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!

Dothan, Alabama: February 4 Market Newsletter
Valentine’s Day Market Edition
Flowers, candy, red hearts and romance. That’s what Valentine’s day is all about, right? Well, maybe not.
The most popular legend is that St. Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. During that time, there was an Emperor who ruled Rome named Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married and outlawed marriage for all young men serving in his army. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn’t fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine’s actions he had him impisoned, and later put to death. Some stories say that the young couples, who Valentine had married, gave flowers and letters to Valentine when they visited him in the prison.
In a slightly different version of the legend, Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with his jailor’s daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first ‘valentine’ to his love when he wrote her a letter and signed it ‘Your Valentine’. These words are still used on cards today.
Another famous person from Valentine’s Day that you may be wondering about is Cupid (Latin cupido, “desire”). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.
Perhaps we’ll never know the true identity and story behind the man named St. Valentine, but this much is for sure…February has been the month to celebrate love for a long time, dating way back to the Middle Ages. In fact, Valentine’s Day ranks second only to Christmas in number of greeting cards sent.
Sweet Happenings at Market at Dothan.
Just when you thought things were starting to settle down a bit here we come with another change . . . we’re MOVING! Not too much anyway. JD at the Nursery tells me that our (Dothan) pickup will be moved to a different part of the Nursery property by March 1. That’s all you get for now because even he’s not exactly sure it will be, but we know it will be good. Stay tuned!

And for a special dinner for you and/or your sweetheart, we will have our country style ribs on sale too. A country style rib is usually a boneless cut of meat. Some may have a small bone due to being from the juicy boston butt. Another treat in case you have not yet tried is our pimento cheese. It can be a spread on sandwich or grilled cheese or if you want, I can shape it into a cheese ball. I’ll have a sample to leave at Dothan during pick up. Thank you for your orders!"
