Joyful Noise Acres Farm: The market is open for ordering.
Happy frosty Friday! What a glorious sunrise and day we are going to have. I hope you can get some Vitamin D therapy today. Speaking of, I have been going to The Genesis Center *in Cumming for my health care and Dr. Sloan was saying they are predicting this to be a very sick winter for the US. We do not want that bad report or the sicknesses so now is the time to boost your immune system with Vit. D, probiotics, Elderberry syrup, etc. Reduce sugars and eat more veggies. Also, for your supplement needs, Renee Lowe of *Herbal Intentions is a walking encyclopedia of herbs and supplements. Her store stocks only the best supplements that are proven to work. Oh and Cod Liver Oil, have a connection for that too if needed. Didn’t mean to be a commercial but it is so important to stay healthy.
Vegetables, Georgia Farm to Table *is filling the boxes with all kinds of fresh, local and seasonal produce and fruits. Remember you can substitute items if you family just does not like something offered this week. *_Joyful Noise Acres Farm_ has a few greens available this week and more growing. Kale, India Mustard greens and collards are all ready to pick.
The last batch of chickens are processed. Come by Saturday between 11 and 2 for fresh chicken. if you want thighs or wings, you better hurry, we have a very limited amount available until next year so now is the time to stock up. The ducks are ready also and they are beautiful. I will be preparing one tonight, will let you know how it comes out.
We are honored to add _Snack n Joy _to our line-up of wonderful bakers! She has been offering her products for several weeks now and also is selling them in Whole Foods. Snack n Joy grew from a need for quality gluten free foods. The mass produced items are full of fillers and highly processed ingredients that do not provide the nutrition, not to mention they taste bleh. Snack n Joy uses all organic ingredients; millet, amaranth, and buckwheat, to make her beautiful cookies and crackers. They are beautiful, nutritious and delicious. She will have truffles available over the holidays and let me say, they are unlike anything I have tasted, just a wonderful, creamy explosion of flavor that melts in your mouth.
Well, chatty Cathy will sign off now, thanks to each of you for reading this, thank you for supporting your local growers and bakers,
Blessings,
Mary Beth

DOGWOOD FARM is introducing Spiced Cranberry Apple Chutney. At Tuesday’s market, there will be samples to taste, and jars will be offered for sale, too. This delightful chutney is also available through the online market. Check it out!-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
THE COFFEE BREAK OPEN HOUSE will be on Tuesday, December 2, between 2:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. (before market). This Coffee Break will target holiday gift-giving to get our customers (and new customers from the Sewanee community) to come see the market and order your wonderful products online. And that day, they will be able to buy items, as well.-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
PLACING AN ORDER
Before you order, be sure you see the little shopping cart. If you do not, log out and log in again. If this fails, turn off your computer completely and start again. This includes ordering from smart phones.
If you want to leave a comment for a grower, be sure to put it in the “Leave comment for grower” area in RED beneath the item you’re ordering. Placing comments in the market manager section will not be seen by the growers.-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
BIOINTENSIVE GARDENING
We have had several requests for information on biointensive gardening/farming. If you are interested in a very informal discussion group on this subject, please let us know so we can add you to the list, either on the teacher or student side. Everyone is welcome, including those not currently customers or growers on the market.-————————————————————————————————————————————————————
NEW DELIVERY DRIVER
If you would like to have your market order delivered, have you contacted Rachel Lynch, the new Sewanee delivery driver? E-mail: radelo50@yahoo.com or phone 931-598-0774.
Don’t forget: Rachel is NOT affiliated with the CFM and, therefore, is not authorized to accept payments of any kind on behalf of the CFM.

To ensure your account always has a positive balance, the CFM prefers payments in increments of at least $100.00. Mail checks made out to CFM to Kir Strobel, 744 Timberwood Trace, Monteagle, TN 37356.
Should at-home delivery not work for you, your second option is to leave your order at the Center to be picked up by you or a designée by 6 p.m. Wednesday. As with any left-behind order, there will be a $3.00 fee unless that order has been prepaid in full in advance. Don’t forget there is no freezer at the Center for the forseeable future, so it is imperative your items be picked up in a timely manner.-———————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Group Buy: Unrefined Sea Salts
Our long awaited group for for Unrefined Sea Salts from Saltworks is finally here!
We only order sel gris de Guérande once a year so you don’t want to miss out!
Please expect to pick up your salt order in 1 to 2 weeks. See my gift idea below. During the holidays I gift this salt to friends and family and they absolutely love it!
Sea Salt Description
The French perfected the art of high quality, hand-harvested sea salt by using centuries old Celtic methods. It’s no coincidence they produce the finest grey sea salt in the world. Sel Gris is known for its beautiful grey color, coming from the clay lining the salt ponds, as well as its high moisture content and extraordinary mineral content, with bonus nutrients not found in most sea salts. Over 15% of the material in sel gris de Guérande are trace minerals—possibly the highest of any salt anywhere. 100 grams of sel gris contains about 100 minerals, including 34g of sodium, 287mg calcium, 109mg potassium, 34mg magnesium, 11mg iron, 1mg manganese, and 0.35mg zinc, plus a host of trace minerals like from antimony, copper, germanium, and gold to iodine, to palladium, yttrium, and zirconium.
Sel Gris Tamisé is a medium-sized crystal that is carefully sifted from the brut grains and is comparable to the size of Fleur de Sel. Great for baking and cooking, or to add a delicate crunch to your favorite dish.
Sel Gris Fine is the very same high quality grey salt as the coarser varieties, but is stone ground for easy dispensing from a salt shaker. No additives of any kind are mixed with the salt. The naturally delicious flavor of grey salt and its lower sodium content make this a perfect replacement for ordinary table salt.
Gift Idea- Pour unrefined sea salt into a decorative glass jar, add beautiful ribbon and it’s the perfect gift for anyone who enjoys cooking! You can even add a card with the description above. Makes a perfect Hostess gift too!

Personal Training Co-op Discount from Body Construction
My name is Kelly Bryant and I have been a member of the Suwanee Whole Life Co-op for a couple of years. The co-op has provided our family convenient access to healthy and local foods that we love! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) and a personal trainer and I enjoy helping others to achieve their nutritional and health goals through functional nutrition and working out.
My husband and I own personal training studios in Duluth and Buckhead, where we have been in business for 18 years. The type of strength training that we specialize in is called “Superslow” (or slow movement high intensity) training. This type of training is different than the common “faster” training styles that often create lifetime muscle and joint issues. Our method of training is easy on your joints, effectively increases strength, while reducing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, and improving overall health.
This training is also perfect for time-crunched individuals because you get superior results in as little as 20-30 minutes a week – No more running to the gym 4-5 times a week and spending an hour each time. Our private studios have state-of-the-art equipment which can be adjusted to fit all different sizes of people.
We also have no membership fees and you only pay month-to-month. Please contact me to schedule an appointment for a FREE training session to learn more and experience the workout.
I would enjoy the opportunity to meet you! PLUS, just for Suwanee Whole Life Co-op members only, I am offering a second FREE session when you sign up for at least 4 sessions of training. Kelly Bryant 706-207-6922; kbryantrd@gmail.com.
