My Daily Bread Whole Grains Bakery
My Daily Bread Whole Grains Bakery is nestled in the North Georgia Mountains, and was founded by the Wills Family in 2001.
In an effort to eat a healthier diet, our family baked with whole grains for many years. In sharing with friends and also at Christian retreats where we served, people expressed a need for a whole grains bakery and My Daily Bread was created. It is our mission to help people with dietary restrictions to eat healthy, nutrient filled baked goods.
EVERY loaf of bread is made just as we make it for our own table.
All of our breads are made with freshly ground organic Non-GMO wheat that is not stripped of the valuable vitamins and fiber. We use local honey in all our yeast breads. We use no preservatives, dyes or artificial flavorings. Our jams and jellies are produced from pesticide free and organic produce, most of which, is grown on our own farm and picked at the peak of its flavor. We use only small amounts of pure cane sugar and also make a low sugar product for restricted diets.
My Daily Bread has Valentine’s Day covered for you with Rich Dark Chocolate Zucchini Bread made with organic zucchini, rich dark bittersweet chocolate and then made even richer with the addition of decadent German Chocolate Cacao chips. In 1 lb for great gift giving or the 1.5 pound for the table.
And for our Gluten sensitive customers, we have our Awesome Gluten-Free Brownies. They are so good, I like them BETTER than the regular ones! 8 generous brownies in each package.
ON SALE THIS WEEK FOR “MY DAILY BREAD”
Sourdough Loaf – sale price $ 6.50
Blackberry Jam – sale price $ 5.00
Our blackberry jam is made form blackberries grown on our farm that has had no pesticides for over 25 years. We pick the berries and make them in single batches like my Grandmother taught us. Less sugar makes the flavor the the berries the star!

Champaign, OH: Bright Side Of The Road
And time seems to go by so fast…
In the twinkling of an eye…
(Van Morrison – Bright Side Of The Road)
This morning, I was up super early, as always, having coffee in front of the dim light of my computer. I was busy making playlists for my new shop, working on a few emails, catching up on all social media. In those early hours, I have certain artists that I listen to while I work.
This Van Morrison song popped on, and my thoughts began to wander all over the place…mostly about time, and how fast it really does fly by. It’s happening all around me with the opening of my shop coming soon, the Cosmic Co-Ed quickly approaching her college graduation, and watching her excitement as she begins to plan her next journey and path.
I was thinking that we are on the brink of another yearly anniversary of this little market of love. I thought about how each year, we grow even bigger, adding more and more and gaining more and more strength.
Just as I was deep in thought, I received a 6am text from one of my best friends, old college roommate, sorority sister. We are of the same cloth…we have restless minds, free spirits, creative souls, so sleep tends to escape us when we are deep into new projects, new conquests, new ideas…
Her random text told me that no matter how quickly time really does fly, it also seems like it stands still for moments and people and projects, to remind us that it’s good to stop, think, reflect, and reconnect with the people who know your soul, know what you are about, and know what you need, right at the time you don’t even know what you need.
I like to think that this little market is that point of time that moves quickly, and yet, stands still….just for all of us. It’s the stability in this crazy, fast paced life. It offers us a piece of calm. The ability to order with ease, escape the crazy of the big box stores, keeps everything local, eases your stress load, and nourishes your soul with good food…
Take some time, today, to make time stand still…just reflect, regroup, and then turn to us to get you through the week…your soul will love you for it…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Market News
Hello!
It’s Monday evening, and we have lots of nice items still available for the week. Can you believe chocolate and cheese truffles from The Bloomy Rind? (or maybe it’s cheese and chocolate truffles – whatever. They’ve got to be good!)
We’ve also got lovely potted hyacinth plants for gifts, baguettes to go along with your cheese, and lots of nice meat options for Valentine’s Day dinner. There are some veggies left – just a few – but perhaps you can still snag SOMETHING green while you have the chance!
Also, Wednesday Tally will be bringing some lovely tulip bunches in pinks, red and apricot. There will be 10 stems for $8.00. Let her know if you’d like to reserve some.
As always, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, week of Feb 8 2015
Yes, you can wish me Happy Birthday, I am fully enjoying being a senior citizen! Just recently I was offered the seniors’ discount at the petfood store; what a bizarre moment of recognition.
I like to put content up here that has nothing, and everything, to do with local food, health and eating well. Sometimes it sounds like a soapbox tirade I suppose. But I wonder how many readers have gained an insight or felt challenged in their presumptions about how life is? Let me explain my motivation…
For example, “we” are currently wrangling about how much to devastate the Earth. That’s the long and short of it when it comes to fossil energy, climate upset and species extinction.
As Susan Solnit puts it in her essay, “Climate Change is (global-scale) Violence” against places and species, as well as against human beings. Once we call it by name, we can start having a real conversation about our priorities and values. Because the revolt against brutality begins with a revolt against the language that hides that brutality. http://www.truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/28933-climate-change-is-violence
In every arena, we need to look at industrial-scale and systemic violence, not just the hands-on violence of the less powerful. When it comes to climate change, this is particularly true. Exxon [and the other Alberta Tar Sands miners] has decided to bet that we can’t make the corporation keep its reserves in the ground, and the company is reassuring its investors that it will continue to profit off the rapid, violent, and intentional destruction of the Earth.
But what do we do, the locals? Well, we shop and patronize, invest and borrow, read and converse, etc. All this could be informed by a morality that prizes earth care. But we are all gamblers, with a fatal mental malfunction, we think we can dodge the bullet (win the lottery) next time because so far we have (or haven’t). In the end, the gambler’s fallacy is one of the factors that lead people, companies, and entire civilization to a rapid collapse. It is what Ugo Bardi has called the “Seneca Cliff” from the words of the ancient Roman philosopher who first noted how “the way to ruin is rapid”. In the case described here http://cassandralegacy.blogspot.it/2015/02/senecas-gamble-how-to-create-your-own.html, we might call it the “Seneca gamble” but, in all cases, it is a ruin that we create with our own hands.
This week we have root crops, especially carrots, wheat and spelt flour, garlic, meats, eggs and honey. I’m making a batch of beef bone broth for sale by the liter.
Healthy eating, and unstoppable caring,
Ian and Cami
