A NOTE ABOUT PEACHES – Organic peaches do not have any synthetic fungicide or petroleum-based wax to extend their naturally short shelf-life. We deliver them slightly firm, and they soften extremely quickly, so prepare to eat or process them within about two days of delivery.

VENDOR OF THE DAY

VENDOR OF THE DAY – Keena’s Kake Designs – All natural Sweet Snacks

Join us this Saturday to welcome a new vendor to our market and sample some delicious treats….KKD makes all natural sweet snacks that are free of any artificial additives and made with organic sugar and non-GMO ingredients.

Keena’s Kake Designs was born from a love of making delicious, custom baked goods for my family and friends at an affordable price. It also evolved from my desire to provide my family with high quality natural and organic foods; come to find out, it’s not always easy to find sweets that do not contain artificial colors, preservatives and other additives. So, Fudgeez and Blondeez will always be all-natural, non-GMO, and made with organic cacao! We’re a snack company with integrity: if I wouldn’t feed it to my family, I won’t feed it to yours!

GROUP BUYS

As a Cumming Harvest member you get to take advantage of our group buys….products offered to you at a discounted price. One of our frequent group buys is Cod Liver oil. We get our CLO from Green Pastures, a company who is recommended by the Weston Price Foundation.

If you have shied away from CLO in the past because of the unpleasant taste give Green Pastures a try. They have done a great job of disguising the taste of CLO, with many flavors to choose from like cinnamon, chocolate and mint. Plus you would be taking advantage of the many, many benefits…too many to name all here, but here are some highlights….

Benefits of COD LIVER OIL

Cod liver oil greatly improves heart function to prevent heart disease. Weston Price noted that heart attack deaths increased during periods when the vitamin A content of the diet was low. Cod liver oil can provide vitamin A on a continuous basis throughout the year. Cod liver oil has lowered blood pressure induced by stress-elevated levels of cortisol. Vitamin D in cod liver oil promotes absorption of calcium and magnesium, thereby lowering blood pressure.

In numerous studies, omega-3 fats found in cod liver oil have been shown to improve brain function, memory, stress response, immune response, allergies, asthma, learning and behavioral disorders, including bipolar syndrome and manic-depression.

Cod liver oil is most famous for contributing to bone health, Osteoporosis responds to vitamin D and to cod liver oil. Cod liver oil is effective in treating arthritis as well reducing both pain and damage in inflamed joints. Topically applied, cod liver oil contributes to faster wound healing and improvement in skin quality. An excellent treatment for diaper rash and other skin conditions is cod liver oil mixed with zinc oxide. And cod liver oil taken orally helps maintain soft skin and minimize wrinkles.

And what about cancer? All the nutrients in cod liver oil help prevent cancer. Vitamin A has been part of every successful alternative cancer therapy so far. In a study of Norwegian men and women, consumption of cod liver oil was found to protect against lung cancer.

Evidence is accumulating that these diseases of civilization are the result of high levels of omega-6 fatty acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids along with deficiencies of fat-soluble vitamins. We may be paying a very high price for our rejection of parental wisdom to take our cod liver oil.

Watsonia Farms

STRAWBERRIES!!
If you missed it last week, you’re in luck, we have lots more strawberries this week! It looks to be a good year for strawberries so take advantage of this opportunity to buy local, organic/CNG berries and stock up. Strawberries freeze well and can be used in fruit smoothies and to sweeten up green drinks. The green tops are edible so no need to remove them before freezing – just wash, let dry and freeze.

Our growers here in Cumming, M.J. Fruit & Veg and BeeBerry Farms are both offering fresh, local strawberries this week. They are offering 1/2 pounds and pints.

Mary Toombs of M.J. Fruit & Veg invite you to visit the farm, she has strawberries and produce for sale at her farm stand throughout the summer. They are located at 5205 Shadburn Rd., Cumming, GA, right off of 400. We’re open when my signs are up. If I’m not out front reading a book or waving, I’m in the garden. Honk if you can’t find me.

And from South Carolina, strawberries from Watsonia farms. Watsonia is a larger, organic producer. They are offering berries by the quart and by the gallon. The more you buy the more you save.

Try this yummy smoothie:
2 cups strawberries
2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut Kefir or plain yogurt (optional)
1 cup ice
1 T flax or chia seed
2 T walnuts
Blend together in high powered blender for 1 to 2 minutes.

RAW Milk – Heritage farms is now offering 1/2 gallons of raw milk for $5 (for pet consumption)
Cultured Traditions has Sauerkraut on sale this week…

Weedy Soil Farm

Getting to know your farmer….


Hello, my name is Lois Dewey, and it turns out that if you rearrange the letters in my name you get Weedy Soil. I’ve known about that for a while, so when it came time to pick a name for my new farm, I just had to use it. I am now in my fourth year of farming, though I have been an organic gardener for as long as I can remember. It’s just the way it’s always been done!

Weedy Soil Farm is Certified Naturally Grown. Certified Naturally Grown (CNG) is an alternative to the USDA organic certification. The same rules and standards are required, in fact sometimes there are additional restrictions. Instead of relying on a government-sanctioned certifier, CNG uses a method of farmers inspecting other farmers. We each understand the importance of maintaining the reputation of the certification and work hard to ensure compliance. The USDA certification is geared toward large farms and requires too much paperwork and expense for a small farm to handle.

Locally grown food is better for a variety of reasons. The biggest reason is it tastes better because of its freshness. Food grown at Weedy Soil Farm will generally be available the day after it is harvested. Second in importance (to me anyway) is the reduced environmental impact. Buying food from Weedy Soil Farm means minimal packaging and far less fossil fuel burned to deliver it to you.

I work hard to produce the best, freshest, tasty vegetables available. I have a passion for the environment and protecting nature. I hope it shows in my produce.

Look for Lois’s delicious produce on the Cumming Harvest website under “Vegetables” and “fruits”.

Specials this week:

My Daily bread has several items on sale this week…
Chocolate Zucchini Bread – rich dark chocolate bread with bittersweet chocolate bits on top.
Hot Pepper Peach cheese logs – organic cream cheese mixed with our organic sweet & hot peppers and sweet vidalia onion, rolled in crushed pecans. Perfect for Mother’s day brunch.
Buffalo Blue Cheese Dip – “HOT” combo of organic cream cheese, peppers, shredded sharp cheddar, blue cheese, and spices. Great with dipping veggies, on wings, or with tortilla chips.
Beer Buzzed dip – organic cream cheese, sharp cheddar mixed with herbs and a robust Lager.
Look for these sale items under the “Weekly Specials” on the website.
