Conyers Locally Grown: Market canceled for Friday June 24
With a heavy heart I need to cancel this weeks market. We have had a death in the family. We will need to focus all our attention on my sister and her family. My nephew Dillon passed away yesterday from complications with his diabetes. This tragedy strikes hard. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we try to find closure.
Thank you,

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: This Week at The Cumming Harvest
WHY BUY LOCAL?
Our farmers are dedicated to stewardship and committed to quality. And while they love what they do, many aren’t doing it as a hobby. They need to make a living. Consumers that value fresh food and a working landscape support local farmers by buying their products. Here are some reasons why:
LOCALLY GROWN food tastes better and is better for you. The crops are picked at their peak, the shorter the time between the farm and your table, the less likely it is that nutrients will be lost. Food imported from far away is older and has traveled on trucks or planes, and sat in warehouses before it gets to you.
Local food preserves genetic diversity. Smaller local farms often grow many different varieties of crops to provide a long harvest season, an array of colors, and the best flavors.
Local farmers aren’t anonymous and they take their responsibility to the consumer seriously.
Local food supports local families. The wholesale prices that farmers get for their products are low, often near the cost of production. Local farmers who sell direct to consumers cut out the middleman and get full retail price for their food – which helps farm families stay on the land.
Local food builds community. When you buy direct from a farmer, you’re engaging in a time-honored connection between eater and grower. Knowing farmers gives you insight into the seasons, the land, and your food. In many cases, it gives you access to a place where your children and grandchildren can go to learn about nature and agriculture.
Local food preserves open space. When farmers get paid more for their products by marketing locally, they’re less likely to sell farmland for development.
Local food benefits the environment and wildlife. Well-managed farms provide ecosystem services: they conserve fertile soil, protect water sources, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. The farm environment is a patchwork of fields, meadows, woods, ponds and buildings that provide habitat for wildlife in our communities.
Local food is an investment in the future. By supporting local farmers today, you are helping to ensure that there will be farms in your community tomorrow. That is a matter of importance for food security, especially in light of an uncertain energy future and our current reliance on fossil fuels to produce, package, distribute and store food.

There will not be any tax added to your order either. We have added a couple of new farmers this week that will be posting more products to sell such as “beefalo” a mixed breed of bison and bovine! We of course still have Ratchford Farms bison, elk, and grass fed beef for sale online and in the market! Please share this site with your friends. We will have an add on KHPHQ92 this upcoming week and an ad in the Van Buren County Democrat explaining the new site!
