_Grower Highlight of the Week!
Bo & Lisa’s Lil Patch
Certified Naturally Grown
*_*Lisa Says…
Bo & Lisa are not new to farming , but are new to having our very own farm.
We have 14.28 acres in beautiful Aragon Ga., 70 miles from Lilburn, Ga. We share a passion and love for farming naturally with wholesome products that are good for your health and budget._
*_*Bo is a beekeeper! We have Italian bees and produce RAW honey . We only strain it once and never heat our honey, so that you receive the FULL nutritional benefits. Our bees are happy to pollinate our blueberry field._
*_*Yes! We are blueberry farmers too! Our blueberries shrubs are 4 years old and
are producing more each year. We do not use any chemicals, only a natural fossil substance (Diatomaceous Earth) that is edible and healthy for all to eat._
*_*We appreciate your willingness to support local farming and our desire to be good stewards of the land we have been given. We would like you to know that a portion of our sales go to a Christian Health Retreat and Healing Center (homeforhealth.net) in Kentucky for healing spiritually as well as physically through Jesus Christ . This facility is run by medical missionaries and is close to our hearts as Lisa is a cancer survivor! We donate funds to help with scholarships for those who have no means of getting help for their illness. We donate as well to other cancer centers such as the AFLAC Cancer Center for children in Atlanta. You can read about how Jesus healed Lisa at : http://www.cancer-research-awareness.com/god-healed-lisa.html
Thank you for letting us grow healthy nutrient dense food for your family and for helping to support these other causes. Be well friends and many blessings to you and your family.
In His service, Bo and Lisa*_*

We have opportunities to get some really cool items but there are minimum limits for some to get them offered on the Market. So be looking for that as I share the wonderful items available to us and see your interest!
Is anyone interested in Azure Standard? They are a group buy that is delivered once a month. We have the opportunity to participate….so go on

_As Always….
_Please share with friends and family about us so that we can give more people the opportunity to buy and eat healthy! Local farmers need our support to keep providing us with all the fresh foods! If we don’t give them enough business, it’s hard for them to continue to deliver to us. Please let’s not let that happen! Tell your friends about us so we can keep the Growers supported as this is how they make their living. *_
Thank you to all of you who support Gwinnett Locally Grown!

The Cumming Harvest - Closed: Newsletter - February 18, 2015
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting is a small batch craft coffee roaster located in Bethlehem, Georgia. Our roast philosophy is to roast each bean to bring out the best characteristics of the coffee. We carefully select specialty grade coffees from the main coffee regions of the world to ensure the best quality and variety in our green coffee inventory. These coffees are grown with sustainable practices and are purchased from sources that offer fair pricing to the farmers/producers.
Our focus is fresh roasted coffee. You place your order, we roast your coffee. Does this make a difference? Absolutely! Coffee reaches peak freshness within 24-48 hours after roasting, so we put the roast date on each bag. High quality, fresh roasted beans mean a smooth, flavorful cup of coffee. If you prefer decaf, we have a Swiss Water Process decaf from Brazil that was decaffeinated using only water, no chemicals.
Give a bag a try this week. We offer trio packs that let you try several coffees, as well as 1# bags and 5# bags. We are also happy to grind your coffee for drip brewing, a French press, Chemex, Keurig or any other brew method.

Champaign, OH: Stand By Me
When the night has come, and the land is dark…
And the moon is the only light we will see…
(Stand By Me- Ben E. King)
Well, little local market of love customers, we have arrived at that bewitching hour…the hour that is the last call, the last hour of the market for the week.
The night has truly come to a very busy day, a very productive day, for your market manager. I am trying to get my shop ready to throw open the doors. It amazes me how I can totally get lost in whatever I am doing, only to look at the time, and be amazed that an entire day has floated by.
You have this last hour to make your choices on the market. Place your orders, relax, and know that we are here, standing by you, making sure that we give you the best of the best. The Rock Stars Of Local…
Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam
