The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - April 15, 2015
Wow, Now that is a big galon of milk!
Heritage Farm is now selling Raw Cows Milk through The Cumming Harvest.
Their grass fed jersey cows produce healthy, whole milk. Supplemental feed is organic, non-GMO and non soy.
Prices will be $9 per gallon and $5 per half gallon. Initially there will be a limited supply so order early, if the interest is there then Greg can increase production as needed down the road to meet the demand.
Please note: In the state of Georgia raw milk is labeled for pet consumption only
Heritage Farm specializes in grass fed and pastured meats including beef, pork, poultry, rabbit, and lamb. They employ rotational grazing methods for the benefit of animal welfare and soil health. Their animals enjoy fresh forage and the pasture rotation provides a constant supply of natural fertilizer to the pastures. They do not give their animals antibiotics or growth hormones and do not use harmful chemicals, herbicides, or pesticides on our pastures.
NEW product this week – Heritage farms will be selling chicken sausage, they will also have chicken breasts and legs for sale as well.

Old99Farm Market: Old 99 Farm, Week of Apr 12, 2015
More greens each week, though the quantities are still small. So be quick and get the greens you want. Seedlings are started for lots of lettuces, chard, peppers, tomatoes, onions, cabbages, and more.
Where to get credible nutritional information? I came across this essay and quote it below. It’s a blog post from Jan 30, 2015, by Tina Paxton, (“I live on .6 acres in a ‘sub-rural’ coastal community, NC. I have a BA in Human Relations and an MA in Nutrition but currently earn a paycheck doing research and adding info to a database.”)

I’ve spent a lot of time looking at what the WAPF teaches/preaches as well as what Paleo/Primal teaches. There are many similarities (bone broth, the love of butter…) and there are a few disagreements (grains). It is one of those situations where I wish they would focus on their agreements and not separate on their disagreements.
Both camps have their dogmatism but I think WAPF is more entrenched and less flexible on their dogma (Fermented Cod Liver Oil and High Vitamin Butter Oil being their most dogmatic doctrines) than the Paleo/Primal folks are. I prefer the flexibility of Paleo/Primal perhaps for no better reason that I tried the FCLO and HVBO and as God is my witness they both made me ill! I’ll get my vitamin A and D in other forms, thanks!
Where they all agree:
1. Processed foods are killing us.
2. Animal fat and coconut oil are good for us.
3. vegetable oils are bad.
4. Soy – bad.
5. GMOs – bad
6. EAT REAL FOOD
7. Eat fermented food.
8. BONE BROTH ROCKS — drink lots of it!
9. Animal protein (pastured) is good for us (some disagreement in how much).
Healthy Eating,
Ian and Cami
Fisher's Produce: Harvest Update
We had a good asparagus harvest today, despite having to pick in the rain, and a farmer shouldn’t compain about the rain, so it was a good day.
Other items of interest around the farm: Hudson and I ate the first ripe strawberry of the season yesterday (and Chantee followed it up a few seconds later with the second). It won’t be long until there are more!
We have room for several more CSA members this season. If you or any of your friends are interested, let us know. We can work out a pro-rated membership fee (280.00) as we have already passed the first delivery.
This week’s CSA selection will likely include:
Fall harvested sweet potatoes (very excellent)
and your choice of:
Asparagus and Spinach (two bunches/bags total)
Collards, Kale, or Bok Choi
Baby lettuce mix or butterhead lettuce
Salad Turnips or Easter Egg Radishes
Green Onions or Basil
See you on Thursday!
Luke
