The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - February 18, 2015
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.

Champaign, OH: Stand By Me
When the night has come, and the land is dark…
And the moon is the only light we will see…
(Stand By Me- Ben E. King)
Well, little local market of love customers, we have arrived at that bewitching hour…the hour that is the last call, the last hour of the market for the week.
The night has truly come to a very busy day, a very productive day, for your market manager. I am trying to get my shop ready to throw open the doors. It amazes me how I can totally get lost in whatever I am doing, only to look at the time, and be amazed that an entire day has floated by.
You have this last hour to make your choices on the market. Place your orders, relax, and know that we are here, standing by you, making sure that we give you the best of the best. The Rock Stars Of Local…

South Cumberland Farmer's Market: NO MARKET TODAY ! !
MARKET IS CANCELLED TODAY. This is the first time we have ever had to call market because of weather, but since there is a State of Emergency for middle and east Tennessee and the Sewanee PD is advising against any road travel if not an emergency we feel it is prudent to keep as many people of the roads as possible.
See you next week!
Thanks!

Suwanee Whole Life Co-op: Co-op Pick Up moved to Wed
Good Morning! Due to weather conditions, power outages, and because we have many farmers and vendors that can’t make delivery today, we’ve decided to move market pick up to Wednesday instead.
If you have a produce box and/or market order pick up will be tomorrow Wednesday)from 1pm to 6:45pm.
We hope this doesn’t cause too much inconvenience but the safety of our farmers, vendors and members is our highest concern.
Thank you and stay warm!

Champaign, OH: Here Comes The Sun
Little Darling the smiles returning to their faces…
(Here Comes The Sun-The Beatles)
Well, we’ve got the sun. It’s freezing cold, snowy, patches of ice, but I will take the sun!! Just the sight of the sun out my windows warms my soul, makes me smile, and helps me begin the countdown out of the winter mess of blues…
So, to celebrate the sun, why not take a bit of time, collect your thoughts, make a list, and place your market orders from the comfort of wherever you are. It’s easy, stress free, requires no bundling up for the grocery store, no fighting the winter crazed crowds. Just you, the market, your order, and then, done! All that’s left if zipping to the YMCA, on Thursday evening, to grab your order and head home.
Easy, fun, healthy, affordable…you will feel the sunshine your soul…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
