No Change to Pick up schedule
We will have normal pick up this Tuesday. Looking at the holiday calendar, we will have normal pick up Christmas week and New Year’s week. Don’t forget if you go on vacation and have a produce box from Nature’s Garden Express to put your box on vacation hold. The best way to ensure this happens is to give them a call at 770-441-9976.
Carrell Farms & Buffalo Gal (REPEAT)
Carrell Farms & Buffalo Gal are back on the market!
They took their items off temporarily to figure out the logistics of getting their items to us and other markets without taking too much time away from the farm. I’m so glad to we are able to find a way to continue to work with Carrell Farms to provide the market Pasture Raised Water Buffalo, Lamb, and Alpaca!
The solution we worked out is this: allow members to order each week but Carrell Farms will deliver to our market once per month ( the 2nd week of each month). Next delivery is December 13th .
Buffalo Gal items will also be available and be shipped directly to your address and/or we will have table sales items available at pick up.
Check out their new seasonal body butters scented with essential oils – Chai Spice, Pumpkin Spice Latte, and Mocha Latte in addition to their entire line of products.
