‘A Star is Born’
Yes, our own Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm was filmed at his Farm, with his chickens and his youngest son, Jordan, by Piedmont Healthcare explaining why Eggs from Pasture Raised Hens are superior to eggs one can buy at the Supermarket! Great job, Greg! Thank you for producing such great products for our Members!
Also here is a great “Infographic” about egg labeling and what the label really means. (This infographic was created by takepart and shared by Sarah, the Healthy Home Economist. Both of these links would be great to share with co-workers, family, friends (or whomever) that doesn’t quite ‘get’ the importance of Knowing Your Farmer!!
Tidbits
Jay Parsons of Dances with Bees is offering a Introduction to BeeKeeping Class on September 16th at Rancho Alegre Farm in Dacula.

Contact Jay directly if you would like to attend this class! He can be reached at 404-379-7621.
Be sure and check out the Creamed Honey from Dances With Bees that is on Special this week!
Last week, Greg Hutchins of Heritage Farm made the trip to the processing plant in KY and Chicken Pre-Orders will be delivered this week. All Pre-Orders must be picked up this week regardless of whether you order items for current week pickup! Whole Chickens and Parts are still available, but you know Chicken sells out quickly! Greg always has chickens growing, but it takes time and there is usually lag time between processing runs! Stock up now! Also check out Bacon Ends and Pieces on Special this week!
Ahhhh, cooler weather! Hopefully the high 80’s and 90 degree weather is behind us! Our Farmers are busy harvesting the last of their summer crops and caring for the Fall and early Winter Crops! Soon we will be seeing the fruits of those labors! With a little cooler temps, some of the late summer crops may come back – it is up to Mother Nature! Be patient, please! Our Farmers are passionate about bringing us the best!
A note about Eggs from Little Tots… Rusty increased his flock to offer our Members eggs and some of the hens have reached maturity and are now producing eggs; however, please understand that these eggs are smaller than the eggs you are used to purchasing. As the hens continue to mature, the eggs will increase in size but due to the breed of chicken will never be as large as those available from Rocky Acres. Rusty has many hens that are still growing and will be producing within the next couple of months. I suggest you order early if you want eggs from Little Tots. Of course Eggs from both Rocky Acres and Little Tots Estate are from pasture raised hens who scratch and peck, eat bugs and generally do “chicken things”. They are supplemented with Organic, Soy Free feed.
My Daily Bread is offering their awesome Chocolate Zucchini Bread on Special this week! Dabrielle’s recipe results in a deliciously moist, rich dark chocolate sweet bread that is perfect with Tea, Coffee or a big glass of fresh milk! The little ones will not even know there is a healthy veggie hidden in this treat! Both the large loaf and the small loaf are on Special! Order an extra to put in the freezer!
