Have you heard about Connie's Cornucopia yet?

Hi to all the people who supported Cumming Harvest Market!

One of our favorite farmers now has her own website to place online orders. Connie still sells her produce and bath products, and she picked up some of our former vendors as well.

Connie’s Cornucopia – Beyond organic, straight to your door.

A UNIQUE FARMER’S MARKET, ENTIRELY ONLINE

We are an online Farmer’s Market providing home/work delivery to select Zip Codes of North Georgia. Every week, we open our Online Market containing the freshest products from a carefully curated selection of local Growers and Artisans. You get access to the entire range of products and can order exactly what you want, in the amounts you want, without minimum orders. We accept online payments via debit and credit cards, there is no need to worry about going to the bank, fiddling with exact change, or not having any cash. Your order is harvested, packed, and delivered to your front door.

HOW CONNIE’S CORNUCOPIA WORKS

• Our approved Farmers use the market page to list what they predict will be ready for harvest that week.
• Mondays at about 1:00 PM, we send out an email to announce that the market is open. The market remains open for orders until Wednesday at 3:00 PM.
• Our Farmers/Artisans pick, pack, and deliver to us on Thursday or Friday.
• We then sort your order and process it for delivery. Once we verify the contents of your order, we will charge your card for the total.
• We will deliver to your home or work on the day and time you choose per your zip code, straight to your door. We encourage you to be available during the delivery time, but we know that is not always possible. If you cannot be available, please make arrangements for us to drop off your order inside your house, with a neighbor, or a co-worker.

We hope you will support Connie and enjoy all she has to offer.

In the meantime, please enjoy these farmer quotes:

Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven’t planted. (David Bly)

If a farmer teaches one person about farming, it might not change the world; but it might change the world for that one person. (Farmer Tim)

In winter’s chill or summer’s heat, a farmer works so the world can eat. (unknown)

Thank you, farmers! And thank you to all our loyal customers. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Grower Spotlight and Holiday Gift Special from Connie's Cornucopia

This week, we hear from Connie. Be sure to check out her extensive product lineup, and shop her bath products for Holiday Packaging gift sets and special offers!

*At Connie’s Cornucopia, we believe you should let whole food be the prescription; or your prescriptions will be your food. Connie grew up in rural Ohio in the 1970’s on a self-sustaining 17-acre farm with 6 brothers and 2 sisters. Connie’s family raised livestock for meat and vegetables to not only eat but to preserve through canning and freezing so there would be enough over the winter. Connie wants to promote healthy living products, providing customers with year-around, all-natural fruits and vegetables through a Beyond-Organic Urban Farm based in Forsyth County GA since 2016.

*The natural-ingredient, Bath and Face Product Line will now have Holiday Packaging gift sets available just in time for Christmas. We are also offering a special for Christmas when you make a single purchase of 5 different items of our Bath and Body products you will receive a gift certificate of $5.00 off your next purchase. Please see the Grower’s new product listing in the coming weeks for all the exciting products! Connie remains proud to be part of the Cumming Harvest and looks forward to serving everyone in the future!

Now for the TRICK:

Bug-Infused Ice Cube Trick

*Freeze gummy worms or bug-shape candy into classic ice cube trays for a funny prank and spooky-sweet drink surprise. Place one candy in each cube, then fill the ice cube tray with water as usual. Once the water freezes, pop out the ice cubes and add them to any drink. Our favorite? Halloween-theme punch.
*Editor’s Tip: Don’t worry if the candy spills over the tray edge. It just adds to the scary effect of this Halloween prank.

Wellness Wednesday / Grower Spotlight

Have you tried Elderberry Syrup yet? Let’s talk about the health benefits and how to get some!

• Elderberries are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The health benefits associated with taking elderberry are known to boost the immune system. Elderberry syrup has been used as an effective natural remedy for centuries for treating and preventing colds, coughs and flu. Research shows the use of elderberry could shorten the duration of flu by about three to four days, along with lessening symptom severity if taken within the first 24 hours of having the flu.

Check out one of our growers who offers it and just replenished their inventory with us:

Good Shepherd Herbals

• Father’s Bounty Homestead is the home of Good Shepherd Herbals located in middle Tennessee. Our Elderberry Syrup, herbal salves, and goat’s milk soaps are made with care on our family farm. These are natural care alternatives to the commercial chemical laden products found in most stores.
• We use chemical free milk from our Saanen does to make our soaps. They are cold pressed and hand cut. All of our goat’s milk soaps are gentle and emollient; safe for infants, the elderly, and those with skin issues.
• Our various herbal salves are made in small batches. The herbal infusion process takes 14 days. Special attention is given to consistent temperatures and purity.

Our address is: 3540 Keith Bridge Road, Cumming 30041 (behind Hollywood Feed). Please be sure to come to the new address this weekend.

As a reminder the market is open from Wednesday morning through Thursday at 8pm for orders. All orders must be picked up on Saturday from 10am until 12pm noon. Please be respectful of our volunteers’ time and plan to pick up early and not right before noon.
