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!

Cedar Rock Dairy Price Change
We are so fortunate to have Cedar Rock Dairy deliver their milk weekly. Sam hates to do this but due to rising costs he has to increase the price of his milk. He’s been putting this off for several months but unfortunately he has no choice but to increase the price so he can continue to bring us the best Non-GMO, grass fed milk. Starting this weekend these are the prices:
Milk – Raw Jersey Cow Milk for Pets 1/2 gal (Glass Jar)* – $4.40
Milk – Raw Jersey Cow Milk for Pets (Plastic Jug) – $5.50

If you’ve been purchasing in plastic but would like to switch to glass, Sam will list additional GLASS JAR SETS on the market for purchase. If you order your glass jar set this weekend you can immediately order milk in glass as the jars will already be at the farm. Please note you have to have glass jars or purchase a set before you can get the glass jar price! For more info on how the glass jar program works and your responsibilities please click here

Group Buy this weekend

This weekend we will be taking orders for Sorghum Syrup from Muddy Pond Sorghum Mill.

One of our fellow co-op members told me about this wonderful small family farm in TN that produces 100% Pure Sorghum Syrup. If you are unfamiliar with sorghum syrup, it comes from a plant usually called “sweet sorghum”. This plant is grown in climates too hot and dry for corn. It originated in Africa before traveling to Asia, Europe, and North America. Other varieties of sorghum are grown for grain or livestock use, but sweet sorghum has a juicier stalk.

Sorghum syrup is made by cooking down the juice from the stalk causing the water to evaporate thus concentrating the syrupy sweetness. Sorghum syrup retains all minerals.

The nutritional profile for a 1 tbsp. serving of sorghum syrup comes to 3 percent of your overall daily value of calcium, 4 percent iron, 5 percent magnesium, 6 percent potassium, 7 percent vitamin B6 and 16 percent manganese.

Sorghum syrup can be used the same as honey or maple syrup.

All sorghum is packaged in attractive plastic jugs that are BPA free.

Pricing includes our discount, shipping and taxes.

I will place our order this Monday and do not expect it to be available at pick up for 2 – 3 weeks.
We only order once a year so don’t miss out!
