Back in business, making new friends.

Hey y’all,
We have things more or less in order to get started at the Bar Durham next week! Orders are due by Monday at 12pm. Pickup is happy hour (4:30-7pm) at the Bar Durham.
Place orders here: link.
New at market (and newly returned vendors)
The Cultured Cow is back! We’re really excited to have a new agreement with them that will allow them to deliver larger orders every other week and guarantee we’ll have some on hand to fill your orders. The Cultured Cow is run by Rabbi Sholom Estrin, who follows Orthodox Jewish rites (yes, the cheese is kosher!). Learn more about the farm and see awesome pictures at my friend Kristen Baughman’s blog: link.
Cypress and Myrtle is back in business after a few weeks off in August. Check out their awesome bread and hummus.
Wild Dog Farm is also back in town bringing in eggs and all sorts of veggie goodness.
If you want bulk goods get your order in early! I’ll be making a trip to the Grain Mill first thing Monday morning to pick up a mini stockpile of wheat (hard & soft), oats and probably millet and some other things. If you have ANY grain you’d like me to pick up for you, let me know by email if it’s not on goMarket. Check out the Grain Mill’s website for products that are available and I can pick stuff up for you: grainmill.coop.
In other news:
We’re in talks with a few new vendors to get more veggies and some specialty products and foods (I can’t tell you more yet, but it’s a very exciting prospect!)

The Paradise Garden is an art installation that will feature work by our flower arrangement specialist Lee Attracting Birds and Bees as well as woodwork by Maryah from Homegrown City Farm.
