Champaign, OH: Rivers and Roads
Been talking about the way things change…
Rivers and roads, rivers til I reach you…
(Rivers and Roads-The Head and the Heart)
Maybe one of the most beautiful songs, to me. In my head, it speaks to me about growing up, growing apart, growing back together, and all the stuff that happens to lead you back to the ones who knew you when, knew you best, knew you before you knew you.
Since my music festival weekend, with both an old friend, and a best friend who hasn’t known me as long, but feels like our friendship has spanned time, it has made me think about my past, my now, my future.
I like to say that I am nothing without my tribe, my people, my soul mates, my circle. And, it’s true. My life lessons, experiences, and journeys, have all been because of the people who have been with me, along the way.
Much like this little local market of love. We have watched it grow, we have helped it along, we have watched it mature, and we have loved it, each and every step.
Today, I was back at it, handing out orders for order pick up day. Customers were coming and going, and letting me know how much I had been missed, last week. Asked about my festival. Were excited to hear my tales.
It’s this kind of growing together that makes people strong, bonds grow, and it’s all of this, that makes up this wacky little market that we all love to support. A big blend of a family, of familiar friends, of a trusted market.
Rivers and roads…it’s the kind of stuff that gives us roots, let’s us fly, and then let’s us all land, once again, right where our circle, our tribe, our people are all waiting…
I am opening the market for another week! We welcome you, we encourage you to grow with us, and we love you for supporting us…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Dothan, Alabama: Market at Dothan - June 5, 2016
Dothan’s SUSTAINABLE Market is now Open
This and That
Have you ever wished you had saved a recipe, a web link or information you saw in one of our weekly newsletters? Have no fear! They are recorded in the marketatdothan.locallygrown.net website. Simply click on “Weblog” and scroll down till you find what you are looking for.
Don’t miss this week’s recipe. We have three vendors offering fresh blueberries!
With summer upon us, high temperatures are also here to stay. This is the reason you may have noticed multiple coolers when you pick you your market order. While we would LOVE to be able to have every fresh picked item in a cooler, it is just not possible. So we’re asking that you come as early as as you can to pick up your orders for the remainder of summer. Heat is only a friend of fresh picked produce when you’re cooking it.
Lastly, an ANNOUNCEMENT – Meet your Farmer is back! Next week Jennifer from Sandspur Farms (and samples, and extra products for purchase!) will be with us during Market hours. Even if you don’t order come out – meet Jennifer, try some of her stuff and experience the genuine DIFFERENCE in sustainable food!
