New Grower: Peacefield Farm
I am very excited to welcome Jeff and Tammy Sosby of Peacefield Farm to our family of growers and producers!
They are a family owned Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) Farm located in Carnesville, GA.
They strive to offer the best healthy,naturally grown produce the way God intended it to be. They are CNG but follow the national organic guidelines.
They offer hydroponic tomatoes year round,and seasonal produce that we grow outside on raised beds with drip irrigation from their wells,and inside high tunnel houses on raised beds.
They make their own compost with all plant materials using no animal manure and make our own organic fertilizer as a supplement to the compost. Thus providing healthy grown produce leaving a small footprint in the environment. Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the Lord is good!
Look for their locally grown produce on the market starting this weekend!

Personal Training Co-op Discount from Body Construction
My name is Kelly Bryant and I have been a member of the Suwanee Whole Life Co-op for a couple of years. The co-op has provided our family convenient access to healthy and local foods that we love! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a personal trainer and I enjoy helping others to achieve their nutritional and health goals through functional nutrition and working out.
My husband and I own personal training studios in Duluth and Buckhead, where we have been in business for 18 years. The type of strength training that we specialize in is called “Superslow” (or slow movement high intensity) training. This type of training is different than the common “faster” training styles that often create lifetime muscle and joint issues. Our method of training is easy on your joints, effectively increases strength, while reducing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, and improving overall health.
This training is also perfect for time-crunched individuals because you get superior results in as little as 20-30 minutes a week – No more running to the gym 4-5 times a week and spending an hour each time. Our private studios have state-of-the-art equipment which can be adjusted to fit all different sizes of people.
We also have no membership fees and you only pay month-to-month. Please contact me to schedule an appointment for a FREE training session to learn more and experience the workout.
I would enjoy the opportunity to meet you! PLUS, just for Suwanee Whole Life Co-op members only, I am offering a second FREE session when you sign up for at least 4 sessions of training. Kelly Bryant 706-207-6922; kbryantrd@gmail.com.
