South Cumberland Farmer's Market:  Software Glitch?

Apologies to our customers and growers. I did, indeed, open the market just before 5 p.m. Obviously, there was some kind of software glitch, and y’all didn’t receive it. So I sent it out again, and this time it worked. Happy ordering!

PORK SPECIAL FROM FOUNTAIN SPRINGS FARM
Again this week on the market is our ground pork and sausage special. They are both listed at FIVE 1-lb. packages for $20.00. That’s just $4.00 per pound for NON-GMO-fed, pasture-raised pork! Order them before they’re gone!

Also we have the Turkey Deposits on the market for people to order for Thanksgiving.
-———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
FROM DOGWOOD VALLEY GREENHOUSE
This strange spring weather continues, resulting in all the spring perennials blooming at the same time. The woodland and sun phlox, columbine, coreopsis, vinca, and catchfly are still glorious. Joining them in bloom this week are the astilbes, early carnations, Sweet Williams (dianthus), Foam Flower & Jacob’s Ladder, as well as a few early azaleas. We also have lots of different herbs and several nice varieties of hanging baskets. You can definitely set these perennials in your garden now, although I would wait a couple more weeks to add any annuals you might want.

We will soon have tomato and pepper plants in several varieties. It’s a bit early to plant them now, but you are welcome to email me at tnhomeschooler@yahoo.com for a list of varieties and to reserve your vegetable plants.
-———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
GROUND BEEF SPRING SPECIAL FROM DOUBLE A FARM
For a limited time only, we are offering lean ground beef in a bulk package of 5.5+ pounds for $27.45. That’s $4.99 per pound! You get the same great beef but at a better “limited time” price!!
-———————————————————————————————————————————————————-
BROWN’S HOLLAR CREATIONS will be bringing extra eggs this week to the market. They will be in the cooler and you may leave your money there in the envelope.

SANDSPUR FARMS + OCHEESEE CREAMERY
Thanks Jennifer of SANDSPUR Farms for Teaming Up with Ocheesee Creamery to deliver Local, Grass Fed Milk & Milk Products to Market At Dothan! The following information is from Ocheesee’s website:
" We’re a small, three-generation dairy in Calhoun County, Florida, and we’re bringing back the healthy goodness of whole milk and other dairy items. When you taste the difference and see the healthy benefits of milk items that come from grass-happy cows, you’ll be enjoying whole milk items again and will know that you’ve made the healthy choice. That’s right, we’re stepping back to a time when cows grazed on pasture land, like it used to be, and they got all the benefits of the fresh air, the sunlight, and pastures full of fresh green grass. Studies show that cows that are allowed a primary diet of fresh grass produce milk with five times as much unsaturated fat than cows fed processed grains. That’s really good news for people who want the benefits of whole milk but need to reduce their “bad” cholesterol counts. Most dairy items in the U.S. come almost exclusively from cows that are fed hay and grains from feed lots, and so whole milk has gotten a bad reputation due to the saturated fat and cholesterol levels. According to Michelle McGuire, associate professor at Washington State University, “Whole milk is not the villain!”
In addition to the dairy items you would expect, we offer an item you don’t find just everywhere; pasteurized, non-homogenized cream-top milk, which is a hands-down favorite of our guests and our regular customers as well. We are also the only dairy in the state that makes our own butter.
We choose to deliver our milk items in recyclable glass bottles for several reasons:
milk tastes better in glass,
glass is better for the environment, and because it is nostalgic. Many older people enjoy our items because it reminds them of their growing-up days when milk in glass bottles was the norm"
