The Cumming Harvest - This Week


Market News

THANK YOU! We would like to thank Nick Tanner of Cherry Street Brewery for their generous donation to the market. Back in March they hosted us at their Last Tuesday Beer Bash event and raised money from that nights sales. We really appreciate the support from Rick Tanner’s and Cherry Street Brewery!

UPDATE CONTACT With all the hustle and bustle of back-to-school and new routines, it’s easy to forget things like picking up your TCH order. Remember that we can’t keep your items past 12pm, and we’ll try contacting you any way we know how to make sure you get what you ordered. Now’s a great time to check the phone number on your account to make sure it’s a number I can reach you at 11:45am on a Saturday. I start calling everyone who hasn’t picked up yet then, and will keep trying to reach you until 12pm, when we have to pack it all up. I hate seeing people’s food go somewhere else, and having a good phone number on your account is the best way to keep that from happening.

DELIVERY – We are postponing Vickery pick up and delivery in September so that Pascale can take some much needed time off to celebrate her and her husbands birthday’s and anniversary. If you see her this week, you can pass on good wishes and we’ll resume October 3rd.

My kitchen is not very pretty (needs some serious updating) but many of you have asked for a peak inside my refrigerator and pantry to see what a Weston A. Price kitchen looks like. I will share with you my personal list of pantry staples, talk about where I buy them, and show you which tools/appliances I use most.
