For those that haven’t been following our social media posts , we wanted to give you a heads up about our special guest baker tomorrow! Mari, a Japanese style home baker based in Saint Marys will have some of her shokupan(Japanese milk loafs) and small tarts (blueberry or apple) available in the store!!!! I’ve tried the tarts and they are delicious – and perfectly sized for us to share as a sweet treat. And I can’t wait to try the milk loaf myself! So stop on out and support another local baker while you also fill your fridge with veggies for the week!
And don’t forget that next week is Kreppel week with Jenn’s Backstube!

Growers New’s Subject to Change:
Happy Labor Day Weekend, many have already headed back to school and colleges and finishing up vacations. Remember Stones River Locally Grown is a YEAR ROUND market with only a few times closed at the end of the year. Our Growers are always available to contact through their listing.
Growers News:
Quarter Spring Farm: we have full freezers and we need your help emptying them out. We have dropped prices on a few of our pasture-raised chicken cuts like the bag of bones (great for stock) and the chicken livers (tons of iron, great for you). We will have all of our lamb cuts, and some goat meat available starting next week. As usual, we have our splendid selection of skin-softening soaps, shampoos, and lotions available.
NashPhilly: So much sauce so little time. We will be offering through the market pasta sauces such as marinara, marsala ,and alfredo. Great for creating your own pasta meals. For this week we will have available just the marinara sauce but we will update you when other ones become available.
Soup of the week will be the loaded baked potato soup. Velvety smooth potato soup, with smoky bacon, and cheddar cheese. I will still have these two cold soups available watermelon gazpacho and cucumber and dill soup for the rest of this month.
Featured Dishes- how does a Beef Wellington sound? Or Italian Stuffed Flank Steaks? Two dishes made to really please the foodie inside of you. Both are featured this week. You can find them on the meats and poultry tab.
Sadie Brooke Farm: Their Family Farm is located in Readyville, TN where we raise Black Angus Cattle and grow garden fresh Vegetables and fruits. Also have fresh Bacon, Ham and sausage. We have homemade canned goods and offer homemade baked goods such as custom cakes, cupcakes, pies, dipped strawberries and bread and Kombucha Beverages.
Safe and Sound Soap Co.:
Have you tried my hand soaps? They are ultra moisturizing with a rich lather! They make great gifts as well. If you’ve purchased them before then be sure and save the pump because I now have refill packs for them at a discounted price! Don’t forget about my new scented Laundry Soaps and Laundry Booster! I use high quality organic fragrance oils to scent these laundry soaps. They are Non-toxic, Phthalate and paraben free, and specifically formulated for those with sensitive skin. I also use these fragrances in my whipped sugar scrubs, so you can enjoy a luxury scrub without worrying about harsh fragrances or any chemicals. Thank you to all who have purchased my items in the past. Your support means so much!

Dothan, Alabama: August 31, 2024 M@D Newsletter - OrDeRiNg is OPEN!
MISC MARKET NOTES
Change – it seems to weigh heavily these days. On a national level we’re feeling the weight of this years election and all the drama, with both hope and dread, surrounding it. We’re also SO READY for the changing of the seasons. (Bring on the brisk mornings & Pumpkin Spice please!) M@D has seen a lot of changes over the years, some good, some unexpected and some that leave us sad. More recently some in our Market family have experienced deaths close to us. Only this morning my own family said goodbye to a friend of many years.
All these things affect our lives.
“Life is flux,” said the philosopher Heraclitus. The Greek philosopher pointed out in 500 BC that everything is constantly shifting, and becoming something other to what it was before. Like a river, life flows ever onwards, and while we may step from the riverbank into the river, the waters flowing over our feet will never be the same waters that flowed even one moment before. Heraclitus concluded that since the very nature of life is change, to resist this natural flow was to resist the very essence of our existence. “There is nothing permanent except change,” he said. (From bbc.com)
A quick google search on the topic of change will bring up enough essays and quotes to drown in and since M@D is about FOOD and not philosophy we don’t want anyone needing to spit out water. That being said, the little bit that follows is meant to encourage you if you’re struggling with change. Both needing change and resisting change are part of our common humanity. Some we have to initiate, some we have to roll with, but either way it’s LIFE!
Avalon Farms: Turning Over a New Leaf
This change has been a long time coming. I’ve been mulling it over for a year or more, but my Dad’s passing has really pushed the issue.
It’s time for a break, let the gardens go fallow and rest the soil. I’m not planting anything this Fall/Winter season and I don’t have a real plan for the future. I need to let my mind, body and spirit go fallow too.
The last 8 years have seen their ups and downs, so many things tried and lessons learned. But it has always been my pleasure to provide healthy food to you, my friends, through the Market at Dothan. I will miss you all.
Wendy
Avalon Farms LLC
PS – if there is anything I can do for you; answer garden questions or you need a jar of our stuff, I can be reached at info@avalonfarms.us
We Love You Wendy and will miss you too! People, like farms, animals, all living things actually, need rest in order to be whole and healthy. So as bad as we’ll miss you we want YOU to be whole and to thrive even more. Please know that our prayers are with you and you’ll always have friends here!
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!
