Market News
Welcome back after a one week break in the Market. While we were gone many new products were added and more produce has started appearing. Some items of interest this week include:
Alfresco Pasta has added new pasta and sauces to his listings. Flying S Farms has added a new type of biscuit and jam this week. Frontier Family Farm added broccoli florets. Wedge Oak Farm has listed Mangalitsa rendered lard.
The following are messages from our vendors:
From Tracey with Botanical Harmony -
Happy Spring Everyone!
Botanical Harmony Farm will have part of a new, natural baby care line on the market this week. Cloth diaper safe rash cream with organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, arrowroot powder, beeswax, Calendula, Plantain, Chickweed and Pure Essential Oils and local, raw honey . This formula is non-greasy and is a wonderfully moisturizing, protective and healing for sensitive baby skin. Comes in two convenient sizes.
Baby Breathe (suggested for use with babies 3 months and older) – same incredible formula as our regular Breathe but with less concentration of essential oils due to the delicate nature of baby skin. 1 oz pot.
We are adding more to this line in the next week along with gift sets for baby and one just for the new mom.
As always, we thank you for supporting our family farm business. We are doing what we love with our loved ones because of you ! <3
Tracey, Ashleigh, Callum, Katherine, Wil, Benjamin, Andrew and all the farm animals.
From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse -
Spring has come on with such a rush that this will be the last week for daffodil bouquets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. We also have several beautiful succulent planters which will be a great table or desk decoration or Easter gift. They can also be moved outside for the frost-free time, from early May until October. What wonderful, cheerful gifts for a friend, or for yourself!
There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Champaign, OH: Kozmic Blues
I wanna talk about a little bit of loving, yeah…
(Kozmic Blues-Janice Joplin)
So, your market manager, Cosmic Pam, does not have the blues, but I am having a Janice/Bob Dylan kind of listening morning, and this one lyric stood out from Janice’s song, that summed up my feeling for this market, the customers, the vendors, the promotions that go on, behind the scenes, and when I am out and about.
Our market is fast approaching our third anniversary!!! Three years of being open to the public. Three years that have been emotional, hard work, thinking only to rethink, planning, executing…it’s been a crazy, crazy ride but look at how far we have come!
With each market, I am blown away, by the growth, the support, the smiling customer faces, the very close, and hard working vendors that we have onboard, and by the all around love that this little market receives from the community, and beyond.
We have made our name known in just three years. We have picked up a huge momentum in this past year, and your market managers plan to take this little market of love, even further in the next year.
Let’s all show some love, this week, and get those orders in!! Vendors and customers, together, make this market work. We fall under the YMCA, helping us with all things administrative…we are a core group moving into this next phase.
The market exists through all of us and all of our orders…let’s all do our part!
Have a lovely Sunday…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
Naples,FL: MARKET IS STILL OPEN PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL ORDERS ARE IN

Siloam Springs, AR: Online Market is Open!
www.siloamsprings.locallygrown.net
Spring is officially here and I enjoy seeing the daffodils and forsythia, the trees that are blossoming and those that just have little leaf buds developing. The bees are out working hard and enjoying all the henbit and other small flowers that are popping up all over lawns and fields. I enjoy all the seasons, but watching nature wake up from the long winter rest is amazing. I’m thankful to live in such a beautiful town.
It’s so exciting to think about all the hard work the farmers are doing as they plant greens and other crops as they prepare for the opening of the outdoor market. It’s a blessing to be able to continue the market through winter and to have an indoor location for the Saturday morning pick up but I’m looking forward to being outside again.
Enjoy the beautiful week ahead of us!

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"
BOTTLE DEPOSIT OF $3 FOR EACH BOTTLE ORDERED ON FIRST ORDER. RETURN CLEAN BOTTLE EACH WEEK TO RECYCLE & AVOID $3 BOTTLE FEE. THANK YOU***
CHECK OUT WHATS NEW…
Ms Emma has added Spinach & Mushroom, Spring Rosettes – great for Easter baskets; Red Beans & Rice – Frozen, Old Fashioned Butternut Cake and a French Green Bean & Wild Rice Casserole.
PRODUCE COMING SOON…
Scotty of Sandy Valley reports his garden is growing well! Look for Wakefield cabbage, broccoli and strawberries (Sweet Charlie – Exceptionally sweet berries are medium-sized, deep red and very flavorful. Plants are well-adapted to southern gardens, vigorous and highly productive. ) in the next few weeks!
