Heirloom Living Market Lilburn:  Good morning! Market is Open!


The Market is Open…Happy Shopping!



Request for prayers…

Benny, our milk delivery man, is home from the hospital; however his equilibrium has been greatly affected. Please pray for his recovery. Also, please keep Sam in your prayers. In addition to our Markets, he must continue his deliveries to his Markets in middle and south Georgia! There are only so many hours in the day! After making the trip middle Georgia yesterday to pick up milk and eggs from Sam’s Farm, Cedar Rock Dairy, Bethe Munn and I have a much greater appreciation of the efforts Sam and his staff exert to bring us fresh and delicious milk!


A very special thanks goes out to Bethe Munn for giving up her whole day on Wednesday to travel with me in her truck to pick up milk and eggs. Her generosity is the reason we all got milk yesterday! Also, Happy Birthday, Bethe! (July 15th)


Also, thanks go out to Kathy and Keb Barnes for meeting us at the Church to unload!


Birthday wishes go out to Keb Barnes who celebrated his birthday Thursday, July 14th (and didn’t tell a soul!) Hope you have a wonderful year Keb! It makes my heart smile to be around you and your wonderful wife, Kathy! The love you have for each other is truly inspiring! Thank you for all you do – both of you!

There will be Peaches delivered next Thursday. Due to a miscommunication (unfortunately it was MINE), we did not get Peaches yesterday. I apologize for the inconvenience! Don’t forget to order them this week! Also, if you have an interest in getting a half bushel of ‘seconds’, please email me at heirloomlivingmarket@gmail.com (these are slightly misshaped and Watsonia will not sell at Markets). I do not have pricing yet, but will let you know if you are interested. Great for freezing or making preserves!


Please know that we appreciate the support of All Saints Lutheran Church for the use of the great spaces for Market. We are grateful for you and for your support of our dedicated, LOCAL Farmers/Growers and Artisans.

Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville :  Thank you and Happy Birthday!


Happy Birthday, Bethe!



May your day be a joyful one and may the coming year bring you continued happiness, good health and peace! Please know that Market folks appreciate you and I am grateful for your efforts, time and passion for Heirloom Living Market!


I would also like to thank you for your generosity in taking your entire day and part of your evening on Wednesday to drive your truck down to middle (I think it is really SOUTH Georgia) to pick up milk and eggs for the Markets! We would all be ‘crying over NO milk’ if not for your kindness!


Milk folks – egg folks, all folks — you can give Bethe extra kudos or a plain thank you and wish Bethe a Happy Birthday NEXT week at Market! She celebrates the entire month! (Sounds like a great idea to me!)


Again, thank you!

~Maryanne and all your friends at Market!
