Greetings Crossfit / Lawrenceville Market Members:
I hope this finds you all well and that you enjoyed the beautiful weekend weather doing something fun with family and friends. I spent a wonderful afternoon in Ellajay at the Apple Festival. Good friends, good food, beautiful weather .. can’t ask for more than that.
Market News
ALL Markets now close at 6:00pm on Monday! If Market minimums are not met, an email will be sent after ordering closes and all orders cancelled for the week.
Lauren Stephens is doing a great job coordinating the Crossfit O-Zone / Lawrenceville Market. I am sure that most of you have met her by now!
Please put her phone number in your contact list so if you have any issues on Market day you can contact Lauren directly.
Crossfit O-Zone/ The Lawrenceville Market will pickup between 4:30 and 6:30pm on Thursday. If you are unable to pick up during this time frame, please let Lauren know. Since this location has ‘permanent space’, alternate arrangements are possible, but you will need to let her know that is your intention!
Vicky and Steve of Fry Farm are adding to their offerings as the Fall crops come in! This week they have some new Winter Veggies for us. They include: Arugula, Collard Greens, Mustard Greens, ‘Black Tuscan’ as well as ‘Red Russian’ Kale, Popcorn and French Breakfast Radishes. Have you every sauteed Radishes? Try it with these and I think you will be totally surprised at how wonderful they are fixed this way! Also the Golden Nugget Squash are quite good and I am enjoying baking them! The Black Lab has been enjoying them too!
I spoke with Doug of Doug’s Garden yesterday and although he does have some items coming in, it just isn’t enough to be able to supply all of the Markets quite yet. He anticipates veggies will be coming in nicely next week, so be sure and look for his offerings at Market next week!
Ricky Brown of Back River Farm is also waiting for Winter Veggies to harvest. At present, Ricky is offering: Chocolate Peppers, Flavorburst Bell Peppers, Eggplant and Arugula! Keep an eye out for other items in the next week!
Andrew and his crew at The Veggie Patch have a plethora of Winter Seedlings, (oh, how I miss my garden!) Fow The current harvest include Arugula, Broccoli Crowns, Cucumbers, 4 varieties of Eggplant, 3 types of Kale, 2 Lettuces, Napa Cabbage, Okra, Sweet Bell Peppers and many types of Hot Peppers — from mild to call-the-fire-department-my mouth-is-on-fire HOT!!! They are also offering a Salad Mix, Swiss Chard, Squash, Tatsoi and Mized Cherry Tomatoes. Also, don’t forget to check out their Herb offerings. In addition, they list some Ready to Eat Products…sauces, soups, pickles..be sure and check them out!
Jeff and Tammy of Peachfield Farm are offering ‘Beefsteak Tomatoes’ this week and Jeff tells me they will have more offerings in the near future. Fried Green Tomatoes have been a staple these last few weeks and they are wonderful. I didn’t see any listed this week; however, the Beefsteaks are flavorful and I love having good tomatoes in October! We will have these until Spring because they are grown hydroponically!
I haven’t checked with Marie of Bakery on Brooks to know if we will have items for sale at Markets this week; however, when I send the Reminder email, I will let you know!
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has both Blueberry Jam and Pear Preserves on Special this week! Also, Challah is now available in the Market offerings. This bread always looks so ‘picture perfect’ and folks love the texture and taste! Unfortunately since I am gluten free, I have to listen as others RAVE about this great bread!
Because Dabrielle bakes with Organic ingredients, preservatives are never used in any of her products! So, how do you keep them fresh? Take out what you will use Market day and the next day and put the rest in the fridge. Before using what you then take from the fridge, let it come to room temp – and you are good to go! One trick that I use is I make a foil pouch and put a couple of slices of bread in it and pop it in the toaster oven on 250 for about 5 minutes! This warms the bread and it really tastes like it is freshly baked!
A Few Volunteers Still Needed
Please consider helping out Lauren, your Market Coordinator on pickup day! She works very hard to organize, setup and serve your needs! She could use assistance between 2:00pm and 4:00pm when she is setting up and Market and accepting deliveries from Farmers.
If you are interested in helping out at the Market, please contact Market Volunteer Coordinator, Chance Claar-Pressley. You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . We love helpers and Chance loves coordinating this effort for us! Please let her know you intend to help and she will gladly put you on the schedule and notify Maryanne and the Market Coordinators.
…this and that…
Markets orders have always varied slightly from week to week. The last month shows a good week (meeting a minimum of $650) to doubling the minimum the following week, to NOT meeting the minimum. I am at a loss to explain this or plan for the huge fluctuations. Your input is needed and appreciated…

Green Pasture Orders (Fermented Cod Liver Oil, X-Factor Butter Oil, Skate Oil)
Green Pasture
Yesterday at Market we took orders for Green Pasture Products. They offer Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil, X-Factor Butter Oil, Coconut Oil Blend infused with Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil and the X-Factor Butter Oil, Pure Virgin Coconut Oil and Ghee.
You can open the Price List and Order Form by clicking Price List and Order Sheet
If you would like to check out more specifics about the products, please go to
Green Pasture Website
I did my best to make the document easy to understand by Listing the products under categories. The price listed DOES include shipping and you are saving about 10% off the product and at least $10 in shipping if you ordered it yourself. We did not get the minimum order of 12 items to get the prices that are listed on the document. I will leave ordering open for Green Pasture items until Sunday night at 9:00pm and place the order on Monday morning.

Group Buy Cod Liver Oil and some other Great News!
Greetings All:
Really Great News
Although Marie of Bakery on Brooks has been very busy with her volunteer position, she generously found time to bake some items for the Gluten Free Members this week! Yay! Marie’s goodies will be available on the Farmers’ Sale Table at your Market! Get there early for pickup or you will miss out!
This week at Market we will be taking orders for Green Pasture Products. They offer Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil, X-Factor Butter Oil, Coconut Oil Blend infused with Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil and the X-Factor Butter Oil, Pure Virgin Coconut Oil and Ghee.
You can open the Price List and Order Form by clicking Price List and Order Sheet
I did my best to make the document easy to understand by Listing the products under categories. The price listed DOES include shipping and you are saving about 10% off the product and at least $10 in shipping if you ordered it yourself. We must have a minimum order of 12 items to get the prices that are listed on the document. All orders must be pre-paid at Market this week. I will order the product on Friday morning and we will have it at Market pickup next week, October 16th.
For those of you who already use Green Pasture Products, you are aware of the benefits; for those of you who are new to the products, I have listed some known benefits below:
1. Better stamina and improved muscle strength
2. Improves nervous system and brain functioning
3. Reduces stiffness, inflammation and joint pain
4. Reduces eczema
5. Relieves depression and anxiety
6. Improves sleeping habits
7. Improves immune system
8. Improves bone density
9. Thins blood
10. Protects arteries from damage
11. Inhibits blood clots
12. Inhibits cancer
13. Lowers LDL cholesterol and blood pressure
14. Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke
15. Relieves migraine headaches
16. Eases symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
17. Soothes bronchial asthma
18. Reduces heart disease
19. Reduces risk of lupus
20. Combats early kidney disease
Fermented cod liver oil is sourced from organ tissues that contain high nutrient levels. Fermentation tends to transform natural vitamins into metabolites of co-factor enzymes that are easily absorbed by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cod liver oil and it contains more Vitamin A than any other common food.
The best vitamin D comes from the sun. With Winter right around the corner we will no longer be able to take advantage of playing in the dirt, swimming, golfing, riding bikes, playing tennis. Ramp up your immune system for whatever nasty little bugs that naturally come our way in colder weather.
I admit, for you newbies, Cod Liver Oil is NOT my favorite and I literally hold my breath and drink a 1/2 glass of Sam’s sweet, fresh milk to get it down everyday, but for me… it works. I noticed a difference in stamina and energy within about a week of starting on the product. For you folks who just can’t imagine the taste, the non-gel gaps are a definite option!
Green Pasture Website will give you a plethora of information! David Wetzel, the owner of this family run business has some great articles as well as a selection of articles from many other sources.
Thanks for taking time to read this information and we will see you tomorrow at Market!
Joyful thoughts and bountiful blessings,
~Maryanne

"Bits and Bites" October 5, 2014
you will find this easier to read and be able to see pictures if you go to the Market and choose Weblog …it’s easier on the eyes!
Greetings Crossfit / Lawrenceville Market Members:
I hope this finds you all well and enjoying the weekend with family and/or friends!
It was a chilly 31 degrees this morning with beautiful blue skies and gorgeous views. I couldn’t ask for a prettier place to call home!
Lauren Stephens is coordinating the Crossfit O-Zone / Lawrenceville Market. I am sure that most of you have met her by now! She is most friendly and helpful and I appreciate the great job she is doing at Market!
Please put her phone number in your contact list so if you have any issues on Market day you can contact Lauren directly.
Crossfit O-Zone/ The Lawrenceville Market will pickup between 4:30 and 6:30pm on Thursday. If you are unable to pick up during this time frame, please let Lauren know. Since this location has ‘permanent space’, alternate arrangements are possible, but you will need to let her know that is your intention!
Market News
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks will no longer be baking for us. To our Gluten Free Members, including yours truly, this is definitely not-a-good thing! Marie’s bakery items consistently ‘wowed’ us all and we have become spoiled with all the truly excellent Gluten Free items she offered to us. Although it is with a very heavy heart that I say goodbye, I wish her God’s continued blessings in her journey. Marie is very involved in volunteer activities and her family. Perhaps if her situation changes, she will be back. She has touched our lives with her energy, goodness, spirit, integrity and love and I am grateful!
New Farmer
Please join me in welcoming Tammy and Jeff Sosby of Peacefield Farm! Here is what Tammy has to tell us about their family farm:
“Peacefield Farm is a family owned and operated farm. The farm has been in the family since the mid 1800`s. We have strong Christian beliefs. We strive to offer the best healthy,naturally grown produce the way God intended it to be. We are certified naturally grown. We follow the national organic guidelines. We offer hydroponic tomatoes year round,and seasonal produce that we grow outside on raised beds with drip irrigation from our wells,and inside high tunnel houses on raised beds. We make our on compost with all plant materials using no animal manure and we make our own organic fertilizer as a supplement to the compost. Thus providing healthy grown produce leaving a small footprint in the environment. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. May God bless you.”
To start out, Peacefield Farm is offering: Red Potatoes, Green Tomatoes and Red Beefsteak Tomatoes! I will be ordering some of each! Welcome Tammy and Jeff! We will see you soon as Farmer of the Week!
Vicky and Steve of Fry Farm are back this week with some new Winter Veggies for us. They include: Arugula, Mustard Greens, Mixed Sweet Peppers and Popcorn (both on and off the cob)! I have had several folks ask if this is GMO free! And the answer is Yes! Vicky and Steve are Certified Naturally Grown and use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides! This Popcorn is FABULOUS! Buying it on the cob is a good lesson for the children in where popcorn comes from… letting them twist and turn the ears in their little hands to remove the kernels will be a fun activity! (and keep them busy for a bit!)
I urge every Member to read the Grower Guidelines which delineate the requirements for Farmer participation in the Market.
Doug of Doug’s Garden is waiting for Mother Nature to finish with his Winter veggies and he believes he will have items to offer next week!
Ricky Brown of Back River Farm is also waiting for Winter Veggies to harvest. At present, Ricky is offering: Peppers and Eggplant! Keep an eye out for other items in the next week!
Andrew and his crew at The Veggie Patch have a plethora of Winter Seedlings, (oh, how I miss my garden!) Herbs and Veggies. In addition, they also offer some Ready to Eat Products…sauces, soups, pickles..be sure and check them out!

…this and that…
I am slowing unpacking and organizing! What a chore! Sarah came up today and toted boxes up from the basement, so I have LOTS to do this week!
The Black Lab continues to guard the Homestead and is most displeased that the dogs who live nearby are allowed to roam free and he is not! He lets me know that they are ‘in sight’ by his really annoying high-pitched bark/whine/cry! It is most infuriating/bothersome/exasperating! If anyone has any suggestions, believe me I am more than happy to listen!
