New Vendor! A&L Artisan Supply
I'm happy to welcome A&L Artisan Supply to the market! Andrew and his wife are co-op members and local Suwanee residents. They will be providing the market natural bath and body products and candles. Please show them your support! Here's more information about them:
Our story began years ago when we decided to make the move to being more organic and reducing the volume of synthetic chemicals from our lives. From our first test batch of homemade soap to our cold processed handmade soaps, scrubs, candles, and more that we offer today, we have learned that simpler is often better.
We use only natural and organic (when possible) ingredients in our products. All of our products are phthalate and paraben free. Our essential oils are aromatherapy grade.
Our GMO-free palm ingredients are procured from certified Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) sources. To become certified, RSPO-certified suppliers must meet stringent requirements for production, including a commitment to sustainable farming practices. For example, certified farms must protect rainforest areas and endangered species’ habitats by pledging to not deforest areas, drain peat bogs, or remove indigenous peoples from their homes, among many other requirements.
Our products are dyed using only natural herbs, clays, or spices. We NEVER use synthetic dyes or fillers in our products.
At A&L Artisan Supply, we believe in our company motto: Nature Made, Thoughtfully Crafted.
SALE! Elderberry Kit & Herbal Tea Blends
Cedar Rock Eggs back on the market
PLEASE HELP! Volunteers Needed at pick up!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! We need 3 volunteers this Wed, 3/13 at 2pm, 3pm and 5pm.
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 fellow members!
Thank you Chuck, Gwen, Miki, Kristen, and Michele for volunteering last Wednesday! We couldn't have the co-op without our amazing volunteers!!
If you are interested in volunteering but unsure exactly what that involves, please let Nora know and she will do a quick "volunteer orientation" with you on a day/time that you pick up.
