MARKET NEWS
*We have the opportunity to get fresh frozen Sockeye salmon which is the best of all salmon as a pre-buy in June. This salmon is picked out of the nets of the Alaskan fishing boats before they are put in the holding area below deck and they take these salmon straight to the processor who filet them and flash freeze them! They are shipped to Georgia and all this happens within 2 days! You cannot get fresher than that!
If you are interested in buying salmon which is only available during their season in end of June and month of July. The word is that packages will be about 8 ounces to a pound and sell between $16 to $18 a pound. They will know more as it gets closer. I have a list of those already interested! If you are interested in participing in the pre-buy, please email me at grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com! This is through one of our Growers!_
We are still working on workshops for June and I will let you know about those very soon!
_As Always….
_Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods!

Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living. *_

Dear All:
For the past year, we were fortunate to have 2 wonderful ladies assisting Sarah with the unloading of her vehicle and the set up of Market at Hamilton Mill.
Karen and her family have moved and are no longer close to our Market location. In addition, Sara Heath is having trouble with her back and can no longer help with the unloading and setup.
We need you to help! Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susan Coker (a Member at the Lilburn Market) to get on the schedule! 678-232-8910 or bscoker@bellsouth.net
Once a month, every other week, every week? We are grateful for any time you can give us! Please help!

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder
Hey folks, make sure you remember to get your orders into ALFN’s market by noon tomorrow.
We have one update on food this week. Bluebird Hill Farm is doing inventory control work. Consequently, they will not have any beef available. Even if the listing states availability, beef won’t be sent this week. Don’t worry and cry out, “Where’s the beef ?” There are still many other choices in the market. Order with ease!
Peace
