WHY BUY LOCAL?

Our farmers are dedicated to stewardship and committed to quality. And while they love what they do, many aren’t doing it for entertainment. They need to make a living. Consumers that value fresh food and a working landscape support local farmers by buying their products. Here are some reasons why:

LOCALLY GROWN food tastes better and is better for you. The crops are picked at their peak, the shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost. Food imported from far away is older and has traveled on trucks or planes, and sat in warehouses before it gets to you.

Local food preserves genetic diversity. Smaller local farms often grow many different varieties of crops to provide a long harvest season, an array of colors, and the best flavors.

Local farmers aren’t anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously.

Local food supports local families. The wholesale prices that farmers get for their products are low, often near the cost of production. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food – which helps farm families stay on the land.

Local food builds community. When you buy direct from a farmer, you’re engaging in a time-honored connection between eater and grower. Knowing farmers gives you insight into the seasons, the land, and your food. In many cases, it gives you access to a place where your children and grandchildren can go to learn about nature and agriculture.

Local food preserves open space. When farmers get paid more for their products by marketing locally, they’re less likely to sell farmland for development.

Local food benefits the environment and wildlife. Well-managed farms provide ecosystem services: they conserve fertile soil, protect water sources, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The farm environment is a patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, ponds and buildings that provide habitat for wildlife in our communities.

Local food is an investment in the future. By supporting local farmers today, you are helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. That is a matter of importance for food security, especially in light of an uncertain energy future and our current reliance on fossil fuels to produce, package, distribute and store food.

One of our local farmers at the Cumming Harvest is HEIRLOOM GARDENS

Heirloom gardens is CNG (certified naturally grown) and owner Paula Guilbeau personally ensures all her produce is of the highest quality. Check out her wonderful produce available under the “vegetables” tab on the market website.

Heirloom Gardens is located in the beautiful historic town of Dahlonega, known as the “heart” of the North Georgia Mountains. “It’s important to know what you’re eating. And it’s even more important to know what you aren’t eating. We produce naturally grown food year round using unheated hoop houses without the use of any synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Our offerings include a large variety of heirloom tomatoes and vegetables, salad greens and premium cut flowers.”

You can find more information about this locally grown farmer here

Local Raw Honey

Spring Allergies? Hay fever? Time to buzz by the Cumming Harvest for your local HONEY….

Spring is here – Hooray!!
With it comes the warm weather we have all been looking forward to but unfortunately for allergy sufferers Spring also arrives with lots of pollen. Now is the time to start taking raw, local honey to help alleviate pesky Spring allergies and hay fever. Honey is a well known remedy for allergies, but did you know it HAS to be locally produced for it to work. Makes sense when you think about it, your local bees are gathering pollen from the wildflowers around you to create their honey. By ingesting local honey, we help our immune systems deal with the local pollens around us.

Also, the honey should be raw, honey that is not raw has been pasteurized. During the pasteurization process many nutrients are sensitive to heat and will be destroyed. It’s the beneficial enzymes found in raw honey that make it so digestible to humans.

At the Cumming Harvest we offer a variety of honey products from B&B Enterprises who offer not only local and raw honey, but pesticide free as well!

Owners of B&B Enterprises – Bob & Bev Bradbury’s grow over 200 kinds of flowers, 36 kinds of vegetables, 12 kinds of fruit, many herbs and other bushes and trees.The bees not only pollinate the plants but bring back to the hives the pollen and nectar from which they make the honey. No insecticides are ever used on any of their products.

Pastured Eggs

Why pasture raised chickens produce better eggs…

Grass-fed/pastured hens are raised on pasture, as opposed to being kept in confinement and fed primarily grains. Eggs from pastured hens contain up to 20 times more healthy omega-3 fatty acids than their less fortunate cousins, factory hens. Pastured eggs also have 10 percent less fat, 40 percent more vitamin A, and 34 percent less cholesterol than eggs obtained from factory farms.

Pastured hens’ diets are naturally complemented with bugs, earthworms, and other such critters that give their eggs a huge nutritious oomph. Pastured hens are usually much healthier and happier than their space-restricted and antibiotic-pumped industrial cousins. In addition to being healthier for you, pasturing is also ecologically sustainable and the most humane way to produce eggs.

At the Cumming Harvest we offer pastured eggs from several local families. They are all fed GMO free grains and some are certified naturally grown using an organic feed. If you haven’t tried true pastured raised eggs, give them a try, not only are they better for you but the taste is superior to that of store bought eggs.

JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting


JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is a small batch craft coffee roaster located in Bethlehem, Georgia. Our roast philosophy is to roast each bean to bring out the best characteristics of the coffee. We carefully select specialty grade coffees from the main coffee regions of the world to ensure the best quality and variety in our green coffee inventory. These coffees are grown with sustainable practices and are purchased from sources that offer fair pricing to the farmers/producers.

Our focus is fresh roasted coffee. You place your order, we roast your coffee. Does this make a difference? Absolutely! Coffee reaches peak freshness within 24-48 hours after roasting, so we put the roast date on each bag. High quality, fresh roasted beans mean a smooth, flavorful cup of coffee. If you prefer decaf, we have a Swiss Water Process decaf from Brazil that was decaffeinated using only water, no chemicals.

Give a bag a try this week. We offer trio packs that let you try several coffees, as well as 1# bags and 5# bags. We are also happy to grind your coffee for drip brewing, a French press, Chemex, Keurig or any other brew method.
