GROUP BUY: Unrefined Sea Salts (ONCE A YEAR ORDER) Don't miss it!
Our long awaited group buy for Unrefined Sea Salts from Saltworks is finally here!
We only order Sel gris de Guérande (Grey Sea Salt) and Himalayan Pink Sea Salt (Ancient Ocean) once a year so you don’t want to miss out! Order this weekend!
Please expect to pick up your salt order by December 19th. With shipping this time of year I never know what to expect. See my gift idea below. During the holidays I gift this salt to friends and family and they absolutely love it! See more DETAILS about salts in bottom of this newsletter.
GROUP BUY: Wilderness Family Naturals (Last one of the year!)
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic coconut oils and pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals (Wildly Organic).
These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, whole grains, coconut products, and natural sweeteners.
These Group Buy Items WILL NOT be at pick up this Wednesday. This is usually quite a large order and I will place our group buy order after I receive payment on Wednesday. This is a pre-paid pre-order and payment is expected this Wednesday at pick or you can mail a check. Please expect at least 2 weeks for this order to arrive by 12/19
NEW FARM: PRESLEY'S FARM (Goat Meat)
Goats on pasture
Pigs and Non GMO feed
Produce - no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides
CARRELL FARMS ON THE MARKET THIS WEEK
Carrell Farms will have their pasture raised buffalo, lamb, and alpaca on the market this week. Water buffalo is a delicious substitute for any beef recipe! Alpaca meat is like pork without the pig. It is a lean meat and has the lowest cholesterol of any meat you’ll find, even skinless chicken. Bone broths, ground, and sausages are available. Carrell Farms sells on the market every other week.
NO MARKET DAY on December 26th! - Closed for Christmas

PRE-ORDER A HOLIDAY HAM
NEW ITEMS!
This was added a little too late last week so A Good Gut Feeling is going to list again this item again this weekend. This will be on the market every couple of weeks. They have to justify making a big batch so order this week if you want some. I'm excited to try and I've heard good things about it from a couple of you that have been lucky to try already. Organic red peppers are roasted, peeled and cooked with organic tomatoes, smoked paprika, olive oil, garlic, salt and red pepper flakes. Although it’s a tradition to serve it with couscous, try it on burgers, omelettes, poached eggs, quinoa, rice or with fresh bread and crackers. Also try our Moroccan Red Pepper Salad with a Kick!

Holiday Floral Arrangements
These make a beautiful holiday display that will last the whole season and with proper care, the bulbs will last years and rebloom. Perfect Hostess gift, holiday gift, or gift to yourself!
Real Foodie Tip of the week!
I know it sounds a little strange but it was delicious! I spread about 1 TBSP of Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus and some shredded monterey jack cheese on a whole grain tortilla and toasted in the toaster oven. Served with a side salad and was a perfect quick lunch. The creaminess of the cheese combined with velvety sweet potato hummus and the crunch of the tortilla was a wonderful combination! It's my daughter's new favorite after school snack!
PLEASE HELP! Volunteers Needed at pick up!

Unrefined Sea Salt Details
ANCIENT OCEAN® Himalayan Pink Salt
Harvested from ancient sea salt deposits that lie deep beneath the Himalayas, our Ancient Ocean® Himalayan Pink Salt by SaltWorks® is one of the best mineral salts available. Protected from the ages by the breathtaking mountains in Pakistan, the crystalized sea salt that was once a prehistoric ocean is now a pure, mineral-rich salt that has garnered more than a cult following. Treasured for its clean, upfront salt taste and its extraordinary color, all-natural Himalayan Pink Salt has become an important ingredient in kitchens worldwide. The varying shades of delicate pink to dark rose are the lasting result of trace minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium.
Grey Sea Salt Description
The French perfected the art of high quality, hand-harvested sea salt by using centuries old Celtic methods. It’s no coincidence they produce the finest grey sea salt in the world. Sel Gris is known for its beautiful grey color, coming from the clay lining the salt ponds, as well as its high moisture content and extraordinary mineral content, with bonus nutrients not found in most sea salts. Over 15% of the material in sel gris de Guérande are trace minerals—possibly the highest of any salt anywhere. 100 grams of sel gris contains about 100 minerals, including 34g of sodium, 287mg calcium, 109mg potassium, 34mg magnesium, 11mg iron, 1mg manganese, and 0.35mg zinc, plus a host of trace minerals like from antimony, copper, germanium, and gold to iodine, to palladium, yttrium, and zirconium.
Sel Gris Tamisé is a medium-sized crystal that is carefully sifted from the brut grains and is comparable to the size of Fleur de Sel. Great for baking and cooking, or to add a delicate crunch to your favorite dish.
Sel Gris Fine is the very same high quality grey salt as the coarser varieties, but is stone ground for easy dispensing from a salt shaker. No additives of any kind are mixed with the salt.The naturally delicious flavor of grey salt and its lower sodium content make this a perfect replacement for ordinary table salt.
Gift Idea- Pour unrefined sea salt into a decorative glass jar, add beautiful ribbon and it’s the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! You can even add a card with the description above. Makes a perfect Hostess gift too!
Zelle - New Payment Option with no fees
I’m offering a new payment option – Zelle! There is no fee to you or me to use this option. You may use starting this week!
You will need a mobile phone to use this payment method.
How to use:
Find Zelle in the mobile banking app of your bank or credit union. If you already have your banking app on your phone, there’s no download necessary. If your bank or credit union doesn’t offer Zelle yet, just download the Zelle app to get started.
Once you enroll, you can send money using my email address suwaneewholelife@gmail.com or my mobile number 404-934-4644 to pay for your order. It’s super easy and fast – just enter the amount you want to send.
I prefer we do this like PayPal and send your money before pick up on Wednesday. Best to initiate payment right after you order so you don’t forget.
Starting Nov 5th, this will replace the Dwolla payment option. You may still use Dwolla until then if you would like.
