Good Morning! Happy Thanksgiving!

Roast Turkey from Alton Brown
Bring on the Brine. This recipe says to start 2 days ahead but what the heck…go ahead and start it this morning if you want to. Myself and many customers agree that brining is the only way to cook a perfect pasture raised turkey.

How to cook a Perfect Turkey

HARVEST NEWS:

In November the Harvest provided samples of JavaGenesis Coffee and scones from our new vendor Seven Sisters Scones. The scones and coffee were a big hit, look for more samples and goodies in the coming months.

GIFT BASKETS – This year give a unique gift that celebrates local and healthy foods. Check out our gift baskets for sale when you come in on Saturday. Great for Holiday gift giving and Get Well baskets too.

This past Saturday the market hosted a Kombucha class where students learned to make Kombucha tea at home. If you are interested in making Kombucha but missed the class let us know and we’ll plan another class.

Did you know?

Don’t be fooled…ask for grass fed and grass finished beef.

Hopefully you already know that grass fed beef is a better choice.
In the US, the majority of conventionally raised cattle live the last several months of their lives on feed lots and are exclusively fed grain to fatten them up faster; that is when their nutritional value plummets. Cattle are not designed to eat grain, therefore they get sick and are given antibiotics to stay alive. It completely changes the nutritional makeup of the beef and this is why red meat has been considered unhealthy. Cattle raised on grass alone produce beef that is higher in vitamins, minerals, and omegas. It is also 4-6 times lower in fat and the fat that you are getting is good healthy fat. The cattle raised by Indian Creek Angus and Heritage Farm are never given antibiotics, hormones or steroids like feed lot cattle.

Benefits of 100% grass-fed beef
•Less total fat
•More heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids
•More conjugated linoleic acid, a type of fat that’s thought to reduce heart disease and cancer risks
•More antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin E

Grass finished beef
Many farmers will tell you that their cattle is grass fed but they also will feed their cows grain just before processing. Make sure you ask the right question, “Are your cows grass fed and grass finished?” The farmers that sell at The Cumming Harvest only sell 100% Grass fed and grass finished beef.

How do you cook grass fed beef?
The farmers say that since the meat is leaner you will want to cook it at a lower temp and for a longer time. Also, different cuts prefer a specific cooking method. If you have questions, we can help, just email us or the farmer for time tested recipes and techniques.

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.
