Greetings All:
Lauren Stephens, the former Market Coordinator for the Crossfit/Lawrenceville Market has gotten a promotion at her “real” job. Congratulations, Lauren! This great opportunity for Lauren has left the position of Market Coordinator open at Crossfit. Interested in helping out? Hours are 3:00pm to 6:30ish every Thursday or every other Thursday. Please contact me at 404-432-4337 if you would like to volunteer or have questions. I will be coordinating Crossfit for the time being.
Offerings you may want to check out…
Greg of Heritage Farm has Beef Rib Steaks, Minced (ground) Lamb and Leg of Lamb on special this week! Great deals! Be sure and check them out. He also has a Bulk Pack of Organs (Kidney, Heart and Liver) that is wonderful for homemade Pet Food. The Black Lab is enjoying items from this great value pack.
I am still going strong on making soups! Grab some bones while they are available. With all of the wonderful winter veggies available, some bone broth, lentils or beans – yummy soups!
Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great winter veggies! Broccoli, Brussell Sprouts, Huge heads of Savoy Cabbage, Carrots, Kale and Romaine Lettuce are all listed in their offerings this week.
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread is back! Challah, Tortillas and Pumpernickel are available! Sourdough with soup! Yum!
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has wonderful Gluten Free offerings. Be sure and check them out. Please keep Marie, her husband Chuck and family in your prayers. An extended family member has died after an extended illness. Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to them and their loved ones.
Carrell Farms has added Alpaca to their offerings! Be adventurous and try some. To me it is a bit sweeter than Pork and delicious! Of course their wonderful Water Buffalo offerings are also available! Try some Soup Bones for wonderful Bone Broth! Add in the Ox Tail for an especially delicious treat! Roasts, steaks, ground …they have it all!
Don’t forget to check out Shalley’s line of Skin Care products. My new favorite is her Silky Bamboo Lotion! A little goes a long way – and it feels exquisite on your skin!
Jay and Patti Parsons of Dances With Bees are back from vacation — just in time for the yucky weather here! Check out Honey offerings! Since I have been making a lot of soup, I have been using the cutting board a great deal. Jay’s Golden Beeswax Food Grade Wood Finish is awesome! Keeps my cutting board in great shape. Recently while looking for a cast iron pot in the plethora of boxes that must stay packed, I ran across a cutting board that I inherited from my Mother. It looked ROUGH!. I brought it upstairs and treated it twice with Jay’s Magic Potion and now I have another great cutting board! This stuff is amazing
Jeff and Tammy of Peacefield Farm had an issue in their Greenhouse and it may be a little while before they have items available. Please keep them in your prayers.
It is not to late to help out with Tammy Burnells youth organization’s project. For My Daughters’ Sake has asked for our help in sending the young ladies to the Georgia Organics Conference next weekend. Additional information can be found on the Weblog Page on each Market or by going to the link below!

Thanks go out to Kathy Barnes and her crew over at the Lilburn Market! Susan Coker and Sue Martinson, Geni Wallace, Nancy Tuck, Brigitte Rossi you all give your time so Market can continue to serve the community and bring nutrient dense, clean and local food to folks! Please know your help and teamwork is greatly appreciated.
Kathy, as the fearless leader at Lilburn sorts items delivered at Crossfit each week, loads them in her car, unloads them at Lilburn and ensures that everything is in place when Members walk through the door to pickup their order.
I know it is a thankless task! Although I have tried to paint a picture for folks, people do not realize all of the ‘steps’ that make Market happen! Perhaps you can’t unless you participate! But I do — to the Coordinators and Volunteers – I am in your debt!
Thankfully, Miss Sarah has returned from the West Coast and will be back at Hamilton Mill this week. Thanks to Karen Thain and Surata Wood and her daughter for all of the assistance with getting set up last week!
Also thanks go out to Dabrielle and Bruce Wills for the use of their Cargo Van which allowed all of the items for Market to be transported in 1 trip! The use of the van also allowed me to leave the heaviest items, (milk and meat) in coolers in the van for folks to collect on the way out to their cars! Since I cannot lift over 4lbs, all of the help was invaluable! Please know I appreciate you all! Sarah will see you on Thursday!
The weather up here in the mountains is turning nasty; but The Black Lab and I are prepared. I pray that everyone will remain safe and warm down Atlanta way! By Thursday things should be dry but COLD and I will be making the trip down to Lawrenceville!

A Worthy Cause...Please Read!
Dear Members:
Whether it is in a ‘traditional classroom’, home, or out in the field, teaching our youth is truly a ‘calling’. It requires dedication and a passion to instill the love of learning.
In addition to being a wife, grandmother, active Member of her Church, working her Farm, running a successful agricultural based business, volunteer work in the community, Tammy Burnell of Burnell Farms founded For My Daughters’ Sake. This non-profit, faith-based organization concentrates it efforts on educating and engaging girls (from 8 to 21) in educational programs. Teaching our youth self-sufficiency skills enhances their knowledge, ability to accept responsibility, confidence to meet those responsibilities, ability to think ‘outside of the box’ and create a niche to entrepreneurial success. On the path they are learning about nutrient dense foods for healthy nutrition, sustainability, canning, sewing, soap making, etiquette —
and a myriad of other life skills that will serve them well as they transition in the the world of adult-hood. Keeping and growing in faith and spiritual ideals will give them strength and fortitude in their journey.
Truly Living Well, a well-established urban farm and organization out of Atlanta, Georgia has collaborated with Burnell Farms to add to the success of this youth program.
In an effort to further the girls’ understanding of organic farming, Tammy is endeavoring to take them to the Georgia Organics Conference being held later this month. The girls engaged in a canning project to raise money; but have fallen a bit short and need our help! You can do this either by donating at Market pickup or by clicking the link below! A portion of the Market proceeds this week will be donated to My Daughters’ Sake. Will you help also?
I want to help For My Daughters’ Sake
Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you in advance for donating to this worthy endeavor! In a future Newsletter, I will provide feedback from these young ladies about their experience!

'Bits and Bites' February 1, 2015
Bits and Bites
It does not seem possible that today is February 1! Although we have had a few ‘cold snaps’, which unfortunately took out some of our Farmers’ crops, it has been a relatively mild winter. I was a little nervous that winter weather would preclude a trip down to Market on Thursday; however, luckily that has not been the case! (knock on wood!)
One of my most favorite things about Winter is all of the wonderful Soups that are both nourishing and hardy. Growing up in Ohio, Soups were definitely part of our Winter fare. The warmth of the kitchen combined with scrumptious aroma of bread baking and a delectable soup bubbling on the stove-top served not only to feed my body but also nourish my soul. Whether it was a Cauliflower and Potato Soup, Gumbo, Chili, Beef Vegetable Soup with Barley, Split Pea Soup with Ham or Chicken with Rice, I relished those dinners. The aromas of soup simmering still tug at my heart-strings and invite me to remember simpler times. Gertrude, our cook and my Mother used to expound on ‘cooking with love’ – and I truthfully do not believe you can make soup without putting your touch of love in it!
Yesterday I cooked up a batch of Chicken Curry and Rice Soup with Carrots, Onion, Garlic and Celery. The pungent aroma and taste of the Curry was perfect with a fruit salad and Gluten Free Parker House Rolls from Bakery on Brooks. Earlier in the week, I made a Split Pea, Cabbage and Pork Shank Soup. Carrots, onions and garlic were added and after cooking, I used the emulsion blender to get a thicker texture and added bits of the Pork. I will have the recipe at Market this week for those of you who are interested. (But if you plan on making it, you will need Pork Shank, Cabbage, Carrots and Onions from the Market)
The Pork Shank (from Heritage Farm) I put in a brine for about 16 hours before roasting in a slow oven. Fabulous flavor and very tender.
Specials, New Items, Updates
Greg of Heritage Farm has Lamb Chops on Special this week. In addition, he has listed Mild Breakfast Sausage and Hot Breakfast Sausage this week along with Rabbit. Hmmm… I remember eating Rabbit as a child, but have never cooked it. I need to explore this option and will let you know my results! Thanks Greg, for bringing us a variety of good, grass-fed, nutritious meat options. What an opportunity to explore new culinary delights!
Greg has also added a Bulk Pack – Organ Feet and Bones consisting of Soup Bones, Pig Feet, Lamb Bones, Fat Back, Chicken Necks and Backs, Turkey Necks, Ham Hocks, Organ Meat. This is 20#‘s of various items for $30.00!! This is a phenomenal deal and if you make your own Pet Food, it is a fabulous find. Needless to say, I got one Bulk Pack for the Black Lab! The offering is limited in number and in frequency of availability! So, grab it now if you want it! You will not be disappointed!
Elderberry Syrup is listed on all Markets and will be available on the Farmers’ Sale Table at all Markets.
Elderberry’s high anti-oxidant properties and capacity to build the immune system make it a perfect immune booster and can assist in shortening the duration of the flu, colds and sinus infections.
Historically, both elderflowers and elderberries were given to build the immune system and prevent colds and flu.
A recent Norwegian study has shown that elderberry juice (Sambucus nigra) not only stimulates the immune system, but also directly inhibits the influenza virus. The active ingredients in the elderberry were found to halt the spread of the virus by disarming the enzyme responsible for attacking the cell walls.
Elderberry has been proven effective against eight different influenza viruses. The study indicated that it may provide protection against a wide range of flu viruses, solving the problem of the “mutating flu”, because most strains of the virus use the same enzyme mechanism to penetrate cells.
The study, reported in The Journal of International Medical Research, showed that on average, flu patients given the elderberry extract recovered within 3.1 days compared to 7.1 days for those given the placebo. Researchers found that the patients who took the elderberry extract also had higher levels of antibodies against the flu virus. A previous study published by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that nearly 90 per cent of flu patients given elderberry extract were completely free of symptoms within two to three days, as compared to at least six days with a placebo.
Elderberry Syrup is very high in Vitamin A and C and bioflavinoids, and may be taken as a prophylactic against winter colds. The diuretic and anti-inflammatory activity of elderberries helps explain its use in rheumatic and arthritic conditions.
Elderberries have a long-established effect in regulating bowel activity, moderating extremes of diarrhea and constipation.
I am using my Mother’s recipe which contains: Elderberries, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg, Ginger and Honey. All ingredients are Organic. The added Spices all have their own unique medicinal qualities which is the reason for their addition. It is available in the 8oz size as well as the 16oz size.
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has done it again! She created Paleo Treats Cherry Almond Crispies. An explosion of flavor and they have chocolate in them too! Wow! Check them out!
Brandon Wills, Dabrielle and Bruce’s son of My Daily Bread has been keeping us supplied with our Organic Baked Goods these past few weeks! At his Mother’s side at the Bakery Brandon has learned his Mom’s secrets of making wonderful, nutritious Breads and Goodies. I am sure he will be happy to have his parents back home this week – and so will we! With their daughter packed and moved and some Beach time and R & R under their belts, they are ready to head back home — we thank Brandon for his good work and welcome Dabrielle and Bruce home with open arms! Next week, Challah, Rye and Tortillas will return to their offerings and grace our tables!
The freezer at Crossfit/Lawrenceville Market still has several packages of frozen Yellow Squash, which Farmer Ricky Brown of Back River Farm put up after the harvest this summer. Perfect to add to soups or casseroles. Please email me if you would like a package to be included with your order this week. Email order for Yellow Squash
Burnell Farms is going strong bringing us some great winter veggies! Broccoli, Brussell Sprouts, Huge heads of Savoy Cabbage, Carrots, Kale and Romaine Lettuce are all listed in their offerings this week. Tammy just added Young Spinach. I’m in…
Carrell Farms has delicious Water Buffalo Use a combo of Water Buffalo and Beef Bones to make an outstanding Bone Broth!
Be sure and check out Shalley’s all Natural Body Products. I recently purchased Shalley’s Silky Bamboo Lotion a combination of Tallow and Coconut Oil and essential oils as a balm for my raw and chapped hands. Oh, the difference just one application made! This is something that I will not be without.
Markets close at 8:00pm Monday. Be sure and get your order in and thank you for supporting our LOCAL Farmers!
