We’ve decided to temporarily discontinue the Wednesday market. We’re not getting the interest we were hoping to make it worth having. Our Saturday market is going strong and will continue, ordering Wednesday 10am thru Thursday at 8pm and pick up on Saturday from 10-12.
Sunday, I sent out a survey asking you to respond with your interest in some other locations and times. You can find the email/survey on the Weblog if you missed it. So far a popular pick up point is Saturday at Midway park. If adding this location works, we may look into adding others, but we would need a volunteer to cover these areas. Let me know if you are interested.
GROUP BUY
Gelatin – Collagen Hydrolysate (beef kosher) Unflavored
I’m continuing to offer the group buy orders for Gelatin. You will find it listed under the “Group Buy” category so you can order it along with your normal order.
This item comes from Great Lakes Gelatin and is only shipped in boxes of 12. The order will be placed once we reach that minimum. Cold water Soluble for use in cold beverages or recipes.
Hydrolyzed Collagen is the unique combination of amino acids in concentrated levels that promotes rapid re-production of blood cells for healing and conditioning over other proteins especially for bone and joint health care. This low molecular weight protein is easily digested for healthy enrichment in minutes after ingestion. It will not congeal because it has been hydrolyzed for quick assimilation and improved hydration to the connective tissue. Collagen is important to nitrogen balance, now considered an anti-aging product as it supports age related cartilage damage, and collagen loss. This gelatin comes from all grass fed, hormone free, pesticide free and antibiotic free cows.
PICK UP LOCATION
Building 106, Colony Park Dr. in the Basement of Suite 100, Cumming, GA 30040. Pick up every Saturday between 10-12pm.

Market Survey
Our Wednesday market isn’t getting very much interest, for the last 3 weeks we’ve gotten an average of 10 customers ordering which makes it hard to see the need for a weekday market. Maybe a different time, day or location would help.
I need to hear from you! We’ve been talking about some different options and I need to hear what you think.
Would you like a Wednesday pick up at the market between 5:30-6:30pm?
Would you like a Saturday pick up at Midway Park off of Post Rd between 1:30-2:30pm?
Would you like a pick up near Exit 12/Hwy 9 either Wednesday or Saturday?
Would you pay an additional delivery fee if delivery was available?
Please reply back to this email with your preference or suggestion. There are over 1500 of you that I’d like to be able to provide with all the great food we have available. Let us know what we can do to make it convenient for you.
Happy 1st day of June!

Bread using Lizzie’s Pantry Flour
Yeast Brew:
1 Tbsp. SAF Yeast (#1051)
¼ cup warm water
1 ½ tsp sugar
Dough:
3 cups hot water
1 TBSP Refined Sea Salt
½ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
¼ cup Grandma’s Molasses
½ cup Raw Local Honey
4 cups Prairie Gold Whole Wheat Flour
Set aside
Mix in Bosch or bread mixer until smooth.
Add Yeast Brew.
Mix together:
2 ½ cups Prairie Gold Whole Wheat Flour
¾ cups Non Fat Dry Milk (be certain to add in with dry ingredients)
Add to dough mixture
Add additional cups of Prairie Gold Whole Wheat Flour, approximately 2-3 cups, until the dough is just slightly sticky to the touch. Not too sticky!
Knead in Bosch or Kitchen Aid mixer 10 minutes.
Place in large bowl, coated with oil.
Place in warm area to rise to double. (approx one hour, depending on warmth of kitchen)
Note: If kitchen is slightly cool, turn on dishwasher for 5 minutes, then shut off and add bowl of dough with Food Film covering it. This adds moisture to your bread and will help it rise quickly.
Remove from large bowl and place on oiled surface. Cut into 3 equal portions. (I like to weigh out each piece of dough to be sure all are the same weight.) Roll out, forming loaf. Pinch so dough is firmly together and has no seams visible.
Place in Vegalene (#1052) coated Stainless Steel bread pans and let rise until double.
Cover again with clean cloth. Let rise until about an inch above the loaf pan. (approx 30-45 minutes depending on warmth of kitchen)
Preheat oven to 350° and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Place on cooling racks and brush butter on top.
Yield: 3 beautiful loaves of whole wheat bread.
*If using glass loaf pans, reduce heat to 325°

Mushroom Nob has listed Wine Cap King Stropharia Mushrooms and Silver Oyster Mushrooms on the market. He grows gourmet mushrooms including several varieties of oysters, piopinni, King stropharia, shitake, blewit, lion’s mane, and maitake. He also has wild species depending on the season. No chemicals are used on the mushrooms and God takes care of the foraged foods so you can’t get more organic than that.
