Independence,VA: Taking orders for pickup February 27th
Friends of the Market,
I will be glad to see the end of February! Thank you for looking at the weather forecast and choosing to stay home this past week. Between the snow and cold temperatures, it was nice not to have to worry about trying to schedule a safe delivery and pickup for everyone. This coming week looks cold as well but without the snow and sleet.
Happy shopping!

By the way, I tried Tammy’s recipe for egg noodles and they were fabulous! I have to admit to borrowing a pasta machine from Emi, but we had a blast making and eating the noodles. Look for a pasta making demonstration at the Market this season.
Augusta Locally Grown: THE ON-LINE MARKET IS OPEN AT AUGUSTA LOCALLY GROWN
LESLIE CARSON – the Sage and CEO of Luna Bug Soap – came to Augusta Locally Grown many years ago: first as customer, then as vendor, and finally as the quiet genius behind it all. She lifted our organization uncountable notches by paying attention to detail, designing accountability systems from scratch, caring deeply about customer service, and committing to help local farms succeed. She has been our ALG On-Line market manager, our Board treasurer, our Evans Towne Farmers Market logistician, our techy. Mostly, she has been a gift. With the bitter cold weather upon us this week, it’s hard to blame Leslie for wanting to return to her Floridian roots. Indeed, she’ll be moving soon. But before she goes, we celebrate the time and talents she steadfastly shared with ALG. Love you girl!

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy thoughts…. just remenber all the bugs that will not be here this summer because of the freezing temps, and all the fruit trees that need cold hours to produce wonderful fruit. I do pray you are all safe and warm. action Church in downtown Canton is a warming shelter if you or anyone you know is in need of a warm place to sleep.
The market is open for orders. We are blessed with wonderful farmers and artisans providing wonderful foods for us! This week we will have 2 new items to sample, they are not listed for sale yet, 390 Bars from Fat Lady Bakery, a complete protein bar using Ezekial grains and a variety of whole wheat cookies from The Pringles. I may have to open an extra milk and brew a pot of coffee for our tasting time.
Honey orders are due also. E-mail me if you need an order form.
Even if you are not ordering, drop by for a visit and see what we are all about.
Blessings,

GROUP BUY: Wilderness Family Naturals & Raw Mixed Nuts
This weekend we will be taking orders for organic pantry items from Wilderness Family Naturals. These items include healthy oils, spices, cacao, grains, rice, coconut products, natural sweeteners and skin care products. We will also take orders for bulk Organic Mixed Nuts -Raw from Nuts.com since WFN is out of bulk soaked & dried mixed nuts.
Case Pricing for Organic Raw Mixed Nuts
In order to get a reduced price on the mixed nuts we need to order 25lbs as a group. This delectable combination of raw organic mixed nuts includes organic cashews, Brazil nuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and filberts that are sure to please.
I recommend soaking as Sally Fallon and the Weston A. Price Foundation suggests, and then dehydrated at low temperatures to make your own crispy nuts.
All prices on the website include discounted bulk pricing, taxes, fees and shipping.
THIS ORDER WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO PICK UP THIS TUESDAY
This is a pre-paid pre-order. Payment is expected by this Tuesday. I will send out an prior to pick up when it is available. Due to shipping it will take at least 2 weeks before you can pick up.
