A NOTE ABOUT PEACHES – Organic peaches do not have any synthetic fungicide or petroleum-based wax to extend their naturally short shelf-life. We deliver them slightly firm, and they soften extremely quickly, so prepare to eat or process them within about two days of delivery.

Calling all local, non-GMO, organic, humane farmers & livestock handlers! First Alliance Church in Atlanta (near Decatur) is hosting an all-day, one-day event as a community service to raise awareness of the need to get back to local, organic food sources and to equip the community with practical steps.

Group Buys
Green Pastures – The June order has arrived!
Butter – Butter is available at the market. The butter is not listed online, send an email to me to order or just ask when you come in to pick up. Each tub is 1 lb. for $6.50 and comes in unsalted and lightly salted. This shipment of butter is a very rich yellow color. It’s amazing how the butter changes with the seasons. Cows eating more green grass really makes for a richer butter.
