I did my best to make the document easy to understand by Listing the products under categories. The price listed DOES include shipping and you are saving about 10% off the product and at least $10 in shipping if you ordered it yourself. We did not get the minimum order of 12 items to get the prices that are listed on the document. I will leave ordering open for Green Pasture items until Sunday night at 9:00pm and place the order on Monday morning.

Really Great News

This week at Market we will be taking orders for Green Pasture Products. They offer Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil, X-Factor Butter Oil, Coconut Oil Blend infused with Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil and the X-Factor Butter Oil, Pure Virgin Coconut Oil and Ghee.
You can open the Price List and Order Form by clicking Price List and Order Sheet
I did my best to make the document easy to understand by Listing the products under categories. The price listed DOES include shipping and you are saving about 10% off the product and at least $10 in shipping if you ordered it yourself. We must have a minimum order of 12 items to get the prices that are listed on the document. All orders must be pre-paid at Market this week. I will order the product on Friday morning and we will have it at Market pickup next week, October 16th.
For those of you who already use Green Pasture Products, you are aware of the benefits; for those of you who are new to the products, I have listed some known benefits below:
1. Better stamina and improved muscle strength
2. Improves nervous system and brain functioning
3. Reduces stiffness, inflammation and joint pain
4. Reduces eczema
5. Relieves depression and anxiety
6. Improves sleeping habits

8. Improves bone density
9. Thins blood
10. Protects arteries from damage
11. Inhibits blood clots
12. Inhibits cancer
13. Lowers LDL cholesterol and blood pressure
14. Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke
15. Relieves migraine headaches
16. Eases symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
17. Soothes bronchial asthma

19. Reduces risk of lupus
20. Combats early kidney disease
Fermented cod liver oil is sourced from organ tissues that contain high nutrient levels. Fermentation tends to transform natural vitamins into metabolites of co-factor enzymes that are easily absorbed by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cod liver oil and it contains more Vitamin A than any other common food.
The best vitamin D comes from the sun. With Winter right around the corner we will no longer be able to take advantage of playing in the dirt, swimming, golfing, riding bikes, playing tennis. Ramp up your immune system for whatever nasty little bugs that naturally come our way in colder weather.
I admit, for you newbies, Cod Liver Oil is NOT my favorite and I literally hold my breath and drink a 1/2 glass of Sam’s sweet, fresh milk to get it down everyday, but for me… it works. I noticed a difference in stamina and energy within about a week of starting on the product. For you folks who just can’t imagine the taste, the non-gel gaps are a definite option!
Green Pasture Website will give you a plethora of information! David Wetzel, the owner of this family run business has some great articles as well as a selection of articles from many other sources.
Thanks for taking time to read this information and we will see you tomorrow at Market!
Joyful thoughts and bountiful blessings,
~Maryanne

Greetings Lilburn Market Members:

It was a chilly 31 degrees this morning with beautiful blue skies and gorgeous views. I couldn’t ask for a prettier place to call home!
Kathy Barnes is coordinating the Lilburn Market and is also the awesome artisan who makes the lanyards, aprons, pouches and pillowcases. Kathy’s organization and attention to detail are a definite plus for me and for the Market! Kathy is also coordinating some of the Group Buys that are happening!

If you are unable to pick up during this time frame, please let Kathy know with a Phone call. Please NO texts or emails – it is too crazy at Market to keep track of all three!

Market News
It is with great sadness that I tell you that Marie Wheeler of Bakery on Brooks will no longer be baking for us. To our Gluten Free Members, including yours truly, this is definitely not-a-good thing! Marie’s bakery items consistently ‘wowed’ us all and we have become spoiled with all the truly excellent Gluten Free items she offered to us. Although it is with a very heavy heart that I say goodbye, I wish her God’s continued blessings in her journey. Marie is very involved in volunteer activities and her family. Perhaps if her situation changes, she will be back. She has touched our lives with her energy, goodness, spirit, integrity and love and I am grateful!
New Farmer
Please join me in welcoming Tammy and Jeff Sosby of Peacefield Farm! Here is what Tammy has to tell us about their family farm:
“Peacefield Farm is a family owned and operated farm. The farm has been in the family since the mid 1800`s. We have strong Christian beliefs. We strive to offer the best healthy,naturally grown produce the way God intended it to be. We are certified naturally grown. We follow the national organic guidelines. We offer hydroponic tomatoes year round,and seasonal produce that we grow outside on raised beds with drip irrigation from our wells,and inside high tunnel houses on raised beds. We make our on compost with all plant materials using no animal manure and we make our own organic fertilizer as a supplement to the compost. Thus providing healthy grown produce leaving a small footprint in the environment. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good. May God bless you.”
To start out, Peacefield Farm is offering: Red Potatoes, Green Tomatoes and Red Beefsteak Tomatoes! I will be ordering some of each! Welcome Tammy and Jeff! We will see you soon as Farmer of the Week!
Vicky and Steve of Fry Farm are back this week with some new Winter Veggies for us. They include: Arugula, Mustard Greens, Mixed Sweet Peppers and Popcorn (both on and off the cob)! I have had several folks ask if this is GMO free! And the answer is Yes! Vicky and Steve are Certified Naturally Grown and use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides! This Popcorn is FABULOUS! Buying it on the cob is a good lesson for the children in where popcorn comes from… letting them twist and turn the ears in their little hands to remove the kernels will be a fun activity! (and keep them busy for a bit!)
I urge every Member to read the Grower Guidelines which delineate the requirements for Farmer participation in the Market.
Doug of Doug’s Garden is waiting for Mother Nature to finish with his Winter veggies and he believes he will have items to offer next week!
Ricky Brown of Back River Farm is also waiting for Winter Veggies to harvest. At present, Ricky is offering: Peppers and Eggplant! Keep an eye out for other items in the next week!
Andrew and his crew at The Veggie Patch have a plethora of Winter Seedlings, (oh, how I miss my garden!) Herbs and Veggies. In addition, they also offer some Ready to Eat Products…sauces, soups, pickles..be sure and check them out!

A Few Volunteers Still Needed
Please consider helping out Lauren, your Market Coordinator on pickup day! She works very hard to organize, setup and serve your needs!
If you are interested in helping out at the Market, please contact Market Volunteer Coordinator, Chance Claar-Pressley. Thank you Chance! You can email Chance at chancita@gmail.com .
Thanks to Susan Coker, Sue Martinson, The Bruce Wallace Family, Nancy Tuck and of course, Kathy and KEB Barnes!
…this and that…
I am slowing unpacking and organizing! What a chore! Sarah came up today and toted boxes up from the basement, so I have LOTS to do this week!
The Black Lab continues to guard the Homestead and is most displeased that the dogs who live nearby are allowed to roam free and he is not! He lets me know that they are ‘in sight’ by his really annoying high-pitched bark/whine/cry! It is most infuriating/bothersome/exasperating! If anyone has any suggestions, believe me I am more than happy to listen!

Market News and Reminder to Order
Greetings All:
I hope that you all had a good weekend.
Market closes at 6:00pm today. Please get your orders in before the deadline.
Perhaps we will make items available on an every-other-week schedule if orders continue to fall below minimum. 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’!
Marie of Bakery on Brooks has put her items in the “vacation mode” this week. Please keep Marie in your prayers as she is also praying for God’s direction in whether or not to continue with the Market. Baking is a time consuming and laborious task. In addition to the wonderful Gluten Free items Marie bakes for us, she is continually ‘experimenting’ and creating new recipes for us to enjoy Gluten Free items that have the same type of ‘deliciousness’ that we enjoyed in eating Wheat based goodies! From her Cornbread, Cookies, Sweet Breads and Sandwich Breads, she has more than ‘mastered’ the art of truly delicious Gluten Free baking! I am grateful that she has been with the Markets and pray that God, in His infinite wisdom will show her the direction He wishes for her to travel. Please keep her in your prayers!
With the end of Summer, we are now getting into the Fall Veggies; however, just as with every change of season, the crops are slow to come in at the beginning of each season! Although we do have a good selection, the variety may be a little slim for the next few weeks! Keep checking here and on the website for new offerings.
