Milk Kefir
We make milk kefir at Rancho Alegre Farm and we also have kefir grains available if you’d like to make your own! Just shoot me an e-mail for prices and availability!
Milk kefir grains are live active cultures consisting of yeast and bacteria existing in a symbiotic relationship. Adding the kefir grains to fresh milk yields a delicious probiotic drink in about 24 hours. The term “kefir grains” describes the look of the culture only, which resembles cauliflower. Kefir grains contain no actual “grains” such as wheat, rye, etc. Milk kefir can be enjoyed plain, flavored, or used in many recipes, like salad dressing, bread, and ice cream.
We also have SUPER fun and informative workshops available, so don’t miss out!
The Market is open Thursday at 9am – Monday at noon.
After Monday at noon, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning.
Pick up your order Tuesday from 4-7pm only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here.
Don’t forget to follow us on facebook and on instagram @gwinnettlocallygrown for discount codes and promotions!

Your Account
FREE MEMBERSHIP You can now waive your membership fee of $25 just by signing up to volunteer one full Saturday morning, 8:30am-12:30pm. It’s fun and rewarding to experience “behind the scenes” of our locally grown market. Volunteers greet farmers and customers, organize food delivery and pick up, and check-out customer orders using a ipad. Check out this online sign up sheet to find an opening. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4baca92fa13-thecumming
UPDATE CONTACT With all the hustle and bustle of back-to-school and new routines, it’s easy to forget things like picking up your TCH order. Remember that we can’t keep your items past 12pm, and we’ll try contacting you any way we know how to make sure you get what you ordered. Now’s a great time to check the phone number on your account to make sure it’s a number I can reach you at 11:45am on a Saturday. I start calling everyone who hasn’t picked up yet then, and will keep trying to reach you until 12pm, when we have to pack it all up. I hate seeing people’s food go somewhere else, and having a good phone number on your account is the best way to keep that from happening.
Main Market Location and Pick Up
Building 106, Colony Park Dr. in the Basement of Suite 100, Cumming, GA 30040. Pick up every Saturday between 10-12pm.

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder
Remember to get your order finalized in the market before Wednesday at noon!
The cold snap with overcast skies have me hankering for nutmeg, cloves, gourds and cider. We have some beautiful, fresh products in the market right now. Make sure you check out the featured selection for new entries.
Testimony to Freshness
Can I get a witness? Here’s one. My second grader loves peeled, raw turnips. However, he tells me they only taste good when they are freshly pulled out of the ground. His description of a raw turnip included adjectives such as “juicy” and “sweet.”
From coffee roasted on Thursday, to root crops with the aura of their humus home, ALFN has a market of growers with fresh ingredients. They are meant to be eaten now.
Be Fresh,
Kyle Holton

Champaign, OH: Cosmic Shop Tour!
Good evening, little local market of love customers!!
As you know, we very often promote our farm tours of our vendors, special offers, special events.
Now, it’s your market manager’s turn to host a tour. In my shop. Right in downtown Urbana!
In case you didn’t know, I have my Cosmic shop right in the square, on Scioto Street. This weekend, is the downtown’s annual Holiday Open House. This means that the downtown will have extended shopping days, holiday fun in each shop, the eateries will all be open, late, and most every business will also be open on Sunday!
And, let me stop, here, to give a bit of background, and, or a day in the life of your market manager.
I am the owner/baker of Cosmic Charlie Bread. I have entered into my 7th season as Cosmic Charlie. Along with this business, I rock another business which is named, Girl With Far Away Eyes. This is my fashion side of things that offers a mix of vintage, retro, and hippie inspired clothing. I have had my clothing shop for over 5 years. I got my start as a little pop up fashion shop, all around downtown Urbana.
In the midst of building both of my businesses, I became involved in downtown activities which led to my seat on the board of Monument Square District. In the beginning, I was a board member, then I stepped up to the executive secretary position.
My term with that position came to an end but I remain on the board. I am now a co-chairperson of Art Affair On The Square, chairperson of Santa Land/Santa’s Homecoming, promotions coordinator for Holiday Open House, AND, I serve as one of the chairs of the Christmas Gala. I am in charge of the cocktails and bar part of that evening’s event.
And, you already know me as your market manager, here, but I also am the market manager of the Mechanicsburg Farmers and Artisans market, and serve as a member on the Local Foods Council. I also bake breads for area restaurants such as The Depot Coffeehouse, Café Paradiso, Mad River Farm Market, and Seasons Bistro and Grille, in downtown Springfield.
I am a full season vendor at the Springfield Farmer’s Market, and the first Cosmic shop was housed in downtown Springfield.
Now that you have that background, I am happy to announce that I am finally getting around to having a ribbon cutting/open house/grand tour/First Friday Coffee Hour of my shop. The Cosmic Breads and Threads shop where I house both of my businesses!!
The fun begins at 7:30am, Friday, November 6th, for the coffee hour. Then, join me, for my ribbon cutting of the Cosmic tie-dye ribbon at 9am!! After that, it will be an entire weekend of fun as we kick off the downtown Holiday Open House!!
In the Cosmic shop, you will also find products from other local vendors, from this market, such as Oakview Farm Meats, Swisher Hill Herbs, ELM Tree Essentials, Valley View Woodlands, Champaign Berry Farm, Honey Boy Honey, JC Growers and Bad Seed Mustard!!
Food will be available from local meat producer, Oakview Farm Meats, in conjunction with Cosmic Charlie!
There will be shopping, cocktails, vintage and hippie clothing, a live performance by Jamie Karg as he brings his guitar, and music, Friday evening, and surprise models…you will need to look to see if you can find them…
It’s going to be real good time, it’s the biggest shopping event of the season, right downtown, in your own hometown!
I invite all you to come out, come to the ribbon cutting, or come at some point, during the weekend…
I urge you to make the scene…
And, with that, I remind you that there is just a little over an hour left to order from the market, tonight. I will close it all down at 10pm…go, order, get your weekly shopping done.
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

YOU CAN ALSO ORDER JUST A HALF POUND JAR WHICH IS THE WAY IT’S OFFERED ON THE WEBSITE.
There’s still some spinach, bok choy, arugula and kale.
Let me know if you have any questions about the bulk order or anything else.
