Tidbits and News

Dabrielle and Bruce of My Daily Bread have no items listed on the Market this week. Bruce is having surgery on Wednesday (I mistakenly reported it was Thursday). Please keep him in your prayers as well as Dabrielle, their son Brandon and the Doctor and staff who will be performing his surgery. We wish you well, Bruce!

Marie of Bakery on Brooks will no longer be baking for the Market. This is most unfortunate for all of us. Please keep her in your prayers for the healing of her ulcers.

The end of Summer is fast approaching and we can see this in the decrease in the availability of Summer Produce! Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm has helped us out by adding some produce that he has available! The Cherokee Purple, German Johnson and Yellow Giants are all Heirloom Varieties and delicious. When Greg was delivering last week and he opened the ‘tomato cooler’, the wonderful aroma took me back to the garden! What a wonderful smell and the Tomatoes are delicious! Be sure and check out all of the Veggies our Local Farmers have listed this week! Lots of Eggplants, Peppers, Cucumbers, Collards, Kale, Okra!

I admit to an addiction to ga sourdough CRACKERS! Tracy has really nailed the crunch, the taste and just the right amount of salt! Although I am Gluten Free, I find that I can eat these little snacks (in moderation) and not have any issues!

Jay Parsons of Dances with Bees is offering a Beekeeping 101 Class! Jay is extremely knowledgeable about Bees and all things related to Bees. This class is an excellent opportunity to explore what Beekeeping is all about and decide if it is something you have an interest in pursuing additional classes.

Shalley and David Carrell of Carrell Farmswill be back next week. They are on vacation – which is a rare treat!

I have spoken with Tammy Burnell of Burnell Farms and they plan to rejoin the Market at the beginning of October. Currently they are involved in Open Air Farmers’ Markets and are working on opening their own small Market near their Farm!

Morris Cleveland of Healing Earth Farm will be back with us as soon as he has items ready to harvest. I will let you know as soon as he returns.

I spoke with Vicky Fry of Fry Farm on Friday. Although Vicky does have other items growing, her listed items only reflect a few. This is because Vicky and Steve do not want to disappoint anyone if items ordered are not ready for harvest on Market Day. I have suggested to Vicky that she let me know on Wednesday what additional items will be harvested prior to Market on Thursday. In my ‘Market Day reminder email’ on Thursday morning, I will let you know what will be available from Fry Farm at Market. This is a heads up, so you can budget for extras!

Please note that Rusty of Little Tots Estate has now listed eggs on the Market! He has Copper Maran Hens which produce dark brown eggs. He also has chickens that produce blue eggs and green eggs as well. His hens live in the pasture and receive Organic Feed as a supplement.

The Black Lab is currently enjoying a vacation in Ohio with my brother, his wife and their Brittney Spaniel, Doyle. It was a difficult and painful decision to make; however, it is temporary and I know how well loved and cared for he will be until I am in a position to bring him home.

I humbly ask for your prayers for me. At present I am faced with challenges that seem to be overwhelming; however, I am confident that with God’s blessings and grace all will be well. Please pray that God will guide me on His path and give me wisdom, discernment, peace of mind and financial stability. Please know that I appreciate your prayers on my behalf.
