Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville :  Countdown to Market Close at 8:00pm Tonight!


Market closes at 8:00pm

Notes and Reminders

For those of you who have been with the Market for a while, I am sure you remember the great produce we were always offered by Burnell Farms! The great news is Tammy and William will be re-joining the Market for the Winter Season. Although they do not have items listed this week; Tammy will be brining:

Kale
Romaine Lettuce
Huge heads of Savoy Cabbage
Cauliflower
Broccoli

that will be on the Farmers’ Sale Table at each Market! I suspect that these offerings will sell out very quickly, so plan on getting to Market pickup EARLY to snag what you would like!


Marie of Bakery on Brooks, our marvelous Gluten Free Baker will have offerings on the Farmers’ Sale Table including her new item – Gluten Free Pancake Mix (complete with recipe!) I know I will definitely be grabbing one of those — as I am sure Sarah will also! Don’t miss out! The Pancake Mix will be listed in Marie’s offerings on the Market menu next week!


After a stressful holiday baking time, Dabrielle and husband Bruce are heading down to Florida for some R & R and to help their daughter move! Tortillas, Pumpernickel and Challah will not be available for the next 2 weeks. If you want some, place your order this week and freeze so you have those goodies while they are gone. Their very capable Baker son, Brandon will be handling the Bakery while they are walking the beach, drinking Pina Coladas and moving daughter!

That’s it — Order before close!!

Thanks!

THANK A FARMER

THE BREAD LADY, LLC…As you may know, The Bread Lady, LLC closed as of Dec. 31st. We are very grateful to Juliann for her dedication & commitment to Market At Dothan! It is an understatement to say Juliann & her breads will be greatly missed by all! CONGRATS to Juliann and Tillman on their precious grandsons…what a joyful blessing! Thank you JuJu…have a ball rocking those babies!!!

HORTON FARMS..Freshly milled grains: Sourdough Mix, Ezekiel Mix, Whole Wheat & Buckwheat Pancake & Waffle Mix now available through Horton Farms. Thanks Ros!

HARD FREEZE HURT CROPS…Sharing this message from one of the BEST growers to show how hard our farmers work and the RISKS they take in bringing fresh, local produce to our community each season…
“I lost turnips and broccoli and siberian kale on the first night (Jan. 7) but last night (Jan. 8) hit me even harder all 300 heads of lettuce, cauliflower, radishes – GONE – I will not know about cabbage for a couple days i am hoping that some of the younger leaf lettuce will rebound and maybe some of the broccoli will produce side shoots in a week the only thing I can promise for next week is vates curly kale -5 and butternut-5 hopefully warmer weather will bring out collards young cabbage and younger broccoli. Thats what you call taking a hard punch! I will start replanting tomorrow and cutting back lettuce.” So VERY GRATEFUL for our HARD WORKING growers!

Joyful Noise Acres Farm:  Ordering ends at 8:00 tonight.


Please place your orders for this week before 8:00 tonight. Pick up is on Wednesday from12-4 at the farm. Some items are available for drop-off this Tuesday in Cumming at Grace Chapel Church of Christ.

Our favorite herbalist has been busy and has a new batch of Elderberry Syrup ready. Good Shepherd Herbals will be delivering the end of January so place your orders now. This syrup is so beneficial when treating many health concerns but is a great maintenance herb also. With all the colds and flu going around, it is a benefit to keep the immune system boosted.

Thank you to all that participated in the Sourdough bread baking class. It was fun and filling and if there are any questions, please ask.

Our next class is February 7th, Fermented and Cultured Vegetables. Many of you tried the Cultured Cashew Spread (taste explosion), now is the time to learn more about culturing and fermenting vegetables for the numerous health benefits and flavor profiles. This class will be taught by our favorite market Chef, Marty Martinez. Your vegetables will taste good, be good for you and you will learn how to use them on a daily basis.

Therefore, may God give you of the dew of heaven, the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine. Gen 27:28 NKJV

Blessings,
Mary Beth
