NEWS AND NOTES
Delicious Nutritious Bread is still on vacation this week.
Yes, you certainly can eat healthy meals in the winter! This is the place to find wonderful winter vegetables, alfalfa sprouts, delicious pork and beef cuts, dried herbs, tempting baked goods, rich creamline milk, organic free-range eggs, raw local honey, grape jelly, and strawberry jam.
It’s great to be able to get locally grown foods in the winter. But our farmers’ market is not just about eating healthy. Please take note of some of the other types of products on this market, all locally produced. We have a great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, bath & beauty products, baled hay, and houseplants.
Dogwood Valley Greenhouse has added a Valentine’s Day Herb Basket and a few other houseplants to the market. Their message:
Are you looking for an unusual Valentine’s Day gift, one that is calorie-free and smells delicious enough to eat? Give a beautiful basket of herb plants from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. These plants, each in its own 3 inch diameter pot, can be kept on a sunny windowsill and clipped throughout the winter to add flavor to your Valentine’s cooking. Set the herb plants into the garden in spring, where they will thrive and are winter-hardy. Put together your own selection of plants from the listing on this week’s market. The baskets will also be available after Valentine’s Day, with an Easter or spring theme.
Stop by Square Books soon and see our MLG Table, with lots of non-perishable farm products for sale. Pick up some honey, jam or jelly, hand lotion, herbal tea, or a basket of herb plants to enjoy this winter.
(L to R) Ground Beef from Paccman Ranch, Open Range Eggs from Wayne Diller, Valentine’s Day Herb Basket from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, 100% Pure Honey from Steve’s Bees, Grape Jelly individually or by the case from Weaver Farms.

Market News
The farm started when “Mama Roz” as some call her, started keeping honeybees fifteen years ago. Mama Roz has gone on to become a Master Beekeeper and is currently a board member of the Alabama Beekeepers Association. While all this was going on, the Mr. at the farm developed methods to successfully cultivate and produce the raspberries and rhubarb he missed from his childhood in Oregon. Sustainable fruit, berry and some vegetable production is now a standard part of the farm operation.
