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.

New Field Farm's Online Market: GINGER, and a mighty freeze
Greetings,
The temperature here Monday morning was around 19 degrees and that brought an end to the parsley and chard. Other crops in the field had multiple row covers and tarps laid over them and came through okay. We harvested that day for our Tuesday market and Meridian and Madeleine carried on with cold hands and good humor.
IF YOU ORDERED GINGER DON’T FORGET TO PICK IT UP EVEN IF YOU DON’T PUT IN A REGULAR ORDER.
The beets are now sold by the pound. The garlic is getting smaller, but is still visible to the naked eye. There are still a few cabbages and the lettuce from the hoophouse is still nice.
The annual BULK ORDER will be the first week of November.
Thank you for your orders.

Champaign, OH: Showing Some Love
It’s Tuesday!! It’s show us some love day!! AKA…we close the market at 10pm, tonight, and we want to feel the love!!
The week has been a crazy weather week, both cold, dreary, sunny, and warm. It’s confusing to know how to dress, how to plan, and what to eat.
We have the part about what to eat, totally covered!! We have a large market selection to meet all of your needs!!
Everything we offer can lean towards the lighter fare you may want on the warm sunny days, AND, we have more comfort items on the cold dreary days when you need warmth, and fuel for your soul.
Go, take a look, remember that you can do all of your weekly shopping, right here, right now. When you shop with us, you keep it local, you keep it real, you keep it nutritious…
I will see you at 10pm…go on, show us some love…
Peace, Love, Good Vibes…

ALFN Local Food Club: Market Reminder & News
Greetings ALFN members!
The market will be open for another 24 hours before I close and send all orders to our growers. Seize the opportunity and order.
Updates/News
1. The CANAS fundraiser at White Water Tavern has been cancelled due to booking problems. Stay tuned for an update on a new time.
2. I corresponded with Kent Walker this week and got the skinny on what is new. Kent’s cheese cave is full of cheese wheels. Air control is important in the aging of cheese and with more cheese in the cave, the air regulation has stabilized creating creamier cheeses. Kent also has new flights you can taste in his tasting room. Here is a list:
- House Flight: All our cheeses
- Fromage Blanc: Everything but cow cheese. Find all your Goat, Sheep, and Buffalo cheeses here.
- The Orange Door: 4 – 5 different Types of Cheddar. Great beginner plate
- Green Dragon: Stinky cheeses galore! Blues, Washed rinds, and soft ripened
- The Monger: Cheese monger’s selection. Changes daily. Expect wild, fun creations here!
If you are interested in making a visit to the tasting room, check out their website for more information: http://www.kentwalkercheese.com/
3. For clarification, our recent change in monthly membership fees applies to all monthly payments from 1-11 months. Consequently, monthly membership fees are $7.50 unless a year is paid in full. Then, the charge is $60. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Cheers!
