Table Sales – Don’t forget to pay
Please don’t forget to pay or leave me a note on the packing list to add to your account to pay next week for unpaid table sales. The past few weeks I’ve come up a little short but this week I’m short over $40! I pay the vendors for these items every week so if you don’t pay me I am completely out.
If this continues I will have no choice but to discontinue table sales since I cannot afford to continue to come out of pocket. I really don’t want to do this because I really enjoy having the table sales in case I forget to order something too!

If you purchased Fermented Cod Liver Oil (FCLO) and/or seafood, it will be available this Tuesday for pick up. The seafood will be in the middle black freezer.

MARKET NEWS
We Welcome Keena’s Kake Designs to the Market!
Keena’s Kake Designs was born from a love of making delicious, custom baked goods for my family and friends at an affordable price. It also evolved from my desire to provide my family with high quality natural and organic foods; come to find out, it’s not always easy to find sweets that do not contain artificial colors, preservatives and other additives. So, Fudgeez and Blondeez will always be all-natural, non-GMO, and made with organic cacao! We’re a snack company with integrity: if I wouldn’t feed it to my family, I won’t feed it to yours!
Workshops for June
Introduction to Essential Oils Workshop
Looking to dip your toes in the world of essential oils but don’t know where to start? Many essential oils are available with a numerous amount of combinations which can be overwhelming. How do they work? How do you use them? Are they really safe? Learning what combination of oils to use and how to administer them properly can create more questions and answers.
Let us help you with that! At Rancho Alegre Farm, Cheryl and Pilar would like to share with you their knowledge and experience on how they have successfully alleviated common ailments naturally using powerful essential oils. This essential oils workshop will show you the foundations and basics anyone can apply! At the end of the class you will take home a free 5 ml Wild Orange essential oil.

In other news….
We have the opportunity to get fresh frozen Sockeye salmon which is the best of all salmon as a pre-buy in June. This salmon is picked out of the nets of the Alaskan fishing boats before they are put in the holding area below deck and they take these salmon straight to the processor who filet them and flash freeze them! They are shipped to Georgia and all this happens within 2 days! You cannot get fresher than that!
If you are interested in buying salmon which is only available during their season in end of June and month of July. The word is that packages will be about 8 ounces to a pound and sell between $16 to $18 a pound. They will know more as it gets closer. I have a list of those already interested! If you are interested in participating in the pre-buy, please email me at grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com with your name and phone number so we can contact you! This opportunity is through one of our Growers!
As Always….
Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living.
Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!
If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your input!
