Veggie Patch has some seedlings available for you this week. And if you’ve never tried their salsa, I highly recommend it. It’s so good that I haven’t bought any other salsa in a couple years.
There are whole chickens listed, and wings, backs, etc just waiting to made into bone broth or stock.
Part One of the Wine Making Class is on Tuesday. Don’t miss it! All the details are below.

Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living.
Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!
If there is something you’d like to see in the Market, please let me know! I would love your input!
Remember…
The Market is extending their hours! The Market will now be open from 4:00 to 7:00pm!

Champaign, OH: The Local Groove!
Good morning, lovely customers of our little local market of love!
I am just sending you a little local groove line to remind you that if you are looking for something local to do, this weekend, you know where you need to be…
Freshwater Farms at their annual Ohio Fish and Shrimp Festival!!
It begins on Friday at 4pm, and it runs until Sunday evening…
It’s the best time, it’s another of my favorite festivals of the year, and they show local love!!
FFWF opens their festival to local farmer’s market vendors, they feature an amazing variety of local bands from not only surrounding counties but from right here in Champaign County, and they feature their own amazing food, showcased up in their al fresco restaurant area, and then they offer both local food vendors as well as amazing seafood vendors from all over.
Kids love the activities, it’s a great family weekend, it’s really a local groovy time!!
From this little local market, you will find Freshwater Farms, of course…then you will find, JC Growers, Sunshine Gardens, and you will find myself, along with Oakview Farm Meats bringing you the local goodness of Oakview’s local sandwiches, chops, brats, and wraps, AND, my own…Cosmic Pizza My Heart! Personal sized festival pizzas featuring a vegetarian version AND the debut of a Cosmic Shrimp/Bacon pizza…
Make your weekend plans but make sure they include a stop at Freshwater Farms!

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: The Cumming Harvest - This Week
Market News
It’s really starting to feel like Fall. I know we’ll be getting some more hot days, but the average first frost for much of our area is only five or six weeks away, which will be here before we know it.
The growers are also welcoming the cooler air, as it helps the fall veggies they’ve been planting know that it really is ok to start growing and leafing out. In the meanwhile, they’re nurturing in the summer plants so they can keep harvesting right up until that frost comes.
Many of our growers extend the season with high tunnels, hoop houses, and greenhouses. This lets them keep the summer crops going for a few weeks or even all year ’round. Even a small greenhouse hybrid tomato grown locally and picked when ripe tastes better than a tropically-grown tomato shipped here while still rock hard. Eating seasonally is important, but using a little bit of know-how to extend the seasons enough to get us a few luxuries is pretty nice too.
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.
DELIVERY We are postponing Vickery pick up and delivery in September.
Main Market Location and Pick Up
Building 106, Colony Park Dr. in the Basement of Suite 100, Cumming, GA 30040. Pick up every Saturday between 10-12pm.
