Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:
I hope you all are having a good weekend! Markets this past week, were busy and fun! Be sure and get your orders in before Markets close!
Important Reminders, Other Matters and Pertinent Information
Market will close at 6:00pm Monday for the Hamilton Mill Market!
Market will close at 6:00pm Monday for the Lilburn Market!
The Newsletter is sent out each week to give you information pertinent to the Market. You can skip reading it now and find it under the Blog Tab to read later if you want to order immediately.
Volunteers Needed
My heart is warmed by the response to the request for volunteers and we are slowing getting to the point that folks can work just once a month! We still need a few more folks to make that a reality, so if you are interested, please contact Market Chance Claar-Pressley, who is coordinating the volunteers for me. Thank you Chance! You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com . Chance tells me that we do need volunteers for July 3rd Market. I realize that the next day is a holiday, but if you could spare a couple of hours, it would be greatly appreciated!
“Thank yous” go out to Kathy and Keb Barnes, Susan Coker, Geni and Bruce Wallace and their sond and Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks who all helped out at the Lilburn Market on Thursday.
Sarah Rockey ws under the weather this past Wednesday, but Marie Wheeler jumped right in to help me get all of the items over to the Hamilton Mill Market! What a life-safer she is – always willing to help out and go the extra mile – plus she makes scrumptious Gluten Free Bakery items! Once we arrived at Hamilton Mill, Karen Thain and her two sons helped get the Market setup and ready for folks to pickup their items! I am grateful to you all!
We still need YOU! The goal is to get enough folks on board so that we can rotate volunteer duties. Can you spare a few hours once a month? Without you as Members, the Market would not exist and now the Market needs your help!
Sarah Heath has also joined the Volunteers at the Hamilton Mill Market and will be starting with us soon! Thank you, Ladies!
If you have a couple of hours to spare between 10:00am and Noon on Tuesday, please consider volunteering at the Crossfit O-Zone Lawrenceville Market. This is prep and setup for the Tuesday Market as well as packaging meat orders for all Markets. Please contact Maryanne at 404-432-4337.
and now for the news…
Farmer Updates
Farmer Ricky Brown of Back River Farm, a Certified Naturally Grown Farm is back! This week Ricky is offering Kale, Scarlet Red Salad Turnips, Harkuei Turnips and Arugula and New Potatoes. Ricky has also added 2 sizes of the interesting looking Yellow and Green ‘Zephyr’ Squash. The smaller size veggies was offered last year by Finch Creek Farm and was a HUGE favorite! I asked Ricky if he would provide them this year. These tasty little treats are fabulous raw! Wash, grab your favorite homemade dip and snack away! You will NOT be disappointed with this healthy alternative!
Cedar Seeder has added Micro (Veggie) Wraps to their offerings! These handmade, fresh powerhouse goodies are full of 11 super Mircrogreens deliciously surrounded by either Rice Paper or Nori wraps! Lots of ‘scrumptiousness’ served with a delectable sauce! a definite “must try”! 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! Ready to be snipped and added to smoothies, salads or your favorite juice! The Black Lab is enjoying snippits of his greens everyday! I cannot leave this planter at his leave, because he will eat it all at one! (At least he loves veggies, and Goat Milk and Cow Milk and Kefir … he’s a pretty health conscious guy!
Doug of Doug’s Garden is offering: Whole Garlic, Hakurei Turnips, ‘Kossack’ Kohlrabi (read “huge”) Leaf Lettuce Salad Mix and Carrots. In addition, he has 5 different Produce Boxes to choose from: Basic Seasonal Box, Early Summer Box, Herb Lovers Box, Root Lovers Box and now - drum roll please - <The Tomato Lovers Box This is the Basic Seasonal Box with extra Tomatoes!
Miss Vicky of Fry Farm is taking a brief break this week as her late Spring veggies exit the scene and her Summer Veggies take one more week of Sunshine and Rain to be ready for Harvest next week! Wonder what goodies she will have for us? Check out her offerings NEXT week in the Newsletter and at the Market! Rest and Renew, Vicky! See you next week!
The Veggie Patch is providing a good selection of wonderful fresh early Summer veggie offerings and have fresh Herbs listed as well! 3 types of Basil, Chives, Mint, Oregano,2 kinds of Parsley, Rosemary, Sage, Thyme and Medicinal Herbs Chamomile and Lavender. Veggies include: Arugula, French Green Beans, Bunching Onions, Collard Greens, Cucumbers, several types of Kale, Leeks, Lettuces, Mizuna, Spring Onions, 8 types of spicy peppers, Radishes, Spinach, 3 types of Squash, Swiss Chard, Tatsoi, Tomatoes and Zucchini and a Produce Box.
Be sure and check out the wonderful meat selections available from B&G Farms. From Pork Tenderloin, which is delicious, marinated and cook on the grill to the many varieties of Sausage, Pork Chops and Longaniza (hot dogs), any cut of Beef you want, Lynda has us covered! Try Chicken Wings on the grill!
David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms are at our Markets as well as most of the popular Traditional Farmers’ Markets around the area! Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Delicious! Be sure and remove from grill or skillet at least one level from how you like your meat cooked! In other words, if you like it Medium, remove the meat when it reaching Medium Raw and let is sit covered for 10 minutes before serving! Turns out perfect every time!
Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed. Periodically Cara puts notes on the cartons to let you know what special treats her ‘girls’ have gotten in addition to their regular diet of bugs they find out in the pasture! Cute idea to let the children check out what the chickens who produce the eggs they have on their table are eating!
My Daily Bread Bruce and Dabrielle are in Wisconsin this week celebrating Dabrielle’s Uncle’s 93rd birthday! I trust you stocked up on her items! Dabrielle will return to the Markets next week with all of her offerings!
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has done it again! Hummingbird Bread! With some of the same ingredients as the famous Southern Hummingbird Cake, (pineapple, pecans, banana) this bread is a great Breakfast Bread or wonderful treat in the afternoon! Her Rolls, Paleo Bites and Cookies have all been a big hit on the Markets and all of us Gluten Free Folks appreciate her adventuresome spirit in creating wonderful treats that we can eat! I have to admit that her Chocolate Chip Cookies are truly my downfall! They are truly ‘made in heaven’!
In addition to Chicken Eggs, Cara of Golden Farms has Duck Eggs available! Get your order in early because there is a limited supply!
Jay and Patti of Dances With Bees have Honey offerings as well as some other great products! Use honey in your Lemonade for a great flavor! Great in Tea, also! I ordered a jar of Jay’s Golden Beeswax Food Grade Wood Finish this past week. My cutting boards and wooden utensils were in desperate need of conditioning! Check this product out and notice the picture that Jay posted! This stuff WORKS!
Patti makes some outstanding Natural Body Products from the honey and beeswax. Her Gardener’s Friend Soap works to get those ‘playin-in-the-dirt’ hands clean and keeps them soft. Fantastic product!
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!
Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The Black Lab enjoys some everyday!
… this and that …
Remember my “Bee Invasion” I told you about last week? After the Newsletter went out, I got an Urgent email from Vicky Fry of Fry Farm who informed me that those little midget Carpenter Bees are in fact Bumble Bees that are the best pollinators! She literally saved their little lives as I was plotting their demise. I spoke with Vicky and she suggested that I take a large box, cut a hole in the side of the box, facing away from the area I want to work and after dark, place the box upside down over their nest. This solution seems to be working and we are existing in peace! Vicky is truly a virtual ‘font of knowledge’ and I cannot count the times I have called her with one question about veggies, soil, chickens or gardening and she has patiently given me info and places to look for information! Thank you, Vicky! I appreciate your time, effort and information – and of course your hard work to offer us clean, nutrient-dense food for our tables!
I am headed out to get the yard mowed prior to the rain later this afternoon! The Black Lab just can’t seem to handle using the rider mower; he’s much more comfortable barking at it! (sigh)
I wish you all a happy day and a wonderful week!

Sarah Rockey is a STAR! She is the Volunteer for the Hamilton Mill Market and the one responsible for getting all of the coolers and orders in and out of the cars! She sets up the Market with me and gets folks checked out, answers questions and knows all about the products that are offered by the Farmers and Artisans!

Do you have a Garden this year? What are you growing? Would you like to share pictures and ‘words of wisdom’ with other Gardeners? What items are you canning, freezing, dehydrating to preserve the Harvest to enjoy in the “off season”? Do you have any ‘award winning’ recipes? I would love to include stories, pictures and recipes in the Newsletter! Please send me an email if you are interested in participating! Sharing knowledge, wisdom and recipes help to build community!
After Church, the Black Lab and I will be working in the Garden this afternoon. In addition, I seem to have a nest of what looks like small Carpenter Bees that have nested underground under the ‘portico’ of the Garden Shed. They are not happy when I am in the vicinity and I am not happy that they are there! Any suggestions to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. They are NOT Yellow Jackets or Hornets — they truly look like mini Carpenter Bees!
Last weekend, I was blessed to have the help of Sarah and Tyler Rockey and Austin Smith who came to get some things done that I am unable to do myself! I am most grateful for their help! Yesterday, Sarah and I ‘fenced off’ the area under the stairs and measured for the soon-to-be-built Chicken enclosure. It will be attached to one of the stalls of the barn and they should be happy little hens in their new home!
I wish you all a happy day and a wonderful week!

Kathy Barnes of So Koi came to help with the Crossfit O-Zone Lawrenceville Market Tuesday morning and we got the meat orders packaged in record time! Thanks! What a relief to have help on Tuesday morning! Kathy also volunteered to work at Lilburn Market on Thursday; however, she was a bit under the weather and was not able to make it! Hope you are feeling better, Kathy!
Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks came to drop of her wonderful Gluten Products and stayed to work at the Lilburn Market on Thursday! I was thrilled! She has been busy with family obligations and spending time with the “grands”, and although I am happy for her, I sure have missed her smiling face and energizer-bunny-attitude! Of course she also brought me a new ‘goodie’ to try and that also was greatly appreciated! Look for her new Gluten Free “Hummingbird Bread” to be added to her offerings soon!
Thanks also to Susan Cocker who worked hard this past Thursday helping to set up and working with Marie to check folks out. Geni (Yolanda) Wallace and her fine sons were also a tremendous help setting up the Lilburn Market yesterday and we had it done in about 45 minutes! Bruce Wallace, (the Dad!)came at Market close and got my car loaded! Thank you all! Time passed very quickly and everyone worked efficiently to get items distributed and Market ready to go! A very sincere thank you to all!

Today is Flag Day! Fly our Flag today in honor of our country and the brave men and women that have fought for over 200 hundred years for our freedom. Our National Anthem is The Star Spangled Banner written by Francis Scott Key in 1814 as a poem entitled “Defense of Fort McHenry” The poem was later put to the tune of The Anacreontic Song by John Stafford Smith, modified somewhat and named “The Star Spangled Banner”. It was proclaimed our National Anthem by Congress when Woodrow Wilson was president in 1931.
This morning as I placed the flag in its holder, I had a flashback to my childhood. We flew the flag everyday in front of our home. It was a privilege and a much sought after honor to participate in raising (and lowering) the flag each day with one of the parents and say the “Pledge of Allegiance”. I spent many Summers attending Fort Scott Camp, outside of Cincinnati, Ohio and can remember being the youngest camper in the Color Guard for Flag raising and lowering because I knew how to fold the flag! Please take a moment to listen to the words of the 4th verse of The Star Spangled Banner, reflect on the words and proudly display our Flag!

Bits and Bites

Greetings Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:
Please Note: We have had a sudden influx of New Members on the Website this past month. There are no addresses listed nor are there any phone numbers, which is suspect. If you are receiving this email and did NOT sign up for the Market, please email Maryanne heirloomlivingmarket@gmail.com and put REMOVE in the SUBJECT line. Your email will promptly be removed from the mailing list.
I hope you are all enjoying the weekend! Yesterday was my Birthday and I spent a wonderful day with a friend. We drove up to Franklin, NC, a quaint, beautiful town which is surrounded by mountains. On the way from Dabrielle’s home in Cleveland, GA, we checked out various Flea and Antique shops! My birthday cake was Gluten Free Cream Cheese Brownies and they are divine! Maybe, they will appear in Dabrielle’s offerings soon! It was a relaxing, stress free day! Dabrielle’s Birthday is Wednesday – Happy Birthday!

Volunteers Needed
Thank you to Chance Claar-Pressley, who volunteered to coordinate volunteers for all of the Markets. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Chance at chancita@gmail.com .
Thanks to Rebecca White who generously volunteered Thursday evening for breakdown of Market.
Thanks also to Kathy Barnes and her husband Keb for all of their help with Market this past Thursday at Lilburn! Please know that your time and efforts are appreciated!
We still need YOU! The goal is to get enough folks on board so that we can rotate volunteer duties. Can you spare a few hours once a month? Without you as Members, the Market would not exist and now the Market needs your help!

and now for the news…

Doug of Doug’s Garden 4 types of Veggie Boxes available on the all Markets this week. The Basic Box and the Herb Lovers Box both contain a plethora of Veggies with the Herb Box having an additional bag of FRESH Herbs! (lots of herbs!) The ‘Slaw Box’, with Kohlrabi, Kale and Carrots is a treat.

Doug has also listed Raspberries! Don’t miss out on these plump little red globes that make a great snack! Also use in smoothies, add to cereal, make muffins…use your imagination!

Lizzie’s Pantry is back! She has added a 1.6lb bag of 7 Grain Cereal for those of us who don’t need the larger quantity! Also, check out her Georgia local Olive Oil!
Cedar Seeder! Sunflowers, Broccoli, Wheat Grass, Kale SPROUTS are ready for us to eat! Also called Microgreens or Micros – no matter your preference of names, these are little but mighty powerhouses of nutrient dense food! These are plants and come in pots that fit into the Cedar Planters hand made by George. (You can purchase the planters on the Market also!) Either way – put them in your kitchen window and add to salads, smoothies or juices!
Krista was the Farmer of the Week at all Markets this past week to showcasing their wonderful Microgreens as well as the new “Spring Veggie Rolls”. Tender Microgreens packed in Nori or Rice Paper with a great sauce! Very, very tasty and healthy! She has listed them on the Markets this week!
In an effort to keep the availability of Organic, Free Trade coffee on the Market, I am working with Sue Martinson of All Saints Lutheran Church. Sue is the coordinator for the Organic and Free Trade Coffees and Teas that they are selling. Look for these items to be available next week on all Markets. Lilburn folks see Sue at the Market each Thursday as she helps with Market and offers samples! The sale of the Coffee and Teas is an ongoing fund raiser for All Saints Lutheran Church. What better way to say thank you to them for the use of their wonderful space than to include the products they are offering? I will be working with Sue in the coming week to get the items listed on all Markets! Look for all the details in Newsletter next week when their products will be listed on the Markets!
Be sure and check out the wonderful meat selections available from B&G Farms. Try some Pork Chops on the grill! Yummy!

Dabrielle and Bruce will not have items listed on the Market for the week of June 22nd. They are taking off in their Motor Home to visit family in Wisconsin! Be sure and stock up on your goodies this week and next!
Although you may not see Marie of Bakery on Brooks at Market every week, her Gluten Free and Paleo goodies are offered on the Market! She is a creative Baker (read Mad Scientist in the Kitchen) and has found the secret of Gluten Free goodies. Her Paleo Bites are fabulous – don’t know how she does it – but they are small and mighty bites of heaven! Try any of the varieties. I will stick with the Almond Joy thank you very much! Her newest addition of Yeast Rolls are getting rave reviews and I am grateful that there is a Gluten Free option for Bread that is delicious!
Dances With Bees is on vacation this week and next. Patti and Jay are taking some well deserved time off!
Cedar Rock Dairy
Sam’s Farm is located in Butler, Georgia which is over 2 hours away from our area! Although we try and stay within a 100 mile radius (Local), the quality of the milk from Sam’s tested A2 Jersey herd are an exception! In order for it to work for Sam, we must have a minimum weekly order! Please keep sharing the Market with friends and family so that our pets can continue to enjoy wonderful, fresh milk!
… this and that …
To catch everyone up on Mary’s progress since her accident… At her May check up the doctor determined that Mary was allergic to the stainless steel plate and screws that were placed to stabilize her ankle! Although the surgery to remove the metal was performed on May 28th, guess who came to market this past Thursday? Yes, Mary walked (hobbled) into Market with a smile on her face! She is doing well and knows that the removal of the steel will allow her body to heal completely! Please keep her in your prayers!
I continue to be busy trying to keep up with the ‘little yellow house on the hill’ homestead. The Black Lab continues to ‘help’! He is great at keeping the birds away from the garden; however, for some reason, he has dug up two of my pepper plants! After a serious discussion (and some chicken wire) that problem is now solved!
It is time to say – thank you for taking the time to read this missive…
