Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  Tidbits and Reminder to Order!


Happy Labor Day!

Market Closes at 8:00pm TONIGHT!


Thank you to those who have already placed orders!


Please remember that minimums must be met for each Market to ensure delivery by our Farmers! At the present time we are a little more than 1/2 way to minimum! Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!



Tidbits

Jay Parsons of Dances with Bees is offering a Introduction to BeeKeeping Class on September 16th at Rancho Alegre Farm is Dacula. Be sure and check out the specifics – it is listed on the Market Page!


Chicken is still available for Pre-Order but is going quickly! Be sure and get your order in this week. Pre-Orders will be delivered on September 17th.


With the heat and humidity of August, veggie production slowed quite radically as evidenced by the offerings on the Market. It is so tough being a Veggie Farmer and I am grateful that there are those who take this task willingly! Besides fighting weeds which seem to take on a life of their own in the later part of the summer season, the Farmers are also busy preparing the soil, planning and planting for the Fall and early Winter Crops! Soon we will be seeing the fruits of those labors! With a little cooler temps, some of the late summer crops may come back – it is up to Mother Nature! Be patient, please! Our Farmers are passionate about bringing us the best!


A note about Eggs from Little Tots… Rusty increased his flock to offer our Members eggs and some of the hens have reached maturity and are now producing eggs; however, please understand that these eggs are smaller than the eggs you are used to purchasing. As the hens continue to mature, the eggs will increase in size but due to the breed of chicken will never be as large as those available from Rocky Acres. Rusty has many hens that are still growing and will be producing within the next couple of months. I suggest you order early if you want eggs from Little Tots


Got Milk?

Remember to order Raw Cow Milk from Cedar Rock Dairy and Raw Goat Milk from Little Tots Estate! Fresh, raw milk … for your Pets! All Raw Milk products are labeled “For Pet Consumption Only”, in accordance with the Georgia Department of Agriculture regulations. This is the only way that Raw Milk can legally be sold in the state of Georgia!

Request for Volunteers



Next week, September 17th Market, Sarah and her husband Tyler will be hiking and camping. As most of you are aware, Sarah brings all of the orders from the Lawrenceville Market to the Crossfit PURE Market location. While I am able to setup and work the Market, it is not physically possible for me to pack and unpack the many coolers and boxes to get them to Market. Also, my little Mazda 626 is just not big enough to handle the crates, boxes and coolers. I am asking for 1 or 2 Volunteers to come to the Lawrenceville Market on Thursday, September 17th at 12:30, help receive orders from the Growers, check in orders, organize, pack and load coolers, crates and boxes in your (hopefully large) vehicle, drive to Crossfit PURE, unload and help organize for Market. If that is not a possibility, then Market pickup for September 17th will be at the Lawrenceville location or we will cancel the Market for the week. If you are interested in helping out, please contact me at 404-432-4337. I must know by Thursday, September 10th!

Champaign, OH:  Sorry For The Interruption...


The previous Weblog has a paragraph with lines going through…please disregard the lines and just read the note from Charlene.

This market site sometimes has a mind of it’s own, takes the pasted copy, and does what it feels like, without me knowing…

Read the copy, not the lines, this was no slight or an attempt to cross out the information.

Just a sometimes crazy market site..

Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

Champaign, OH:  So Many Roads


So many roads to ride…
So many roads, so many roads…
(So Many Roads-Grateful Dead)

This song is one of my favorites to have heard Jerry sing, back in the day, in his last days. And, the lyrics lend themselves to a series that will run, here, in conjunction with, A Day In The Life.

Charlene came up with an idea for each vendor to give us all things they are involved in, or where there business takes them, or a schedule of where all you will find them when they are not busy with your orders for virtual market.

We continue with A Day In The Life, and now add the sister companion, So Many Roads.

Enjoy…and if you can, go out and support your favorite local vendors. We are everywhere…

And, now…this note from Joe and Charlene Stapleton…

Throughout the year many of The Virtual Market Venders can be found out and about on any given day at other events in a 3 to 4 County area. We support other conventional Farmers Markets, CSA’s, Festival, special events in and around the County and sometimes we travel to one of our neighboring counties. We carry our store front with us where ever we go. This is our life, this is our living. We are all a big part of the live local, buy Local Movement. The Theme is “We” It takes us all, the Vendors and you our customers. On this note I would like to tell you about 2 events that Swisher Hill Herbs will be attending and supporting in next the 2 weeks.

Conyers Locally Grown:  Available for Friday September 11


I hope this finds you all doing well. Yesterday turned into a very busy day here on the farm. We had a pig ranggeling when every body decided to visit the neighbors and then we put a few to rest in the freezer. It was a fun day. Today on this beautiful Labor Day we are makin bacon, ribs, ham and much more, it’s my first attempt at processing a pork belly into bacon. We have a few left for the adventurous cook. I rubbed it down with salt, pepper, sugar and a bit of red pepper flakes. It has been resting for about 5 days and will smoke for 10 hours today. My mouth is watering a I type.

Anyway, the market is open and ready for orders. Hope you enjoy our efforts.

Thank you,
Brady
