New Vendor: FarmHouse Poundcakes
If gives me great pleasure to welcome Ellen Dawe of FarmHouse PoundCakes to our family of producers and growers! Many of you had the opportunity to meet her on Tuesday during pickup and try out some samples of poundcakes, gluten free poundcake, and granola. I’ve heard lots of great feedback!
Starting this weekend their PoundCakes, Gluten Free PoundCakes, Granola, and PanCake Mixes will be listed on the market!
Info about FarmHouse Pancakes:
FarmHouse PoundCakes are made with the finest ingredients, sourcing local ingredients whenever possible. From King Arthur Flour, pure cane sugar, real butter, sour cream and Nielsen Massey Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla to the farm fresh eggs. Simple ingredients, mostly organic and always homemade. Chances are, the eggs in your cake were laid the day it was baked!
Our hens are Heritage Breeds (not genetically modified) and are Animal Welfare Approved, raised and fed the way Mother Nature intended. Happy healthy hens make healthy and delicious eggs!
Our Gluten Free cakes are made with an excellent combination of ancient grains that give a wonderful texture as well as being a healthier gluten free grain (no rice flour used).
New Vendor: Sentient Collective
Introducing Sentient Collective! Sentient Collective’s goal is to connect people with fresh, local, sustainability grown food. Knate and Sam are on a mission to steward as much green-space as possible for the production of clean local food!
From the Spring of 2015 Sentient Collective has been stewarding the land many of you know as BeeBerry Farms. Some of you lucky few may have had the opportunity to come out to the farm and meet Knate and Sam! Sentient collective is now managing all commercial and agricultural operations on BeeBerry Farms! Many of the items that were currently listed under BeeBerry Farms have been switched over to Sentient Collective. We just wanted you to know of the new name change as to not cause confusion. Kevin from BeeBerry Farms will still be part of the co-op but will be launching other products in the near future.

My Daily Bread is on the Market this week!
My Daily Bread will be listing their items every other week. Feel free to double up on items that you would purchase weekly. Breads, tortillas, muffins, and other items freeze well. Stock up!
REMINDER:Pick Up ends at 6:30 on Tuesdays (repeat)
Just a reminder pick up ends on Tuesday at 6:30pm sharp! I have to have the warehouse locked up and ready to take my daughter to practice so please show up a little before 6:30 at the latest. Thank you all for your support!
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.
