Heirloom Living Market Lawrenceville :  Group Buy Cod Liver Oil and some other Great News!


Greetings All:

Really Great News

Although Marie of Bakery on Brooks has been very busy with her volunteer position, she generously found time to bake some items for the Gluten Free Members this week! Yay! Marie’s goodies will be available on the Farmers’ Sale Table at your Market! Get there early for pickup or you will miss out!

This week at Market we will be taking orders for Green Pasture Products. They offer Fermented Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil, X-Factor Butter Oil, Coconut Oil Blend infused with Cod Liver Oil, Skate Oil and the X-Factor Butter Oil, Pure Virgin Coconut Oil and Ghee.

You can open the Price List and Order Form by clicking Price List and Order Sheet

I did my best to make the document easy to understand by Listing the products under categories. The price listed DOES include shipping and you are saving about 10% off the product and at least $10 in shipping if you ordered it yourself. We must have a minimum order of 12 items to get the prices that are listed on the document. All orders must be pre-paid at Market this week. I will order the product on Friday morning and we will have it at Market pickup next week, October 16th.

For those of you who already use Green Pasture Products, you are aware of the benefits; for those of you who are new to the products, I have listed some known benefits below:

1. Better stamina and improved muscle strength
2. Improves nervous system and brain functioning
3. Reduces stiffness, inflammation and joint pain
4. Reduces eczema
5. Relieves depression and anxiety
6. Improves sleeping habits
7. Improves immune system
8. Improves bone density
9. Thins blood
10. Protects arteries from damage
11. Inhibits blood clots
12. Inhibits cancer
13. Lowers LDL cholesterol and blood pressure
14. Reduces risk of heart attack and stroke
15. Relieves migraine headaches
16. Eases symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
17. Soothes bronchial asthma
18. Reduces heart disease
19. Reduces risk of lupus
20. Combats early kidney disease

Fermented cod liver oil is sourced from organ tissues that contain high nutrient levels. Fermentation tends to transform natural vitamins into metabolites of co-factor enzymes that are easily absorbed by the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in cod liver oil and it contains more Vitamin A than any other common food.

The best vitamin D comes from the sun. With Winter right around the corner we will no longer be able to take advantage of playing in the dirt, swimming, golfing, riding bikes, playing tennis. Ramp up your immune system for whatever nasty little bugs that naturally come our way in colder weather.

I admit, for you newbies, Cod Liver Oil is NOT my favorite and I literally hold my breath and drink a 1/2 glass of Sam’s sweet, fresh milk to get it down everyday, but for me… it works. I noticed a difference in stamina and energy within about a week of starting on the product. For you folks who just can’t imagine the taste, the non-gel gaps are a definite option!


Green Pasture Website
will give you a plethora of information! David Wetzel, the owner of this family run business has some great articles as well as a selection of articles from many other sources.

Thanks for taking time to read this information and we will see you tomorrow at Market!

Joyful thoughts and bountiful blessings,

Local Farms First:  Order Pick-Up Reminder



Greetings Local Farms First Food Lovers,

Also – some of our farmers are asking to reuse the plastic bags they pack your orders in every week. If you have some piling up in your house, bring them to the pick-up location so our farmers can reduce the amount of plastic they use. Thanks!

South Cumberland Food Hub:  Green Beans!


Good Morning from the South Cumberland Food Hub.

Ferrell Farms has green beans back for a short period of time, at least until the first frost gets them, or they sell out. They are very tasty straight from the bush! They still have tomatoes and bell peppers despite the cold blast last week. Hot peppers are in abundance and make an excellent spicy/sweet soup when cooked and blended with winter squash. Yum!

White City also has tomatoes despite the cold and some awesomely interesting pumpkins for sale as well. Their mums are beautiful and do great in this weather to cheer you up while they herald in winter.

Brown’s Hollar has turnip greens and EGGS are back today! Hot peppers are plentiful here too.

Keel Produce has turnip greens and collards ready. Nice and tender. It’s “greens time” now that the weather is turning cooler, and that’s a good thing since there is so much nutrition in leafy greens.

We have many more products available (don’t forget the garlic from Solace Farm to ward off colds/flus- it also pairs well with the hot pepper and winter squash soup):
Click here to go directly to the Rootedhere Locally Grown Market Page

We’re open till noon!

Champaign, OH:  Oakview Farm Meats Invites You!!


We continue with our vendor love!!

Our vendors just keep on offering us festivals, open houses, farm visits…and we love it!!

This Saturday, make sure to make plans to head out to Oakview Farm Meats!! Here is what’s happening…

Meats will be showcased at Oakview Farm Meat Shop on Sat., Oct. 11 from 9 am – 5 pm. Pork is the most economical of the 3 meats – Pork, Beef, Chicken – offerred to our customers.Pork is raised on Oakview Farm by the Runyan Family.Therefore we have more control over the costs. We raise the GMO Free Corn, grind and mix all the feed and use the manure as natural fertilizer for our crops.Oakview has developed excellent meat quality using genetics from hogs that we imported from Sweden 17 years ago. This meat quality did not happen overnight and would be difficult to duplicate.All meat is vacuum-packed and frozen immediately after processing. Come out to the Oakview Meat Shop and enjoy our efforts. Patties, Brats and In-Bone Pork Chops will be grilled on the GMG pellet grill to sample and purchase. Of course, frozen meat will also be available to purchase. Looking forward to serving you.
