Middle Tennessee Locally Grown: The Market Is Open for Orders!
Middle Tennessee Locally Grown market
will be open for your orders till Tuesday evening at 10 pm.
Dothan, Alabama: August 17, 2024 M@D NeWsLeTteR
MISC MARKET NOTES
Since taking over management for Market at Dothan in 2016 I’ve had many discussions with so many of you about the sad state of our American food and medical systems. Indeed, the bulk of our vendor and customer base these years have been people who have had bad experiences with one or both systems and want CLEAN food in order to live as healthy a lifestyle as possible. So we keep on keeping on, through all kinds of bad weather that affects crops, wonderful vendors that come and go due to life circumstances and the occasional personal crisis that disrupts life.
While there’s plenty of gloom and doom out there – things like China buying farmland, Bayer owning both Monsanto (causing disease) and pharmaceuticals (to cure disease), and processed foods altering the development of our children, it’s refreshing to find something that addresses root cause.
And of all people, Mr Horton found it! He was upset after listening to a recent Tucker Carlson podcast with Calley and Casey Means, brother/sister authors from California, who expose some of the connections inside big pharma designed to keep us sick and drug the whole world forever. Thankfully that’s not the end of the story. Turns out they’ve recently published a controversial book that provides insight as to how we got “here”, info and insights to get off the hamster wheel, and where to go from here.
“In Good Energy, Dr. Means makes a bold case for why food — and particularly regenerative agriculture — must be at the very center of healthcare. She has emerged as one of the strongest physician voices teaching doctors and patients that we will never achieve optimal human health without optimal soil health and biodiversity — a message that the healthcare system would be wise to pay attention to. Dr. Means makes it clear that we can’t drug our way out of a broken food system.”
- Will Harris, regenerative agriculture leader and owner of White Oak Pastures
“For too long we have created a ‘health care’ system that is really a ‘sick care’ system. Its outcomes are too often marginal in improving our overall and long term health. Improving the metabolic health of Americans is an urgent national security priority. We are in a health crisis in our military and our nation. The path prescribed herein optimizes our metabolic habits while modernizing our health system to fix the root causes. Brilliant, timely, and remarkably impactful. Read this book. Tell your friends.”
-Mike Mullen, Admiral USN (Ret.), 17th Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff
. . .It gets a bit bio-hacky in the middle. She promotes her own company’s pricey CGM product a bunch; it didn’t feel wildly grifty, though it did make me read more skeptically, and it was generally annoying to be marketed to in a science book. So I skimmed that chapter. Most of the book was very informative and engaging, though. Not sure how legit the various studies she referenced were, no methodologies were discussed. Her advice to readers assumes access to quality food and elective medical tests and the means to afford them, so it won’t be realistic for many.
A Reader Review
If you want a deeper look into the history and connections of how we got to the point that Medicare is considering Ozympic for children, we suggest you listen to the Tucker Carlson interview that prompted this op-ed. It may be heard HERE.
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!

While the weather is still hot as blazes, summer is over for students. Friday Night Lights are back, and after a winless 2023 season, the Pike County Pirates won 34-20 over Crawford County in Roberta last night. And the Pirate Regiment Band rocked the house! I am looking forward to all that this football season has to offer.
Surely the weather will start cooling down, and we will have a glorious Fall. As the seasons change, be sure to enjoy the seasonal fruits and vegetables that are becoming available.
Thank you for supporting Georgia Grown. Have a great weekend, and we’ll see you at the Market!
Thanks,
Beverly

Thank you for choosing Northeast Georgia Locally Grown as a way to support your local producers. This online farmers market allows you to buy 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, then your order is NOT 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 your support!
