Dothan, Alabama:  FARMERS MARKET CANCELLED THIS SATURDAY

“The best laid plans of mice is men” is a quote adapted from a poem by the 18th century poet, Robert Burns. It is about a mouse which carefully builds a winter nest in a wheat field, only for it to be destroyed by a ploughman.

Mother Nature is our ploughman this week. First JD at Dothan Nurseries, then myself kept a watchful eye on Saturday’s forecast and today a decision was reached because

We didn’t figure you would want to come out in the wind and rain and sure don’t relish the idea of our awesome farmers and vendors sitting outside cold and lonely while their beautiful produce and goods get ruined because the weather is bad.

We’re sad to make this announcement but the upside is that both the Farmer’s Market and the Classes are moved to November 4, and followed by that we’ll have our last scheduled Farmer’s Market/Food Classes on November 11.

CLG:  Farm Fest Tomorrow! Lettuce! CLG Pickup TODAY 4-6pm. Bring eggshells, glass jars, & egg cartons please.
