Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: closed on 4/11 but open during Spring Break
Hi there,
We will have normal co-op pick up this Wednesday, April 4th during Spring Break. I just found out that I have to go out of town unexpectedly the next week for family reasons and won’t be back in time to have market on April 11th.
Only on April 11th – no market and only Fresh Harvest produce boxes. FH box pick up will be at Pam’s house NOT at Cultured Traditions. I’ll send out Pam’s address next week so we don’t cause confusion. FH will also send out a reminder.
You all know I wouldn’t close the market unless I had too. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Thank you,
Nora

Old99Farm Market: Old99 Farm week of Mar 25 2018
We have delicious new greens now in the greenhouse: chard, lettuce, arugula, kale and lettuce. Hope to see you friday.
New beef, along with chicken, pork and lamb.
I have bare root trees in cold storage ready to plant, these are large caliper trees, trunk diameter from 1 to 2 inches. We need to plant trees everywhere don’t we? For the good of the planet, reducing carbon pollution the natural way.
I am registered for an advanced permaculture design course starting early April. I’m offering to work with someone on doing the design for your place, from a 1/4 acre up to 20acres. No $$ cost to you but you’ll need to budget time as the ‘client’ to think through your objectives, hopes and wishes for your homeplace. This course lasts 10 weeks. By mid summer you’ll have a design for resilience and possibly quite self-sufficient lifestyle.

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder
Good morning!
Don’t forget to place your orders on the market before noon. You don’t want to miss out on local goodies for Easter entertaining! Need a treat tray? A Coconut Cream Pie? Hummus? We’ve got it, and it’s all made right here in Arkansas!
Best,
Program & Market Manager

The market opens at 10AM.
This week the market has a bounty of vegetables. Make sure to have the freshest food on your table this weekend: roasted carrots and turnips, savory Swiss Chard, or Kale Waldorf Salad all sound delicious to me!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don’t forget your deviled eggs! Although fresh eggs can be more difficult to peel than older eggs, we all know that the taste is far superior. Bramberi Farms has even listed an Easter basket- ready dozen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And for dessert, strawberries are here again! (You have to be quick on the ordering to get these; they will be gone in a flash.) Or skip the fuss but still serve homemade and order one of HomeSpun Baking Company’s fabulous tortes or pies- Blueberry Almond, Cherry Almond, Dutch Apple or Pecan.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next week is the first of April, the perfect time to plant your veggies and herbs! Heirloom Gardens and Leilani’s Garden have 19 different vegetables, herbs and flowers for sale on the market, everything from coleus to kale to chamomile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also on the market this week:
Bramberi Farm – listed several lamb products
Cultured Traditions
Doug’s Wild Alaskan Salmon
Lillian’s Sweet Hawaiian
My Daily Bread
and many others
