The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - October 29, 2014
Market News
Welcome Back
Please welcome Heirloom Gardens to our market. Paula Guilbeau has been a vendor with The Cumming Harvest since we opened in 2010. She sells at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market and the Dunwoody Market during market season, then with us November through April. Heirloom Gardens is located in the beautiful historic town of Dahlonega,known as the “heart” of the North Georgia Mountains. She produces naturally grown food year round using mainly unheated hoop houses. She grows a large variety of heirloom tomatoes and vegetables, salad greens and premium cut flowers without the use of any synthetic fertilizers or chemicals. During the spring months we also offer over 25 varieties of potted heirloom tomatoes, herbs, and a large assortment of perennials. Our heirloom tomatoes and premium cut flowers are directly marketed to local restaurants and Wholesale Florist-and we welcome flower orders for special events on a pre-order basis.
I’m sure you’ll be able to meet Paula at our market this winter.
This past Friday was “National Food Day” and I had the pleasure of organizing a local food sampling at Coal Mountain Elem. To celebrate the day I decided it would be nice to bring in a local farmer. I called Lynn Pugh of Cane Creek Farm and she agreed to visit as our Farmer of the Day and to harvest sweet potatoes for the school. I picked up the harvest, delivered them to the school and the school prepared sweet potato fries for the kids to sample. Lynn spoke to the kids and told them about herself, the farm and about the sweet potatoes. When asked how they liked them, the kids gave an enthusiastic cheer! The spirit was very positive.

New Field Farm's Online Market: BULK ORDER NEXT WEEK NOV.7
Greetings,
*THE ANNUAL BULK ORDER WILL BE FRIDAY NOV. 7.
THERE WILL BE NO ORDER THIS WEEK.
The heavy rains last week prevented our planting garlic so it has to happen in the next couple of days. This leaves no time to put together the bulk order this week.
After planting I’m going away Friday and will be back next Tuesday Nov.4. I’ll update the site then and email details about the bulk order.
I apologize for any inconvenience the delay may cause.
Thanks,
Tim
Champaign, OH: Tuesday's Gone
Tuesday’s gone with the wind…
I tell you, Tuesday’s gone, oh she’s gone with the wind…
(Lynyrd Skynyrd – Tuesday’s Gone)
Yes…Tuesday is just about gone for this week, for this market…so, if you have yet to order, you have until 10pm. Please think about what you may need, and how we can make your life easier AND about how you can easily eat entirely locally, just by using our little market of love…
At this point in the season, the month, I am always drawn back to a point in time, in the very late fall, when I was in high school, and we would all travel out to field parties or park parties or parties in the woods. When lines of cars would travel out to the middle of nowhere and as each car would park, and unload passengers, and stereos or a lot of times even a band because yes, in our big circle of people, we had our own house band of sorts, the fun would begin. The local kids having local fun.
The band was a legend at our high school. In fact, they still gather, at special times to perform. They would perform at dances, parties, there was even a time when downtown buildings, in our town, would rent to them. Epic.
Anyway, at one such outside party, I remember a house deck, the band, and a dedication to your’s truly, with this song. We listened to a lot of Lynyrd Skynyrd, loved the fall season, celebrated the last of the warm evenings before the season would disappear, and basically, just loved what our local surroundings were, back then.
In our own way, we were the local faces of our West End, of our favorite hang out spots, of our town. We were proud of where we came from, of our growing up, and of each other. We had a brotherhood/sisterhood of local love.
I bring with me, now, to this little local market, that same pride, that same local awareness, the same pride in watching this market grow up.
We are here for you, we celebrate you, and we celebrate all that we take from our local surroundings…
We are open until 10pm, talk to me, order, do it all before Tuesday, is in fact, gone…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
ALFN Local Food Club: Weblog Entry
Each and every year, the crispness of autumn air ushers in a whirlwind of awesome events. As a Food Club member, you’re already ahead of the game in streamlining the “must do’s” to maximize time for the “want to’s.” Order all you can eat from The Market, and you can grab all the great food you need for the week in one efficient stop. That leaves plenty of time for:
- Boo & Brew at The Rep. Wednesday at 6:00PM enjoy a pizza and beer reception before settling in for a thrilling production of Wait Until Dark!
- Central Arkansas New Agrarian Society’s Fall Mixer. This Thursday evening head to Good Food by Ferneau and enjoy tasty local food, mingle with like-minded folks, and learn more about all the great things CANAS has been up to.
- The 7th Annual B Street Rib Off is happening this Saturday at Argenta Plaza. Indulge in some friendly competition, or just sit back and enjoy the spoils.
And if all that doesn’t leave you in a post-event stupor, you’ll have a few days to perfect that secret family recipe for The Arkansas Cornbread Festival. Whether you’re in it to win it or simply there for the samples, you won’t want to miss this spectacularly southern celebration of all things maize.
It’s true. There really is no better time than fall to be in Arkansas. Just like there’s no better time than now to order from The Market.

Champaign, OH: Groovy Tuesday!
Hello, lovely local market customers!
My day started extra early, today, with a very long 8am meeting, followed by bread deliveries, and then finally, my shop!
All I have for you, at this point, is to get your groove on, get your orders in, and make it a happenin’ Groovy Tuesday!
Think about your needs, think about all of the fall dishes you are wanting to prepare. Think of the herbs, spices, late season produce, cuts of meat, eggs, dairy, breads, assorted fish…jams and mustards to accompany all of this, along with a type of maple syrup, honey, or sorghum!
Don’t forget the teas, coffees, granola, baked goods, and flour, for morning or all day needs.
Let us help make you groovy!
But, to be groovy, you need to order!
Make me happy!
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
