Scientient Collective

We are pleased to welcome Sentient Collective the Cumming Harvest market…

Sentient Collective promotes social well-being and connectedness by facilitating and promoting the local food movement. By connecting people with fresh, local, sustainably grown food, they better their health while providing opportunities for farmers and gardeners of all sizes and scales. Knate and Sam are on a mission to steward as much green-space as possible for the production of clean local food.

From the spring of 2015 Sentient Collective has been stewarding the land many of you know as Beeberry Farms. Some of you lucky few may have had the opportunity to come out to the farm and meet Knate and Sam! Sentient Collective is now managing all commercial and agricultural operations on Beeberry Farms! We are excited to expand on the berries, herbs, eggs and honey that you know and love from Beeberry as well as share some of our new and continued offerings with you. For example, one of the things we are really excited about is our upcoming fall C.S.A. We are planting every week to expand our availability and C.S.A shares will be up on the market soon.

In addition, it is our passion to provide the community with the knowledge and equipment to grow their own food at home or on a community level. Sentient Collective consults with clients to assess their needs and vision, interests and desires, and provide the best option for their growing plot. From garden boxes, raised beds, greenhouses, hydroponic and aquaponics systems, seeds, starter plants and irrigation, thrive can connect you with all the resources you need to get started on a path to nutritious fulfilling food & an opportunity to make a community sustainability effort. Sentient Collective has several options for people wanting to get started making an individual or community choice to grow their own food. We encourage you to learn more about this at http://www.sentientcollective.org/#!thrive/cjg9

We thank you for your continued support and look forward to developing new relationships with all of you!
