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.
COMMENTS
When placing an order online there are two places to leave a comment. To comment to the Grower, add a comment to the small box next to each of your items in the cart. There is also a larger comment box at the end of your orders which shows up on our final packing sheet seen by me. Of course, you may also email either myself or the grower if you have any questions.
