New Ordering Website coming soon!
I'm happy to announce that we will be transitioning to the new ordering website on October 4th! Gary from Cornerstone Web Developers and I have been working hard over the past several months to create the new Living Well Farmers Market multi vendor marketplace. As with any website, this will continue to evolve, but we feel what we have is a great start. We've tested several times with a handful of members. This will be the last weekend on the Suwanee Whole Life Co-op market website. Starting the weekend of Oct 4th we will officially launch the Living Well Farmers market website www.livingwellga.com More details to come early next week about how to register.

Build out Update
Update: Bathroom is finished. HVAC is being inspected. Dept of Ag inspection next week. Working towards CO so we can move in by November. New website is done and we launch Oct 4th I'll continue to keep you all posted and give everyone plenty of notice before we move. As of right now I estimating November/December but as soon as I know an exact date I will scream from the rooftops :-) I'm very excited and starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
If you are a new member you may not know about this. Please check out this information about upcoming changes to the market. Please read letter below and/or watch video. I still laugh when I hear myself say opening May - it's all good though!

Since I'm not sure when the new store will open up I went ahead a created Volunteer schedule until end of October. Please click link below if you can help!
Please consider volunteering during market pick up. I can’t run the market without your help! Shifts are 1 hour long and go by really fast. It's a great opportunity to meet and help your fellow members!
Thank you Kelly, Gwen, Erika, and Melanie for volunteering last Wednesday! We couldn't have the co-op without our amazing volunteers!!
