The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - January 28, 2015
Market News
The market is open and ready for you to place orders online. You may pay online or when you pick up with either cash, check or a credit card. A 3% convenience fee is added to all credit card payments, online and in person.
VICKERY PICK-UP – This week you may choose to pick up your order from the Vickery Village Cherry Street Taproom between 1:30-2:30pm. If you would like to pick up at Vickery choose VICKERY PICK-UP under the category on The Market. Unfortunately not be able to order meat or seafood due to the fact that in order to transport meat or seafood a mobile meat license is required and only our farmers have one. Once we see how popular this location is we may determine that deliveries by the vendors can be made directly to Vickery including meat and seafood.
DELIVERY to Vickery/Polo Area – Please add this item to your order if you would like delivery to your home on Saturday between 1-3pm. Only prepaid orders will be accepted. Deliveries will be dropped off at your front door. If you are not going to be home, please leave a insulated bag or cooler for your order. The delivery person is not responsible for making sure your food is in the appropriate container once dropped off. Please plan for possible rain and make sure your order will be protected. The delivery person will travel with your orders in insulated bags with ice packs to protect it during travel. No Meat or Seafood will be able to be delivered.
Green Pasture Cod Liver Oil Taste Test This Saturday, Sandra Walker, our Roswell Weston Price Chapter Leader, will be at the market talking to us about the various health benefits of cod liver oil as well as offering you a taste of various flavors to find which one you like best. I know this may not sound appealing but fermented cod liver oil is one of the best supplements you should add to your diet. If you can take the liquid, you should take it over the capsules. Plus, the earlier you start your children on it the easier it is to give it to them. I have parents tell me they are giving the non-flavored cod liver oil to their infants and their children love it. When you find your perfect flavor, we can take your order to be added to our next group buy on February 13th.
CalyRoad Creamery North Georgia’s Finest Handcrafted Artisan Cheeses…Coming Soon!

Group Buy

ALFN Local Food Club: Sunday! Sunday!! Sunday!!!
Whether you’re cheering for the one team or that other team, don’t forget that the best part of The Big Game is the food! Lucky for you, we have an abundance of treats just waiting to be ordered.
For many folks, tailgating (even if you do it in your living room) means meat! If you happen to be on of those people, check out the Meat section for a smorgasbord of carnivorous culinary options. You can’t go wrong with brats, hot dogs, or steaks, but if you have a little more prep time in your schedule, some slowly smoked ribs will definitely impress. Then again, there’s ground beef galore on The Market,
and meatballs and burgers are classic game day grub.
If 2015 feels like the year to start thinking outside the box for your sports related snacking needs, why not order some pastured eggs, animal welfare approved ham, and shiitake mushrooms so you can whip up a batch of mini quiches? And if you love deviled eggs but can’t peel a pretty egg, add a loaf of ciabatta to your order and give deviled egg toast a try. Leave off the ham and garnish with fresh jalapenos or jalapeno pickles for a little vegetarian-friendly kick. Speaking of veggie-friendly fare, you can’t go wrong with kale chips and sweet potato fries. Add a little extra cumin and cayenne, and omnivores and herbivores alike will love ’em.
Then again, you might have a lot of face painting to do, and those giant foam fingers make terrible oven mitts. Order an assortment of hummus (hummuses? hummi?) with bok choy and sweet colored peppers for dipping, and can have a tasty local snack spread without spending a minute in the kitchen.
Whatever you choose, be sure to order before The Market closes at noon tomorrow!
psst… Annual Sports Day isn’t the only holiday on the horizon. St. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner as well. Take a quick peek at the Gift Baskets & Sets section for some fantastic gift ideas.

Cape Locally Grown: Why Local Rocks!
Why buy local?!?
Produce is more nutrient dense.
The more time it takes from the farm to your plate the less nutrition you end up with.
Your $$$ is supporting the local economy. When the local economy is flourishing you contribute to a more stable future.
Small producers can produce a higher quality product.
You make some great friends!!!
Be part of the solution! BUY LOCAL!
Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op: SOLAR PANEL COOPERATIVE MEETING
Spa City Co-op members -
If you are thinking about the possibility of installing solar panels on your sunny roof or property you may be interested in coming to an organizational meeting at the Unitarian Universalist Church tomorrow, Weds., Jan 28, at 5:30 p.m.
