Cedar Seeder Wellness Farm to the Rescue!


Last year George Jones of Cedar Seeder Wellness Farm and I spoke about adding his Farm as a Market location. Due to various projects that needed completion, the decision to add the Farm to Heirloom Living Market locations was put on hold. Knowing our re-location quandary, George has offered to allow us to set up shop at the Farm. He has made some changes to one of his outbuildings and I will be going over there on Wednesday to meet with him and hopefully finalize plans to move Market this Saturday.


That is the good news! It is a solution that will solve our “Market Hub” issues; however, it will be a bit far for Crossfit Ozone (Lawrenceville Market Members)!


Please know that I appreciate the support that the faithful Members of this Market have given over the last 3 years. The friendships that have been formed are treasured and I pray will continue! Right now, there is no other solution. I will keep looking for a place in Lawrenceville and re-open a pickup location when (and if) I can find an appropriate place. Since it will only necessitate 4 hours a week and no storage for a fridge and freezer, it may be that it will be easier to find a place in Lawrenceville. In the meantime, I ask for your patience and invite you to come to pickup at Cedar Seeder Wellness Farm starting next week.


The information for the new location is:

Cedar Seeder Wellness Farm
4108 Anderson Livsey Lane
Snellville, GA 30039

The other option that I can offer you is ordering from either of Nora Lea’s Markets, Buford Locally Grown or Suwanee Locally Grown Market. Obviously, the names of the Markets indicate their locations! Pickup is on Tuesday at Buford and Thursday at Suwanee and Nora has some of the same Farmers, Vendors and Artisans that we have on our Market: Cedar Rock Dairy (Raw Cow Milk and Eggs), Little Tots Estate (Raw Goat Milk and Eggs), My Daily Bread (Organic Bakery items), Fry Farm (Veggies) You can find a link to Nora’s Markets by clicking either of the links below:


Take me to Buford Locally Grown Market.



Take me to Suwanee Locally Grown Market.

This week’s Market orders a pitifully small and we are not even 1/3 of the way to meeting minimum as I write this. The last few weeks have been slow also and I do not know if it is because of the coming changes, people being on vacation or general disinterest in continuing. Our Farmers must have a minimum amount of orders for it to be worth stopping activities at their Farms to package, sort, deliver goods to the Market. Truthfully, we have been pushing the envelope on this for a while and I applaud the Farmers for their passion and dedication and continuation of deliveries!

If you have not ordered, please get your order in by 8:00pm this evening! Remember Milk Orders must be in by 2:00pm! I hope to see you this week at Market pickup It will be our final week at our present location.


HELP!


Again, I am asking for Volunteers for helping pack up and load the Market this Saturday. We will meet at 1:15 at the Market and it should take no more than a couple/three hours to get it all done. George of Cedar Seeder Wellness Farm has generously volunteered his truck and trailer! We do need another truck to transport the 6 tables to Sarah’s home which is about 8 minutes east on 316! Please contact me by phone at 404-432-4337. We CANNOT do this by ourselves!


We appreciate your support of our LOCAL Farmers and of the Market! Please SHARE the Market with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers!
