News Highlights
THANKSGIVING WEEK PICK UP - We will have pick up on Wednesday instead of Thursday. Fresh Harvest produce baskets will also be delivered on Wed so disregard any emails you received that say otherwise. I've asked them to send an email to co-op members to confirm.
Fry Farm will have carrots, ginger, turmeric, N. Ga. Candy roasters, sunchokes, Napa Cabbage and Luffa sponges this week! They won't be offering our Harvest Boxes this week. The greens are needing some rest. They will be taking off the week after Thanksgiving and hopefully adding greens and boxes back after that. They will continue to list individual items as long as they can.
Gibson Farm will list organically grown Collard Greens this week. Also, gluten free pumpkin pie and pumpkin bread made from the heirloom pie pumpkins they grow on their farm. This is a seasonal offering so order while they have these items.
My Daily Bread will have Gluten Free and regular pumpkin rolls, bagels, and veggie cream cheese listed on the market in addition to all there wonderful baked goods. They will be running a special for the holiday on cases of jams. If you order a full case (12 jars), they are $5 each, instead of $6. Dabrielle usually puts festive fabric toppers on them so they are gift giving ready!
HoneyBerry Naturals - New! "Our Co-op Soap" - that's what Sherry decided to name it since it's made from several ingredients obtained right here at our own co-op! A nice general use bar of milk soap. Smaller 3 oz bar. Ingredients: Local pastured Lard, Organic Coconut Oil, Water, Local Grass Fed Milk, Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Organic Raw Shea Butter, Colloidal Oatmeal, Activated Charcoal, Eucalyptus Essential Oil.
Dancing Hearts Homestead - New! Planter - Twice as Nice Pansy /Mixed Bulbs A mix of pansies fill an 8" planter to brighten your winter. In early spring when it seems the gloom will never end, up pop crocus, grape hyacinth and iris reticulata. Pansies are a mix of yellow, cream, orange, white or blue planted over 3 yellow crocus, 3 blue/purple grape hyacinth and 1 blue or white iris. Perfect by your front door to greet guests this holiday season!
Group Buy - Wilderness Family Naturals and Great Lakes Collagen delayed until after Thanksgiving - With many of you going out of town, I've decided to postpone the WFN and collagen group buy until Dec 1st.
Cultured Traditions - Pickled beets are back on the market! Absolutely delicious probiotic snack! Perfect in a salad!
Thank you Michele for volunteering today!! I don't usually have a volunteer during pick up but appreciated the help! If any of you are interested in volunteering please let me know. I'm wondering if I did have some interested volunteers I might be able to extend co-op pick up hours. Feel free to email me at suwaneewholelife@gmail.com if this might be something you would be interested in doing.
Back In Time Chicken is fully stocked on the market!
