Group Buy: GRASS FED COLLAGEN
We order this every 2 months so keep this in mind when ordering. If you're unfamiliar with this product here's a great article that explains what it is and how to use it : https://wellnessmama.com/3058/collagen-hydrolysate/
My husband and I use collagen to help with joint issues and works great! Easy to use!
I've added a new MENU item called Group Buys to help you locate the group buy products on the website.
Group Buy: FERMENTED COD LIVER OILS AND OTHER GREEN PASTURE PRODUCTS
FCLO Group buy is this weekend! We will be taking pre-orders for Fermented Cod Liver Oils and other Green Pasture products. You can see all products in the Group Buy section of the market website.
As with all Group Buys, this item will NOT be available this Wednesday's pick up. I will be placing our order on Monday morning and due to shipping it will not arrive in time for this Wednesday pick up. I expect it to be available for pick up the following Wednesday. This is a prepaid pre-order and payment is expected this Wednesday.
A&A Alta Cucina on the market this week
Order Alta Cucina Italia's award winning, local, small batch tomato sauces, balsamic vinegars, pestos, infused olive oils, and more this weekend. We only order from them once a month so please keep this in mind when ordering. Ordered items will be at this Wednesday's pick up.
Adriana uses organic herbs and fruits for the balsamic & olive oils. Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar that comes from Italy, it's not certified organic but free of GMOs. In Italy all 20 regions are against the cultivation of GMOs.
I love the crema balsamica! Makes a great salad dressing - just mix with EVOO, sea salt & pepper add a little dijon for mustard kick. Sometimes I don't even mix, I just drizzle over my salad greens. Too easy!

Exciting News from Miki - Azuki's Kitchen
Azuki’s Kitchen has been truly appreciating your big support since we joined in this co-op market in 2018 until now.
We are currently working on our new commercial kitchen construction. We hopefully will be back on the market this July.
When resuming business in this new kitchen, we will not only provide the current healthy bakery but also switch the menu that introduces more Japanese home-styled foods. Our kitchen hopes to utilize the local fresh products in this way as well.
Friday of January 10th will be the last day of your preorders at Living Well Farmers Market. We’re very looking forward to seeing your orders again when my new kitchen is ready!
Sincerely yours,
Miki (Owner of Azuki’s Kitchen LLC)
