Dothan, Alabama:  January 21 Market Newsletter


Vendor Spotlight: SANDSPUR FARMS

Who is Sandspur Farms? Well, it’s the dream of a father turned reality by his middle daughter of three girls. My parents moved to the homesteaded property when I was six months old. This same property has been in our family for now over 100 years. He worked years getting the place back in shape. I’m thirty-six now and am bringing his dreams to reality. We raise heritage breeds of hogs such as Duroc, Berkshire and Hampshire. I have a Hereford cross sow that I raised from one of my first litters. Their meat, whether purebred or not, is so much better in quality and taste than anything found in the grocery stores. And actually the first cross between two breeds yields the best because it’s a combination of the best qualities. They call it hybrid vigor. (Look into it for some extremely interesting info).

This is one of our babies that is a week and a half old and wasn’t doing so well in a litter of eleven. Our neighbor is raising her as a pet.


They’re allowed to roam free never spending a day on concrete. They have grassy fields, oak trees with acorns and pecans, plus they get fresh veggies. We don’t believe in feeding them only stuff to get fat on but to be healthy and happy pigs for the best tasting pork, just like our grandparents had growing up and some now into their 90’s. However, they will create a stampede of a situation when they see us out and about in the fields. They were quick to learn that if they come to their two legged mom when she calls them, she has treats for them. They eat what we grow, all NON-GMO.  We know what they eat from day one until the last day. We believe that when we have less going into a product we should not be charging an outrageous price. We also believe that when you take care of the land and animals, they will in turn take care of you. We love our pork and believe that it truly is the best that money can buy. We want to remain affordable for singles, families of four and more and everyone in between.  Price and customer service are our number two priorities, after caring for the animals. 

We also raise Texas Longhorns just as carefully as our pigs, but I love my piggies way more.  We’re lucky to be part of the Market at Dothan and have grown some of the best friendships from customers ordering. You’re not just a name or an order, you’re somebody we are feeding a healthy product to just as we feed and care for our family. You are family.

RICHTER FARMS: Red Wattle Pork Products

SANDSPUR FARMS “We raise our pigs over a spread of close to 100 acres, they are allowed to roam the pastures and fields and are given NON GMO veggies and supplemented with some NON GMO feed and minerals. We take pride in our heritage bred hogs and produce some of the best tasting pork. Our pork has been sent to as far north as Kansas and as far south as Orlando and everywhere in between. Our prices are kept low as we believe it should not cost an “arm and a leg” to eat healthy and provide flavorful meals to our families.”

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!
