Market Closes at 8:00pm TONIGHT!
Thank you to those who have already placed orders!
Orders have been low for Cedar Rock Dairy over the last month. Consistency is key. The cows don’t stop producing milk just because we forgot to order! Sam Jones and his helpers work very hard and travel several hours in order for us to enjoy the healthy and wonderful milk produced by his tested A2 cows. These girls enjoy grazing on 1200 of organic pastures and producing milk!
Unfortunately, if our orders don’t increase we stand to lose this great Farmer and the healthy goodness he provides. The quality and taste of the milk produced by Sam’s cows is undeniable!
It takes a lot of work to provide the quality of the products found on our market. The growers and artisans offer us the best products to support the healthy choices we are making. Please consider showing your support for these Farmers and Artisans by ordering their products. Your food dollars matter greatly to these dedicated folks.
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’!
Offerings you

Take 1 (or 2) our of freezer, let rise on pan and pop in the Toaster Oven for 15 min! Wow! Almond Shortbread Sandies are also on Special this week! These melt-in-your-mouth-tasty-morsels are sure to please! (I am addicted!) Please note: Marie will NOT be at Market next week! Be sure and stock up this week and freeze!
Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm has outstanding grass-fed Meats! On Special this week: 1/2 Beef and 1/4 Beef Shares! Great opportunity to stock your freezer! Be sure and check it out. Smoked Turkey: Wings, Thighs and Legs are also on Special this week! Ok, I am in to try the Turkey Legs! I can pretend that I am at the Medieval Festival! Greg says the Smoked Turkey is wonderful! Becuase I totally trust his judgment, I am giving them a try! What about you? I am also ordering more Turkey Backs! I have purchased 2 packs and made incredible Bone Broth with both! An added bonus…there is lots of meat on these Turkey Backs and I made some fabulous Turkey Salad! Don’t miss these! They won’t be available again for quite a while!

Kathy Barnes of So-Koi, our resident Seamtress, Lilburn Market Coordinator and provider of some pantry items has added “Kool-Aids” to her offerings! These are neck scarves that you soak in cool water and place around your neck – there are special little beady-thingies that plump up and help keep you cool! Fabulous! And they work — just ask Sarah or Maryanne who were lucky enough to get the first ones! (We are the Guinea Pigs!)
