Suwanee Whole Life Co-op:  Chuck, our volunteer is in the hospital

Hi Everyone, just wanted to let you know what’s going on with with one of our members/volunteer/friend Chuck since many of you know and have met him at pick up in Buford over the years. I spoke with him today and he said it was okay for me to share and ask for prayers.

Chuck started having some problems Friday night and Saturday he drove himself to the hospital. They confirmed that he was having a heart attack. He had a heart catheterization yesterday and they put in a stent where he had almost a hundred percent blockage in one artery. He attributes his change in eating habits over the past 3 years to why both are not blocked. He is feeling much better today and the doctor says he’s doing great. I know his positive outlook and faith in God are helping him get through this. He’s in good spirits and want you all to know that he’s gonna miss seeing everyone this week at our first pick up in Suwanee on Wednesday.

Please keep Chuck lifted in your prayers and thoughts for continued healing and speedy recovery!

Blessings,
Nora

GFM :  SPOTLIGHT VENDOR OF THE WEEK

SPOTLIGHT VENDOR
“RURAL RESOURCES”

Rural Resources Farm is on a former tobacco farm where we now practice sustainable methods to ensure this land for future generations of farmers. We practice organic farming methods, and only use antibiotics as needed and prescribed by the vet. We are a local non-profit connecting farms, food, and families through educational experiences. One of those educational experiences is our Farm and Food Teen Training Program that works with at-risk low income youth from around the county that have food security issues to help improve their food choices and availability. We do this through an intensive 4 year program where teens progress through different levels of food production. In year 1 the teens learn garden and livestock managements with the opportunity of having a home garden. The second year, the teens work with local chefs to learn how to cook fresh food in a healthy manner and use different kitchen equipment from standard home equipment to commercial. During the year, teens also cater meals in the community to reinforce skills they have learned and pick up some job skills. The 3rd and 4th year our teens learn about business development, planning, and implementation. Through this program, pigs have become the teens main livestock learning opportunity.

Dawson Local Harvest:  Egg-citing News for Dawson Harvest

Dawson Local Harvest for January 19th

Egg-citing News for Dawson Harvest

HI EVERYBOSY!

Good News for you Egg-lovers, we have added lovely large Duck Eggs and some of the prettiest multicolored large-Jumbo Chicken Eggs to Bakery*The Market* this week, both from BEAR RIDGE LODGE, a Certified Naturally Grown vendor new to our Harvest. Chickens generally don’t lay much during the short, cold days of winter, so having good quantities is a pleasant surprise.

BTW I think we have some excellent vendors in Dawson Harvest and remember you can always find information about all of the Providers on the Our Growers page.

Spotlight on MY DAILY BREAD, with several items returning to The Market this week. First off, Bagels, both Plain and also Everything, which is the absolute truth! And how about a treat for our Vegan customers, with Vegan Organic Spelt Bread. You’ll find them in the Fresh Bakery section.

THE MARKET IS NOW OPEN!

REMEMBER! You can now order until Tuesday night at 9 pm. Pick up your order at Leilani’s Gardens Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 pm.

You’ll find the DAWSON LOCAL HARVEST at http://dawsonville.locallygrown.net
