Dothan, Alabama: A Little Early This Week . . .
Dothan’s SUSTAINABLE Market is now Open
This and That
Summer is upon us and I am so excited! School’s out now, wedding season has started and wholesome fresh vegetables ABOUND. Last night I made the Mr. one of our all time favorite dishes – new potatoes in buttery white sauce with English peas. He was a happy, HAPPY man. The next time I see 2C Farms offering their red potatoes I’ll be sure to share the recipe. And if you’re a seat of the pants cook like I am and have a few taters you’ve not used yet, it’s basically boiled potatoes, white sauce, and frozen green peas.
That being said, be sure to read the next section about what is and is not available on the market this week. Product selections are always expanding as does our vendor base.
Market Info
SANDSPUR FARMS – "I’m SO excited about our newest product!
Our CSA boxes are BACK! Plus, we’re also bringing back the meat grab bags. These bags are an assortment of cuts. Keep reading to see our newest product!
Our CSA BOX has a little of everything that is ready to harvest. Squash, zucchini, potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers and the list goes on and on. Hopefully, we will have blueberries ready this week! Some things aren’t posted for individual sale because of limited supply but it will be in these boxes. *Also, the box Includes 1 dozen farm fresh eggs, and your choice of 1 meat cut, can be beef or or pork. Just list in comment section which cut.(Except whole hams or ribeye steaks)
Our newest product is our FEED YOUR FAMILY BOX. We’ve designed this box to help cut some of your time standing in line at the grocery store. This box will contain 5 types of vegetables, one for each night of the week, 1 dozen eggs, plus 5 cuts of meat for the week. Serving size is based on a family of four to five. Because there’s a menu for each dinner using what’s in your box, it will also save you time when meal planning. All you will need is a few small items to make the meals complete. You will be able to tell all of your friends that your farmer sells you meat, veggies, eggs and even helps with meal planning for your family. Talk about knowing your farmer! ”

CLG: Opening Bell: NEW GROWER, Onions, Squash, Potatoes!
Good afternoon!
For the second week in a row, we are very excited to welcome a NEW Grower to our CLG family. Phyllis and Gary Strack have been growing great vegetables on their family farmland right here in Conway for almost 30 years, as have 2 generations before them! Learn more about Strack Farm using the OUR GROWERS tab at top of the page. I toured their operation on Thursday and was very impressed at all the work that had gone into the long rows of healthy plants, as well as the irrigation system fed from a lake next to the garden. Expect great things from this new Grower!
Carissa added a new recipe under the RECIPES tab at the top of the site. NEW POTATOES IN A CREAMY GARLIC DILL SAUCE. She made it for lunch today using local produce available right now at CLG, and it was awesome!
Most items are listed by 6pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!
Usually our volunteers have the market ready for customers to pick up before 4pm. If you are out and about and want to know if we are ready, just text me to see: 501-339-1039.
Check out over 550 wonderful items listed right now. See you on Friday!
Come early on Friday for the best selection from the EXTRAS table. And save your eggshells throughout the week for the laying hens! :-)
The market is now OPEN for orders.
Please check your email about 5 minutes after you place your order to make sure you get an order confirmation. Thank you for being a valuable part of CLG!
Have a great week!
