News Highlights
Carrell Farms - Order this week! Shalley and David have decided to deliver their pasture raised Buffalo and Alpaca every other week instead of monthly. Their delicious and healthy meats are back on the market THIS week. Lamb is still not available but they will have plenty soon. I'll keep you posted! Scroll down for more details about Carrell Farms.
My Daily Bread - Dabrielle and Bruce will be out of town 9/5 they will be back the following week.
B&B (Bradbury Raw Honey) Bob and Bev will be on vacation from 8/23 to 9/5. They have some table sales at the market if you need honey while they are out of town.
Leilani's Farm will be offering squash, green beans, eggplant, peppers, and zucchini. Tomatoes will be back on as soon as they are ready. So keep an eye out for those. We;re getting close to the end of summer veggies. Feel free to freeze this year's harvest so you'll have plenty of veggies for soups and stews in the winter.
Fry Farm will be taking a break while they are waiting for some crops to come in. There just isn't enough growing right now to offer their harvest boxes.

Group Buy: Carrell Farms
Meats are 100% grass fed and finished. They are produced without GMOs, chemicals, hormones, nor antibiotics of any kind.
Carrell Farms is a family owned, grass-based livestock operation featuring 100% grass fed, chemical-free, USDA processed Asian water buffalo. Seasonally they offer 100% grass fed lamb and other species. They are the first alpaca farm in the Southeastern US and offer alpaca shearing and farm consulting services.
New to Alpaca meat? Carrell Farms Grass fed Alpaca is a real treat!
Alpaca is a very mild, sweet meat, similar to pork but without the pig,chop cooks up a very similar in color and texture to pork. Their alpacas are 100% grass fed and antibiotic free. Grass Fed a species appropriate diet, No Soy, No GMOs. Raised with love and respect, not hormones and antibiotics.
Here is another gentle reminder that ''It is okay to be different''.
My personal favorite is the Alpaca Andouille Sausage - makes a flavorful Jambalaya or chili!
Why water buffalo? Well why not? Water Buffalo tastes great! It has an honest red meat flavor with no gaminess. There is no need to marinade or over season our water buffalo as the flavor is grown right in. No need to drain - any excess fat is highly nutritious! Water Buffalo ground is excellent for burgers, chili, meat loaf, sloppy joes, spaghetti sauce, etc.! Be sure to try our famous Buffalo Con Queso recipe ( recipe on Suwanee's website). Children and adults alike really love it!
Omega 3 fats have a much lower melting point than Omega 6 fats. Expect grass fed meats to cook in 1/3 less time than contemporary grain fed meat.
