GROUP BUY: Fermented Cod Liver and Skate oils, Grass Fed Collagen & Gelatin!
If you are new to the co-op, group buys are special deals we get from various companies and farms because we buy in a larger quantity. I will place our order this Monday and our items usually arrive in a week for the following Tuesday pick up, not this Tuesday. These items are considered a pre-order and payment is expected this Tuesday. I expect these to arrive in time for the June 20th pick up

Pearl Mill Farms
Pearl Milll Farms is located on beautiful Richard B. Russell Lake in Elbert County, Georgia. Started by two families (one is a Suwanee Whole Life Co-op member) that have divinely partnered together for the purposes of sustainably raising all natural beef, poultry, eggs, pork, goat milk (LaMancha) and related dairy products – all of which they happily provide to friends, family and the local community. In addition, they are utilizing hydroponics fodder (seed sprouts from barley, sunflower and peas) as the main food source for their livestock. They make their farm available for farm tours and hands-on educational activities as well! Looking forward to our co-op taking a tour soon! In the meantime here's a virtual tour video. More videos will be posted soon
