The Market is open for ordering! WE HAVE RAW COW'S MILK!!

Welcome new Grower Jersey Fresh Milk!

Dawson Farms in Watkinsville, GA will be making weekly drops of fresh, Jersey raw milk in gallons from their Farm. I talked to Farmer Dawson and they take great pride in their cows and the milk they produce! It stays fresh two weeks or more and has lots of cream on top! It will be listed under Rancho Alegre Farms and I hear from Pilar that you will love the creamy taste!
Raw milk is extremely hard to find in our area so please give him your support so he can continue to keep us stocked in yummy raw milk!

Want to celebrate your July 4th in style with a fresh pig for your BBQ?

Brady at Double B Farm is selling 1/4 hog share, 1/2 hog share or a whole hog! They have piglets from 6 weeks and up.

In other news….

What’s up with the Salmon?
Back in Time Farm will be supplying Alaskan Wild Caught salmon through his son, Running Wild Alaskan Seafood, LLC.
This deliciously fresh salmon is carefully selected directly from the fishermen’s nets from the cold Alaskan waters before it ever enters the ship’s hold. Only the best is chosen to become part of " Running Wild Alaskan Seafood’s" premium offerings. The fish is immediately bled and iced down before making the short boat ride to the processor located in Homer, Alaska. Here it is quickly processed and flash frozen (to ensure freshness) then packed into coolers for the overnight trip to Georgia. This is the freshest salmon available without going to Alaska to catch it yourself. Red Sockeye salmon is packed with flavor and nutrition.
We are within a week or so of having this salmon at our very own market!The packages will be 8 ounces and sell for $9.50 a pack.
I have emailed all those interested that emailed me and I will be making sure that when they place their orders, they have priority. But there will be enough for Market sales. This will be the first catch and then we are hoping for a second catch 3 weeks later, but that isn’t guaranteed yet.
So watch for the email to buy coming in about a week or two.

As Always….

Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living.

Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!

If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your input!

Remember…
The Market is extending their hours! The Market will now be open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!
Having said that, if you place an order with us, PLEASE remember to pick it up on Tuesday. As I am so grateful for your orders, I also have a family at home waiting on me too! We cannot hold orders, especially cold items due to limited refrigeration space, so please be courteous and come for your order.
