This Week at The Cumming Harvest
THIS WEEK
It’s a busy, busy time of year but don’t let that distract you from purchasing healthy local food our farmers have available. This is a great time of year to stock up and preserve by canning or dehydrating all the wonderful produce we have coming in. Fall is one of our more fruitful seasons and you’ll see an abundance through to December.

CANE CREEK FARM ANNOUNCES FALL CSA
Local, Seasonal Food Picked Up Weekly from Family-Owned Farm
CUMMING, GA (August 1, 2016) – Cane Creek Farm, located in the western part of Forsyth County near Cumming, sits on almost eighteen acres along Cane Creek. The farm has four acres in cultivation with fields of vegetables and flowers, orchard and fruit trees, berries, pastures of sheep, cows and chickens, and over 200 shitake mushroom logs. The farm is managed using organic practices to produce clean, nutritious produce for the community.
Cane Creek Farm’s fall CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) begins the week of August 10 and extends for 12 weeks, with pick-up at the farm on Wednesdays or Saturdays or at Johns Creek Yoga on Tuesdays. Sign up continues beyond the week of August 10 and extends for 12 weeks from the date of registration.
“A CSA is a way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from farmers,” says Cane Creek Farm Owner Lynn Pugh. “Our CSA includes a weekly harvest of seasonal produce including fruits, vegetables and pick-your-own herbs and flowers. Fall is my favorite CSA season!”
Medium and large CSA shares are available. Members also receive a weekly electronic newsletter with farm happenings, weekly share items, recipes and nutrition tips.
Fall shares include okra, eggplant, a variety of peppers, peas, beans, pumpkins, carrots, tomatillos, edamame, sweet potatoes, malabar spinach, squash, muscadine grapes, lettuces, Asian greens, kale, pac choi, radishes, collards, beets and broccoli. Herbs include rosemary, chocolate mint, marjoram, basil, oregano, tarragon and savory.
“The CSA program at Cane Creek Farm has been amazing experience,” says Cumming resident Angie Platten. “My kids and I enjoy going to the farm each week to pick up our vegetables, and we sometimes volunteer to enjoy the peaceful environment and learn more about where food comes. We feel good about supporting local agriculture and eating new and healthy foods.”
To register for Cane Creek’s fall CSA, visit the farm’s website at www.canecreekfarm.net. The cost for the 12-week share is $445 for the large share and $325 for the medium share.
