Foothills Market: The Market is Open!
Just like that, Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is coming up fast! Foothills Market will have only two more pickup dates before the Christmas holiday. If you’re looking for something different that supports a local business, we have several items that would make a good stocking stuffer or a great gift for an office party or that hard-to-please relative.
Check out the market for gift ideas such as jams/jellies or homemade baked goods of all kinds. Once again, we’ll also offer gift certificates for the market if you’d like to share the benefits of local food with someone on your list. Contact us with the name of the gift recipient and the dollar amount you want, and we’ll make a personalized certificate you can wrap or stick in a stocking.
Place your order – whether for Christmas or just this week’s menu – between now and 5:00 p.m. Wednesday, and we’ll have your order ready for pickup on Thursday.
Russellville Community Market: 12/1/24 closing

MISC MARKET NOTES
Looking Forward with Hope
Recently I overheard part of a podcast about potential changes under the new administration with Robert F Kennedy Jr. leading the fight for our nation’s health. Among the topics discussed were honest food labeling, banning foods/additives currently banned in Europe, and prescribing lifestyle changes instead of pills for many preventable health issues. These are all issues that our Market at Dothan family is concerned with.
Of course there’s the issue that big pharma will fight tooth and nail against any person or policy that affects their bottom line. With billions of dollars to “contribute” to elected officials to vote their way, it may very well be an uphill battle.
It’s too early in the process of changing administrations to predict what will or won’t happen. But the fact that our president elect has chosen an uncompromising advocate to head the US Health and Human Services department is encouraging. “The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country,” Trump said in a post on X. “Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”
RFK Jr. is controversial for sure. His political background is different than the party he hopes to serve. He was a drug addict years ago and his stand on the unborn . . well, he needs to get his heart right on that one. But when it comes to health, especially children’s health, he’s the man you want fighting in the ring.
So we wait with hope.
Saturday December 7, 9am – 3pm at Dothan Nurseries
Mt. Moriah Farms: Today is Small Business Saturday and if you are taking the time to read this THANK YOU! We trust y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, surrounded by family and friends! We are now selling Gift Sets! We have our entire Facial Care Routine conveniently wrapped up in a beautiful gift box. We also have our most popular Skin Care products wrapped up in an easy to give box! We not only did we do that, but we also have them available in mini sizes! We would love for you to check them out. We are excited as always to be a part of the Holiday Open House. We look forward to seeing you all there. Have a wonderful day and happy shopping! ??
D’s Jellies I look forward to seeing everybody next Saturday (Dec. 7th) at Dothan Nurseries Christmas Open House. I will have Mild and Hot D’s Pepper Jelly. Also, Mayhaw Jelly & BlackBerry Jelly will be available. D’s Farmhouse Kitchen Recipes is a wonderful addition to your recipe collection. My Jellies and Cookbook are unique Christmas gifts. See ya Saturday!
Horton’s Farm: We are happy to announce a New Product, HONEYBERRY BLISS. This product consists of local honey, whole cranberries, and two years in a mason jar. They are everything we hoped they would be: good in cooked dishes, good in salads, and good on your plate beside your turkey, dressing and gravy. Any leftover liquid is divine mixed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil as a salad dressing.
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!

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown: Weblog Entry
Locavores, Northeast Georgia Locally Grown is open for orders!
WEATHER NOTE: Thanks for your understanding this week, as farmers experience an extended period of cold night time temperatures. Produce farmers are predicting what will be available for harvest 4-5 days in advance. This might result in veggies being removed from your order by the grower. They try to remove the items by 11am on Wednesdays if they need, and you are always able to see if any items are removed from your account page and clicking your orders for this week.

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 farmers market allows you to preorder 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, your order may NOT be 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!
