News:Dairy Tour & New Coffee


This post expired on July 18, 2023.

Hello Everyone,

Here is this week’s news:


Save the Date: Dairy Tour – August 1st



Come out and meet Scott and Jennifer Glover, owners Mountain Fresh Creamery and Glo-Crest Dairy Farm on Thursday, August 1st!

We will take a tour of the dairy farm where you will see their 40 acres of lush rolling pastures that the cows graze on and watch the cows being milked. This is always fun for the kids to see in action! Then we will head up the road to the creamery to see the bottling operation. I’m hoping they’ll have some fresh ice cream too!

Mountain Fresh Creamery provides the co-op with Low Temp Pasteurized milk, cream and butter.

This is a wonderful opportunity to see where that delicious award winning milk comes from!

This is a private, free tour offered exclusively to our co-op. I will send an Evite with event details and the address to the dairy farm and creamery. The dairy farm and creamery are both located in Clermont, GA about 45-50 minutes north of Suwanee. I hope you and your families can join us!



Group Buy: Green Pasture

I’ve decided to delay our Group Buy for Fermented Cod Liver Oil from Green Pasture for 1 week. I checked their website and they are out of stock on many items we usually order. We will now have the group buy on July 26 – July 28th.

Message From Java Genesis Coffee Roasting

You may notice that JavaGenesis is no longer offering the Sumatra Lintong coffee. What happened to it? Coffee is an agricultural crop and just like the fantastic produce available now, coffee crops have seasons. When the coffee produced and picked for a season is gone, we have to wait until the next harvest season to buy into the new crop. This seasons crop of Sumatra Lintong is ripening on the trees now, but unfortunately has already been purchased by a single buyer. We will no longer be able to carry this coffee.

The good news is that we found a great coffee with a similar flavor profile. The Java Ciwidey from West Java, Indonesia is a dark roast coffee with rich, bold flavor and medium body. We loved this coffee as soon as we tasted it on the cupping table. We think you will love it to!!

If you would like to taste any of our coffees, you can find us on Saturday mornings, 8am-noon, at the Suwanee Farmers Market. I’ve already met a few people who have stopped by and said hello. I usually have *5-6 different coffees brewed *so you will be able to taste several side-by-side to find a favorite. Hope to see you at the market!
