MARKET NEWS
Benji has pork listed this week, Russell is listing butter again, Mandy is back with her baked goods, and Lisa has returned from jury duty! Nicholas occasionally has raw goat’s milk available outside of Tuesday Market. If you are willing to drop by the farm on days other than Tuesday, text him at 404-542-0981 to check on availability. He has an off-farm job too, so texting is better than calling.

PRODUCT FOCUS: BAKED GOODS
Did you know we have gluten-free products?

Muffins – Blueberry/lLemon corn – gluten free
Grower: Sylvan Falls Mill

Muffins – Mike’s giggling good muffins – gluten free
Grower: Sylvan Falls Mill

Gluten Free Fudge Brownies
Grower: Smokin’ Buns Baked Goodness

Our bakers also make items I call “traditional breads” – Sourdough, Rye or Whole Wheat loaves, Kaiser Rolls, Focaccia, Brioche Nanterre, Challah, Scones, and a huge selection of bagels … not to mention Sylvan Falls Mill makes chocolate croissants! I have a serious addiction to potato chips, and chocolate. Sylvan Falls Mill’s Easter eggs were absolutely divine, I can’t wait to try their croissants (not that that has anything to do with potato chips)!

I plan to eventually eat my way through the entire Gwinnett Locally Grown Market. Someday!

Mother Earth Meats: Ordering and delivery is available for Mother Earth Meats this month! IMPORTANT NOTE: Delivery will now take place on Saturdays. DEADLINE FOR ORDERING IS THIS SATURDAY, MAY 17. Delivery will be Saturday, May 31. We are in the process of establishing a firm time for the drop, which is somewhat dependent on how many orders there are. It is quite possible MEM will be going to a 6-week order/delivery program rather than once a month, so you might want to consider ordering in bulk for your own freezer. We currently do not have storage space for six weeks…

Please contact grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com for questions pertaining to Market or Raw Milk. It is very difficult to take phone calls, especially in the spring on a working farm. Remember to follow us on Facebook and Meetup to get notification on all our wonderful events and news.
