The Wednesday Market: Place Your Orders Now for Tuesday Pick Up
Good evening.
This is a reminder that we are shifting The Wednesday Market schedule backwards by one day this week to allow for Thanksgiving. Therefore, the ordering system is now enabled. Orders may be placed until 11 p.m. Sunday night. They will be available for pick up between 3 and 6 p.m. TUESDAY.
Here is the link: https://wednesdaymarket.locallygrown.net/market
Be sure to place your orders on time. You do not want to miss out on purchasing a tasty harvest for your Thanksgiving meal!
We thank our local farmers and all of the producers and vendors who make up The Wednesday Market for their tireless efforts growing, baking, and making their products to bring to market each week.
And, as we are in the spirit of giving thanks, please extend your appreciation to the dedicated volunteers who staff The Wednesday Market week in and week out, year round: Anna Evans, Sharon Fox, and Irmalee Wing. Thanks also to Kim Sellers, who we call on to “fill in” sometimes whenever one of us can’t be at the Market.
We thank all of you for being our customers.
Happy Thanksgiving!

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Turkey Deliveries tomorrow
For those of you that have pre-ordered a Thanksgiving Turkey and a holiday ham…Greg will be delivering these tomorrow and you can pick them up between 10-12pm.
Here’s what Heritage Farm has to say…
We have the birds all cleaned and packaged and are headed for home. They are BEAUTIFUL!!! They did run a little larger this year so our average size is 19 pounds and the average breast only is about 7 pounds. All whole birds and breasts will have a balance due at pickup. We sold the whole breasts as an approx 4.5 pound item but since they are almost 7 pounds we will have to collect balance at pick up. In most cases this will be about $20.00 extra on the breast only packs. For the whole birds it will be $7.90 per pound less your deposit. Looking forward to seeing you all soon!!!
