Market News

Good Morning!

We have a new vendor this week. Welcome From Mimi’s Mountain Home to The Cumming Harvest.
Here is their description…"Everything we sell as homemade is truly homemade, right here on the north side of Atlanta! Our products are NOT purchased from a factory and repackaged to be “homemade”. All of our recipes are passed down from my grandmother, “Mimi” (and her mother too!). Some are quick to make, and some take days to make, but Mimi always said that patience makes perfect!

All of our products are 100% Natural, No man made Colors or Scents! We use natural coloring and essential oils!

If you have any questions/comments/concerns or just want to talk, let us know at imtellingmimi@fmmhome.com

I’ve also added a Amestoy Farm as a new grower. He’s just starting out but once he’s ready he’ll be growing many different varieties of vegetables, some herbs, berries, fruits and also have a limited amount of pastured eggs. Some of the techniques he practices are cover cropping, crop rotation, composting. I grow without using any synthetic herbicides or pesticides. Amestoy Farm is also Certified Naturally Grown.

Is there any items you’d like to see added to the market? Or if you know of another vendor at another market that you would like to see sell at The Cumming Harvest, I can see if they’d make a good fit with our market. Let me know.

GREEN PASTURE
The Cod Liver Oil and Coconut oil is in and I will have it at the market on Saturday. If you placed an order, please come by the market to pick up your order this Saturday. Send me an email if you have questions, thecummingharvest@live.com.

LOCATION & PICK-UP
Building 106, Colony Park Dr. in the Basement of Suite 100, Cumming, GA 30040. Pick up every Saturday between 10-12pm.
