Honey, Syrup, Butter and Beef

Hi friends,

It is time to place our orders again so please read carefully as there is a quite a bit to share. I cannot attach files to this e-mail so please e-mail me at thesellars@windstream.net and I will send you the forms to order honey and syrup.

Attached is the form for honey orders, please return this to me promptly. I always worry someone will miss the cut off and try to extend the order but can’t do that this year as we order at the same time as 2 other co-ops order. This will be the only honey order this year. Instead of doing 2 orders, we will do just one so please consider that when ordering.

We are ordering maple syrup at this time also so please complete the form and return it also. The syrup will not be in until April, most likely, but I have to get the order and payment in at the same time.

We will not have butter until the end of March when the cows freshen again. If you would like to get butter, e-mail me with the quantity you want and I will reserve it for you when it arrives, first come first served depending on how much we can get. You will pay for it at that time. This butter freezes so nicely. It is $6.50/pound.

Allison of Four Mile Farm has 2 cows being processed and has a great deal on grass fed, grass finished beef. This is the beef you have been buying through us. She is offering 20 pounds of mixed cuts, roasts and ground beef, for $6.50/lb and 30 pounds for $6.00/lb. Please go to her website and order directly from her, www.grassfedisbetter.com

Thank you all for being a part of our farm family. It has been a pleasure to grow for you and help you access clean food. However, this will be the last order I will place for our co-op. You can order directly from Old State Farm for the syrup but at the retail price, you can also visit Blue Ridge Honey Company in Lakemont, Georgia to purchase honey direct from them. Suzanne Geddes of The Cumming Harvest will have butter and cheese from Meadow Valley Farm if you are interested in purchasing these products.

I will e-mail you when the honey comes in as it will be here sooner than the syrup. Please make arrangements to pick it up on the dates specified in that e-mail. Same for the syrup.

Blessings,
Mary Beth

Important information and Final call for milk.

Hi everyone, there seems to be some confusion regarding the milk. I spoke to Lisa at Cherokee Market and to Sam at Cedar Rock Dairy and this is what I am to share with all of you.

First, milk delivery will be on Tuesday at 11am. you can pick up your milk anytime after that barring any unforeseen holdups. If you want grass fed beef or lamb from them, text them what you need and they will send it up with the milk. His prices are comparable to what you have been paying here, maybe a dollar or so cheaper per pound. He will text you your total and y’all can figure out payment options. Text Sam your milk orders(770-490-5190) before 3:00pm on Monday. You can have a standing order or change it every week, he does not mind either way.

Secondly, the winter hours for Cherokee Market are 10-6. There are plenty of wonderful things to purchase there, many you are familiar with as they were offered on our market so I hope you will support her store and make suggestions as to what you may want her to carry.

Third, I will be closing the e-mail account Marybeth@pasturedmeats.com. If you want to stay in touch, please use thesellars@windstream.net. Send me an e-mail if you want to stay informed regarding butter, honey or maple syrup orders.

Blessings to each of you and thank you!
Mary Beth Sellars

Blessings to all

Don't forget to place your orders before 8:00 tonight.

Welcome to the rain and beautiful colors of fall. I hope everyone was able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. We look forward to the wonderful vegetables and fruits of the season.
Please remember to place your orders before we close at 8:00 tonight. Bring your jars as usual and I will ge them to the Cherokee Market for next week.
Lisa will have 2 coolers on the side porch for the milk and several boxes for your empty jars. Please make sure you text Sam this week and confirm your standing order with him. If you need to place an order or change an existing order, you will need to text him. Other than that, he will be sending your standing order weekly. The milk will be there by mid afternoon on Tuesdays so you can pick it up then if that is more convenient or on Wednesdays as you have been doing.
Blessings to all and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.

The market is open for ordering.

Good morning to all!
What a glorious week we have had with this beautiful weather. I can’t wait to get out and play in it today. I hope you have plans to be out this weekend and soak up the rays.

We are wrapping up most everything on the farm this coming week. We processed the last of the pigs and the freezer is stuffed with all kinds of goodness. We have chorizo sausage, Italian sausage, spare ribs, boneless pork chops, bacon and more. We also have more Tenderloin Roasts for your holiday needs. We will be keeping Cherokee Market stocked with our pork after this market closes so you can get your pasture raised pork fix when you get your milk.

Speaking of milk, if you are not going to make the move to Cherokee Market, Sam can bring your jars this week for you to pick up on Wednesday. If you do not want your jars, he will buy them from you. If you are continuing to order milk from Cedar Rock Dairy, bring your jars as usual this week and I will move them to Cherokee Market for pick-up on Tuesday. The milk will be delivered on Tuesdays, usually by early afternoon. I will give you all the details on picking up milk and dropping off jars, on Monday.

Thank you for supporting your local farmers and artisans.
