If you want to see mushrooms in all shapes, sizes and colors, stop by Don Lloyd’s Fungalicious table and purchase some mushroom jerky or gourmet mushrooms. After Don retired in 2016, a casual comment about being unable to find gourmet mushrooms in grocery stores led to his son, an environmental scientist, explaining how to grow mushrooms. Don took up the challenge and hasn’t looked back. He said his customer’s compliments are what really keep him going through the hard work of farming. Fungalicious prides themselves on a completely natural growing process; the only substance that touches their mushrooms is pure water. Don loves getting to know everyone at the Market by name, and just like a family would, he notices if his friends miss even one week! We’re so glad Don is a part of our Market family, so stop by and show him some love by grabbing some fresh oyster mushrooms for your next recipe!

Dion Carroll of Cullman-based Greenleaf Farm sells tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, okra, melons, berries, beans, and peas, but with a twist– he grows much of his produce through the process of hydroponics, or a method of growing plants directly in nutrient-rich water rather than soil. For over 10 years, GAP-certified Greenleaf Farm has been honing their hydroponic craft, supplying our Market with beautiful leafy greens and perfectly ripe scarlet tomatoes. While farming is hard work, Dion says he does it because he loves it. He’s dedicated to the power of good food to promote good health, so come by his table and select your choice of fresh, water-to-table fruits and vegetables.

Brosemer Farms, founded in 1898, has a rich, long history and was recently honored as an official Alabama Century & Heritage Farm in a ceremony at our Market. ​​Come hand-select some fresh blooms for your kitchen table (and make your dog’s day with a special treat!)

Scott’s Orchard has graced the Alabama/Tennessee border for over 100 years– and through five generations of the Scott family. Will Scott, one of the current owners, never imagined he would come back and work on the family farm until he attended a Greene Street Market during the summer of his sophomore year of college. Seeing the happiness local produce brings and interacting personally with the farm’s customers gave him a whole new perspective on the value of farming. Scott’s Orchard grows 18 different types of apples and 21 different types of peaches on over 100 acres. They also sell cider, nectarines, and honey. As the air begins to cool, stop by their table for some fresh honeycrisp, golden delicious, or Arkansas black apples!

Doug Wheatley of Delfryn Fach Farm in New Market comes from a long line of farmers, but for him, it’s all about the goats. “They’re a hoot but they can be a handful,” he said. Our customers say Doug’s goat lotion and soap does wonders for their skin, and that his sweet corn is the best there is. “Delfryn Fach,” the name of his farm, is a Welsh phrase meaning “pretty little hill.” Doug has been married to his wife, Karen, for 38 years, and they have three children and six grandchildren. Doug loves interacting with customers at the Market and hearing how his products have made their lives better. He especially loves watching the facial expressions of children when they get to feed the baby goats. “Those are joys that hit you in the heart,” he said. Stop by his table for a smile, sweet corn, and smooth skin!

Falkville, Alabama

Champion Farms, a household name in the Morgan County farming industry, all began with a small vegetable garden in the backyard of a young Filipina immigrant. Anita, Marilyn’s mother, grew up farming to live, and when she moved to the U.S., she did just the same, carting her vegetables on foot to the nearest busy road. Soon, she had built a base of dedicated customers from all across the area. Today, Champion Farms covers over 10 acres and grows almost any vegetable possible to grow in the Alabama climate. Current farm owner Marilyn Champion has a passion for locally sourced vegetables, carefully cultivated and unique heirloom products (like Cherokee purple tomatoes!)– and carrying on her mother’s legacy. Champion Farms’ produce has been used by restaurants across Decatur and Huntsville. Come by the Champion Farms’ table for a huge variety of top-quality produce, canned goods, and even personalized recipe recommendations!

Huntsville, Alabama

After 35 years in the defense contracting industry, Huntsville native Bill Elliott took up beekeeping. Now, it’s his passion. Many of our Market customers claim Bill’s honey is the best they’ve ever had– probably because his bees feast on trees, shrubs and wildflowers in the Blossomwood and Redstone Arsenal areas, allowing them to produce uniquely pure and flavorful honey devoid of the chemicals most farms use. Bill also sells the bees themselves and is on call in the spring to remove bee swarms from backyards across the county. Bill loves sharing his bee fascination with Market customers, answering their questions, and witnessing their amazement– especially on the faces of the children. “Everyone loves to look at the bees, see the queen, and learn about them,” Bill said. “It always puts a smile on their faces.”
