Check this out for your Gluten Free friends and family! Marie of Bakery on Brooks will have these beautiful Cookie Gift Boxes available on the Farmer Sale Table for the next 3 weeks. They will NOT be listed on the Market. Check them out at pickup this week. Perfect to take to that Christmas Office gathering, give to a friend whose diet is restricted to Gluten Free selections or buy one for yourself! Marie’s goodies are an excellent choice for anyone! Since Marie is Gluten Free, she has created breads, rolls, cookies and treats that she and her entire family can enjoy without them even realizing the goodies are Gluten Free. She is a Master at Gluten Free baking! I promise you will not be disappointed!
Dabrielle and Bruce are enjoying a brief respite in Hilton Head this week. Next week look for featured Holiday products from My Daily Bread! The little Gingerbread cookies are so cute and delicious and Dabrielle offer Cookie and Bread Gift Platters also!
Mother Nature’s cold snap brought a big change in availability of items from some of our Farmers. Back River Farm, Doug’s Garden, Fry Farm and Grow with the Flow sadly have no items to offer at this time! Hopefully they will return soon.
Have your tried Tammy and Jeff’s Beefsteak Tomatoes? They are grown hydroponically and are delicious! Tomatoes in November? Yep and they are mighty tasty. Tammy just reduced the price on these wonders! Because another Market they participate in dictated prices, she didn’t know she was able to offer at our Market at their chosen pricing! Check them out today! Additional items are growing and will be available very soon!
Andrew and crew have a big variety of fresh veggies for us to choose from! Check out their offerings. You will find everything from Broccoli to fresh greens to peppers and Veggie Boxes!

Extension of Market hours
Market ordering hours extended until Monday morning 9:00am…
In an effort to reach our goal that makes it viable to hold Market, I am leaving the Market open until 9:00am tomorrow morning. If at that time, minimum has not been reached, pickup will be moved to the Crossfit location.
At the close of Market, Monday morning at 9:00am, you will receive an email letting you know the status and the location of pickup for this week.
Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to provide you with what you want from the local Farmers/Growers and Producers; but, please understand that Buying Local means supporting those who are committed to providing ‘Local’!
Thank you for your support!

My Daily Bread will have fresh baked breads and other organic baked goods available this week but will be taking a well deserved vacation the following week.
Feel free to stock up this week so you won’t miss having your My Daily Bread items! All of their items freeze well, taste fresh upon thawing and will keep in the freezer for 4-6 weeks if double wrapped!
Marie of Bakery on Brooks does not have items listed on the Markets this week. She will return next week! Marie has created Parker House Rolls that are gluten free and made with organic ingredients. Be sure and order some next week! I love all of her products, but these rolls are now at the top of my list of favorites!
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has tasty treats that would enhance any Thanksgiving Feast. Cinnamon Rolls or Pumpkin Spice Bread or Muffins paired with a Sausage and Veggie Fritatta with eggs from Golden Farms or Rocky Acres Farm and Sausage from B&G or Heritage Farm with Peppers, Onions, Spinach from The Veggie Patch sounds like a great Breakfast to start the day!
Or start your day with a Smoothie made with tender, nutritious microgreens from George and Krista of Cedar Seeder. They also offer Bakery Bars that are oh-so-good!
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has started on her Christmas baking and will have Sweet Bread Platters available this week – great to have on hand for nibbling later in the day with leftovers or a wonderful Hostess Gift. Her Gingerbread Boys are sure to bring a smile to the children and adults alike, served with a glass of cold fresh milk from Cedar Rock Dairy or Little Tot’s Estate!
For those of us who are Gluten Free, I trust that you got your items last week, since Marie of Bakery on Brooks does not have items listed this week! She will be back with us next week!
Need appetizers? Hummus or Pestos offered by Jennifer of Jennifer’s Pesto would be a good choice or check out the Pepper Cheese Log from My Daily Bread.
Need Veggies? We have Kale, Mustard Greens, Collard Greens or Nappa Cabbage that can be sauteed for a Southern side dish for the big day. I use a mixture of Nappa Cabbage and Kale with little bits of B&G’s Spicy Sausage and add some Onion and Garlic! Good eating! You could order a Produce Box from Doug’s Garden or from The Veggie Patch for an assortment! Sounds wonderful! I have been enjoying the tasty Tomatoes from Peacefield Farm and am getting both Red and Green this week. Great tasting Tomatoes at Thanksgiving? Who knew?
The ‘Star of the Show’ for most folks will be a Turkey! Unfortunately, we did not have access to pre-order free-range, organic birds this year, so I trust you found your own source. I brine my turkey and it is always awesome!
There is a slim possibility that Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm will have few Turkeys that people who had pre-ordered did not claim for one reason or another…. I will not know for sure until Monday evening. Cost per pound is $7.90 but again, I will not know IF there will be any available, the number available or the size until Monday evening after Greg has delivered what was pre-ordered. You can call me at 404-432-4337 if you want to be on the list to get a Turkey if there are any available. If you are on the list, I will call you Monday night to let you know that outcome!
If you haven’t found Turkey or you prefer another meat for your Feast, check out the Beef, Pork or Chicken offered by Lynda Brady of B&G Farms, or Chicken, Beef, Lamb or Pork products offered by Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm or the Water Buffalo offered by Carrell Farms
The Yeast Rolls from My Daily Bread are fabulous! Hmmm, Honey from Dances with Bees b> would taste mighty fine on those Yeast Rolls! My Daily Bread also offers a variety of Jam, Jellies and Preserves that are fabulous.
Oh, and don’t forget the Pumpkin! Dabrielle made some delicious roasted and pureed Organic Pumpkin. Truly, Pumpkin Pie is great; however, Pumpkin Pie made from fresh Pumpkin is awesome! Top that pie with whipped cream made from the thick rich cream on top of the great raw milk from Cedar Rock Dairy! Order an extra 1/2 gallon, skim off the cream and make butter or whipped cream and use the remaining milk/butter milk for baking. Freeze the extra!
A few other items to consider, especially if you are going to be a guest this Thanksgiving. Kathy Barnes of So-Koi creates Retro Aprons in several different patterns, which would make an awesome Hostess Gift. Monique Huenergardt of Mo’s Tats and Stitches handcrafts beautiful Heirloom quality snowflake ornaments, home decorations, ear rings and has them on the Market. Tammy Soseby of Peacefield Farm has hand-crafted some beautiful scarves! Three talented ladies, dedicated to offering us handmade-with-love treasures! Buying from local Artisans, whom you have the opportunity to meet and get to know, I think is special! Buying local also helps grow the economy.
And if the Hostess has a pet – remember to check out Low Low Knows Bones for Organic yummy Pet Treats to appease the hungry beasts! (Plus you will make lots of Brownie Points! Pet owners have a special place in their hearts for their animals and love when others recognize this bond!) The Black Lab gobbles up the Pumpkin flavor!
Sarah, Lauren, Kathy (The Market Coordinators) and I recognize that we are truly blessed to have the wonderful group of Farmers, Producers and Artisans who are passionate about bringing us “the best of the best”! We are grateful for their dedication.
Please know that we are grateful to you, our Members, for your unfailing support of our efforts to make the Market a community resource for nutrient-dense, clean fresh and local food! Your encouragement, suggestions, recommendations to others and your friendship have blessed my life and I am appreciative.
personal reflections
I have had time these last few days to reflect on memories of past Thanksgivings shared with family and friends. Whether I was cooking in my own kitchen, helping in another or a guest in someone’s home, the happiness that I have felt for the love that is shared on this special holiday still fills my heart with joy!
It isn’t about a “perfect meal” – it can be the simplest of fare or a huge feast. It isn’t about pulling out the silver and the best china or the lace tablecloth. It isn’t about show. It is about gratitude! Expressing our heartfelt thanks to another warms their heart and ours.
I give thanks to God for my many blessings and even for the “I’m-not-so-sure-this-is-a-blessing” situations and especially the hardships, losses, issues that I face that are less than pleasant, the “I-don’t-see-this-as-a-blessing” conditions. I am truly grateful for all of the joys and sorrows that became my life. They are part of me and have shaped the person that I am today. I am grateful to Him that I awaken each day to see the beautiful sunrise; grateful at the end of the day as the sky is painted at sunset and grateful for all of the moments in between. He blesses me each and every moment – through His hand and the lives of each person I encounter and I am humbled and grateful to be touched.
Please, take a moment and reflect on the many blessings you have in your life. Live ‘in the moment’ and become ‘aware’! Take the time to say: “Thank you!” I promise, it will bring joy to your heart!
Black Lab Update Finally … after 3 days of laying the underground fence, attaching to the existing ‘real fence’, testing, finding a short, replacing wire, retesting and meeting with success, the Black Lab is securely ‘contained’ in the backyard. After escaping 2 weeks ago and MIA for 6 hours, my angst and worry forced me to spend the considerable time and effort to ensure his safety. I obviously could not rely on his ‘trustworthiness’ (or lack thereof) to NOT dig under and out of the fence! I now have peace of mind when I let him outside! Such a blessing! I just have to figure out how to keep the dogs from the surrounding properties from digging into the yard!
I wish you and yours a truly wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing in the Heirloom Living Market Family!
Now, hop on over to your Market and get that shopping done! Market closes tonight at 6:00pm! We look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Order now since you are just a click away!

Thanksgiving Week
New Meat Farmer
I am very pleased to welcome Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm. Owned and operated by the Hutchins family, Heritage Farm uses organic methods to produce high quality, great tasting, nutritious food for local consumers and restaurants.
The farm is Certified Naturally Grown, with several acres in cultivation of crops, pastures and hardwoods for livestock, and a growing orchard of fruit trees and berries.
While Heritage Farm does offer fruits, vegetables, pastured meats, eggs, and educational opportunities, Greg is offering Members of Heirloom Living Market their pastured/grass-fed meat.
Heritage Farm was one of our original Farmers when the Lilburn Market opened in 2013. Due to the distance for delivery and the small size of the Market at that point, it was not feasible for Greg to continue with us. Now that we have the ‘power of three’ our numbers should be enough to keep this wonderful Farm as our Grower!
Please check out Heritage Farm’s great offerings. They offer many cuts of Beef, varieties of Sausages, Chicken and Lamb. From first hand experience, I can tell you the quality is excellent.
Be sure and check out….
Bakery on Brooks Marie has her items listed on all Markets this week. She will not have items listed next week, nor will she have any offerings on the Farmer Sales Table. I am ordering: Cornbread, for stuffing, Chocolate Chip Cookies for treats, Sandwich Loaf for Turkey sandwiches and Rolls for Thanksgiving Dinner. All of Marie’s products are Gluten Free and can be consumed by folks who have Celiac Disease. She uses Organic products and most importantly her offerings are delicious and made with love and care. Her items freeze well, so getting items this week will put you in great shape for having what you want on hand for Thanksgiving!
Dabrielle of My Daily Bread has Canned Pumpkin made from Organic Pumpkin, roasted and pureed. Perfect for the Pumpkin Pie you will be making for Turkey Day. It is Fall and who doesn’t like a good cup of Tea with Spelt Pumpkin Muffins or Organic Pumpkin Bread? Yum! The mini loaf is on special this week!
Fry Farm does not list any offerings this week as Vicky and Steve’s ‘grands’, their daughter and her husband are here visiting from their Mission in England. They will be back strong next week!
Peacefield Farm has added Radishes, Greens and 2 types of Romaine to their offerings. I sure am liking having Beefsteak Tomatoes that are juicy and delicious even with the colder weather!
The Veggie Patch always has a good variety of veggies and lots of peppers from mild to VERY hot! CHeck out the “Red” carrots!
Grow with the Flow has items listed this week but I noticed they are all Sold Out!
Be sure and get your orders in by 6:00pm!
