Reminder to Order! Please READ NOTES!


The Market closes at 8:00pm!


Pickup Hours extended!
Thursday 3:30pm – 6:30pm



I cannot stress enough the need for us to meet minimum ordering amounts for delivery to be feasible for our Farmers as well as to keep the Market open! As of this writing we are 1/2 way to minimum. If you haven’t ordered, please click the link below and place your order now! We appreciate your support of our LOCAL Farmers and of the Market!


Take me to the Lilburn Market.


…a few notes…

Ancient Awakenings has fermented offerings this week. Next availability will be December 1st!


My Daily Bread has their yummy offerings on the Market this week. Dabrielle has set aside time and resources to bake for our Market on a weekly basis. If we are not able to make a minimum amount, it is not financially sustainable for My Daily Bread and we will lose our place in getting our orders filled. Check out their Organic Bakery items and get your orders placed before Market close!


Doug’s Garden has listed Sweet Potato Leaves, Assorted Sweet Potatoes, Butternut Squash and his wonderful Herb Lovers Box!


Fry Farm has items listed on the Market this week.

Broccoli
Butternut Squash
North Georgia Candy Roaster Squash
Wild Garden Kale Mix
Lettuce ‘Wild Summer Mix’
French Breakfast Radishes
Hakurei Turnips (with or without greens)
Hinona Kabu Turnips



Pre-Orders for Holiday Meats! Hams, Turkeys, Turkey Breasts are all available from the Hutchins Family of Heritage Farm! These options will NOT be available for long and are only available as Pre-Orders! Don’t miss this great opportunity!

Greg is using a new meat processor! Don’t miss the opportunity to check out all of the new Sausages:


Bratwurst (on Sale this week!)
Bratwurst Jalepeno and Cheese links
Chirizo
Irish Bangers
German style Frankfurter
Sweet Italian Sausage
Cajun Sausage
Polish Sausage


Bacon is on sale!. This Bacon is NOT as thick as we have been getting! I prefer a medium to thin sliced Bacon and this one works for me!


Heritage Farm also has some Produce listed:

Arugula
Watermelon Radishes
Okra (sold out)
Apples (these are wonderful!!)


Eggs

As of this writing all Eggs are Sold Out! I have contacted our Farmers and have asked that extra be sent if they are available. This is ONE example of the result of inconsistent ordering! The amount of Eggs that we were ordering dropped dramatically. Chickens were still laying Eggs – Farmers need to sell those Eggs (or Milk or Meat or Veggies or Baked Goods) – if we cannot support them, someone else will! When I send the reminder email on Thursday, I will let each Market know how many Eggs will be available on Table Sales! They will be sold on a First Come, First Served basis only!


Cow Milk and Goat Milk

For those of you who order Raw Cow MILK, (for your Pets!) Sam makes a 375 mile round trip to ensure that we have fresh milk. Our milk orders are down drastically from last year and this is becoming a burden to Sam. Financially it is not sustainable. In lieu losing this wonderful product and resource permanently, we are discussing going to an every other week delivery. Cows do not stop giving milk because our orders are down – consistency in ordering is important!


Goat Milk will NOT be available until December! Some folks who ordered Goat Milk last week did not get their order. Usually Rusty of Little Tots Estate systematically dries out the Does before they ‘kid’ (give birth) in both the Fall and Spring. The Mamas and Mother Nature did not afford him that control this time around. Whether this is due to the dry weather we have had or other factors, Rusty cannot say – but the result is — no Goat Milk until after the Does have their babies! I will keep you informed!
