Independence,VA: Market open only for Xmas trees and wreaths
Friends of the Market,
I have opened the market early for Christmas tree and wreath sales only. Please order by Friday night, the 21st if you want to reserve for November 28 pickup! We will have some unclaimed trees available on that date, but preordering assures a tree or wreaths will be waiting for you.
Thank you!

Republican Valley Produce: RVP Online Farmers Market is NOW OPEN!
I am trying to get back in the swing of things, but still struggling to remember that I backed up the market opening one day. Reminder, orders need to be in by Saturday at 10pm. If you are in Manhattan and placing a preorder for pick up at the winter market in Pottorf Hall at CICO park, please have your order placed by 5 pm on Friday please.
We have taken a hit on some produce, but I hope we have enough planted to carry us through. We aren’t suppose to have single digit cold in November!
I hope we can get some milder weather in for the next few weeks, we need it.
Thanks!
Jay, Linda and the Kids

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: News: Group Buy this Weekend

Our Website: suwanee.locallygrown.net
Pick Up Location: 4942 Austin Park Avenue, Buford GA 30518 on Tuesdays

Group Buy : Wilderness Family Naturals
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Mixed Nuts -Raw from Nuts.com since WFN is out of bulk soaked & dried mixed nuts.
Case Pricing for Organic Raw Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. This delectable combination of raw organic mixed nuts includes organic cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and filberts that are sure to please.
I recommend soaking as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures to make your own crispy nuts.
All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.
THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it can take up to 2 weeks before you can pick up.

South Cumberland Food Hub: Thanksgiving
Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub. My favorite holiday is almost here! I like to remember that our early ancestors set aside this day to show their thanks for the simple things in life- food, shelter, friendship and freedom. During this holiday think about the things you are thankful for and focus on how Blessed we are to have the simple things. Many people around the world don’t have any of the things I mentioned above. Despite certain things, it is still good to be an American.
We will be closed for the holiday and will re open the week of Dec.1st. I hope everyone has a super Thanksgiving and gets to enjoy it with your loved ones.
Local food is big business and more and more restaurants, stores and schools are getting involved. We are in the middle of a movement that is changing the way America eats and it is very exciting. Here’s a great article to show what is happening in our area, as well as all over the United States.

Thank you all for supporting your local farmers and artisans this past 2 years and we look forward to our continued service to you and our local growers and producers. See you on the 1st!
