News: Group Buy this Weekend
Suwanee Whole Life Co-op

Our Website: suwanee.locallygrown.net
Pick Up Location: 4942 Austin Park Avenue, Buford GA 30518 on Tuesdays

Group Buy : Wilderness Family Naturals
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Mixed Nuts -Raw from Nuts.com since WFN is out of bulk soaked & dried mixed nuts.
Case Pricing for Organic Raw Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. This delectable combination of raw organic mixed nuts includes organic cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and filberts that are sure to please.
I recommend soaking as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures to make your own crispy nuts.
All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.
THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it can take up to 2 weeks before you can pick up.
Market News
Peacefield Farms had some technical difficulties last weekend but now all their produce and products are listed on the market. Their BEEFSTEAK TOMATOES are amazing!
There are no changes to market due to Thanksgiving holiday. We will have normal pick up during Thanksgiving and Christmas week. Pick up ends at 6:45pm as usual!
Volunteers Needed!
*THANK YOU Stephanie, Chuck, Marianna, and Marie for helping on Tuesday! You guys are a blessing! We couldn’t have a co-op without volunteers and we appreciate you all so much!
If you are interested in volunteering, I have created a volunteer sign up on Signup Genius. I am asking for volunteers to sign up for 1 hour shifts from 2p to 6:45 pm. No packing is involved just need someone to be there to assist other members. You are welcome to bring your kids as long as they are supervised.

Thank you in advance for your support!
My Daily Bread
My Daily Bread will have fresh baked breads and other organic baked goods available this week but will be taking a well deserved vacation the following week.
Feel free to stock up this week so you won’t miss having your My Daily Bread items! All of their items freeze well and will keep in the freezer for 4-6 weeks if double wrapped, and taste fresh.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving is always a special time for us to reflect on what we thankful for. I can wholeheartedly say I am truly thankful for all of you!
Your support, kind words and volunteer hours mean so much to me. Since I’m not always at pick up when you arrive, I just wanted to take the time to wish each of you and your families a very blessed Thanksgiving day and let you know how thankful I am!
