The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - June 3, 2015
A NOTE ABOUT PEACHES – Organic peaches do not have any synthetic fungicide or petroleum-based wax to extend their naturally short shelf-life. We deliver them slightly firm, and they soften extremely quickly, so prepare to eat or process them within about two days of delivery.
VENDOR OF THE DAY
VENDOR OF THE DAY – Keena’s Kake Designs – All natural Sweet Snacks
Join us this Saturday to welcome a new vendor to our market and sample some delicious treats….KKD makes all natural sweet snacks that are free of any artificial additives and made with organic sugar and non-GMO ingredients.
Keena’s Kake Designs was born from a love of making delicious, custom baked goods for my family and friends at an affordable price. It also evolved from my desire to provide my family with high quality natural and organic foods; come to find out, it’s not always easy to find sweets that do not contain artificial colors, preservatives and other additives. So, Fudgeez and Blondeez will always be all-natural, non-GMO, and made with organic cacao! We’re a snack company with integrity: if I wouldn’t feed it to my family, I won’t feed it to yours!

Back to Eden: Experiencing Healing & Life Through Food
JUNE 20, 2015 – 9-7pm
Calling all local, non-GMO, organic, humane farmers & livestock handlers! First Alliance Church in Atlanta (near Decatur) is hosting an all-day, one-day event as a community service to raise awareness of the need to get back to local, organic food sources and to equip the community with practical steps. We want to support local, non-GMO, organic, humane farmers/livestock handlers by giving them the opportunity to have free booths at this event (with or without produce on hand) so that the community can meet you. We are still looking for farmers, dairies, beekeepers, etc., so please spread the word! For details please see our website or call me, Margarita Szechenyi, directly at 678-200-9712.
(This event is not a farmers market, but you can bring produce to sell if you have a business/vendor license, or you can receive donations for your produce. You are also welcome to bring small animals from your farm for children to pet. We are very interested in supporting small, new farms, beekeepers, etc., so while bringing produce is encouraged, it is not a requirement.)

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 FArm, week of May 31. 2015
As of May 31st, we can offer 38 items including the following crops: rocket, kale, mixed greens, chard and green onions. I have short list of transplants available for sale: Tiara cabbage (the popular early one), chard, tomatoes and more) There are lots of eggs. My flour mill is back in service so I can offer whole ground Red Fife Wheat flour.
Specials on asparagus and rhubarb. I have lamb on now at 10% discount till it’s gone.
Camelia is cooking prepared foods from our produce: garlic pesto, cucumber relish, quiches (on order).
Meats
I have 3 lambs in the freezer. Folks are starting to ask about placing orders for roasting chickens for next summer. Yes you can, leave me a deposit of $11 a bird, minimum 5 birds.
Eggs
The layers are back in the eggmobile, in the pasture eating grass and the yolks are bright yellow/orange. My regular price is $6/XL doz. I sell mixed size dozens that weigh at least 588 gm (medium), 672 grams, the ‘large’ size dozen, and Extra Large, 770gm plus carton. Please bring in recycled cartons.
Raw Honey
Sorry, sold out. I lost all colonies over the harsh winter, have not restocked and pondering what to do. It’s heavy work.
Thank you to all bringing in recycled egg cartons; you can start saving for me again.
Notes
1. Produce units available are same as price unit. eg 500 gram, each, etc.
2. Quantity available is almost always estimated, so if you see a negative number, go ahead and order it, I can fill in most cases.
3. If you order and don’t pick up, I trust you will pay.
Your bit of inspiration for the week: a list of 100 people whe have contributed to the understanding of how to live well within the Earth’s means.
The (En)Rich List celebrates a wealth of inspirational individuals. Collectively, the people highlighted on this website present a rich tapestry that points to globally prosperous and sustainable futures.
The Post Growth Institute spent months defining and refining this list, motivated by the way mainstream media often notes achievement: by celebrating material and monetary wealth. Take, for example, the Forbes Rich List, released each March, which showcases the world’s wealthiest billionaires.
Those listed in the ‘Top 100’ and ‘Honourable Mentions’ have a diversity of approaches, positions (both geographical and political), and perspectives. They have opened up new avenues for engagement with important matters by inviting us to question what is fact, belief or perception, challenging us to imagine ways to a sustainable future.
