Dothan, Alabama: Open for Orders!
Dothan’s SUSTAINABLE Market is now Open
This and That
Hi – this is Ros. I don’t know about you but today, Friday the 13th, with a full moon even, has been a FABULOUS day! One of the things that I am so pleased about is how smoothly the Market ran today . . . then I realized that many of you may not be aware of the process that goes into making sure your bag is as close to perfect as we can get it.
In simple terms your vendors do the job of bagging your groceries. You’ve probably noticed the labels – they are a critical part of seeing that the right products go to the right person. Each vendor (myself included – Hortons Farm has printed thousands of labels over the years) tag YOUR item with YOUR label before delivery, then place it in YOUR bag at the Market. And just to be safe we check it off your invoice.
And that’s how it’s done! All of us THANK YOU for allowing us to be a part of your healthy lifestyle and look forward to providing you with more of the BEST produce in the Wiregrass.

Paris Arkansas Farmers Market: New Week, New Market!!!
Hello Market Family!
It’s a new week, and a new season! This marks our first week of 2016 with TWO Farmers markets
The Paris Market will have its big grand opening market this Saturday at 8am on the square!
In addition, on your usual tuesday evening pickup day….we will have vendors available with additional items as well as the items you’ve ordered or reserved online! We will continue the online market all year, as there are many vendors who list items here that are not able to come every week to the live market.
Our tuesday evening market hours will be 4-7. You may come by any time during those hours to pickup online orders and shop for even more wonderful local goods. We hope this will turn into a tuesday evening social time, with great food to eat, wonderful community and maybe even a pint of locally brewed craft beer to enjoy on the sweet little deck at sweet pickins! we will keep you posted on all of the upcoming events!!
In the mean time….enjoy what we have to offer online, and be sure to get your orders in by Sunday at 10pm!
See you on the square!!!
Peace,
PAFM

Tullahoma Locally Grown: Your Market is Open
Good morning.
YOUR MARKET IS CURRENTLY OPEN.
Your local market closes at noon on Wednesday. Order now before your favorite items run out.
If you are interested in a Thanksgiving Turkey from Fountain Sprints Farm, place your order soon, very soon, before they are all spoken for. You will find “Turkey Deposit” listed in the Meat/Turkey category. Be sure to indicate your desired weight between 14-22 lbs when you place your order. 
In November, you will receive a turkey close to the weight you requested and pay the balance based on $3.75 per pound. This is a whole turkey with giblets. Do not worry, we will send reminders closer to November so you do not buy a frozen turkey.
Here is the link to the market: Tullahoma Locally Grown Market
Thank you for your support. Have a great day,
