We have a new vendor KefirLife:
Kefir Grains are a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast. They feed on the simple sugars found in dairy milk. The end result is full of probiotics that will help to improve gut health. It is generally as thick as a thin milkshake and tastes similar to yogurt, but has three times more probiotics.
You will receive 1 tbsp of milk kefir grains which is enough to make 1 pint of kefir. Your grains will grow over time and you’ll be able to make larger batches – forever!
Most items are listed by 6 pm Sunday, but check back again before the market closes Tuesday night to see if any other items are ready to be harvested for you! Eat fresh! Eat local! Eat for better health!-Don’t forget to order your milk on Sunday if possible!

Dothan, Alabama: M@D Call to Arms (this is not a regular newsletter)
This is Ros – Your M@D Manager and this email is to encourage you to contact your senator and representatives TODAY.
At long and at last Alabama is considering legislation that would reduce our grocery tax burden. Many in the state house are on board with it.
Our family has been pushing this idea in Montgomery for at least a year now and I’ve even spoke with senators about the idea of eliminating tax on HEALTHY FOOD. This would give an incentive for people to make smarter choices statewide. Our idea was that anything you could get tax free at a Farmer’s Market should be tax free in a grocery store. In time this has the potential to to reduce obesity and improve everyone’s health, ultimately lowering Medicaid costs.
Apparently that would mean overhauling every grocery computer system in the state. There are however two taxed/non-taxed systems already in use in Alabama, SNAP and WIC.
RIGHT NOW there is debate in the State House about what system to use, to determine what foods would and would not be taxed.
This is because it is the closest to the Farmer’s Market definition of healthy foods. The SNAP system would not discourage people from continuing to abuse themselves with highly processed things that contribute to health problems.
Again, Please email or contact your elected officials TODAY to make your own voice heard. It’s taken this many years to reach this point and we’ve only got one shot at getting it right.

Saturday’s forecast is for a bright, sunshiny day so we are looking forward to seeing you!
This week we made Bacon Leek Artisan Sausage Links – a savory pork sausage not unlike our popular Spring Onion with a a slightly more breakfasty flavor which includes fresh organic leeks, our Applewood Smoked Bacon Ends, garlic, salt and pepper.
We also butchered hogs this week so we are fully stocked with plenty of fresh Pork Chops, Coppa Steaks, Tenderloins and also be sure to try our 100% Ground Mangalitsa Pork!
We will also have plenty of beef and chicken cuts as well as bacon and eggs so we look forward to seeing you at the park Saturday!
