Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:

The beautiful sunrise brought evidence of the hard frost which descended overnight and very chilly temperatures in the North Georgia Mountains this morning! It’s crisp and ‘cripsy’ as The Black padded around his domain!

The Market is open for ordering and if you would like to fore-go reading the Newsletter —

…on to the rest of the news …
If you have your beverage of choice in hand and have a few minutes to catch up with Market news, then read on…

Heartfelt Gratitude

“Thank You” to the Market Coordinators: Lauren Stephens at the Crossfit Market, Sarah Rockey at the Hamilton Mill Market and Kathy Barnes, at the Lilburn Market. These ladies give most of their day on Thursday to ensure that we all can enjoy the fruits of our Local Farmers labors! I know the amount of work and effort, patience and ingenuity Market Day involves and I appreciate their efforts more than words can express!


In addition I would like to thank the following folks who routinely volunteer to assist with set-up, Market and breakdown:
Geni Wallace, Bruce Wallace and sons, Susan Coker, Rebecca White, Nancy Tuck, Karen Thain, Sara Heath and Keb Barnes! And last but not least, Chance Claar-Pressley for coordinating all the great volunteers! You all “Rock”! The Market is a community and you all help keep it going!


Susan Martinson, a Market Member and All Saints Lutheran Church Member is also helping us at the Lilburn Market, setting up the Market display table as well as selling Organic, Free Trade Coffees, Teas and delicious Chocolate Bars. Do try the Midnight Sun if you like a full-bodied yummy morning coffee! All Saints is using this endeavor as a Fund Raiser, so please take a minute and check out the products. Products will be display and showcased at all of the Markets. Sue just got in “Organic Chocolate Chips” and you can check them out on Market Day! The Congregation and Pastor Stover have been wonderful friends to the Market and are very supportive of our efforts! Let’s return the favor!

Farmer Updates


Farmer Ricky Brown of Back River Farm, Doug Ruling of Doug’s Garden, Vicky and Steve Fry of Fry Farm and Roger and Reggie Ramos of Grow with the Flow are not offering any items at this time. We thank them all for their hard work and dedication to growing good, clean, nourishing produce for the Market and hope to see them all again soon!


Cedar Seeder I have sung the praises of the Micro (Veggie) Wraps! Have you tried the Bakery Bars. Some folks are becoming seriously addicted! If you haven’t tried them, order one today – great Breakfast or Snack! In addition to their Cedar, handmade planters, you can find their Microgreens for Pets combos for Cats and Dogs and for us humans: Arugula, Basil, Broccoli, Kale, Radish, Sunflower and Wheatgrass! These greens are ready to be snipped and added to smoothies, salads or your favorite juice!

Tammy and Jeff Soseby of Peacefield Farms offer hydroponically grown Beefsteak Tomatoes. You can still have a taste of summer in your salads! A variety of other winter veggies are growing and will be available soon!

Tammy is also offering some homemade scarves that are beautiful. Check them out when you are perusing the Market!


The Veggie Patch is providing a good selection of wonderful, fresh veggie offerings and have fresh Herbs listed as well! Basil, Chives, Mint, Oregano,2 kinds of Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme and Medicinal Herbs Chamomile and Lavender. Veggies include: Arugula, Broccoli Crowns, Bok Choi, Red Carrots, 4 types of Eggplant, 3 kinds of Kale, 3 Lettuce varieties, Mizuna, Nappa Cabbage, Okra 13 varieties of Peppers from Sweet to ‘call the fire department’ HOT; Swiss Chard and The Weekly Veggie Box.


Be sure and check out the meat selections available from Heritage Farm. Greg tells me that sausage and bacon will be available soon! Have you tried Greg’s “Snack Sticks”? They have already become a Member favorite. These lightly seasoned, cured and smoked treats are made from 100% grass fed and finished beef and make a wonderful snack! Caution: they are addictive!


Bone Broth made from the Soup Bones from Heritage Farm is rich and delicious! Just the ticket to ward off those ‘winter bugs’ and boost your immune system! I enjoy a combination of Beef and Lamb and although the Black Lab gets his share, he has been known to ‘share’ my cup of bone broth if I leave the room with it sitting on the coffee table!


David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Try a Brisket smoked! Delicious! Shalley makes a wonderful line of Natural Skin Care Products using the tallow from the Water Buffalo. Her Face Creams are luscious! I am currently using the Tallow Foot Butter which has Peppermint Essential Oil in it. Oh, Wow! Feels great and my feet are looking and feeling great!


Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed.


My Daily Bread From Challah to Sourdough Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread to Cookies, Dabrielle’s Organic, Fresh Baked Goods are sure to please. Her delicious variety of holiday treats includes Sweet Bread Trays, Cookie Platters, Holiday Gift Baskets and Gingerbread Boys nestled in an adorable little felted basket, complete with felt Ginger Boys and handle! Perfect Teacher gift!



Need an original gift for someone who lives out of town? Check out Dabrielle’s Gift Baskets! You can choose the items you would like included – she will bake, package and mail your Basket, Breads, Cookies to your special recipient! How easy is that? Don’t see listed what you would like to send? Give Dabrielle a call at 706-878-6826 and she will help you choose the perfect holiday treat to send!

Dabrielle has created a wonderful Gluten Free Greek Pasta Salad that is a real taste treat served cold or warm! Her yummy Hot Pepper Peach Cheese Log is rolled in crushed Pecans and a perfect appetizer for your Holiday party or feast!




…and for your Gluten Free family and friends Marie of Bakery on Brooks has these beautiful Cookie Gift Boxes available on the Market. Since Marie is Gluten Free, she has created breads, rolls, cookies and treats that she and her entire family can enjoy. She is a Master at Gluten Free baking! I promise you will not be disappointed!



Jay and Patti of Dances With Bees have Honey offerings as well as some other great products! They were the Farmers of the Week at Lilburn this past week and both had new offerings to share!

Jay now has Comb Honey, uniquely packaged and ready to go into stockings! I had some this morning on toasted Gluten Free Cornbread from Bakery on Brooks! It is fragrant and delicious. The ‘comb’ melts with the honey into the bread and what a decadent treat!


Patti has created some wonderful all Natural Personal Care Products from Scrubs to Lotions and a great variety of Bath soaks made from Dead Sea Salts and pure essential oils. Any of the Gift Sets would make a wonderful gift. She has several varieties. Or choose one item and add a Beewax Candle! Who wouldn’t appreciate that great combo? Be sure and check out the offerings from Dances With Bees for yourself or for gift giving!


The Happy Cows belonging to Sam Jones of Cedar Rock Dairy continue to produce wonderful milk (for our pets)! The cream line on the jars these last couple of weeks has been impressive! Keep up the good work, ladies! Located in Butler, Georgia, Sam’s cows enjoy grazing on 1200 acres of this Certified Organic Farm and we are fortunate that he is willing to transport this fresh, creamy milk to us. Working together, we need to ensure that we meet a minimum order for each Market so it remains economically viable for deliveries to continue! Share the goodness of Cedar Rock Dairy milk with friends and family!


Remember, you need 3 sets of jars to keep things flowing smoothly. If you order an extra one week, you likely will be missing one the following week. The Market can no longer absorb the cost if you receive your milk in plastic and you will be charged the difference. Your jars need to be ‘sparkling clean’ and completely dry (jar and BOTH lids)!

Raw Milk Jar System
A1 vs A2 Milk


Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! (Did you know that Rusty is from Ohio? True!) The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The milk from Little Tots also makes wonderful cheese! It is great for pets with stomach issues, also! To keep The Black Lab, healthy, he enjoys some everyday!


Kathy Barnes of So-Koi not only helps out at the Markets, she is also the wonderful lady that makes the great lanyards, aprons, pillowcases and tiny purse bags (for carrying your own sweeteners, salts, etc.) Check out her offerings that are all hand made with love! In addition, Kathy is now offering Real Salt, Einkorn Grain and Einkorn Flour. These items are now listed on the Markets!

… this and that …

I wish you all a happy weekend and a wonderful week! Thank you for taking the time to read this long missive…

Please know that we appreciate the support of All Saints Lutheran Church, Crossfit O-Zone Gym and the Hamilton Mill Community for the use of the great spaces for Market. We are grateful for you and for your support of our dedicated, LOCAL Farmers/Growers and Artisans.

Perfect to take to that Christmas Office gathering, give to a friend whose diet is restricted to Gluten Free selections or buy one for yourself! Marie’s goodies are an excellent choice for anyone!

She is a Master at Gluten Free baking! I promise you will not be disappointed!




My Daily Bread


Dabrielle and Bruce are enjoying a brief respite in Hilton Head this week. Next week look for featured Holiday products from My Daily Bread! The little Gingerbread cookies are so cute and delicious and Dabrielle offer Cookie and Bread Gift Platters also!


Produce

Mother Nature’s cold snap brought a big change in availability of items from some of our Farmers. Back River Farm and Fry Farm sadly have no items to offer at this time! Hopefully they will return soon.


Peacefield Farm

Have your tried Tammy and Jeff’s Beefsteak Tomatoes? They are grown hydroponically and are delicious! Tomatoes in November? Yep and they are mighty tasty. Tammy just reduced the price on these wonders! Because another Market they participate in dictated prices, she didn’t know she was able to offer at our Market at their chosen pricing! Check them out today! Additional items are growing and will be available very soon!


The Veggie Patch

Andrew and crew have a big variety of fresh veggies for us to choose from! Check out their offerings. You will find everything from Broccoli to fresh greens to peppers and Veggie Boxes!

My Daily Bread will have fresh baked breads and other organic baked goods available this week but will be taking a well deserved vacation the following week.


Feel free to stock up this week so you won’t miss having your My Daily Bread items! All of their items freeze well, taste fresh upon thawing and will keep in the freezer for 4-6 weeks if double wrapped!


Marie of Bakery on Brooks does not have items listed on the Markets this week. She will return next week! Marie has created Parker House Rolls that are gluten free and made with organic ingredients. Be sure and order some next week! I love all of her products, but these rolls are now at the top of my list of favorites!

Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has tasty treats that would enhance any Thanksgiving Feast. Cinnamon Rolls or Pumpkin Spice Bread or Muffins paired with a Sausage and Veggie Fritatta with eggs from Golden Farms or Rocky Acres Farm and Sausage from B&G or Heritage Farm with Peppers, Onions, Spinach from The Veggie Patch sounds like a great Breakfast to start the day!

Or start your day with a Smoothie made with tender, nutritious microgreens from George and Krista of Cedar Seeder. They also offer Bakery Bars that are oh-so-good!

Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has started on her Christmas baking and will have Sweet Bread Platters available this week – great to have on hand for nibbling later in the day with leftovers or a wonderful Hostess Gift. Her Gingerbread Boys are sure to bring a smile to the children and adults alike, served with a glass of cold fresh milk from Cedar Rock Dairy or Little Tot’s Estate!


Need appetizers? Hummus or Pestos offered by Jennifer of Jennifer’s Pesto would be a good choice or check out the Pepper Cheese Log from My Daily Bread.

Need Veggies? We have Kale, Mustard Greens, Collard Greens or Nappa Cabbage that can be sauteed for a Southern side dish for the big day. I use a mixture of Nappa Cabbage and Kale with little bits of B&G’s Spicy Sausage and add some Onion and Garlic! Good eating! You could order a Produce Box from Doug’s Garden or from The Veggie Patch for an assortment! Sounds wonderful! I have been enjoying the tasty Tomatoes from Peacefield Farm and am getting both Red and Green this week. Great tasting Tomatoes at Thanksgiving? Who knew?

The ‘Star of the Show’ for most folks will be a Turkey! Unfortunately, we did not have access to pre-order free-range, organic birds this year, so I trust you found your own source. I brine my turkey and it is always awesome!


There is a slim possibility that Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm will have few Turkeys that people who had pre-ordered did not claim for one reason or another…. I will not know for sure until Monday evening. Cost per pound is $7.90 but again, I will not know IF there will be any available, the number available or the size until Monday evening after Greg has delivered what was pre-ordered. You can call me at 404-432-4337 if you want to be on the list to get a Turkey if there are any available. If you are on the list, I will call you Monday night to let you know that outcome!

If you haven’t found Turkey or you prefer another meat for your Feast, check out the Beef, Pork or Chicken offered by Lynda Brady of B&G Farms, or Chicken, Beef, Lamb or Pork products offered by Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm or the Water Buffalo offered by Carrell Farms


The Yeast Rolls from My Daily Bread are fabulous! Hmmm, Honey from Dances with Bees b> would taste mighty fine on those Yeast Rolls! My Daily Bread also offers a variety of Jam, Jellies and Preserves that are fabulous.


Oh, and don’t forget the Pumpkin! Dabrielle made some delicious roasted and pureed Organic Pumpkin. Truly, Pumpkin Pie is great; however, Pumpkin Pie made from fresh Pumpkin is awesome! Top that pie with whipped cream made from the thick rich cream on top of the great raw milk from Cedar Rock Dairy! Order an extra 1/2 gallon, skim off the cream and make butter or whipped cream and use the remaining milk/butter milk for baking. Freeze the extra!

Someone posted a little “Thanksgiving Humor” on Facebook and it is too cute NOT to share! I laughed out loud! Singing Turkey

A few other items to consider, especially if you are going to be a guest this Thanksgiving. Kathy Barnes of So-Koi creates Retro Aprons in several different patterns, which would make an awesome Hostess Gift. Monique Huenergardt of Mo’s Tats and Stitches handcrafts beautiful Heirloom quality snowflake ornaments, home decorations, ear rings and has them on the Market. Tammy Soseby of Peacefield Farm has hand-crafted some beautiful scarves! Three talented ladies, dedicated to offering us handmade-with-love treasures! Buying from local Artisans, whom you have the opportunity to meet and get to know, I think is special! Buying local also helps grow the economy.

And if the Hostess has a pet – remember to check out Low Low Knows Bones for Organic yummy Pet Treats to appease the hungry beasts! (Plus you will make lots of Brownie Points! Pet owners have a special place in their hearts for their animals and love when others recognize this bond!) The Black Lab gobbles up the Pumpkin flavor!

Sarah, Lauren, Kathy (The Market Coordinators) and I recognize that we are truly blessed to have the wonderful group of Farmers, Producers and Artisans who are passionate about bringing us “the best of the best”! We are grateful for their dedication.

Please know that we are grateful to you, our Members, for your unfailing support of our efforts to make the Market a community resource for nutrient-dense, clean fresh and local food! Your encouragement, suggestions, recommendations to others and your friendship have blessed my life and I am appreciative.

personal reflections

I have had time these last few days to reflect on memories of past Thanksgivings shared with family and friends. Whether I was cooking in my own kitchen, helping in another or a guest in someone’s home, the happiness that I have felt for the love that is shared on this special holiday still fills my heart with joy!

It isn’t about a “perfect meal” – it can be the simplest of fare or a huge feast. It isn’t about pulling out the silver and the best china or the lace tablecloth. It isn’t about show. It is about gratitude! Expressing our heartfelt thanks to another warms their heart and ours.

I give thanks to God for my many blessings and even for the “I’m-not-so-sure-this-is-a-blessing” situations and especially the hardships, losses, issues that I face that are less than pleasant, the “I-don’t-see-this-as-a-blessing” conditions. I am truly grateful for all of the joys and sorrows that became my life. They are part of me and have shaped the person that I am today. I am grateful to Him that I awaken each day to see the beautiful sunrise; grateful at the end of the day as the sky is painted at sunset and grateful for all of the moments in between. He blesses me each and every moment – through His hand and the lives of each person I encounter and I am humbled and grateful to be touched.

Please, take a moment and reflect on the many blessings you have in your life. Live ‘in the moment’ and become ‘aware’! Take the time to say: “Thank you!” I promise, it will bring joy to your heart!


Black Lab Update Finally … after 3 days of laying the underground fence, attaching to the existing ‘real fence’, testing, finding a short, replacing wire, retesting and meeting with success, the Black Lab is securely ‘contained’ in the backyard. After escaping 2 weeks ago and MIA for 6 hours, my angst and worry forced me to spend the considerable time and effort to ensure his safety. I obviously could not rely on his ‘trustworthiness’ (or lack thereof) to NOT dig under and out of the fence! I now have peace of mind when I let him outside! Such a blessing! I just have to figure out how to keep the dogs from the surrounding properties from digging into the yard!


I wish you and yours a truly wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing in the Heirloom Living Market Family!

Now, hop on over to your Market and get that shopping done! Market closes tonight at 6:00pm! We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Order now since you are just a click away!
