CO-OP NEWS

Online ordering is now closed for this week but we have so much going on that I just wanted to send out a little reminder…


THURSDAY
Co-op pickup at my house from 3:00pm – 7:00pm (890 Melody Ln, Roswell GA 30075)
You can stop by any time during that 4 hour window to pick up your order. Our Wilderness Family Naturals order from last week should also be here by then so you can get that stuff as well. Even if you don’t have anything to pick up you are welcome to come hang out and chat with other co-op members while the kids play. The best time for visiting is from 3:00pm to 5:00pm. After that I will be making dinner and getting ready for the canning class that starts at 7:00pm.

Goat Milk Samples: I bought some extra goat milk this week if anyone wants to try it. I might even split my exta gallon with someone if you just want a little to take home (to see how your pets like it).

Canning Workshop 7:00pm – 9:00pm
Brandon Follett, owner of From Mimi’s Mountain Home, will lead the workshop. Please RSVP here so we will have a head-count for supplies. Each participant will take home a few jars of the foods we can.

From Mimi’s Mountain Home: Brandon will also have his farmers’ market booth set up during the workshop with all of his natural cleaning supplies, bath & body products, and essential oils for sale AND 25% of the proceeds will go to co-op!


FRIDAY
Mother Earth Meats order deadline, May 3rd. (delivery May 18th)
Get pasture raised meats at great prices. We are not ordering through the co-op website this time. Read the details about how to order here.


SATURDAY
Chicken Processing at East West Farm
I will be at East West Farm in Marietta this Saturday (May 4th) getting up close and personal with real food. We could use some more willing hands to help with chicken processing starting around 9:00am. Bring your cooler because anyone that is willing to donate a few hours of their time will get a fresh pasture raised organic chicken to take home. There is no food better than what you help produce! Call me if you have any questions or trouble finding the farm. And make sure to check out their website www.eastwestfarm.com for the latest news from the farm. They are taking orders now for chickens and whole or half pigs that will be availabe later in the year.


FRIDAY, May 10
Carlton Farm Tour
This is my kids’ favorite farm to visit. We have a group tour scheduled for Friday, May 10th. Carlton Farm is the co-op’s main source of milk, eggs and meat. This is a great opportunity to see where our food comes from and meet the people that work so hard to produce it. Read all the details and RSVP here.


See you soon :)
