A Worthy Cause...Please Read!
Dear Members:
Whether it is in a ‘traditional classroom’, home, or out in the field, teaching our youth is truly a ‘calling’. It requires dedication and a passion to instill the love of learning.
In addition to being a wife, grandmother, active Member of her Church, working her Farm, running a successful agricultural based business, volunteer work in the community, Tammy Burnell of Burnell Farms founded For My Daughters’ Sake. This non-profit, faith-based organization concentrates it efforts on educating and engaging girls (from 8 to 21) in educational programs. Teaching our youth self-sufficiency skills enhances their knowledge, ability to accept responsibility, confidence to meet those responsibilities, ability to think ‘outside of the box’ and create a niche to entrepreneurial success. On the path they are learning about nutrient dense foods for healthy nutrition, sustainability, canning, sewing, soap making, etiquette —
and a myriad of other life skills that will serve them well as they transition in the the world of adult-hood. Keeping and growing in faith and spiritual ideals will give them strength and fortitude in their journey.
Truly Living Well, a well-established urban farm and organization out of Atlanta, Georgia has collaborated with Burnell Farms to add to the success of this youth program.
In an effort to further the girls’ understanding of organic farming, Tammy is endeavoring to take them to the Georgia Organics Conference being held later this month. The girls engaged in a canning project to raise money; but have fallen a bit short and need our help! You can do this either by donating at Market pickup or by clicking the link below! A portion of the Market proceeds this week will be donated to My Daughters’ Sake. Will you help also?
I want to help For My Daughters’ Sake
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for donating to this worthy endeavor! In a future Newsletter, I will provide feedback from these young ladies about their experience!

'Bits and Bites' February 1, 2015
Bits and Bites
It does not seem possible that today is February 1! Although we have had a few ‘cold snaps’, which unfortunately took out some of our Farmers’ crops, it has been a relatively mild winter. I was a little nervous that winter weather would preclude a trip down to Market on Thursday; however, luckily that has not been the case! (knock on wood!)
One of my most favorite things about Winter is all of the wonderful Soups that are both nourishing and hardy. Growing up in Ohio, Soups were definitely part of our Winter fare. The warmth of the kitchen combined with scrumptious aroma of bread baking and a delectable soup bubbling on the stove-top served not only to feed my body but also nourish my soul. Whether it was a Cauliflower and Potato Soup, Gumbo, Chili, Beef Vegetable Soup with Barley, Split Pea Soup with Ham or Chicken with Rice, I relished those dinners. The aromas of soup simmering still tug at my heart-strings and invite me to remember simpler times. Gertrude, our cook and my Mother used to expound on ‘cooking with love’ – and I truthfully do not believe you can make soup without putting your touch of love in it!
Yesterday I cooked up a batch of Chicken Curry and Rice Soup with Carrots, Onion, Garlic and Celery. The pungent aroma and taste of the Curry was perfect with a fruit salad and Gluten Free Parker House Rolls from Bakery on Brooks. Earlier in the week, I made a Split Pea, Cabbage and Pork Shank Soup. Carrots, onions and garlic were added and after cooking, I used the emulsion blender to get a thicker texture and added bits of the Pork. I will have the recipe at Market this week for those of you who are interested. (But if you plan on making it, you will need Pork Shank, Cabbage, Carrots and Onions from the Market)
The Pork Shank (from Heritage Farm) I put in a brine for about 16 hours before roasting in a slow oven. Fabulous flavor and very tender.
Specials, New Items, Updates
Greg of Heritage Farm has Lamb Chops on Special this week. In addition, he has listed Mild Breakfast Sausage and Hot Breakfast Sausage this week along with Rabbit. Hmmm… I remember eating Rabbit as a child, but have never cooked it. I need to explore this option and will let you know my results! Thanks Greg, for bringing us a variety of good, grass-fed, nutritious meat options. What an opportunity to explore new culinary delights!
Greg has also added a Bulk Pack – Organ Feet and Bones consisting of Soup Bones, Pig Feet, Lamb Bones, Fat Back, Chicken Necks and Backs, Turkey Necks, Ham Hocks, Organ Meat. This is 20#‘s of various items for $30.00!! This is a phenomenal deal and if you make your own Pet Food, it is a fabulous find. Needless to say, I got one Bulk Pack for the Black Lab! The offering is limited in number and in frequency of availability! So, grab it now if you want it! You will not be disappointed!
Elderberry Syrup is listed on all Markets and will be available on the Farmers’ Sale Table at all Markets.
Elderberry’s high anti-oxidant properties and capacity to build the immune system make it a perfect immune booster and can assist in shortening the duration of the flu, colds and sinus infections.
Historically, both elderflowers and elderberries were given to build the immune system and prevent colds and flu.
A recent Norwegian study has shown that elderberry juice (Sambucus nigra) not only stimulates the immune system, but also directly inhibits the influenza virus. The active ingredients in the elderberry were found to halt the spread of the virus by disarming the enzyme responsible for attacking the cell walls.
Elderberry has been proven effective against eight different influenza viruses. The study indicated that it may provide protection against a wide range of flu viruses, solving the problem of the “mutating flu”, because most strains of the virus use the same enzyme mechanism to penetrate cells.
The study, reported in The Journal of International Medical Research, showed that on average, flu patients given the elderberry extract recovered within 3.1 days compared to 7.1 days for those given the placebo. Researchers found that the patients who took the elderberry extract also had higher levels of antibodies against the flu virus. A previous study published by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that nearly 90 per cent of flu patients given elderberry extract were completely free of symptoms within two to three days, as compared to at least six days with a placebo.
Elderberry Syrup is very high in Vitamin A and C and bioflavinoids, and may be taken as a prophylactic against winter colds. The diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity of elderberries helps explain its use in rheumatic and arthritic conditions.
Elderberries have a long-established effect in regulating bowel activity, moderating extremes of diarrhea and constipation.
I am using my Mother’s recipe which contains: Elderberries, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Ginger and Honey. All ingredients are Organic. The added Spices all have their own unique medicinal qualities which is the reason for their addition. It is available in the 8oz size as well as the 16oz size.
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has done it again! She created Paleo Treats Cherry Almond Crispies. An explosion of flavor and they have chocolate in them too! Wow! Check them out!
Brandon Wills, Dabrielle and Bruce’s son of My Daily Bread has been keeping us supplied with our Organic Baked Goods these past few weeks! At his Mother’s side at the Bakery Brandon has learned his Mom’s secrets of making wonderful, nutritious Breads and Goodies. I am sure he will be happy to have his parents back home this week – and so will we! With their daughter packed and moved and some Beach time and R & R under their belts, they are ready to head back home — we thank Brandon for his good work and welcome Dabrielle and Bruce home with open arms! Next week, Challah, Rye and Tortillas will return to their offerings and grace our tables!
The freezer at Crossfit/Lawrenceville Market still has several packages of frozen Yellow Squash, which Farmer Ricky Brown of Back River Farm put up after the harvest this summer. Perfect to add to soups or casseroles. Please email me if you would like a package to be included with your order this week. Email order for Yellow Squash
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. Tammy just added Young Spinach. I’m in…
Carrell Farms has delicious Water Buffalo Use a combo of Water Buffalo and Beef Bones to make an outstanding Bone Broth!
Be sure and check out Shalley’s all Natural Body Products. I recently purchased Shalley’s Silky Bamboo Lotion a combination of Tallow and Coconut Oil and essential oils as a balm for my raw and chapped hands. Oh, the difference just one application made! This is something that I will not be without.
Markets close at 8:00pm Monday. Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!

Greg of Heritage Farm has Lamb Chops on Special this week. Bacon is available! Last week I purchased a Pork Shank. Truthfully, I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do with it — so after some research and perusing recipes, I brined it overnight and it is now roasting in the oven! The aroma is mouth-watering! Dinner tonight with Cabbage, then Bean Soup and/or Potato/Cauliflower Soup! It’s It’s perfect Soup weather!
