Old99Farm Market: Old 99 farm, week of May 22 2016
Thanks Norma, Lawrence and Jennifer for you orders already in. I got variously distracted this week and neglected the weekly reminder memo.
I will have your orders ready but I will be away from 4pm attending an orcharding workshop. This Apple and Small Fruit study group meets every other thursday during the summer from 4:30 in Freelton.
Some feedback would be helpful: better to switch market to another day, like friday, for these weeks,or for all weeks till end summer, or, let people schedule own pickups?
Healthy eating

Gwinnett Locally Grown: THE MARKET IS OPEN!
Good morning and hello everyone!

This week my nutrition/wellness research focused on grass fed beef Vs "feedlots" beef. Let me just disclose something while I am on this topic, I am a vegetarian and have been for the past 9 years. I am also a nutritionist, graduated with a degree in Nutritional Sciences. As a nutritionist, I do not advocate for any particular diet but I do encourage everyone to get their fruits and vegetables DAILY and at least a total of 7 servings. Although I am not a meat eater, I can get on board with the health benefits of grass fed beef. Beef from grass fed animals has a higher content of Omega-3 fatty acid, lower levels of cholesterol, and high levels of fat soluble vitamins A and E. Not only is the nutritional profile of grass fed beef better when compared to conventional, but the animals are raised in a more humane way that's also better for the environment.
With that said, please head over to the market and show Fred (our "beef guy") some love! I'll make sure to thank him for keeping a steady supply for us, and for doing things the way it should be done.
As always, please check out the great selection The Veggie Patch offers. There's always room for veggies at the table!
ALSO AVAILABLE
- Raw Cow's Milk
- Raw Goat Milk
- Pastured, free range chicken eggs
- Pastured, free range duck eggs
- Pork
- Pastured, free range chicken
- Local honey
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, as well as any feedback on how we can better serve you. I am available Monday-Thursday 11am-4pm. grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com or 770-339-3065 ext 5
The Market is open Thursday at 9am – Monday at noon. After Monday at noon, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning. Pick up your order Tuesday from 4-7pm only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here
Our first Workshop is now scheduled! Want to learn about fermented foods and their health benefits? Please join us at Rancho Alegre Farm on June 2 at 7pm to learn all about this great source of probiotic! Please e-mail grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com to confirm attendance. Hope to see you there!
