Market Closes at 8:00pm TONIGHT!


Thank you to those who have already placed orders!

We now have another payment option available. Please call me prior to Market pickup and I will discuss the other option with you and answer any questions. You can reach me at 404-432-4337. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to provide you with what you want from the local Farmers/Growers and Producers; but, please understand that Buying Local means supporting those who are committed to providing ‘Local’!


I mention this yet again..because it is IMPORTANT!


Orders have been low for Cedar Rock Dairy over the last month. Consistency is key. The cows don’t stop producing milk just because we forgot to order! Sam Jones and his helpers work very hard and travel several hours in order for us to enjoy the healthy and wonderful milk produced by his tested A2 cows. These girls enjoy grazing on 1200 of organic pastures and producing milk!


Unfortunately, if our orders don’t increase we stand to lose this great Farmer and the healthy goodness he provides. The quality and taste of the milk produced by Sam’s cows is undeniable!


Offerings you
may
definitely want to check out…


Welcome Back! Krista and George Jones of Cedar Seeder (now called High Garden Center), are back with their Microgreens! Be sure and check out their offerings! Additional items will be available in the coming weeks!


Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm has outstanding grass-fed Meats! On Special this week: Smoked Turkey Wings, Lamb Shoulder Roast (this is a great deal!) Pork Shanks have SOLD OUT! Also, you will see that Greg has listed an opportunity to pre-order Holiday Hams. Please know that this is normal if you order Local, Pastured-Raised, Grass-fed Meats. It takes time to grow out the animals! There is no “last minute” shopping! I am sure that Pre-Orders for Holiday Turkeys are right around the corner. Last year, I received numerous calls a starting a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving (and again at Christmas) from folks who wanted Turkey and/or Ham. Don’t miss out on this opportunity!


Chicken will be available NEXT week!


Dabrielle of My Daily Bread provides us with delicious traditional wheat based Organic Baked Goods! From Challah, Sourdough, Ezekiel and other yummy Breads to Sweet Breads, Cookies, Jams and Jellies, Cheese Dips and Pasta Salads, Dabrielle is passionate about quality! Be sure and get your order in before close of Market!


Marie of Bakery on Brooks will be back next week!


Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great veggies! See the great variety in her offerings.


Vicky of Fry Farm has: Baby Fennel, Napa Cabbage, Rainbow Carrots, Leeks, Romaine Lettuce, Radishes and Turnips! Our very own Sarah Rockey is helping out at Fry Farm this year!


Doug of Doug’s Garden is back with his Garden Boxes! This week it is ‘Spring Vegetables and Herbs! In the history of the Market, Doug’s Veggie Boxes have always been a great hit with Market Members! I expect the same this year. Always a great variety and LOTS of yummy veggies and herbs! Look for them weekly. Doug is also offering: Whole Garlic, Leaf Lettuce Salad Mix, Spicy Salad Mix and Buttercrunch Lettuce!


Grow With the Flow owned Reggie and Roger Ramos are offering: Cabbage Leaves, Collard Greens, Ovation Salad Mix, Butter Gem Lettuce and Romaine Lettuce.


Did you know that Carrell Farms will not be at any of the Traditional Farmer Markets this year? You can find their Water Buffalo and Alpaca products here! Shalley’s line of Natural/Good For You Soaps, Lotions, Lip Balms and more can also be found in their offerings!


The Veggie Patch is offering: Fruit Seedlings, Herb Seedlings, Veggie Seedlings. These will not be available much longer, so order now! Also offering: Fresh Herbs, Medicinal Herbs, Sauces, Pickles and lots of fresh Veggies. Be sure and check out all of their items!


Kathy Barnes of So-Koi, our resident Seamtress, Lilburn Market Coordinator and provider of some pantry items has added “Kool-Aids” to her offerings! These are neck scarves that you soak in cool water and place around your neck – there are special little beady-thingies that plump up and help keep you cool! Fabulous! And they work — just ask Sarah, Bethe or Maryanne who were lucky enough to get the first ones!


I have been using the Produce Bags and cannot believe how well it keeps my Greens and Veggies! These are a must for Greens!


Check your Grocery List and get your orders in before 8:00pm Monday for delivery on Thursday!
