New Grower: Gibson Farm
Information about Gibson Farm:
Gibson Farm is a Family Farm located in Cumming,GA. The land we farm was farmed as far back as 150 years ago. We grow approximately 5 full acres of Organic food. We started this Farm in 2010, and have added fields as well as seasonal growing seasons. We are truly chemical free, 100%. Our reasons for starting this Farm were totally health related, as in 2009 our then 11 year old son became deathly I’ll. After beginning the Farm his health improved, and we eventually self diagnosed him with Celiac Disease. We have 5 out of 7 members in our family with Autoimmune disease. We can’t afford to consume poisons. We are honored to provide true food to those how want and appreciate true clean food.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to be you Local farmer! - DeLynn Gibson
New! Coconut Milk Kefir
You have got to try this! I've been waiting weeks for Cultured Traditions to release their newest item - Coconut Milk Kefir. This is a drinkable version and has a smoothie like consistency. It's absolutely delicious! Lightly sweetened with pure maple syrup, you can drink it directly out of the bottle or pour into a bowl add fresh berries and granola if you'd like for a wonderful probiotic filled treat. This is dairy free so if you are lactose intolerant this is a great way to get beneficial probiotics into your diet.
Thank you to those that requested this item! It's because of you that we now have this amazing product now on the market!
