Heirloom Living Market Lilburn: "Bits and Bites" November 1, 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 Lilburn, Crossfit and Hamilton Mill Market Folks:
Oh Wow! It is chilly and windy with a little-more-than-a dusting of the white stuff covering the ground this morning! The late night, misty kind of rain, left the tree limbs wet and the cold winds over night served to freeze the rain on limbs and leaves! Although I was having a bit of non-belief about the swiftness of how time has literally flown by since August, I am now in full acceptance that we are entering into the Winter season!
The Market is now Open for ordering and if you would like to fore-go reading the Newsletter —
If you have your beverage of choice in hand and have a few minutes to catch up with Market news, then read on…
Azure Standard
Order Deadline for November is Tuesday, November 4th at 6:00pm
Please share this information with friends and family to ensure that we will all have this great resource available to us!
Azure Standard offers over 9,000 items of which the majority are Organic (or at the very least non-GMO)! The website can be overwhelming, especially if you are a new customer. My humble suggestion is: use the ‘search’ feature to find items that you regularly purchase from Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Sprouts or wherever and see the savings. Save them to you ‘favorites list’ so they will be easy to find next time. When I first started ordering, that is the method I used the first couple of months. When I had some ‘extra time’ online during the month, I would ‘Shop By Category’ looking at only the ones that held some interest to me. I found that these two methods helped acclimate me to the company, the website and was the best use of my time!
Now, because I have items saved to my ‘favorites list’, shopping is fast and simple! Of course I still ‘explore’ categories or check out items that others have suggested.
Another idea – if you see something that only comes in a ‘bulk’ offering, check with friends or post a notice on the Facebook Page listed below and offer to share with one or more folks! This is a great way to get extra savings and help others at the same time.

These ladies give most of their day on Thursday to ensure that we all can enjoy the fruits of our Local Farmers labors!

Products will be display and showcased at all of the Markets. Sue just got in “Organic Chocolate Chips” and you can check them out on Market Day!

Miss Vicky of Fry Farm is offering: Delicious and adorable ‘Gold Nugget’ Winter Squash, Contneder Green Beans, Collard Greens 2 kinds of Kale and Hakuri Turnips! I really like the Hakuris sauteed in a bit of butter or dehydrated with a bit of sea salt! (wonderful alternative to chips!)

David and Shalley Carrell of Carrell Farms Check out their offerings from their Bulk Ground Buff to Steaks and Roasts! Try a Brisket smoked! Delicious! Shalley makes a wonderful line of Natural Skin Care Products using the tallow from the Water Buffalo. Her Face Creams are luscious! A couple of weeks ago I tried the Tallow Foot Butter which has Peppermint Essential Oil in it. Oh, Wow! Feels great and my feet and looking and feeling better!
Both Golden Farms and Rocky Acres offer fresh eggs from pastured chickens fed organic, soy and GMO free feed.
My Daily Bread From Challah to Sourdough Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread to Cookies, Dabrielle’s Organic, Fresh Baked Goods are sure to please.
Dabrielle has created a wonderful Gluten Free Greek Pasta Salad that is a real taste treat served cold or warm!
Please remember that in order for My Daily Bread to deliver from their wonderful Bakery and Farm located in Cleveland, GA, we must meet a minimum, so be sure and get your items ordered today!

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! Located in Butler, Georgia, Sam’s cows enjoy grazing on 1200 acres of this Certified Organic Farm and we are fortunate that he is willing to transport this fresh, creamy milk to us. Working together, we need to ensure that we meet a minimum order for each Market so it remains economically viable for deliveries to continue! Share the goodness of Cedar Rock Dairy milk with friends and family!
Remember, you need 3 sets of jars to keep things flowing smoothly. If you order an extra one week, you likely will be missing one the following week. The Market can no longer absorb the cost if you receive your milk in plastic and you will be charged the difference. Your jars need to be ‘sparkling clean’ and completely dry (jar and BOTH lids)!
A1 vs A2 Milk
Rusty Repp of Little Tots Estate offers the sweetest goat milk I have had since I was a child, growing up in Ohio! (Did you know that Rusty is from Ohio? True!) The milk comes from Nigerian Dwarf Goats who are known to have the highest Butterfat of any milking goats! The milk from Little Tots also makes wonderful cheese! It is great for pets with stomach issues, also! To keep The Black Lab, healthy, he enjoys some everyday!
Kathy Barnes of So-Koi not only helps out at the Markets, she is also the wonderful lady that makes the great lanyards, aprons, pillowcases and tiny purse bags (for carrying your own sweeteners, salts, etc.) Check out her offerings that are all hand made with love!
Kathy is also coordinating the Group Buys for Real Salt and Einkorn Wheat. Sign up sheets will be on the Check out table at each Market.
… this and that …
I continually thank God for the many blessings He has bestowed on me in my life which definitely includes the Market and all of the wonderful folks I have come to know. I am here to serve you, the Members and the Farmers.
The Black Lab is snuggled at my feet in his warm bed here in the office. To my great surprise he significantly cut short his usual 2 hour foray in the yard this morning! Could it be that his old bones are feeling this cold weather? I better make sure he gets enough Bone Broth to help keep his joints supple!
The colder weather inspired some serious kitchen time yesterday that will carry on through the weekend! Beef and Lamb and Water Buffalo Bones were roasted yesterday and put on for Bone Broth. Part of the broth will be made into a yummy Veggie Soup with Green Beans, Carrots, Onions, Green Peppers, Tomatoes, Corn and whatever other goodies I find in the freezer from the Harvest this past Summer! I defrosted a Eye of Round Roast yesterday and put a rub on it this morning, so it will go in the oven later today. I am thinking of serving it with Sweet Potatoes, Spinach and Tomato Salad with goat cheese, Quinoa and some frozen Peaches for dessert!
A new batch of Tea for Kombucha is on the stove and I have Beets to start some Beet Kvass and Nappa Cabbage to start some Sauerkraut. What goodies are you making this weekend?
I wish you all a happy weekend and a wonderful week! Don’t forget to Vote on Tuesday and while you are at it Fly the Flag!

Good Evening Locavores
We hope you are all having a nice evening with more treats than tricks.
Now you can treat yourself to some healthy, locally grown foods to recover from all those halloween sweets.
This cold weather begs for a hearty stew. Amy and I especially like a stew pot on the woodstove for a long, slow, simmer. Now to choose between grass fed beef or free range chicken to add to the pot with fresh herbs and vegetables.
Stay warm and have a great weekend.
Carolina Foothills, SC: MARKET IS OPEN!!!!!!
Hello all,
I hope you all have had a good week so far. I still can’t believe there is snow expected this weekend. Last I heard for the mountains it said 3-8 inches…… 8 inches!
This is a perfect time to order some hot chocolate and seasonal flavored coffee.
Don’t know about you but I love this time of year where it is cool out and I can sit and relax with a big steaming cup of tea and enjoy the quiet coolness in the morning.
I’m an Erie PA girl….. It’s what we do.
Anyway, happy shopping.
Susan.

Enormous hugs to everyone who made Closing Days at both the Veggie Truck Farmers Market and the Evans Towne Farmers Market such lovely occasions.
