Group Buy for Grass Fed Butter Delayed

I just spoke with Suzy from Mountain Valley Farm and she has to delay our group buy for grass fed butter at least a week. I’ll keep you all updated. I’m anxious to get more of that yummy butter too!

Medicinal Herb Sale- All Herbs $10

I am sad to let you all know that Far East Herb Company has decided to close their business. They are offering all their medicinal herbs way below wholesale cost at $10 each. They want to thank those members that have supported them and that have seen the benefits from their products. They will be missed at our co-op market.

New Item: Espresso Blend from JavaGenesis

JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting has added their Espresso Blend to the market!

This blend of Indonesian, South American and African coffees brews a smooth, rich espresso with good body, a sweet finish and beautiful crema. It isn’t just for espresso machines! This blend is also great brewed in a French Press or a drip coffee maker.

Have you seen a coffee on their website at http://javagenesiscoffeeroasting.com/ that you’d like to see listed in the market? Send Juanice an email and she can add it to the market…whole bean, ground or 5# bulk bags.

Other NEW Items on the market:

Pancake Mixes- All Natural, NON-GMO Three varieties available – 100% Whole Wheat with Flax, 7-Grain with Flax, and Buttermilk! These mixes can also be used to make deliciously nutritious waffles.

Thick-Cut Rolled Oat cereal is when ‘old-fashioned’ is so perfect for today’s busy lifestyle. It’s all-whole grains, lots of protein and fiber – and it’s ready in just 5 minutes! Available in 1.6 LBS bags for just $5.00

From Sweet Pea Garden:
Baby Carrots (little) – Red Atomic
Lettuce – Mâche
Mushroom – Shitake Inoculated Log
Tomato Cage
Perennial Bulbs – Crocosmia (Bulbs)

We’re MOVING Soon!

Soon we’ll be moving 5 miles north of our current pick up location. Alan and Kristie O’Rouke from KCO Audio_ www.kcoav.com have graciously allowed us to use space in their warehouse for co-op pick up!

Our first pick up at the new location will be Tuesday, May 27th. The address is 4942 Austin Park Avenue, Buford 30518.

*This will be the last week we will have pick up at our current location in Suwanee. *

We are in need of a couple of volunteers for the move. We need a couple of strong backs and pick up trucks to help move the refrigerators out of my garage. If you can help please let me know! My husband thanks you in advance :-)

We also still need a couple refrigerators, so if you have one the co-op can use please contact me.

Thank you all for your words of support and encouragement as we make this endeavor!
