The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - February 25, 2015
Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon
The Cumming Harvest sells sustainably fished Sockeye Salmon direct to you from Bristol Bay, Alaska….
We get our Salmon from Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon, which is family owned and operated with three generations of Alaskan fisherman spanning a 30 year period….
Based in South Carolina, Doug’s Wild Alaska Salmon makes fresh-frozen salmon available locally in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.
Being the fisherman, we can provide you with the highest quality flash-frozen wild salmon. Dougswild is owned and operated by the Resetarits family, Grandpa Dan is a South Carolina resident who flies north each summer to join the boys for the harvest. Dad Doug, a part time Carolinian, is a 30 year Homer, Alaska native, a licensed Coast Guard captain and former Bering Sea crabber of “Deadliest Catch” fame. All four boy’s began fishing salmon with Dad when they were 10, and together operate four, 32 foot fishing boats during June and July. Bristol Bay is the largest wild “red salmon” or sockeye salmon fishery in the world. Certified sustainable, natural, and robust, the Alaska salmon fisheries are known worldwide as a model of successful fisheries management and economic prosperity.
As the fishermen, we are blessed to experience the beauty of Alaska during the renowned Bristol Bay fishing season, to participate in the native culture, and to work long hours side-by-side. Demand continues to increase for wild salmon and omega 3 rich diets, we are proud to make our fish available.
Sincerely,
The Resetarits Family

Champaign, OH: It Ain't Over Til It's Over
‘Cause Baby it ain’t over ‘til it’s over…
(Lenny Kravitz – It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over)
I have been in a total old school Lenny Kravitz mood, lately…such a swoon worthy voice. I dug out my, Mama Said cd, the other day, and hello….soulful from way down.
Just like this little local market of love that is filled with so much soul, so much love, so much local goodness…we bring it, old school, from the days when eating was all about real food, local food, seasonal food.
With this bitter cold front, I know it’s easy to say that you don’t want to have to fight the cold to come out and pick up your market orders, so you end up not ordering. Then, you are sad. And, we are sad.
If you think about it…wouldn’t it make more sense to curl up to a computer, smart device, grab coffee, tea, wine, whatever your drink choice may be, and place a week’s worth of grocery shopping from the comfort of where you are? It’s warm, it’s cozy, we have so many options for you to try, and you are not warming up your car, driving to the store, fighting the bitter cold and crowds, and then getting food that is not local or seasonal?
Who else gives you the local love? Who else wants to see you, each week, just so we can show YOU some love? Yeah, not the big box stores.
Go ahead…get comfy, place your orders, and all you need to do is come to one stop to pick it all up. One stop for a local shop! Try it…we promise you will like it…
We close, tonight, at 10pm….you have two hours, and baby, it ain’t over til it’s over…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
ALFN Local Food Club: Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
Maybe I’m bias, but I think Food Club is pretty darn great. Since you’re reading this, I can only assume you feel the same way. We here at ALFN want to keep Food Club up and running, maybe even thriving, for years and years to come. As you may have heard, we’re making a few long-overdue changes to ensure that everyone can continue to shop for healthy, delicious, Arkansas products for years to come.
What’s in Store:
- Beginning Saturday, March 7th in addition to being able to pay via credit or debit card through our website, you will also be able to pay by card when you pick up your order. If you do not have a form of payment, your order can not go home with you. To receive your food, you can come back during Food Club with a form of payment, pick your order up on Monday, or we’ll hold on to it one full week for an additional $10 fee. Though it may not seem like much, we can no longer bear the administrative costs of tracking IOUs.
- Beginning Monday, March 9th the Monday pickup will be 5:00-6:00pm. In order to help cover our costs, all orders picked up on Monday will be charged a $2.50 convenience fee.
If you have questions or concerns about any of these changes, please contact us by replying to this email, or calling (501)291-2769. We only exist because of the continued support of our members and want to make sure that this wonderful Food Club has its best days ahead!
In Other Change-Related News:
It may not feel like it right now, but spring will eventually come (Right? Right?) and we want you to be prepared. So take a look at the Plants, Flowers, & Seeds section of The Market, where sprouts and starts are slowly trickling in. The weather may have your indoor seedling space heavily populated, but there’s always room for a few purple cauliflower plants and an exotic citrus tree or two.
Note for February 28th:
This Saturday, the Little Rockers Kids Marathon will run from East Capitol & Scott Street to President Clinton Avenue & Sherman Street. This will not directly hinder Food Club, but please drive carefully and watch for small pedestrians. If you would prefer to switch to Monday pickup, just reply to this weblog and let us know.
