No Gluten, Inc.
Wow! Mina was the “Farmer of the Day” at the Lilburn Market yesterday and she will be at our Market Thursday. You all did have a lot of yummy samples to taste yesterday and she will have more to taste when she visits us. No Gluten Inc. is Celiac friendly and their offerings are quite impressive and delicious!. Mina developed her mixes because she was diagnosed with a severe Gluten allergy. The Bakery is dedicated to Gluten Free Baking so there is no chance for any contamination from wheat. The staff is working hard to get everything listed; however, there are a good number of products offered as we open Market today. I will let you know as soon as other items are offered! Sarah and I got the Rye Bread yesterday and it is delicious! Ham and Cheese on Rye Bread??? YES! It has been a lot of years since I have enjoyed one of those!

Many of you have told me that you can’t volunteer due to your work/family schedule and I completely understand. You’ve also asked what else can I do help out the co-op?

Champaign, OH: Cherry Baby
I’ve been trying for a long, long time…
Just to capture you inside a rhyme…
How to keep you here inside with me…
Till they say that I can be set free…
Oh, don’t you know…
I’m never gonna ever let you go…
Cause you’re so sweet…
I’ve got to have you Cherry…
Mmmmm, Cherry baby…
(Cherry Baby-Starz)
Well, last week we had to say goodbye to Steven of The Berry Patch, and his amazing strawberries…
But, don’t be sad, no need to cry, because tonight, live and in person, in the lobby of the YMCA, at order pick up, we have the return of our favorite little duo…The Herrs of Herr Family Farm!!
And, by the song lyrics, today, you just KNOW I am going to tell you that they will have their fresh sweet cherries!!
They will be selling off of their own table, so bring extra cash with you!! The cherries are so good!! They sold like crazy at Tuesday’s Mechanicsburg Rustic Roadside Farmers’ Market, and now, for a limited, exclusive event, they will make an appearance at our little local market of love…
Even if you didn’t place an order, make sure to stop and get your sweet cherries, baby!
Also…I am off to dance and play, tonight, so your other manager, Mark, will be running the show!!
Much love!!
Peace, Love, Grooviness…

Gwinnett Locally Grown: MARKET IS OPEN AND WE HAVE NEW ITEMS!
The Market is now OPEN until Monday at noon!! Click here to order now!
Hey there everyone!
First of all, I want to give a big WELCOME to all of our new members! Thank you for choosing Gwinnett Locally Grown and for supporting our local farmers. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week and everyone is enjoying all the delicious food you picked up this week.
I have a few announcements to make, some new things up on the market this week. Pilar has finished brewing a few batches of Kombucha this past couple of weeks! We have two flavors available, mint and hibiscus and you can purchase that by the bottle or by the gallon. We also have milk kefir grains and kobucha starter kits, and all of that is available under the Ferments category in the market. I love Kombucha, for those of you who haven't heard of it; kombucha is a fermented tea beverage and a great source of probiotics (good intestinal bacteria). The health benefits of fermented foods are just endless, think of your gut and your gut bacteria as your second brain. Probiotics are a great way to keep and maintain a healthy gut! If you are curious let me know, I'll have samples this week.
A new addition to the market, but not up on the site yet is BLUEBERRIES!! which I absolutely love. We'll have a limited quantity available at the market for $3.40/pint so pick one up before they are all gone!
Peppers, cucumbers, and beans are all in season so make sure you take advantage and stock up! Check out the great and growing variety of veggies available. And don't forget to pick up your essentials for the week:
- Raw Cow's and Goat's Milk
- Pastured Chicken and Duck Eggs
- Pastured Chicken and Pork
- Grass Fed Beef
- Local Honey (great to treat allergies!)
- Locally Roasted Coffee
- Savory Jams and Grain Mixes
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments, as well as any feedback on how we can better serve you. I am available Monday-Thursday 11am-4pm. grow@ranchoalegrefarm.com or 770-339-3065 ext 5
The Market is open Thursday at 9am – Monday at noon. After Monday at noon, ordering is disabled until Thursday morning. Pick up your order Tuesday from 4-7pm only at Rancho Alegre Farm at 2225 Givens Road, Dacula, GA 30019. New to The Market? Learn about how it works here

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: This Week at The Cumming Harvest
Market News
The Cumming Harvest is open for orders!
Eggs As of this writing, we unfortunately don’t have any eggs available this week. I think we have close to 8 doz in the market fridge and those will be sold first come first serve on Saturday at pick up. There are some farmers on vacation and I’m guessing the chickens have started protesting the heat. Even though we have eggs available throughout the year, there are still waves of supply and this week we are experiencing the low end of the wave. Eggs will be back soon, stay tuned.
Summer Veggies There is a good variety listed of summer veggies this week: Beans, beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cucumbers, garlic, kale, various lettuces, onions, rutabagas, squash, chard, tomatoes, and zucchini.
Summer Fruit Blueberries have started to come in and we also have raspberries and peaches.
