Gwinnett Locally Grown:  The Market Reopens Tomorrow!!

We appreciate your patience as we worked out some things with our market the past few months.

We are excited to be re-opening the GLG Market tomorrow morning at 9am!

A few things have changed so here are the details:

We are now offering produce boxes! Unlike most produce box companies you are NOT required a minimum box purchase before you order anything else.

Ordering now opens on Wednesday at 9am and closes on Friday at 9am. Pickups will be Thursdays from 4-7pm the following week at Rancho Alegre.

All market orders must be pre-paid by credit card or you can bring a cash payment for future orders at next weeks pick up to apply to your GLG account. Orders cannot be paid for at pickup.

We are now offering fundraising opportunities for local school and businesses. If you know someone that would be interested please feel free to email us at [email protected]

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  News: Group Buy- Wilderness Family Naturals

Group Buy: Wilderness Family Naturals (Organic Coconut Oils and Pantry Items)

This weekend we will be taking orders for organic coconut oils and pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals.

These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, Nuts (Raw, Soaked & Dried, Certified Organic, Mixed) and natural sweeteners.

These Group Buy Items WILL NOT be at pick up this Tuesday. I will place our group buy order after I receive payment on Tuesday. This is a pre-paid pre-order and payment is expected this Tuesday at pick or you can mail a check.
Please expect at least 2 weeks for this order to arrive.

This is our last group buy for Wilderness Family Natural products this year so please plan accordingly.

New Vendor:Nature’s Kitchen

I am very excited to welcome Rory Mitchell of Nature’s Kitchen in Roswell to our family of growers and vendors!

Nature’s Kitchen was founded by Rory Mitchell with the help of his wife and son. They began their food journey experimenting with various herbs and spices as a means to improve their health and begin living a healthier lifestyle. They also wanted to introduce the flavors of their cultures to their children. Rory is from Jamaica while his wife is from India. From this came 2 new products -Jammin’ Jerk Marinade and Smokin’ Jerk BBQ Saucinade. They are currently in the process of launching some new flavors as well.

Nature’s Kitchen participated in the 2016 Flavors of Georgia competition and was presented the Food Product Contest Finalist award for their Smokin’ Jerk BBQ Saucinade!

Their sauces and marinades are made with vegetarian ingredients, are gluten free, contain no high fructose corn syrup, and are GMO- free.

I used the Smokin’ Jerk BBQ Saucinade to make some jerk shrimp and my family loved it. It is a mild jerk flavor so the kids were also able to enjoy and has wonderful complex flavor profile.

1. Marinade shrimp while you heat up grill
2. Skewer shrimp
3. cook 1 to 2 minutes per side (or until fully cooked)
4. add more saucinade or serve on side for dipping
Enjoy!

New Vendor: Crave Pie Studio

I am very happy to welcome Briana Carson of Crave Pie Studio in Duluth to our family of growers and vendors!

We hope you enjoyed the pie and quiche samples at pick up on Tuesday! Brianna will be listing her Maple Pecan, Quiches, Dutch Apple, Chocolate Chess, and Lemon Chess pies this weekend.

Their artisan bakers skillfully craft each pie with fresh seasonal ingredients and our signature all butter pastry.

Crave Pie will offer a changing variety of 5" mini pies on the market weekly.

All of their pies that are listed on the market contain ingredients that are non-GMO, organically grown, or certified organic.

I’ve tried their pies and they are absolutely delicious! And I’m glad they are small so I don’t feel guilty… sometimes it’s the small pleasures that bring the most joy!!

Carrell Farms & Buffalo Gal

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). So for November that will be the 8th.

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.

Volunteers Needed

Please consider volunteering during market pick up. I can’t run the co-op without your help!

WE NEED A VOLUNTEER THIS TUESDAY AT 5 PM!

FACEBOOK – Opportunity to help!
Many of you have told me that you can’t volunteer due to your work/family schedule and I completely understand. You’ve also asked what else can I do help out the co-op? Here’s one way that will really help us out – if you are on Facebook or other social media please consider posting a pic of your co-op goodies! I have a very limited marketing budget and really depend on word of mouth advertising. Please feel free to spread the word about our wonderful market! Tag us @SuwaneeWholeLife
