Group Buy- Wilderness Family Naturals and other news

Hi Everyone,

Group Buy- Wilderness Family Naturals:
This weekend we will be taking pre-orders for Wilderness Family Naturals products! http://www.wildernessfamilynaturals.com/ Our buying club prices are significantly lower than their retail prices and include taxes, shipping and fees.

WFN is out of stock on a few items that we usually order such as the mayonnaise. I contacted them and they are having an emulsification issue and have hired an outside consultant to help them resolve this issue. They cannot give me a date when this product will be available again but they are hoping to have it soon.

Covenant Family Farms:
Covenant Family Farms is back on and will have their beautiful blue/green/brown free range eggs available weekly. They will also list any organic and organically grown fruits and vegetable they have on occasion as it becomes available.

Kombucha Tea (Single Brew Recipe):
For those interested, I put my Single Brew recipe in the “Recipes” section on the market site. I compiled a couple recipes and came up with one that worked for me when I first started making kombucha 5 years ago. It’s a great beginner recipe to get the hang of brewing this wonderful probiotic drink!

Upcoming Spring Break Events
I am coordinating 2 events during Spring Break week. This is a great opportunity for you to meet the farmers and vendors. Look for an Evite to come soon. These are kid friendly events and I hope you and your family can make 1 or both events! I will bring information about our co-op at both events so feel free to invite friends and family.

Great Harvest Bakery Tour and Vendor Tasting- April 8th at 3pm
Ray Boland, owner of Great Harvest Bakery in Duluth will give us a group tour of the bakery demonstrating the flour mill, sprouting grains, how they bake their bread. This is a wonderful educational experience for the kids (and adults) to see how their bread is made. Afterwards, we’ll have a few of our vendors do a tasting of their delicious items and/or a demonstration.

Family Fun Day at the Farm- April 10th at 10am-B&G Farm, Madison GA
Lynda from B&G Farm has offered to sponsor this year’s Family Fun Day! You will be able to see her animals and many acres of green pasture they graze on. Right now she has lots of baby piglets running around! For the kids, she’ll have her jumpy jump set up for them to play. Plan to bring a lunch and enjoy some time meeting her and hanging out on her farm. After lunch we’ll head to Johnston Family Farm in Newborn which is close to Lynda’s farm. Russell will give us a tour of his dairy and farm. This is a great opportunity to see where your food comes from and to meet the farmers that provide it.

Wishing you and your family a very blessed Easter weekend!
