Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: Milk Order Decline- Please order to keep dairy
We’ve noticed a decline in milk orders over the past 4 months. We thought it was due to school ending but now that we are back in session, we are still seeing low orders. We are determining if this is a lack of interest/need or just folks forgetting to order.
Ordering has not been consistent for either dairy but particularly Cedar Rock Farm (Raw Jersey Cow Milk). I personally order milk from this dairy every week so I know that quality is definitely not the issue.
If orders do not pick up for Cedar Rock, we will have raw jersey cow milk delivery every other week instead of weekly. Sam drives over 2 hours one way to get us milk and it has becoming increasing difficult to justify the drive for him.
Please remember that we need to hit certain minimums in order for ALL our farmers and vendors to deliver to us.
Thank you in advance for placing your market order and supporting local farms and businesses! We can’t do it without your support!!

Champaign, OH: Let's Work Together
Oh well now, come on you people…
Walk hand in hand…
Let’s make this world of ours…
A good place to stand…
(Let’s Work Together-Canned Heat)
One of my favorite tunes that I always forget about, and then it will pop up on my Pandora, and I fall in love with it, all over again.
Such a fitting thought for this little local market of love. If vendors, customers, and the community, all walk, hand in hand, not only does it strengthen our market, but it helps the whole local vibe.
And, don’t we all just want to vibe along, happily, making it all a beautiful place?
I am opening the market for the week!! Thank you to all who ordered, this week!! We seem to be adding products, weekly!! I urge everyone to try our market, just one time, for even just one item, to get to know us…we promise, you will find it a good place to stand…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…
