Can you believe its ‘September’ all ready, what a weird summer, the wave of heat, all the rain we’ve had and now Fall is in the air. Great Fall Produce arriving, fall greens, late tomatoes, beans, enjoy shopping.

Check out our Markets Craft Section, several useful items especially the theraputic beads from Bead Wench, Thweatt Things has added new items, Periwinkle and Pine has beautiful wreaths for every season.

Thweatt Things: The start-up of school means more time to sew and I’m doing just that. This fall I’m featuring handmade Egg-gathering Aprons in both adult and kids sizes. These are made from 100% cotton, pre-washed and machine washable and dryable for easy care. The pockets for the eggs are large enough to accommodate a larger egg (like a duck egg) or a couple of hen eggs. These could also be useful for crafting or any other activity where small pockets might come in handy. Check out my posts for pricing info. I can also customize them for you if you’d like a matching adult/child combo. Thanks for looking.

Lavendar Cottage: We have add some increased sizes! Delicious snack to lunch bags and just a mid-day treat….This week we are bring some Freeze Dried candies into the market along with our Freeze dried fruits and veggies. If anyone is looking for a particular freeze dried candy please by all means send me an email and I’ll do my best to have them available for next week. Freeze Dried Cantaloupe Bites, Golden Watermelon Bites, Gummy Geeks (Originally Nerd Gummy clusters), Dried Jalapeno Pepper, Dried Mixed Color Bell Pepper, Dried Rancher Puffs (Originally Jolly Ranches), Dried Scuttles (originally Skittles), Dried Strawberry Bites, Dried Sun Kist Cherry Tomatoes, Dried Taphy Bombs (aka Originally Salt Water Taffy), Dried Tomatoes and Dried Watermelon Bites.

Rainbow Hill Farm: Apples are coming in, this week we have Gala, Gingergold, Ozark Gold, Rhode Island Greening and Yellow Delicious, all available in various sizes. Nothing like a delicious crisp apple during the hot weather! We also have our popular large cabbages, just a few this week but will have more in the coming weeks.

Quarter Spring Farm: is proud to present a plethora of pastured poultry products for your palate. We also have lots of luscious grass-fed lamb that’s great for grilling. And our usual substantial selection of skin-softening goat’s milk soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Singing Bee Honey: is back with their delicious local ’Cannon County" Honey. It is available in several sizes.

Sow’s Ear Piggery: we are back on the market this week with some familiar and some new cuts of Pork. Please Browse our products from our free-range, non-gmo, non corn/soy pork.

Rus-T-Acres: All our Black Angus Beef is USDA Certified pasture-raised:
Highlighting some of our products this week. Chuck Roast is cut from the shoulder and neck region of the animal. used for pot roast or, when cubed, stew, because the connective tissue melts as the chuck braises and self-bastes the beef, making it very tender. Double Ground Beef we chose this blend because of the tender, juicy, flavorful outcome of the product when it is cooked. It is a great blend for Hamburger steaks, chili, soups, and numerous other recipes. Medium seasoned pork sausage has the perfect blend of sage and pepper to earn the medium status. It also has enough fat for frying up perfectly. I fry my sausage and then use the grease for making my breakfast gravey or for seasoning my cornbread batter.

Some of our produce this week:
White Patty Pan Squash, AKA 10 toes look like the yellow sunburst patty pans but they are white. They taste more like a zucchini but are a little sweeter. They can be prepared in a variety of ways. Cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove the seeds, and stuff them with whatever you like, and then bake, broil, or steam them. You can cut them up and fry or sautee them. Sunburst Patty Pan Squash produces glossy buttercup yellow, scalloped edge squash that has a mild, buttery flavored tender white flesh. They are also referred to as 10 toes because each one has 10 scallops. It is a fun food to work with and can be prepared in a variety of ways. You can cut the top off like a pumpkin, remove seeds, and stuff with anything you would like and then bake them or steam them on the grill, fry them, sautee them. Just any way you want to cook them will be good. Japanese Eggplant: prepare in various ways including grilling, which will give them a smoky flavor!

Pinky’s Micros: You are missing out if you don’t eat these greens…healthy..put them in a smoothy, top you salads or sandwich, make rollups….Microgreens pack 40x more vital nutrients than their mature counterparts. Extremely dense in vital enzymes, minerals, vitamins, omega, and high does of chlorophyll. There aren’t many foods you could eat that are that packed of nutrients and harvested a day before delivery for freshness.
Put them on your sandwiches, top your salads, or use them in place of lettuce.*

We love putting them on avocado toast or in a B.L.T Sandwich!

Our new SUMMER Seasonal Chef’s Blend: CANTALOUPE, CUCUMBER, THAI BASIL, RED AMARANTH.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  Market Is Open for Ordering

Dothan, Alabama:  Sept. 2, 2023 - VIP M@D Newsletter- $ Talk & Upcoming Fall Festival

MISC MARKET NOTES

A Little Money Talk

This last week has been a tiny bit exciting and a lot of gut wrenching for M@D. The exiting part is that the bill we lobbied for earlier this year went into effect. It’s not everything we hoped for, but it is a start and yesterday sales tax on Alabama’s groceries lowered by 1%. You can read about it from our legislator who initiated it by clicking . . . HERE.

The gut-wrenching part was how to implement it for our customers. Our website is not designed for multiple sales tax percentages and lowering by 1% across the board would force M@D to pay the extra 1% on lovely things like beard balm and candles. A big order on soap or lip balm could easily put us in the red any given week.

One thing I’ve not shared is that for all these years M@D has been absorbing extra expense on standard overhead fees as it is, specifically 3% of all sales tax collected (web hosting) and about 3% of all sales tax from most card payments. We simply cannot absorb any more.

Our four core values are FRESH, LOCAL, SUSTAINABLE and YEAR ROUND. SUSTAINABLE includes finances and in order to continue to service our customers we have to service our obligations. So rather than nickle and dime each order we are leaving our overhead fee at 9% now listed as “Taxes and Fees”. The State of Alabama will receive exactly what they’re due on all products and should there be a surplus in the 9% collected it will help offset the 6% we’ve been losing all along anyway.

So that’s how it’s going to play out and unless something else comes up this all you’ll hear about the matter. This info will be added to the Q&A page of the website for those who might not read this newsletter.

JBW FARM FRESH:Weeds, Forbes, Peanuts, Cotton… Did you know that a peanut plant that comes up in a cotton field is considered a weed? There are many, many weeds in our fields/pastures. We do not spray to single out one variety of plant, we want a diversity of plants in our pastures. The weeds, or what people call weeds, are actually forbes. These forbes are amazing, they have many nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are important for our animals. Where most people are bush hogging their pastures, we are bush hogging with our sheep and goats. They thrive off of forbes. They turn the forbes into fertilizer, allowing the dung beetles to take that fertilizer down into the soil. By the activity of the dung beetles, it creates soil aggregation which helps with soil erosion. (Soil aggregation is soil particles that bind together—to resist breaking apart when exposed to external forces such as water erosion.) It is truly amazing to see how much thought the Lord put into creation, how every living thing is to work hand in hand with each other. 

MOUNT MORIAH FARMS:  I can’t believe it’s now September!!! We are two months away from kidding season starting and I am eager to meet all the littles that will be born. I am working on preparation for that time. We are still milking eight does, that number could go up to 13 in November! I absolutely love milking the girls. It is our special time together, as I’m sitting milking I am able to look everyone over and make sure there isn’t anything different. I am seeing some bellies growing! Prayers are already being said for a healthy kidding season, if you want to say some as well, we will certainly appreciate it!

Know someone who wants fresh food? Spread the word. Put the two together, and that’s growing organically!
