This Week at The Cumming Harvest
Market News
The other markets have now closed and all the growers that grow during the winter are excited to supply us with their produce. We are so happy to be able to operate this market for them. For many this is their full time job/love, so having a place to sell through the winter is very important to keep them going. We’ll be open this week and next week, but will be closed the week of Christmas, Dec. 21-26th.
Look online today for the beginnings of Holiday specials on prepared foods and bakery items.
KKD has listed several yummy treats and side dishes to get you ready for the holidays.
My Daily Bread is back this week with their popular baked loaf breads, chocolate zucchini bread and holiday organic pumpkin roll.
Heritage Farm has listed pork bacon ends and pieces at a really great price. Perfect to add to a pot of green beans or any green veggie if you don’t want to cook it up for crispy bacon.
Heritage Farm No milk this week. He said it would be about another 3-4 weeks till milk will be listed again on our market.
Other milk sources are…
Carlton Farm – pick up on Wednesday from 3:30-4:30pm at Chalcedon Church off Pilgrim Mill Road.
Don’s Farmers Market – off 141
I know there is so much more listed (over 600 products!) I just can’t name them all.
Your Account
FREE MEMBERSHIP You can now waive your membership fee of $25 just by signing up to volunteer one full Saturday morning, 8:30am-12:30pm. It’s fun and rewarding to experience “behind the scenes” of our locally grown market. Volunteers greet farmers and customers, organize food delivery and pick up, and check-out customer orders using a ipad. Check out this online sign up sheet to find an opening. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090d4baca92fa13-thecumming
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.
