Greetings All:
Lauren Stephens, the former Market Coordinator for the Crossfit/Lawrenceville Market has gotten a promotion at her “real” job. Congratulations, Lauren! This great opportunity for Lauren has left the position of Market Coordinator open at Crossfit. Interested in helping out? Hours are 3:00pm to 6:30ish every Thursday or every other Thursday. Please contact me at 404-432-4337 if you would like to volunteer or have questions. I will be coordinating Crossfit for the time being.
Offerings you may want to check out…
Greg of Heritage Farm has Beef Rib Steaks, Minced (ground) Lamb and Leg of Lamb on special this week! Great deals! Be sure and check them out. He also has a Bulk Pack of Organs (Kidney, Heart and Liver) that is wonderful for homemade Pet Food. The Black Lab is enjoying items from this great value pack.
I am still going strong on making soups! Grab some bones while they are available. With all of the wonderful winter veggies available, some bone broth, lentils or beans – yummy soups!
Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great winter veggies! Broccoli, Brussell Sprouts, Huge heads of Savoy Cabbage, Carrots, Kale and Romaine Lettuce are all listed in their offerings this week.
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread is back! Challah, Tortillas and Pumpernickel are available! Sourdough with soup! Yum!
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has wonderful Gluten Free offerings. Be sure and check them out. Please keep Marie, her husband Chuck and family in your prayers. An extended family member has died after an extended illness. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to them and their loved ones.
Carrell Farms has added Alpaca to their offerings! Be adventurous and try some. To me it is a bit sweeter than Pork and delicious! Of course their wonderful Water Buffalo offerings are also available! Try some Soup Bones for wonderful Bone Broth! Add in the Ox Tail for an especially delicious treat! Roasts, steaks, ground …they have it all!
Don’t forget to check out Shalley’s line of Skin Care products. My new favorite is her Silky Bamboo Lotion! A little goes a long way – and it feels exquisite on your skin!
Jay and Patti Parsons of Dances With Bees are back from vacation — just in time for the yucky weather here! Check out Honey offerings! Since I have been making a lot of soup, I have been using the cutting board a great deal. Jay’s Golden Beeswax Food Grade Wood Finish is awesome! Keeps my cutting board in great shape. Recently while looking for a cast iron pot in the plethora of boxes that must stay packed, I ran across a cutting board that I inherited from my Mother. It looked ROUGH!. I brought it upstairs and treated it twice with Jay’s Magic Potion and now I have another great cutting board! This stuff is amazing
Jeff and Tammy of Peacefield Farm had an issue in their Greenhouse and it may be a little while before they have items available. Please keep them in your prayers.
It is not to late to help out with Tammy Burnells youth organization’s project. For My Daughters’ Sake has asked for our help in sending the young ladies to the Georgia Organics Conference next weekend. Additional information can be found on the Weblog Page on each Market or by going to the link below!

Thanks go out to Kathy Barnes and her crew over at the Lilburn Market! Susan Coker and Sue Martinson, Geni Wallace, Nancy Tuck, Brigitte Rossi you all give your time so Market can continue to serve the community and bring nutrient dense, clean and local food to folks! Please know your help and teamwork is greatly appreciated.
Kathy, as the fearless leader at Lilburn sorts items delivered at Crossfit each week, loads them in her car, unloads them at Lilburn and ensures that everything is in place when Members walk through the door to pickup their order.
I know it is a thankless task! Although I have tried to paint a picture for folks, people do not realize all of the ‘steps’ that make Market happen! Perhaps you can’t unless you participate! But I do — to the Coordinators and Volunteers – I am in your debt!
Thankfully, Miss Sarah has returned from the West Coast and will be back at Hamilton Mill this week. Thanks to Karen Thain and Surata Wood and her daughter for all of the assistance with getting set up last week!
Also thanks go out to Dabrielle and Bruce Wills for the use of their Cargo Van which allowed all of the items for Market to be transported in 1 trip! The use of the van also allowed me to leave the heaviest items, (milk and meat) in coolers in the van for folks to collect on the way out to their cars! Since I cannot lift over 4lbs, all of the help was invaluable! Please know I appreciate you all! Sarah will see you on Thursday!
The weather up here in the mountains is turning nasty; but The Black Lab and I are prepared. I pray that everyone will remain safe and warm down Atlanta way! By Thursday things should be dry but COLD and I will be making the trip down to Lawrenceville!
