New Vendor: Artsea Health & Wellness
These smoothies are available for purchase online and every Wednesday at the co-op from 1-2pm, and will soon be available on a regular basis in shop. Although made with all organic, non-GMO produce sourced primarily from the Dekalb Farmers Market, the art of such smoothie-making will almost always involve another grower by featuring that vendor and the particular ingredient(s) sourced, every Wednesday. To learn more, check out the new (still in progress) website at artseahealth.com. More food choices will be available for order and purchase in the coming weeks.

New Vendor: Happy Camper - Gluten Free Hand Pies
I'm excited to welcome Katie Mitchell to our family of vendors and growers! I've been getting her gluten free savory hand pies for awhile now and so happy she's offering them on our online farmers market! These make a quick and easy breakfast! Makes a great afterschool snack too! My kids fav flavor is the Southwestern but I love the Everything Bagel. Can't go wrong either way! Right now these are the only 2 flavors but as the seasons change so will her options.
From Happy Camper: All of your healthy and filling snack dreams have come true. We wanted a savory breakfast item that was healthy and delicious and if that wasn’t enough….we were sure it had to be able to be eaten on the go. So here we are with our newest gluten-free hand pie. It’s made with a crust of sweet potatoes and cassava flour and filled with seasonal local vegetables. These are perfect for when you’re grabbing something to snack on midday or running out the door with breakfast.
All pies are gluten free. We have vegan and paleo options!
Just pop it in the toaster or oven for 10-15 minutes and you have a hot, savory, toasty snack or breakfast!
PLEASE HELP! Volunteers Needed at pick up!
We need 1 volunteer at 4pm on August 22nd!
Please consider volunteering during market pick up. I can’t run the co-op without your help! Shifts are 1 hour long and go by really fast. It's a great opportunity to meet fellow members!
Michele, Karen, and Erika for volunteering last Wednesday! We couldn't have the co-op without our amazing volunteers!!
