Shopping at RCM this week definitely makes me hungry for some of these amazing foods and dream of the fantastic dishes I could create! There are all kinds of fresh peppers this week; maybe some fajita meat from R&D or Kabob cubes from C3 Beef would go great with those colorful peppers! You could throw in some fresh squash, too, or fry up some okra to go with your meals! Don’t miss the fruit category this week… Justin’s Produce has a super selection of watermelons from Cave City red to yellow, seedless red, and orange crush from Dumas! Get your favorite one to enjoy while they are in season! Welcome back to Meadowlark; we are excited to see their Mediterranean herb cheese, fresh ricotta and three flavors of their homemade ice cream for you to choose from! There are lots of fresh herbs to enhance your meat and vegatable choices! I bet some fresh basil leaves from Hoof Hollow Hobbies or Bluff Top would be amazing with Meadowlark’s fresh cheeses or possibly a great addition to a simple and fresh pasta dish with some of Wild Hare’s homemade pasta! The Fortunate Mushroom has oyster mushrooms and Lion’s Mane available this week; there are so many delicious things you could make with them! There are tons of homemade cookie choices to help fill lunchboxes with unique treats!

I have some brand new Laundry Soap scents this week!! I have been working on these scents for a while now. I’ve taken them with me to a couple of Pop Ups and they have done very well! These new Laundry Soaps are scented with my non-toxic fragrance oils. They are high quality, vegan, phthalate and paraben free, and formulated for sensitive skin! I have Sea Breeze, Clean Cotton, and Honeysuckle Breeze. All three of these scents will leave your clothes smelling amazing, without all of the toxic chemicals found in most scented laundry soaps. And, if you want to add extra scent to your clothes, you can also purchase my new Laundry Booster! This is made with sodium carbonate to add an extra deodorizing boost to your laundry routine. Just sprinkle a scoop (or two) on top of your clothes before starting your washing machine and let this booster powder deodorize your laundry and leave your clothes smelling so clean and fresh! I have these available in the same scents as the new Laundry Soap scents.
Don’t forget about my other all natural non toxic household products. My hand soaps and cleaning sprays are a great place to start if you’ve been looking for locally made non-toxic products. I’m also fully stocked in all of my Car Air Freshener scents! Grab one for yourself or for a friend! These Air Fresheners are the perfect gift as well.

Middle Tennessee Locally Grown:  The Market Is Open for Orders!

Dothan, Alabama:  August 17, 2024 M@D NeWsLeTteR

MISC MARKET NOTES

Light in the Darkness – We Hope!

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.

Below is a cross section of reviews from Amazon.

“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.

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
