Alpaca Basil Sundried Tomato Sausage from Carrell Farms- Now you can’t find these just anywhere!

Alpaca is a very mild tasting meat that works perfectly with the vibrant sun dried tomato pesto.
Market News
Vacation Hold – Produce Boxes
Just a reminder if you are going to be away on vacation please make sure you put a “vacation hold” on your Nature’s Garden Express produce box if you are scheduled to receive one. You can simply do this online or give NGE a call and they can set it up for you. If you get an email from them on Friday with your box menu that means your box is NOT on hold and will be delivered Tuesday. As always you can delete your box order before their Monday morning deadline.
Grass Fed Ground Buffalo and Pastured Chicken Breasts
Carrell Farms and B&G Farms will list as soon as these items are back in stock! It will either be in time for this market or next week. Thanks for your patience! Both these items are big sellers at our market and they run out quickly!
My Daily Bread (repeat)
Due to some health issues they will probably be on the market in 2 weeks. I will send out a reminder. Please keep Dabrielle in your prayers!
Mountain Fresh Creamery (repeat)
We will no longer have Mountain Fresh Creamery on the market. The supplemental feed they give their cows contains GMOs. I am currently looking for a new dairy to provide us low temp pasteurized milk. I will keep you all updated. In the meantime, please consider Cedar Rock Dairy and Lil Tots Estate.
