Lizzie’s Pantry Closeout deals

Lizzie’s Pantry has a few items remaining that have been reduced to sell final inventory.
Reduced this time -

  • Gluten Free Flour on for $12.00 which is below cost.
  • 4 pales of the 7-Grain Cereal left (8 pounds) $20.00
  • Einkorn Wheat, $25.00
  • Quinoa, $5.00
  • 25lb Brown Rice – $25.00
  • The Gamma lids are a bargain for $6.00!

Also, I have great news – Liz will continue to provide Spices (in bags instead of glass jar- $1 off) to the market on a weekly basis! In addition, we will have a quarterly group buy with Liz for Georgia Olive Oil! More details to come as we get closer to buy date.

Salmon, Water Buffalo and Pastured Meats fully stocked!

It’s been a busy week for our farmers and fisherman!

Doug has Wild Caught Alaskan Salmon & Halibut back online! We are fully stocked with Halibut steaks, Salmon Filets, portions, burger, and smoked salmon!

Carrell Farms has ground water buffalo and sausages back on the market!

B&G has grass fed beef, pastured pork and chicken all stocked up too! Please note that the LABEL on B&G’s meat will have the processor label on it instead of the farm’s. Lynda has been trying to get her new label approved by the state of GA for 3 weeks now. They rejected it this time because the picture of GA state line was not quite straight. In order for her to have meat listed this week she asked her meat packer to put their label on her product. This is completely legal since they package the meats for her. She wants to make sure you all know that it is HER meat though not Williamsburg Packing.

Many of you have told me that you can’t volunteer due to your work/family schedule and I completely understand. You’ve also asked what else can I do help out the co-op? Here’s one way that will really help us out – if you are on Facebook or other social media please consider posting a pic of your co-op goodies! I have a very limited marketing budget and really depend on word of mouth advertising. Please feel free to spread the word about our wonderful market!

Thank you in advance for your support!
