CO-OP NEWS



I hope everyone had a happy and relaxing Mothers’ Day weekend. Don’t forget to place your co-op order by 7:00pm tonight.


New Farm
We welcome a new farm to the Melody Lane Co-op this week. BeeBerry Farms is a Certifed Naturally Grown farm located in Cumming, Ga. Read more about what Certified Naturally Grown means here and visit their facebook page to see some pictures from the farm. You will find their eggs, honey, and soap listed in The Market this week and more products including berries and fruits when they become available later this summer.


Reserve your summer vegetable share now…
This is the last week of the spring vegetable CSA from Moss Hill Farm. The summer CSA session starts on May 23rd. Don’t miss out on these beautiful, fresh veggies. Reserve your share today. Read all the details about how the CSA works and sign up here. You are welcome to stop by my house this Thursday after 3:00pm to get a preview of what a vegetable share looks like. Also, I just checked and there is still one extra vegetable share availabe in The Market this week for only $40. Go get it before someone else does!


Bulk Coffee
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is now offering 5 pounds of whole bean coffee for just $55. This is a great deal on fresh, locally roasted specialty coffee! Split it with a friend or it can be stored in an airtight container and used over a few weeks. Juanice Christian from JavaGenesis will be at my house this Thursday from 3:00 to 6:00 sharing some samples of their coffee so you can ‘try before you buy’ and ask her any questions about the coffee roasting process. Even if you have not orderd anything this week you are welcome to stop by.


Updated delivery schedule on select items…
Starting June 6th, products from Good Shepherd Herbals and milk from Father’s Bounty Farm will only be available every other week. You can read more details and check exact dates here.

GROUP BUYS



Green Pasture
I have several bottles of Cod Liver Oil and Butter Oil on hand, available for pick up this week. You will find them listed in The Market under the category COD LIVER OIL. Next week I will start taking orders for another group order.


Other Items
Whenever I (or some other members of the co-op) see a good deal on a hard to find product we will often go ahead and buy a whole case to share with the co-op. A few things listed in The Market now are Coconut Cream Concentrate from Tropical Traditions (under COCONUT PRODUCTS), Unflavored Gelatin Powder from Great Lakes (under SUPPLEMENTS), and Smoked Sea Salt from The Spice Lab (under SALT). Since these are all things I use in my kitchen on a regular basis, I will be happy to let you sample any of these items and can share a few recipes or recommended uses. All you have to do is ask!
