Dothan, Alabama: M@D is OpEn! This is our Last Order Cycle Before Thanksgiving
MISC MARKET NOTES
Rethinking Thanksgiving
When it comes to gratitude there’s nothing to rethink. A thankful attitude has been proven to be mentally, spiritually and even physically beneficial. Over time our southern cultural expression of this has involved turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie followed by football.
Hopefully everyone has wonderful memories of family gatherings with all the traditional things, but it’s also ok to have and create new and different equally wonderful traditions. What follows is a list, without names in case anyone wants to drop in, of brilliant and beautiful traditions. Our hope is that if you need to do something different or are just happy not to be the only Thanksgiving weirdo, this will be a blessing. However you choose to spend the holiday, we wish you great gratitude and great joy.
Many thank you’s to everyone who remembered our changed pickup and delivery times. Pickup last Friday went so smooth and it was wonderful to see everyone. We really do have the absolute BEST customers in the Wiregrass.
Saturday December 7, 9am – 3pm at Dothan Nurseries
2024 3rd Quarter & Holiday Schedule
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!

Pastured Meats
Pastured Eggs
Baked Goods with Organic Ingredients
See All Products
Market is open Fridays at 9 p.m. through 9 p.m. Mondays!
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. in Clayton, Clarkesville, or Gainesville.
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 supporting local farmers!
Champaign, OH: A Note From Valley View Woodland!
Happy Thursday evening!! And, thank you for another outstanding market!!
I am opening up the market for another week of fun!!
PLEASE keep in mind that we have one more market week before we are closed for the week of Thanksgiving!!!
And, I am including a note from Marc and Shary Stadler:
Dear Market friends and customers,
This is Marc and Shary from Valley View Woodlands. We have been taking inventory of our 2024 maple syrup production — as you probably remember, 2023 and 2024 were challenging years for our delicious product from our woods because of uncooperative weather. With the holidays approaching we would like to place our Valley View maple syrup back on the Market for you to enjoy. What we’ve put on the market is all we have until the sap starts flowing again in February.
You can find our syrup on the Market listing as Valley View Maple Syrup, in three convenient sizes. It makes a great holiday gift, as well as a staple on your dining table.
Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to all,
Marc and Shary Stadler
Valley View Woodlands
