC MARKET NOTES
Katherine’s Kitchen: Here in Katherine’s Kitchen, one of the only things that still grew happily away through the August heat was basil. I wasn’t getting any tomatoes from my home garden anymore, so I thought I’d try a home-version of the other ingredient in my favorite, Caprese salad. I started experimenting with cheesemaking! The trouble is, fresh cheese like fior di latte is banned for sale by our government. The other trouble is, I stink at cheesemaking. After three batches of lumpy, dry notzzarella, I caved in and realized I needed to go back to storebought cheese for a while. The basil is still delicious, fresh, and homegrown, though! Keep on experimenting and always thank God for the little gifts he still gives us.
Avalon Farms:
Persimmons are SO pretty hanging on the tree. They glow in the sun, looking like tiny pumpkins. I’m always surprised how crunchy and sweet they are.
Finally have a few leafy greens coming in. Kale and broccoli leaves are available this week.
Been crazy busy “jarring” lots of our specialty jams. There are approximately 500 jars of tastiness awaiting our customers. We’ll be attending several seasonal markets and festivals in the coming months.
CASE PRICES – We offer discounted case prices on jarred stuff. Pay for 11, get 1 free. Mix and match products. If you have any questions give me a shout at info@avalonfarms.us
Enjoy this glorious weather!

Ode to a Friend Oh sweet friend, I hate to see you go! We’ve spent so many glorious mornings and early evenings outdoors together. Many a cool moment you’ve joined me in enjoying natures splendor and pondering the mysteries of life. And now you’re leaving for a year . . . how am I to cope?
October Gave A Party
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came,
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
All balanced to their partners,
And gaily fluttered by;
The sight was like a rainbow
New fallen from the sky.
Then, in the rustic hollow,
At hide-and-seek they played,
The party closed at sundown,
And everybody stayed.
Professor Wind played louder;
They flew along the ground;
And then the party ended
In hands across all round.
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: Potato Harvest is Complete
The potato rooms are full of potatoes again! Bulk potato price is 60 cents per lb ($30 for 50 lbs) for field run potatoes. ( we sort out cut potatoes and serious blemishes before they go into storage when we wash them) Have you ever wondered if it is best to store potatoes with the dirt on or to wash them first? My experiance says it makes little differance as long as they are well dried before putting them away. We wash at harvest time because we do not have good facilities to wash in the winter and most of us prefer less dirt in the kitchen sink. Next we move on to harvest of the late fall crops. We have an abundance of leeks, brussel sprouts, spinach, carrots beets and much more. There are still hot peppers out on the plants which I intend to pick today. We have still not had a frost. The latest first frost date I personally remember was back in the 90s sometime when we made it to October 31st with out frost. This year is close to that record. No, this does not suggest that we should be slow in harvesting the root crops. The year that we had no frost till the end of October had snow that stayed for the winter in early November. Daniel
